A Single Step
02:48
|
|
||
Another near escape for me
Another almost all-time low
A single step is all it takes
I catch my breath, I count again
Nothing ever heals
And no-one ever feels
The Same
Silent middle distance stares
Being there, a step from here
I need to speak, but what to say ?
So I pretend, all is well
In Nowhereland
I pretend
All is well

Discovery Awaits
04:24

Dawn came, dawn went, the clock had lost its hold
The door for me unlocked at last
Ghosts of doubt haunt me no more
Receding as I chase the light
Motion frees, you don't look back
Only straight ahead
And then life happens once again
Unbound by tide, unbound by time, panoramas never looked so wide
And I don't have to hide
In this immensity
Oh this reverie
It lets me speak
It lets me be
Speak the language as if it's new
Just speak it from the heart
Emotion stirs, I turn to you
To dreaming fields go down
No going back, discovery awaits

City Song
06:54
|
|
||
Wheels turning out of sight, towards the sun towards the light
Distant mantra draws me on
Then I see how far I've come
And how far left to go for me
A lullaby of motion gently builds until
I hear a song
The song a city sings
There beyond the skyline, more than glass or steel
A rhythm always changing, a tempo you can feel
Movement quick with purpose, a beating heart I see
Melody in everything, it sings to me
Safe from Autumn winds, swiftly rising high
In the clouds, we pause awhile
They begin their serenade then see us away
Kaleidoscope of faces, marvel as the colours blur
I hear the song this city sings
I thought I'd never hear
Saying yes once more
Say it, from the heart
A lullaby of motion gently builds until
I hear the melody, the song this city sings
Sings for me
Rising, reviving, anew, everything
The song is now

First Rays
05:56
|
|
||
First rays of a new day, dawn vivid in its light
Softly breathe and hold the dream, fading now from sight
This restless mind composed the saddest lines
Repeat but fail in finding sense, escaping troubled times
And so it's still now, restless no more
Rejoicing in completeness
Quiet smile, softly sigh, embrace the here and now
Outside of time
Life defined by motion, endlessly in flight
Frightened of the silence, afraid of the night
Darkness has no place here, melancholy lost
Regrets dispelled, still true but gone, no longer count the cost
And so it's still now, restless no more
Celebrate completeness
Quiet smile, softly sigh, embrace the here and now
Outside of time
Facing, displacing, accepting, all before
Advancing, embracing, loving, this new day
Discovering in loving
This new day, in every way
