It’s alright, it’s okay, that’s what they always say, come what may But are they just some words to keep you satisfied? Little white lies to keep your dreams alive? There's a truth, to the words of kindness coming your way, don’t send them away If you hear them, know there's someone there to lean on If you hear them, know there's something you gotta work on Don’t cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way To see where you're going, who you’ll be You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Stormy days, stormy nights, don’t let your roof cave in, don’t let it sink in You gotta take your tools and make yourself a hammer Show the fools your day’s before-and-after Don’t cast aside the tide, it can bring what you need to survive All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way To see where you're going, who you’ll be You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Don’t cast aside the tide, it’s there to help you survive You’ll find a new way of life, I think that you might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea On a sailing boat for you and me Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see) You might call it sailing Sailing on the deep blue sea Living life so fancy free It’s all yours to take or to surrender Get your pain and take it back to sender

I guess the mystery’s solved: I was the fool I never saw you as something more than a pretty jewel Gotta catch up with the times, is there any last hope of another chance Cos I’m falling behind again I’m still coming around the bend I’m losing my sense of faith And I’m falling behind again Whatever you may say, I'd understand I guess I’ll walk my own way, empty heart and hands Better make up for my borrowed time, but is there any hope for one final dance Cos I’m falling behind again I’m still coming around the bend I’m losing my sense of faith And I’m falling behind again Soon you’ll see, a better me A new man that you’ve never seen before You’ll have A nice surprise in store, But still I’m falling behind again I’m still coming around the bend I’m losing my sense of faith And I’m falling behind again I’m failing to hide the way That I’m feeling every single day And I’m hoping it goes away But I’m fearing it’s here to stay

You open the door, you don’t think anymore It’s all a big dream Fish made of gold, suits pressed pristine You shout at the sky, tell me how, tell me why Is it a good day, again All according to plan, bills paid, new shoes The birthday card sent And all the while, there's a job to be had You have a reserved spot waiting for you You do your deeds and in return you Get a lifetime of perfection You pinch yourself, thinking this is a dream But against all odds, life is as it seems There’s no way out, there’s no release for you So I’m afraid you’re gonna have to live with this Special state of eternal bliss Everything’s fine, no need to worry Everything’s fine, it’s all under control Everything’s fine, don’t need to pull a single hair from your head It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may You see blue skies every way you turn your head You close the door, the world smiles and salutes you You give a like reply Warm winter morn, not a fleck in the sky You work nine-to-five for a pat on the back from the scythe Good news from the mail, the steak costs a nail From your fingertip You pinch yourself, thinking this is a dream But against all odds, life is as it seems There’s no way out, there’s no release for you So I’m afraid you’re gonna have to live with this Special state of eternal bliss Everything’s fine, no need to worry Everything’s fine, it’s all under control Everything’s fine, don’t need to pull a single hair from your head It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may You see blue skies every way you turn your head Everything’s fine, no need to worry Everything’s fine, it’s all under control Everything’s fine, don’t need to pull a single hair from your head It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may You see blue skies every way you turn your head Blue, I see blue, icy blue I see blue skies every way I turn my head Blue, I see blue, icy blue I see blue skies every way I turn my head

There’s a man with a book in his hands, trying to lead the way Cos when the sunlight fades, we’re lost in a haze Longing to understand As the moon comes to welcome the night, we find ourselves in light A mysterious glow, we no longer know Longing to be right Some feel so alone, wanting to be in the know But can I follow what you say, can you tell me where I lay, can you tell me the (Ooh) Color of the wind There are lines drawn in the sand, so many stars ago They’re a sign of times before time arrives Longing to be heard Is it a call to pray or play, nature thrown in disarray A lifeline holding us in place Longing to escape Some look to the past, asking if we were the last But can we read into their hearts, do they tell us who we are, do they tell us the (Ooh) Color of the wind (Ooh) Color of the wind Some dare to ask of thoughts no one has had Looking for reasons, looking for rhymes But time, time and again, those in the know put on a show Telling things with little sense, facts that make no difference, they tell us the (Ooh) Color of the wind (Ooh) Color of the wind There comes a time when there’s no way out Gotta follow the signs, no drinks allowed Push a button, pull a lever and pretend that you’re clever Better late than never Tell me how the planets spin around and around Keep your distance, look ahead and don’t make a sound You can find what you want from a mountain top You could hear a needle drop Faces hiding smiles hiding in my pocket Or someone’s special treasure under lock in a locket The color of the wind can set you free If you want to see it you will see

You know that I am alive, but broken in two Hanging around with nothing better to do Holding on just by a thread, trading a bottle for a glass instead I’m trying to take it in stride, whatever it may be Looking for something I’m too stupid to see Doesn’t have to be this hard, to reclaim a misguided heart Maybe time, time breaks you the hardest So I’ll finish what I started Wasting my hours, looking for reasons, looking for rhymes It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but can make for free It’s been a good long while, and I’m back on my feet Tapping my steps to a different beat Seasons come and seasons go, nothing’s for certain, that much I do know Feels like something’s changed, for better or worse A new sign to show me anything goes Take a breath and let it out, there’s a sun behind the clouds Looking out, I see a new day approaching, no reason not to fit in Make a new plan, give it another go, and give it all you can It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but can make for free if you wanna make you better Be it a book or just a letter Just don’t care, looking for a reason when it isn’t there Step by step, one at a time, life’ll show you how to make it right It doesn’t have to be this hard, wasting time Looking for reasons, looking for rhymes It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to be Know that happiness is not for you to take, but something made for free instead It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you wanted to see Know that happiness is not for you to take, but something made for free instead It’s not you, it’s not me, it’s whatever you want it to be Hoping for a summer after the fall, waiting for a sign, anything at all It’s not you, it’s not me...

There's nothing left to say, so turn and walk away Nothing to settle, all things together, are gone with yesterday I’ve said what you're to do, just leave me cold and blue Like change in the weather, nothing’s forever, not even me and you If summer comes to warm me so let it be If winter stays with me, I won’t try to flee If there's a change of heart set to follow me There's nothing I will do No falling star can guarantee a life Of happiness for me No wishful thinking can turn back the time No words can set me free A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies Leads only to goodbyes And in our silence we can tell ourselves Our fault lies in our eyes There's nothing more to say, just leave it where it lay No need to borrow, another tomorrow, and throw it all away If the summer rain comes to wash away The memories of ill-fated yesterdays I wouldn’t look for shelter, come what may Cos the seasons don’t care No falling star can guarantee a life Of happiness for me No wishful thinking can turn back the time No words can set me free A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies Leads only to goodbyes And in our silence we can tell ourselves Our fault lies in our eyes No falling star can guarantee a life Of happiness for me No wishful thinking can turn back the time No words can set me free A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies Leads only to goodbyes And in our silence we can tell ourselves Our fault lies in our eyes There’s nothing you can say, to take the pain away Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find my sorrow, is here to stay

Dear Jessie 04:27
Dear Jessie, I see you cry, lusting over some other guy Dear Jessie, what can I say, to make my feelings go away? Is there something I can do, or is there someone I can be To make you notice me? You know I’m not all that special, just too sentimental Keeping you too close to my heart If I had something to offer, would you even bother Or should I have been him from the start? But, would I still be myself, if I was somebody else? Dear Jessie, I’d take you away, from all your troubles to a brighter day If I had the chance to say how I feel, could I truly tell you what I mean? I’m not the best with words, I know, it’s one of many things that pull me down From letting my feelings show, you know You know I’m not all that special, just too sentimental Keeping you too close to my heart If I had something to offer, would you even bother Or should I have been him from the start? But would you love me for me, if there was someone else I'd rather be? Taking too much time To say where I'm wrong, where I'm falling behind I wanna know what’s there to do, to bring my heart closer to you Is it just wishful thinking, if I say that winning you Over could make everything fine? Or are you just an excuse, a special someone to lose So that I continue telling myself That I’m not all that special, just too sentimental Keeping you too close to my heart If I had something to offer, would you even bother Or should I have been him from the start? But would you love me for me, if there was someone else I'd rather be? Would I still be myself, if I was somebody else?

Till the End 05:24
When it’s cold, and there's no place I call home Keeping close to my heart, kind words from long ago I read them back, they keep me safe when I'm alone But there's so much they can do when my world’s scary and new Crying like there's no tomorrow, leaving my heart in its sorrow Ooh A bitter pill, is better than nothing, keeps me awake through winters cold Only in times like these can I understand Words of wisdom all too often told I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence, when you leave me on my own There will be more than this, more than hit or miss Is a sure a thing as getting old You were with me till the end Nothing’s changed, life doesn’t have to be that way People move in and out and some come round to stay You let me know, that there is one place I can go Where I’ll find what you gave, I have and always will Taking some and leave it for later, no need to call for a savior Ooh A bitter pill, is better than nothing, keeps me awake through winters cold Only in times like these can I understand Words of wisdom all too often told I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence, when you leave me on my own There will be more than this, more than hit or miss Is a sure a thing as getting old You were with me till the end A bitter pill, is better than nothing, keeps me awake through winters cold Only in times like these can I understand Words of wisdom all too often told I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence, when you leave me on my own There will be more than this, more than hit or miss Is a sure a thing as getting old You were with me till the end You were with me till the end You were with me till the end You were with me till the end Till the end

Traveling 15:38
Time flies fast, you can't see where you're going Take a pass, to feel your hours slowing Why the rush to catch your sunset so soon? Open up your day to take my hand and to the distance fly away Taste the clouds, floating high above you Look outside, and remember where you’ve gone to Let’s not stay in one place for too long Widen our horizons and move on Don’t keep a thought, unspoken Don’t leave your chains, unbroken We can’t give in, our lives to passing struggles As time goes by, there’s still a roof above us If there’s a time to rise and fly away, don’t leave it till another day Come get it if you can, but don’t stay Here’s our place, to cozy up till morning Wash our face, and see that we’re still glowing Keep a tiny place in your pocket for me When that time approaches, lift me up and near to your heart carry me As the world, keeps revolving So do our days and nights go on evolving Sure as the garden flowers calling bees, there’s nowhere else I'd rather be Wherever you are is home for me See those stars, they look so out of reach But don’t listen to those silly things some people teach Even if pain or sorrow may arise, beware there is another side Another desert we can make a beach, see those stars? Let’s go 5- See those clouds, that’s where our dreams are made With a hardy heart and a sturdy mind, we can pave our way to the skies Where to go next? Your will is the limit New sights to see, take it and give it New music to hear, sounds from the soul New tastes to feel, body and spirit The world may look a little big, but don’t fret, what’s in your own world solely depends on you Where do you wanna go? Who do you wanna see? What do you wanna feel? Is it a dream, or just reality? You know that it can be, sometimes hard to see So let’s go on a trip, escape reality, and try to find all there is to feel In Hawaii, and Korea, maybe Dublin, Spain and China too And Vienna, and Sapporo, and Warsaw, Kaunas and St. Petersburg If we stay there, doesn’t matter, wherever you are is home for me See those stars? Every day, you keep on shining And every night, take time to feel you tiring Feel every part of you relax and think another day has come to pass And another life awaits you in the morrow All that has come and gone, the weak and strong, the search goes on for where you belong But where you are is who you’ve come to be
