In the Light 02:27
Dreams are in the sky
 They are everywhere
 So hold me close 
I’m going there

 To another time
 Where the world is free
 I can see me becoming more me 
And I can finally see
 My feet are strong
 And my heart is light 
I can’t give up now
 Cause I’ve crossed the night 
I’m in the light 

I haven’t forgotten who set me free 
It’s easy to love, easy if you need

 So open up your heart
 Remember how it feels 
To treat yourself real
 To treat yourself healed 
My feet are strong
 And my heart is light 
I can’t give up now
 Cause I’ve crossed the night 
I’m in the light

Gotten Lazy 02:46
I’ve gotten lazy with my feelings
 Let my gardens overgrow
 Told myself that I’m the ocean 
But I’m really just the shore 

I’ve gotten lazy with heart 
And let it pump less than it should
 Now I’m feeding it a frenzy
 To make sure that its overworked

 These things are going
 These things are growing
 These things are going
 Under my feet 
I’ve gotten lazy with my problems
 And I let them control me
 Didn’t take steps to solve them
 Or look down at my two feet 

I’ve gotten lazy with my family
 And I let them slip away 
Gotten lazy with my love
 And let it all go down to waste
 To waste 

These things are going
 These things are growing 
These things are going


3.
Hold My Hand 02:52
Hold my hand for a while 
Hold my hand for a while 
I got a feeling
I got a feeling

 Life’s about the fire
 Life’s about the fire
 The beauty lies in when we’re breathing 
In when we’re breathing

 So follow your desire
 Follow your desire 
Follow your desire 
Follow your desire

 Oh be yourself
 Cause no one else
 Can do what you can do 
 What you can do

 Oh be yourself
 Cause no one else
 Can prove yourself to you 
Yourself to you

 So follow your desire
 Follow your desire 
Follow your desire
 Follow your desire

 Let your rivers flow 
Cause don’t you know what you’re perceiving 
And when it's time to go 
Don’t you know you’ll know 
 Where the right path is leading? 
Cause you are you 
 And you can choose
 What you want to do

Hey C'Mon 03:08
Hey c’mon 
Leave me be 
Not everything is easy and free Not everything is acquired easily 
We gotta work, work, work 
Like the honeybee

 Oh, oh, oh, oh
 Woah, oh, oh, oh

 And hey yo, let me go
 Sometimes I just can’t do it no more
 And I ain’t quittin’ or walkin’ out the door
 I’m tellin’ you mister so I can grow 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Woah, oh, oh, oh

 And hello, goodbye
 Times up I got to fly
 Time is tickin’ 
It keeps us high and dry 
If we ain’t beginning 
It won’t compromise

 Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Woah, oh, oh, oh

I need a home for my heart
 My love is an art
 Needs it’s time to grow 

I need a home for my heart
 My love is an art
 Needs it’s time to grow

 So water my soul, dear
 Yeah water my soul, dear
 Needs it’s time to grow 

I need a heart for my home
 Somewhere you can rest easy 
And we can be breezy
 Let the day pass us by
 And we’ll open our skin
 Let each other in 
Let us make us feel welcome 

 So water my soul, dear
 Yeah water my soul, dear
 Needs it’s time to grow

 So water my soul, dear
 Yeah, water my soul, dear
 Needs it’s time to grow

Everything goes When you’re right on time 
Can you feel the fire
 When it’s burning in your mind? 
I’m feeling cooler
 Like the breeze took me away
 Ain’t nowhere to go babe
 But ain’t nowhere to stay
 But ain’t nowhere to stay

 Shake it up higher 
 Want the heavens to know I’m here 
I gotta try harder
 To walk past my fear
 And with my dreams approaching 
I ain’t ever looked back
 The world is still turning 
But the future’s in my grasp 

I’ve gotta dig deeper 
To feel all the feelings 
Gotta try harder
 To walk past the ceilings
 Gotta light the fire
 When the winter’s too cold
 Gotta let the leaves fall
 When they’re too hard to hold


7.
Going through my head 
I have been here before 
A heart unbroken 
And a world still unborn
 To touch the soul 
I feel the breeze 
Calm your mind 
 And peace follows me

 Cause landing is a riddle 
And the sea laughs at me
 And nothing is incapable
 And the trees help us breathe

 Calm understanding
 Love unbound and true 
Our bonds are never broken
 Our hearts are never blue
 Sensing a solution
 Born from the hands of time
 The dawn lights our perception
In the workings of our mind 

Cause you are fire 
Light up when I look at you
 Unbound by your desires
 You lead your path to the truth

 Dreaming up a mountain
 Trying more than survive
 We find the answers in the jungle
 Where everything’s alive

Pieces 01:50
Come again 
Pick the pieces of my heart now, baby
 Come again 
Pick the pieces of my heart now, baby

 I’m gunna find you 
 You’re gunna find me
 Pick the pieces of my heart now, baby

 Come again
 Pick the pieces of my mind now, baby
 Come again 
Pick the pieces of my mind now, baby 

I’m gunna find you 
You’re gunna find me 
I’m gunna find you 
Finding me
 Pick the pieces of my heart now, baby 

I’m gunna find you (find you)
 You’re gunna find me (find me)
 I’m gunna find you (find you)
 Finding me (finding me)
 Pick the pieces of my mind now, baby
 Come again 
Pick the pieces of my mind now, baby

And so it seems the shades of grey
 Have finally faded away 
And I’ve got nothing left to contemplate 
Just open my eyes and I look at the day
 The ocean’s wide but it starts at the bay

 Yah-hey

 Oh momma, my sweet momma
 Relax your little heart 
Let the wind pull you now 
Let it tell you where to start 
Oh momma, my sweet momma
 Relax your little soul 
Let the wind pull you now
 Let it tell you where to go

 Woah-ho

 Now we don’t know where the slowly fading time it goes 
But all that matters are the matters of the soul
 So forget your lust which will turn to dust 
And bring your mind back home 
Bring your mind back home 

Woah-ho 
 Oh, honey, my sweet honey
 So pure and true
 Teach me to be sweet and slow like you
 Oh, honey, my sweet honey
 So pure and true
 Teach me to be yeah, sweet and slow like you

 Woah-ho

 And so it seems the shades of grey 
Have finally faded away 
 And I got nothing left to contemplate
 Just open my eyes and I look at the day
 The ocean’s wide but it starts at the bay
 The ocean’s wide but it starts at the bay
