Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day
The coldness of his words The message in his silence "Face the candle to the wind..." The distance in my voice Isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day
They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret
You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day
Just let me catch my breath I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes I've had my fair share of tough breaks I need a new voice, a new law, a new way Take the time, reevaluate It's time to pick up the pieces Go back to square one I think it's time for a change
There is someting that I feel To be something that is real I feel the heat within my mind And craft new changes with my eyes Giving freely wandering promises A place with decisions I'll fashion I won't waste another breath
You can feel the waves coming on (It's time to take the time) Let them destroy you or carry you on (It's time to take the time) You're fighting the weight of the world But no one can save you this time Close your eyes You can find all you need in your mind
The unbroken spirit Obscured and disquiet Finds clearness this trial demands And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief For the fortune lies still in his hands
If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year A man must learn to cope If his obsession's real Suppression that he feels must turn to hope
Life is no more assuring than love (It's time to take the time) There are no answers from voices above (It's time to take the time) Youre fighting the weight of the world And no one can save you this time Close your eyes You can find all you need in your mind
I close my eyes And feel the water rise around me Drown the beat of time Let my senses fall away I can see mcuh clearer now I'm blind
Find all you need in your mind If you take the time
Morning comes to early and nighttime falls too late And sometimes all I want to do is wait The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I will raise a shelter to the sky And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie She will slowly yeild the light as I awaken from the longest night
Dreams are shaking Set sirens waking up tired eyes WIth the light the memories all rush into his head
By a candle stands a mirror Of his heart and soul she dances She was dancing through the night above his head
And walking to the window he throws the shutters out against the wall ANd from an ivory tower hears her call "Let light surround you"
It's been a long, long time He's had a while to think it over In the end he only sees the change Light to dark Dark to light Light to dark Dark to light
Heaven must be more than this When angels waken with a kiss Sacred hearts won't take the pain But mine will never be the same
He stands before the window His shadow slowly fading from the wall And from an ivory tower he hears her call "Let the light surround you"
Once lost but I was found When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill But I will hold this one on high above me still She whispers words to clear my mind I once could see but now at last I'm blind
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I had given all I could take And now I've only habits left to break Tonight I'll still be lying here Surrounded in all the light
Standing by the window Eyes upon the moon Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon
She shuts the doors and lights And lays her body on the bed Where images and words are running deep SHe has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
She stares at the ceiling ANd tries not to think ANd pictures the chain SHe's been trying to link again But the feeling is gone
And water can't cover her memory And ashes can't answer her pain God give me the power to take breath from a breeze And call life from a cold metal frame
In with the ashes Or up with the smoke from the fire With wings up in heaven Or here, lying in bed Palm of her hand to my head Now and forever curled in my heart And the heart of the world
There was no time for pain No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self-control
I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding
I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give
Listening to the city Whispering it's violence I set out watching from above The '90s bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down
Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life
Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind As I'm lifted from where I spilt my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live
