Fighting Gravity

A walk in the sun
Is all the redemption I can offer to you my friend
So let the broken hearts stand
Your heaven's waiting down
Down around the river's bend
Where I won't break and

I'm not sure the world is waiting for me
But I think that I can wait for you
And I can't sing this alibi forever
But I can sing a love song to you

Maybe in a dream I'll find out just who I am
So let this broken heart land

The innocence is over and you're all alone in me

Is there any greater fear today than that of thinking
So let the broken understand

(Lyrics, Music: Peterson)
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Seen so many things slip away from me
Stumbled home and cut my chin along the way
Lately I can't get your voice out of my head
Silly things you used to say to me
Like why does life go by so fast and days just creep along
Can I open up my expectations long enough
to write this song, to look inside
to open my hand
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
If a mountain follows a shooting star into the sea
If a stranger leads you down another road
Let it be my voice that warms you in the night
Silly prayers on my wings to you
So dance around the sun until I take my weakest breath
In all that I embrace watch over me, surround my face with love, love,
love
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
Carry me down to the water
Carry me into the sound
Carry me down to the water
And I'll sleep with you under the ground
under the ground
under the ground
So dance around the sun until I take my weakest breath
In all that I embrace watch over me, surround my face with love, love,
love
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
You got to come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright

A younger man was he
Put us on his knee
And told us stories
Of princes and dragons
The minstrel played our song
And we all sang along
And everything he told us
Was shining in our hearts

We will not be forgotten
Listen close for the spirit is moving

The tale continues on
The prince has found his throne
And sparks the ground with fireflies
He looks into the sky
He never wonders why
The blood will flow but never dry

We will not be forgotten no
Listen close for the spirit is moving
Along this lonely road back to my heart

The king removes his cloak
Youth his only hope
Touching the joining lips of love
At eventide hoping to understand

Walk along a faded path of memories
Tears fall for you
I'll never go a day without you on my mind
And all that we've been through
It's all been written in the pyramids

Today you can turn to me
And I'll lay my hands on the edge for you
Today I'll trade my heart
For the sound of what we could be

Sacrificies made by the two of us
Wasted time wasted years
I'll always light a candle for tomorrow
I'll be right here
It's all been written in the pyramids

We're on our way with nothing between us

(Lyrics, Music: Peterson, Triano)
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe 3 a.m., I will recall the sound
of the little ones so quiet as you turned to make your way back home
Everybody wondered, everybody here decided
Maybe if the rains had come to wash my face I'd be okay, but then,
(Refrain)
I heard the mission bells calling out your name again
I wondered what could be owing to that thought again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe 5 a.m., a stone will fall and you
will see the morning sun so bright as you turn to face the only star
Everybody called out, everybody held together
Maybe if the thought of you would disappear I'd be okay, but then,
(Refrain)
All I want is a shoulder to lean on me, all I need is a friend
All I want is for someone to feel like me 'cause I don't feel like a
friend
Could be tonight, maybe tomorrow, can I once again try and recall the
sound
of the universe so quiet in the autumn of our innocence
Everybody wondered, everybody understood
If only I could get to where I am for once I'd be okay, but then
(Refrain)

I can't love your fallen heroes
Faces lost to hands of stone
Staring at the past forever
Silent naked and alone
And then sun won't relax
Until I cast away
The tears you lean on

Walk into my eyes and see the world
That's all around you again
Walk into my eyes and see the world
That's going down in the end

I can't listen to your promise
On the ground to catch my feet
It will echo in this empty common
Make me feel so incomplete

I can't listen to your questions
Or the answers that you keep
Watch me stare into the distance
I've got to find what I believe

Three days on the road to anywhere
Did I hear you call
And in the average hello
You lost your way
Did I hear you fall
Cut down from behind at best
A simple word that lingered in the air
Somewhere you wandered off into the night
And broke all your promises there

I'm a flood, I'm a waterfall
Never to disappear in the sea

Bless my head I think I said
With a reason to believe that a voice again
And though the words keep falling to the ground
They make no sound until you're gone
And then they scream

Sleep tonight this pain I'll never feel
Sleep tonight in here it's not so real
Sleep tonight this flame will touch much soul
Sleep tonight this flame will never go away

Pardon me if I seem a little distant
You could always read my eyes
I guess it doesn't take the wisdom of the ages
Or a crystal ball to see this disguise

(Lyrics, Music: Triano, Peterson, Leitch)
I wake to a voice comforting saying "hey you, you're ok, ok, ok"
and I feel alright
Should I feel this way?
Knowing that it's difficult being me knowing you
knowing what I know, I know, I know
She comes 'round, I grasp her hand, I say "hey you, you're ok, ok, ok"
and she feels alright
Should she feel this way?
Knowing that it's difficult being her knowing me
knowing what she knows, she knows, she knows, and
(Refrain)
All I've seen are lost in the rain
All I've seen are lost in the rain
All I've seen are lost in the rain
and the rain falls down on me
The child rises, fire eye, we never stop to wonder why, oh why, oh why,
oh why
She cries all night
Should she feel this way?
Knowing that it's difficult being her knowing me
knowing what she knows, she knows, she knows, and
(Refrain)
And we all go forward
reaching the place we can
Am I there? Is she there? Where are we?
We can reach together
We can reach together
We can reach together
We can reach
We pass through each other silently together saying we're ok, ok, ok
and we feel alright
Should we feel this way?
Knowing that it's difficult being me knowing you
Knowing what we know, we know, we know, and
(Refrain)

If I showed you everything I hold dear
I won't fear the pain of losing you
And if I lock it all inside
Would you run would you turn away
From all that's here

I will follow you until the water falls
Into a sea of green
It's about you, it's about you

If I give you diamond rings
A bird that sings
In every key the words
I move with you
And if I locked it all inside
Would you run would you turn away
From all I do

And in this life there's no one but me for you
And in this life there's no one but you for me
You're all I see, and I can see
