My river of questions has dried up The ocean of thoughts in my head has frozen Am I making any sense? Am I making any sense at all? You’re enough to melt a heart of stone My chest compressed inside a cage of bone The elastic snaps and it unravels I have just begun to thaw My life had become stale and stagnant Your heart is open and so free Will I let it shake mine? Will I let it break mine today? Horizon is no longer straight How could something that’s so very small shift me? You’ve opened up a different road You’ve opened up a different road for me

Magic 04:03
Sometimes they see the magic in ... their lives Where it comes from they don’t know Sometimes they hear his voice inside ... their heads Where it comes from they don’t know What do I say? What do I say to them? Sometimes I wish that I would see you here Cause I know where you are from And I know what you have done Sometimes I wish that I could hear your voice Sometimes I wish that I would stop running You’re inside me but I’m scared You would change me if I let you
3.
We thought it would be easier But have I failed you I thought that words would flow out But they’re stuck inside me You thought that strength was given But we did not find it So here we are Where life has taken us So here we are Where we have drifted Now that we’ve realised what we’d become Now that we’ve realised who we were We wanna break free, break free We wanna break free, break free

Oma 03:05
Was she an angel? How many did she touch? She’ll be remembered Cause she reflected you Her joy was on show Selfless in life, selfless in death Her joy came from you Was she an angel? Unknown to me She was sleeping in Kingston Now she’s fallen asleep Was she an angel? Carried to heaven Brown sugar, Sjoelen She’ll be missed by me Oma Selfless in life Oma Selfless in death

Lie 04:25
I don’t want to live If you can’t trust my words I am wrecked by guilt When I lie to you I drive a hole in your heart I said I’d fight for you I will but I lost this time I wish I was what you need I hope you still know Cause I’m gonna prove That you mean all to me That you mean all to me
6.
Everything that I do well Is tainted by the things that I do wrong I can never do enough I can never ask If you will imitate the things I do Cause I am not strong enough My little man You are watching me My little boy Shut your eyes My life has not been admirable My heart has not been pure it’s full of holes I’ll never be enough alone
7.
It hurt me to see It hurt me to see you in that light Cause you have so much love Now that you’re free Now that you’re free I’m sorry I wasn’t there Cause I think I slowed you down
8.
You fell into my life like water in a drought Opened up my eyes to see what this could be I wish that this could show how much you mean to me There’s nothing in our way and you are worth a fight Your heart is opened up I hope I treat you right There’s so much beauty there I’m scared of wasting it I know I don’t deserve I know I don’t deserve you Your love is like the sun breaking through the clouds This thunderstorm won’t last while you are still around Your heart set me free from stale stability Your love makes me safe from harsh fragility
9.
Victory 02:37
I need this victory in my life I need to feel free from this strife Cause there’s more, yeh there’s more That you need to change Cause there’s more, yeh there’s more That you need from me I’d like to see the fruit of your work For this life to be more than talk Cause I’m weak, yeah I’m weak But I don’t have to be We’ve won the war Now win this fight
10.
Worn Out 02:37
I’m worn out I’m worn out I’m sick of waiting for me To get it right I wish I was I wish I was What you wanted me for I’m scared I’m not I’ll move forward I’ll move forward I need to know which way I’m Facing now I’m sick of making the same mistakes
