1.- I'll Fall

Summer dreams, drifting into autumn,
still burning strong, my body feels so numb.
I could disappear into waves that beat so steady,
as the life, words are short enough already,
I live in your joy and in your love, is total, ohh

Would you love me for all that life is worth?
As I fall deep into this heavy earth,
I live in your joy and in your love, is total, ohh
And gentleness fills your soul,
I've fallen into thee.

Come with me, here, follow me now,
When gentleness fills your soul,
I've fallen into thee.
There I'll hold you true,
With nothing else, nothing else, nothing else to give,
I'll fall, I'll fall

2.- We Dance

Another spirit, walkin' by your inspiration,
Drags me to our sense of aderation.
Full of strength, you're out of place.
Learnin' the unforced rhythm of grace.
We dance.

Little brother, lost for a lie,
You're still at peace with him.
Time has passed, memories must break you apart
But no, you're full of strength, and you're out of place.
Learnin' the unforced rhythm of grace.
We dance
We dance

Glory, your glory, I am falling down.
I can, I can, I can stand alone in your glory, your glory, and your glory
Full of strength, you're out of place.
Learnin' the unforced rhythm of grace.
We dance
We dance

Ohh, Runnin' you're so strong, and you're out of place.
Ohh, learnin' the unforced rhythm of grace.
We dance
We dance

Oh we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, learning your grace, we dance

3.- 100 Ways

This love is more than I ever asked for,
your love consumes me inside and out.
This hope is more than I ever dreamt of,
your hope takes me, mighty high and
This love, your love, this love, your love
So much more than I deserve

I'm in love with your 100 ways of sayin'
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with your 100 ways of showing me
You're in love with me

This grace is more than I've ever asked for,
your grace consumes me inside and out.
This life is more than i've ever dreamt of,
your life takes me, mighty high and
this love, your love, this love, your love
Oh, so much more than I deserve

I'm in love with your 100 ways of saying
I'm in love you
I'm in love with your 100 ways of showing me,
you're in love with me

I keep trying to prove you wrong,
I keep trying to prove it false
Every time I've tried, I've proved you wrong,
Every time I've tried, I've proved it false,

I'm in love with your 100 ways of saying,
I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with your 100 ways of showing me,
you're in love with me.
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Oh, I'm in love with you, oh
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with you

4.- April Sun

It's April and it's sunny,
It's shining on your cold, brick building.
Wanna enter through the stained glass windows,
and rob you from your fate.
Leap out into an endless field,
from a window of that building.

Maybe later, maybe tomorrow, maybe never,
will you pass that gate,
and I wonder, was I too late.
Was I a little too late?

Never spoke of him, never even whispered his name,
now I can't turn back time, I've done what I've done,
and I didn't do what I could have done, oh god, what a shame.
Now, I beg for mercy, let it shine on you, warm April sun.

I'm not expecting anybody soon,
lookin' back, your life has not begun,
and, let's spend it together, your last afternoon,
underneath this warm April sun.

It's april and it's sunny,
It's shining on your cold brick building.
Wanna enter through these stained glass windows,
and rob you from your fate.
Leap out into an endless field,
from a window of that building.

Maybe later, maybe tomorrow, maybe never,
will you pass that gate
And I'm not expecting anybody soon.
Lookin' back, your life has not begun,
and, let's spend it together, your last afternoon,
underneath this warm April sun.

Let it shine on you,
Let it shine on you,
Shine, shine on you.

5.- Funny Dreamers

Every day, still light, testing their confidence
How they long, to down, in a pool of evidence,
life begins to fade, to fade,
Moments more than life, that's what they're living for
when they wait for bliss, they are driven even more,
back to sleep, they go, they go,
back to sleep they go

a smile on their face, no darkness to erase,
and they'll sleep with their eyes open, no disgrace,
they are funny, funny, dreamers,
they are funny, funny, dreamers,
they are funny, funny, dreamers,
they are funny dreamers,

Everyday's still light, testing my confidence,
and how I long to drown in a pool of evidence,
life begins to fade, to fade,
back to sleep I go,
a smile on their face, no darkness to erase,
and they'll sleep with their eyes open, no disgrace,
Smiles on their faces, there's no darkness to erase,
and they'll sleep with their eyes open, no disgrace,

You're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're funny, funny, dreamers,
you're all funny dreamers

6.- Roshni's Song

Before you go, before you close your eyes,
hold still and bear my one last plea.
The air's still stale, I can't help my sides,
unbearable pain, from such a small little seed.

You're fallin' away right in front of my face.
I'm holdin' onto that last piece of grace,
promise I'll try not to give up this fight,
let me love you one more night.

Smiling to hide destruction inside,
I'm trembling with fear, underneath my skin.
These last few hours, I'll forget about half my pride,
and I'll show you the colors that lie deep within.

You're fallin' away right in front of my face.
I'm holdin' onto that last piece of grace,
promise I'll try not to give up this fight,
and let me love you one more night.

Well I'll stand past the hour, how much longer
will I have to stand this, test of, being much stronger,
I feel like I'm falling, falling, I'm falling, I'm falling,
I'm falling away, right in front of your face.
You're holding onto that last piece of grace,
promise I'll try not to give up this fight,
let me love you one more night.

7.- Perfectly Happy There

Looking for an answer, you slowly approach,
her eyes, they gazed past your fear of reproach.
Once again, I sense a pity, a necessary pity for her.
Don't you know that all she sees is a needless effort for a cure.
A breath that hath her soul, it finds some comfort in the air.
Let her dance, yeah, let her roll, it may seem unfair,
but she's perfectly happy there.

Mornin' shines a perfect light,
and her room lights up like gold.
Spring time brings sweet passion with a warm embrace.
A breath that hath her soul,
it finds some comfort in the air.
Let her dance, yeah, let her roll.
It's not your life to wear,
and she's perfectly happy there.

In a corner of her room lies the core of her voice.
No one ever visits her there,
no, but that may be her choice.
And, a breath that hath her soul,
it finds some comfort in the air.
Let her dance, yeah, let her roll.
It's not your life to wear.
A breath that hath her soul,
it finds some comfort in the air.
Let her dance, why don't you let her roll?
Stop being in despair 'cause she's perfectly happy there.

So happy there, yeah
Why can't you see me now, here?

8.- Your Voice

Empty spaces here are filled with hungry souls,
looking to pack life's steps and holes.
All eyes are on me, I do what I do,
I see if I am hurt, or understood by a few.
This time it'd be much different,
I'd tell myself each time.

Can my voice call the angels,
like your voice calls the angels?
Can my words sing to you,
like your words to sing to me?

A faith on my shoulders, can be too heavy to bend.
There's the exit, and I can't run past your empty stares.
This time it'd be much different,
I'd tell myself each time.

Can my voice call the angels,
like your voice calls the angels?
Can these words sing to you,
like your words sing to me?

A full house can seem so empty.
These words just fall apart.
I'm dying to be, I'm dying to be apart,
and I tell myself each time.

Can my voice call the angels,
like your voice calls the angels?
Can these words sing to you,
like your words sing to me?

Like your voice, can my voice,
like your voice, can these words,
like your words, can my voice,
like your voice

9.- Peace To

There's no one around here,
you don't have to pretend anymore.
The anger, the pain, what is it all for?
I would cry on your shoulder,
but I don't know where to begin.
Look around you, look around us,
how can we possibly win?
Oh, but his grace will come down on us,
yes, his grace, will come down on us, down on us.

Peace to his people on Earth,
and peace to your people on Earth,
and peace to his people on Earth.

Desolte people have no way home,
but this time I can't be your guide.
War, hunger, killing, and rage,
oh it's too much for this little box to hide,
but his grace will come down on us,
yes, his grace, his grace, will come down on us, down on us.

Peace to his people on Earth,
peace to your people on Earth,
peace to his people on Earth.

His grace will come down on us,
his grace, his grace, will come down on us, down on us.

Peace to his people on Earth,
peace to my people, my people, yeah,
peace to your people on Earth,
peace to my people, yeah.

His grace will come down on us,
down on us, down on us, and,
grace will come down on us,
down on us, down on us.
Peace to your people on Earth,
and peace to his people on Earth,
on Earth.

10.- Magic

Light as the burdens of Angels,
sometimes we fly just a little too low.
The smell that leads me to be,
loses its fragrance once in a while.

The center of this voice,
it echos and beats of one and two, and three,
too heavy for me,
too heavy for now.

In this lonely sky,
let your magic soar,
where the ocean replies,
gently kiss your shore.

I'm sensing the edge at my fingertips.
No one seems to be speaking a word.
Hush my little self, hush my little self.

In this lonely sky,
let your magic soar,
where the ocean replies,
gently kiss your shore.

When you pour that sweet life into me,
let it be so real.
The ground pulls out, and hangs me in space,
darkness never sees ______

In this lonely sky, let your magic soar,
where the ocean replies, gently kiss your shore.
Hold me now with your magic, your magic love, that magic
love is just like, love is just like, love is just like magic,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

11.- Bonustrack - Come Home To Me-

So many questions go unanswered.
Don't you know that dispair spreads even faster than cancer?
Who are the chosen ones who learn to love?
Then they're, then they're swept right off their feet with no warning from above.
Was it her time to fly home?

Do you say, come home to me, I missed you so?
Do you say, come home to me?
Do you say, come home to me, I've missed you so?
Do you say, come home to me?

The sky turned dark in the middle of the day.
Are those your angels to shed them away?
Was it his time to fly home?

Do you say, come home to me, I missed you so?
Do you say, come home to me?
Do you say, come home to me, I've missed you so?
'cause you sure aren't coming home to us.
Come home to me, I've missed you so.
Do you say, come home to me?
Do you say, come home to me, I've missed you so?
Do you say, come home to me, come home to me?
Ohhhh.
