Once in a Lifetime
05:40
|
|||
I’ve been around long enough to know
I’ve heard the story told
I’ve seen this life unfold
I heard a sound, a voice I don’t recall
A stranger I don’t know
My back against the wall
I’m done running away
I’m coming, I will escape
Take me away
This place is never the same
Never the same
This is once in a lifetime
I’ve been running in circles
I’ve been chasing the sun
I guess I’m looking for something
But I just don’t know what
Everything has a purpose
Everyone has their doubts
Why’s it feel so uncertain
Why you running around?
It ain’t easy, leave it up to me
A perfect place to be
A perfect place to be
I’m done running away
I’m coming, I will escape
Take me away
This place is never the same
Never the same
This is once in a lifetime
Something’s happening, this feeling’s setting in
I refuse to give in, hold on, hold on
There’s a vibe in the air, when the truth comes clear
You can find it here, hold on, hold on
I’m done running away
I’m coming, I will escape
Take me away
This place is never the same
Never the same
This is once in a lifetime
Yeah but I’m done running away
It’s something I can’t explain
Ready for change
You know that I can’t stay
It’s never the same
This is once in a lifetime

If I had all the money in the world
I’d probably burn it all
If I had all the riches in the world
I’d surely burn it all
One in a million, money gonna kill a man
Why must we lose control?
Blaze up a fire storm, the people getting higher from
The smoke of another man’s gold
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
It was me, I set the world on fire
If I could rule the world
You know I’d love you all
If a smile could save the world
You know I’d heal you all
Burn like a wildfire, lighting up the night sky
Love is not never enough
Maybe in another life, I’ll see them on the other side
The people them all singing about love
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
It was me, I set the world on fire
Who wants control over everything?
If money steals your soul then only trouble it will bring
Loving as a whole, only thing that conquers we
So let it be told, let the world them sing
Who got a light? you put them light up to them herbs
We can smoke and get more higher when your mind it gets disturbed
We can set the world on fire and then watch as it all burns
Or light it up and pass it, smoking all be taking turns
Don’t ever need no money, don't need silver don't need gold
Only thing them ever wanted is some herbs that they can hold
If the only thing you loves the kind of green that you can fold
We can set it all on fire, let the fire fill your soul
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
It was me, I set the world on fire

Angels Above Me
04:26
|
|||
Run run river, carry me home to the ocean
The river and the road, take me home to the ocean
The friends in my life like stars in the sky, leave the lights on
I’m trying to get back home, the river keeps on flowing to the ocean
The angels above me they sing that they love me oh lord
I’m traveling alone, so far from home and love
Oh the angels, angels please don’t leave
I’m trying to get to her with the love she deserves lord please
I’ve been playing my guitar laying underneath the stars for you
In the light of the moon I’ll be forever singing tunes for you
When the stars are aligned like the colors in your eyes, greens and blues
It’s not when or whether, we’ll always be together, it’s true
The angels above me they sing that they love me oh lord
I’m traveling alone, so far from home and love
Oh the angels, angels please don’t leave
I’m trying to get to her with the love she deserves lord please
And sometimes I feel like my heart’s gonna burst at the seams
And sometimes I think it’s just love that we want, or we need
And sometimes I feel like I’m living too much in my dreams
And sometimes, oh lord, let me be, let me be
Are you feeling like I’m feeling?
Searching for the meaning of it all
I spend all my days trying to make some sense of it all
The ocean and the seas and the windblown trees are changing
And your love for me is all I need to keep believing
The angels above me they sing that they love me oh lord
I’m traveling alone, so far from home and love
Oh the angels, angels please don’t leave
I’m trying to get to her with the love she deserves lord please
Oh please
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

Shine
04:29
|
|||
Force my feet to keep on moving
Sounds so sweet when the beat starts grooving
Time flies by, but life is such
I’ve been thinking that I drink too much
I hold my breath but I’m still breathing
Life or death, it never come too easy
Bide my time till the well runs dry
I let the sun rays turn a dark soul bright
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine
They said everything will be just fine
I give my best and I give my all
Feel like everything’s all my fault
Time stands still, but the clock keeps spinning
I close my eyes and get lost for a minute
The words and the tears, they have long dried up
I think I thought that I’d had enough
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
Had a dream I was flying
That’s where I go when I want to be free
All this time I’ve been trying
To escape to the place where I belong
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun

All for You
04:26
|
|||
As long as I can remember
So long ago
It feels like time is forever
When you’re on your own
I didn’t know I was lost
But now our paths have crossed
These eyes have fallen
I do it all, I do it all for you
I do it all, I do it all for you
This beating heart’s been sleeping
The stars are always awake
Wake me up I’m still dreaming
And show me the way
I didn’t know what to believe
Now it’s clear as can be
For here I am I’ve been calling
I do it all, I do it all for you
I do it all, I do it all for you
All for you
All for you
All for you
I do it all, I do it all for you

Above the Storm
04:54
|
|||
Have you ever felt the light of the moon?
Have you ever tried to scream in silence?
Never looked back, no use
All I ever wanted was to live on an island
Never let a good man down
Have you ever seen a sad man smiling?
I never understood this world
All I really want is to live it up, live it up now.
Live it up, live it up now
Above the Storm
Live it up, live it up now
Have you ever seen a break in the cloud?
The rain’s falling down but the sunshine’s shining
Do you ever get lost in the sound?
Turn it up loud, but the sound keeps dying
I wonder where you go when you die?
It’s a mystery but I think our soul starts flying
I don’t want to wait so long
All you got to do is live it up, live it up now
Live it up, live it up now
Above the Storm
Live it up, live it up now
Close your eyes for a moment,
Focus on the air that you breathe
Think good thoughts and now hold them,
Now you slip into a dream.
And now you slip away to another place
Above the storms and rain,
You’re miles away, you’re miles away
If you’re just now waking up,
I want to send you all some love
And I do it just because
I’ll find a way
Just like a tale as old as time
We’ve been having a good time
Paint the story of a life
Get high with me
I’ve been holding on for years
I’ve been facing all these fears
I’m not afraid
So when you put your head to rest
Man I wish you all the best
For this life we have been blessed
I could die today, give thanks and praise

Follow in the footsteps of a man who understands
He’s got the whole world figured out the truth is in his hands
The best days are yesterdays, I hope you understand
One day we’ll all be leaving when our soul is moving on
We take with us our melodies and all the songs we’ve sung
All that’s left is memories, when the day is done
Accept me for who I am, whatever I’ve done
Who knows where I’ve been, I know where I’m from
Forgive me for what’s been said, tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
All the words of yesterday keep running through my head
A half pint of whiskey I drink laying in my bed
I probably should be sleeping but I’ll be daydreaming instead
They say it’s almost over but the story just begun
The best of times remind us we’re forever on the run
This love will always find us
We’re just tears of the sun
Accept me for who I am, whatever I’ve done
Who knows where I’ve been
I know where I’m from
Forgive me for what’s been said, tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Smoking makes the sun come up
Whiskey makes the sun go down
And in between all the little things that don’t mean much
We do a lot of standing around
Smoking makes the sun come up (come up)
Whiskey makes the sun go down
And in between all the little things that don’t mean much
We do a lot of standing around
Smoking makes the sun come up
Whiskey makes the sun go down
And in between all the little things that don’t mean much
We do a lot of standing around
Smoking makes the sun come up
Whiskey makes the sun go down
And in between all the little things that don’t mean much
We do a lot of standing around
A lot of standing around
A lot of standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
Standing around
Standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
You got me standing around
Standing around
Standing around
Standing around
Smoking makes the sun come up

Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
All I need is sunshine, all I need is you
We’re here to have a good time, that’s what we’re gonna do
So come with me, come with me
Follow in the shadow, been walking in my shoes
Nothing else matters, when I’m alone with you
I feel so free, so free
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
To the top of the world, from the bottom of the sea
The people always asking, but I won’t change a thing
No not me, I still believe
Well every step is lasting, step into the sun
Do what makes you happy, that’s the number one
It’s all you need, All you need
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
Yeah the summertime is coming
And it’s about to slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Who feels it knows it
You can laugh, you can sing
You can make your life a dream
You can pray, you’ve been saying
You’ve been waiting for the day
We’re in an isolated sun without a glimpse of hope
Dark long days, yeah they come and they go
One dips, one trips, one cashes in his chips
One cries, one will hide, one submits to his demise
But another, he makes daybreak out of night
Sings a summer tune, and feels quite alright
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Looking for a better day
Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it

Easy Runaway
03:45
|

It's like this song was already written
Let’s sit back, relax and have a listen
Listen to the message
No time for second guessing
Life it is a blessing
Don’t focus on what's missing
When you're stressed out take a deep breath
I hope that you can see it
The world needs people like you
You're here to make a difference
Go on and make a change, step into the rain
And I believe in you and someday we will meet again
I'm a hundred million miles from where I thought I was
I'm starting to become the person that I knew I could
So here I am, here I stand I'm becoming a better man
The man upstairs has his plan, so understand it’s all written
It is alright
I got to make it alright
It's so easy, easy
It's gonna be alright, alright
It's so easy, easy
You’ve got to make it alright
Said I got to make it alright
So your soul it has awoken
Singing the songs and the words that have been spoken
Put your mind at ease with this melody
Love don't cost you nothing, so set your loving free
So your world it has been shaken
Your heart it has been breaking
Ask what more can I do
But the answer's deep inside you
So look and you shall find
Leave the past behind
Have a little faith, everything will be just fine
When I look up to the sky I see no broken dreams
I see an angel in the sky who's smiling down on me
She says hello, even though I might find myself alone
She gives me love, gives me hope
When I'm lost she takes me home
It's alright
Said I got to make it alright
It's so easy, easy
It's gonna be alright, alright
It's so easy, easy
It's gonna be alright
You've got to make it alright
Take it, take it easy
Come on baby take it easy
Come on take it easy
Come on baby take it easy, yeah
Everything will be just fine

The Great Unknown
03:44
|
|||
It’s he who knows, he knows not what he needs
The west winds blow, yes they’re blowing with the breeze
Some people never know, know not what to believe in
The great unknown
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
Hear the sound of my voice and the words that I’m saying
Like I never had a choice and it was destiny again
Satisfy my soul, fulfill my fantasy now
We’ve come so far along
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
Stay a little bit longer
We got nowhere to go
Come a little bit closer
You’re riding on the path that you choose
And you live and you learn
And you laugh till it hurts
Music is the only escape
And you smile and you cry till it burns deep inside you
This song is here to take you away
Let’s get a little bit higher
Let out all your worries and fears
We get a little bit wiser
I’ve got something to share
Here’s a word from the wise
There’s no truth in a lie
Time means nothing at all
We’ll add fuel to the fire, till we burn with desire
We’re all looking for something special
Look at this life, and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special

Rise and Fall
03:37
|

I coulda saw it coming, but the voices in my head they won’t stop
I’ve been running and I’m running and I’m running but they can’t catch up
I’ve been holding onto everything but everything is never enough
I feel the warning shot, I feel the bass drop
But this music never stops
Oh, lift us up
Feed my soul
I don’t belong here
And all our time is up
It’s time to go
Rise and fall
I believe that there’s a reason for these feelings that we’re feeling, they’re so strong
Yeah but leaving’s never easy when the reasons I’ve been giving feel so wrong
I’ve been traveling the road, but the roads are only taking us so far
I feel the warning shot, I feel the bass drop
But this music never stops
Oh, lift us up
Feed my soul
I don’t belong here
And all our time is up
It’s time to go
Rise and fall
I coulda saw it coming, but the voices in my head, they won’t stop
I’ve been running and I’m running and I’m running but they can’t catch up
I’ve been holding onto everything but everything is never enough
I feel the warning shot, I feel the bass drop
But this music never stops
Oh, lift us up
Feed my soul
I don’t belong here
And all our time is up
It’s time to go
Rise and fall

Life is a Party
04:00
|

Turn it up just a little bit
Life is only what you make of it
Give it up, give it everything
Take me to the place that I’ve never been
In this land of pleasure
Don’t let life pass you by
And in the early morning summer
This love you can’t deny
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
So you wanna catch a feeling
Are you feeling like I’m feeling?
Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens for a reason
You can bet, I remember what you said when we met
I won’t let my regrets hold me back, keep me down
And by now, it’s getting loud
We’re surrounded by the sound
Welcome to my world, step into this party
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Oh, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party
Yeah, life is a party

Welcome to the Sun
04:41
|
|||
I’ve been waking up at sunrise
Awoken from the light that’s been coming through my window
We all gotta make sacrifices,
But no one really knows, we don’t know not what your going through
There’s something special about the break of dawn
When it’s early in the morning, the rising of a new day
So I make a cup of coffee
I'll be gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
Gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
No pain, no sorrow
Yesterday was yesterday
I'll be gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
Welcome to the sun
Take a trip to the other side
See the people getting high
It's all good, no evil
I once died in another life
But now I’m back on earth,
Making music for the people
You won’t know if you never try
Try to live a life, but the world keeps calling
Spend your time travel far and wide
I'll be gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
Gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
No pain, no sorrow
Yesterday was yesterday
I'll be gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
Welcome to the sun
I, I wanna get high tonight
I, don’t want to be alone tonight
I, I want to get down with you tonight
Oh I, I'll be gone till tomorrow,
Yesterday was yesterday
Yesterday was yesterday
Yesterday was yesterday
Yesterday was yesterday
Yesterday was yesterday

Burn the Night
05:17
|

Ignite the flame you light the fire
Spark the change in my heart’s desire
The sun is shining on my face from miles away
All my days they’ve been getting brighter
Outside the walls these thoughts are broken
Try to live a life, live a life wide open
Take what you want give the rest away, but some may say
The world’s a stage, I just want to play
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Let the music play
Step outside and get a feel for the night
How can it be so wrong when it feels so right
And that’s alright, it’s alright with me, I can’t wait
All along this was meant to be
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Let the music play
Step off the stage, through the fog and the haze I found you
Maybe it’s crazy, but I’m still crazy for you
Surrounded by strangers, unfamiliar faces and you
You grow from the pain and the changes, let your light shine through
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Burn the night away
Let the music play
