Old Sunrise
05:23
|
|||
|
After all this time, I close my eyes to recall
I was blind to find what I’ve been looking for
Like an old sunrise under painted skies above
I was lost inside a fire some folks call love
And I tried to explain it but I can’t understand
It’s not complicated but I’m only a man in love, with you
I tried to forget it, it won’t leave me alone
But the world seems better when I’m falling in love with you, with you
Fall to your knees
Hear those voices sing
And all that you see
That old sunrise will come
I’m still amazed when the music plays along
I was high when I was trying to write this song
On the perfect day, when nothing stays the same
They say that love is strange in all except for change
When the whole world’s sleeping it’s a beautiful place
It all make sense when I’m lying awake with you, with you
But now the day burns steady, just a moment in time
Take me back when your heart was never too hard to find, in love with you
Fall to your knees
Hear those voices sing
And all that you see
That old sunrise will come
It goes underneath
Down below and in between
It’s all I’ll ever know
It goes underneath
Down below and in between
It’s all I’ll ever know
Fall to your knees
Hear those voices sing
And all that you see
That old sunrise will come

Paradise
04:10
|

Tell me something that I don't know
Give me nothing but love and hope
I hope I can find my paradise
And deep down under, and all I've seen
Beyond the wonders, and still I dream
I know I can make that sacrifice
And what is hopeless and what is real?
I wish I knew how I feel
I hope I can find that love inside
Give me shelter, bring me along
There's a place where we all belong
Still I wonder, where's my paradise?
And I hope I find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise
Out of the darkness, show me the way
We all get lost, we've all been astray
Hold me close and tell me everything's alright
The world keeps turning, the sun goes down
A moment of silence, the greatest sound
Still I wonder, where's my paradise?
And I hope I find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise
And the road it goes
And your soul it knows
Takes me back to where we started
When you're all alone, follow your heart of gold
They say that home is where the heart is
I wonder where the wind it blows
The reason why it blows so cold
Spent half a lifetime slowing down
But growing up is getting old
I'd rather feel at home than be alone tonight
When all the rain keep falling down
The world don't stop from spinning round
What's in your heart, it's hard to find
But getting lost is being found
I hope I can find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise
And I hope I find my paradise

I don't wanna waste my time
And I don't wanna lose sight of where I've been
And I just wanna get so high
And I don't wanna ever come down again
And the day goes so fast
And the night feels so long
I just wanna get so high
I will carry you to the other side
To another place, to another life
I'll be there for you, every day and night
Gonna bring you right back to the way of life
Maybe it won't feel the same
When you find what you're looking for
And even if the world don't change
But we keep coming back for more
So give me a sign
And show me the light
I just wanna get so high
I will carry you to the other side
To another place, to another life
I'll be there for you, every day and night
Gonna bring you right back to the way of life
The rhythm of our hearts will soon beat in time
Cause anything that's lost you know we soon will find
Even if the time it won't wait for you
Listen to your heart and watch your dreams come true
We gonna find the way to find a brighter day, today is where it’s gonna start
We don’t care about the thing they do or say, even when the world is falling apart
We won’t waste time, do what ya need to do
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
You know the things I do, you know I do it for you, yeah
I will carry you to the other side
To another place, to another life
I'll be there for you, every day and night
Gonna bring you right back to the way of life
It’s the way of life
Today is where it’s gonna start
It’s the way of life
Even when the world is falling apart
It’s the way of life
Listen to the rhythm of our hearts
It’s the way of life
Do you think about the other man
Do you got some better plans?
Couldn't see the storm even predicted by the weatherman
Going to a better place, taking it to another land
Trying to keep the world inside the palm and not an empty hand
Do you think about the other man
Do you got some better plans?
Couldn't see the storm even predicted by the weatherman
Going to a better place, taking it to another land
Trying to keep the world inside the palm and not an empty hand

Edge of the Ocean

Give me a sign that we can start over again
Let’s go for a ride, could this be where it begins?
And all this time, you held it inside somewhere
So throw me a line, we can weather the storm ‘till the end
And I run, ‘till I meet the sun
And I run, until I reach the seas
At the edge of the ocean
There’s a place to start over again
At the edge of the ocean
Holds a place, we can start over again
Follow the light, we can count on the stars to shine
Travel billions of miles, we can light up the skies tonight
All my life, you weren’t so hard to find
When the morning arrives, you’ll be standing there by my side
And I run, ‘till I meet the sun
And I run, until I reach the seas
At the edge of the ocean
There’s a place to start over again
At the edge of the ocean
Holds a place, we can start over again
Moving on, I was leaving
Will you remember me?
Can’t turn back those feelings
What will be, it will be
I found a place to live along the ocean’s edge
Can’t hold back those feelings
It’s just the way we are
It’s just the way we are
And I run, ‘till I meet the sun
And I run, ‘till I reach the seas
Won’t you go, you know I’ll be there
Don’t you know you can always count on me?
I’ll be there
Promise me, you’ll come my way, yeah
Don’t you know you can always count on me?
I’ll be there

Stepping Stones
04:13

I wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to see your face, just to see your smile
It’s been some time, it’s been a while
It’s unfamiliar but still reminds me of the greatest day that I ever saw
It was some time ago, but it still lives on
I close my eyes, it don’t last too long
There you were, now here we are
I found home, it gets easier
I found home, leave it all behind yeah
When I found love, I lost my mind
When you lose yourself, you’re not too hard to find
We can turn it back, we can press rewind
So buy me a ticket, let’s take a ride
Life is full of highs and lows
It’s a ragged course of stop and gos
Building blocks and stepping stones
I will never take the easy road again
I found home, it gets easier
I found home, leave it all behind yeah
So who I am, and who am I?
And we ask ourselves and we wonder why?
I guess I’m not too afraid of dying
I’m just afraid of living too fast a life
There’s no amount of time where you don’t exist
Of course life itself, it is the greatest gift
Your heart’s desire is my only wish
We could have it all, I will show you this
I found home, it gets easier
I found home, leave it all behind yeah
It gets easier (I found home)
It gets easier
It gets easier
It gets easier
It gets easier (I found home)
It gets easier
It gets easier (leave it all behind, yeah)
It gets easier
I will never take the easy road again

Fall into the Sun
04:16
|
|||
|
I told myself I wouldn’t wait
To wait for another day
To catch my breath, I shouldn’t say
Tell me that it’s not too late
So don’t give up, give up on me
Got to have a little faith
So don’t give up, give up on me
Baby, don’t give up on me
Promised me that you wouldn’t leave
Said that you was here to stay
In my mind I still believe, this love will always find its way
Sometimes I wish I could disappear and fall into the sun
As if I was not here, protect my thoughts and run
I won’t let go, got to have a little faith
I want you to know, got to have a little faith
When the moment arrives, keep your eye on the prize
Ain’t got no troubles tonight, I’m telling you
Put it all on the line, can’t hold it inside
I’ll be standing beside you when you need me to
Just happy to be alive, you know we all got a right
To be living the life, that we were destined to
Someday this world must be mine, so push my worries aside
I’ll be holding a smile, that’s what I’m gonna do
I won’t let go, got to have a little faith
I want you to know, got to have a little faith

The world's a dream, you said to me
The world's a dream, you said to me
It's gonna be a showdown, don't look the other way
Come a little closer, let's set the record straight
Bring your ammunition, however you choose it
When the pressure burns hot, this fire gone blaze
Some days this all feels hopeless
Never lose sight, never lose focus
I wonder why sometimes and still I know you know I know this
Feels like I found my calling
You're right back where you started
You ain't got much but what you got you've got to put it all in
The world's a dream, you said to me
An endless sea, we're forever free
The world's a dream, you said to me
All we need's a little focus
Rolling with Stick Figure when the pressure gets hot
Your finger on the trigger when you hear the gunshots
There’s trouble and there’s struggle and the hustle don't stop
We are the power of the sun
It's gonna be a showdown, don't look the other way
Come a little closer, let's set the record straight
Bring your ammunition, however you choose it
When the pressure burns hot, this fire gone blaze
I'm on my way and when I make it
You know the place in the world where the sound come from
Right where I wanna be when I wake up
Vibes and the high grade abun
I'm on a level but at the end of the day
With your badness talk, in your bad mind way
In this showdown mi see it, see them running away
Just talk straight if you have something fi say
The world's a dream, you said to me
When you smoke with we, the herbs are free
So just check the scene, so sweet and green
World on fire, mi are the gasoline
It's gonna be a showdown, don't look the other way
Come a little closer, let's set the record straight
Bring your ammunition, however you choose it
When the pressure burns hot, this fire gone blaze
It's all coming down to the wire
Some say where there's smoke there's fire
In life we all get high, and still I find we must get higher
Feels like two worlds collide
Know where to run, know where to hide
Can’t stop the fussing and fighting
Wronger than right, where there’s thunder there’s lightening
The world's a dream, you said to me
An endless sea, we're forever free
The world's a dream, you said to me
All we need's a little focus
Rolling with Stick Figure when the pressure gets hot
Your finger on the trigger when you hear the gunshots
This trouble and the struggle and the hustle don't stop
We are the power of the sun
It's gonna be a showdown
It’s gonna be a showdown, showdown
It’s gonna be a showdown
We are the power of the sun
It's gonna be a showdown, don't look the other way
Come a little closer, let's set the record straight
Bring your ammunition, however you choose it
When the pressure burns hot, this fire gone blaze
It's gonna be a showdown, don't look the other way
Come a little closer, let's set the record straight
Bring your ammunition, however you choose it
When the pressure burns hot, this fire gone blaze

It’s the soul of the world
It’s the soul of the world
It’s the soul of the world
I’ve been finding a good time
Through all the troubles that we had
When darkness take ahold of my mind
I know it’s all inside my head
It’s the soul of the world
I’ve been trying to find a good time
Four corners of the world
All I’ve found is love
It’s a mystery to myself
Maybe it’s all just make believe
All I’ve ever know it myself
You won’t get the best of me
It’s the soul of the world
I’ve been trying to find a good time
Four corners of the world
All I’ve found is love
Where do we go when we leave from here?
We will not know ‘till we disappear
Nobody don’t know, no
Where do we go when we leave from here?
It’s the soul of the world
I’ve been trying to find a good time
Four corners of the world
All I’ve found is love
It’s the soul of the world (you know I’ve found it)
It’s the soul of the world (you know I need it)
It’s the soul of the world (world)
All I’ve found is love
You know I’ve found it
You know I need it
You know I’ve found it

Smoke Signals

I’ve been traveling on and on, saying my goodbyes to the world
Do my best soon I’ll be gone, don’t know when I’ll return
Some may say I’ve run away, oh the tales they tell
I hope I come back someday, for now goodbye, farewell
The more I see, the less I really know
Feel earth beneath my feet, this place to call my home
The more I see, the less I really know
Feel earth beneath my feet, this place to call my home
I’ve been holding on and on to stories I believe
Wonder why I don’t belong? But it don’t bother me
Some may claim that I have changed, oh the tides they turned
All these rains have washed away, through these eyes I’ve learned
The more I see, the less I really know
Feel earth beneath my feet, this place to call my home
The more I see, the less I really know
Feel earth beneath my feet, this place to call my home
It’s a long way to go, it’s been a hard road to leave
I wish I would’ve known, why’s it so hard to see?
Spend all my time alone, when all I got is me
The only thing I know, is where I wanna be
I got your message on the phone today, said I won’t be coming around no more
I could never find the words to say, I won’t say no more
I got your message on the phone today, said I won’t be hanging around no more
I could never find the words to say, I won’t say no more
(say no more)
(say no more)
(say no more)
(say no more)

(say no more)
(say no more)

Under the moon, follow the light
Rub-a-dub music, day and night
Step to the left, move to the right
Light up the herbs, fill up the pipe
This the reality, that’s just life
Blowing it up like dynamite
What’s understood, it’s undefined
Don’t know why but I just get high
This the type of music make the sound boy running
Play it on the sound system, old school
This is reggae music, got the whole world humming
Play it on the sound system, old school
Over the ocean and over the seas
Stronger the winds, the stronger the trees
Higher than the mountain, thicker than thieves
When you get locked up, yeah we’re gonna break free
Everybody put your hands up
Nobody move it’s a robbery
1, 2, 3, smoking these trees
Get up, get up, get high with me
This the type of music make the sound boy running
Play it on the sound system, old school
This is reggae music, got the whole world humming
Play it on the sound system, old school

Satisfaction Feeling
04:18

Back at the beginning reminiscing about the days of old
Lying in your bed again, remember when you said don’t go?
It feels so nice to love someone she said
I got to make you feel that way again
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
You know not what you need to believe, let’s not pretend
And when you’re looking back to the past, let’s not forget
I don’t care too much for loneliness
You bet I know, I’m not the only one
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
You dance up on the water, pull a hold up on the sun
You’re trying to make a living, but you’re living up on the run
You say you want to shine through all of the things you’ve done
I guess you’re high and low
I cry out I don’t need you and I pray that I am right
You don’t bother me in the morning, you just call on me at night
You’re creeping through the darkness you speaking through your light
I guess we’re not alone
In times of trouble you know that I love you
Through all we have, and all that we’ve been through
In times of trouble you know that I love you
I guess we’re not alone
In times of trouble you know that I love you
Through all we have, through all that we’ve been through
In times of trouble you know that I love you
I guess we’re not alone
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
Give me some love, satisfaction feeling
Give me some good good love, satisfaction feeling

It’s been awhile, still smile like the sun
Laugh along just because all the things that we’ve done
And we do what’s good for the soul
And everyone knows, that I’ve got you
It really doesn’t matter but I wouldn’t have it any other way
So come along while I strum my guitar
Standing right where you are, take me back to the start
And who are you waiting there for?
I feel like we’ve been here before, I’ve got you
It really doesn’t matter but I wouldn’t have it any other way
I wanna get higher, higher, higher
Back at the beginning, but somehow it feels the same
There’s money in my pocket but I still ain’t gonna change
Do it everyday, wanna make it right
Nothing is forever but we always gonna try to get higher, higher, higher
I can still remember when it felt like yesterday
Think we’re getting closer, but it seems so far away
It’s all we ever do, day it turns to night
Things are always better but we always gonna try to get higher, higher, higher
I wanna get higher, higher, higher
When love is all you need
For people that you meet
The more you got to give, the more you shall receive
There’s always been a way to find a way to say
We’re not doing it for tomorrow, we’re living for today
I got a feeling everything will be just fine
There’s a fire, watch it burnin’
Yes it’s hotter than the sun
Holding on to someone that you know might be the one
We know not where we’re going, not until this day is done
We keep the music rocking cause you know we always want to get higher, higher, higher
We wanna get higher, higher, higher
It really doesn’t matter but I wouldn’t have it any other way

You say you wanna live a life you’ve never tried
All you gots to give to find that state of mind
Dark clouds around me, but they’re just passing by
Cause I wanna live, I wanna be free
Free, under the falling stars
I wanna be free, in the heart of it all
Free, under the mystic moon
I wanna be free, cause I’ll be home soon
I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
I try not to notice, push my thoughts aside
Focus on the moment, and all we’ve got is time
I wish I had the answers but I’m still satisfied
Cause I wanna live, I wanna be free
Free, under the falling stars
I wanna be free, in the heart of it all
Free, under the mystic moon
I wanna be free, cause I’ll be home soon
I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
One day we’ll all be home
One day we’ll all be free
Some say it’s in your heart
Some say it’s just a dream
Love is trying to find you, so hold your head up high
It’s alright, it’s alright
Free, under the falling stars
I wanna be free, in the heart of it all
Free, under the mystic moon
I wanna be free, cause I’ll be home soon
I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
Cause I’ll be home soon
I wanna live
Cause I wanna live
I wanna live, live free

Both my wife and I enjoy Rebelution's albums, this one is no different. However, many songs do feel a bit like more of the same. It's good but not surprising.
