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

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

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

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

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

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

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
