Greg Laswell - "Comes And Goes."

This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, I....

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They are only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try.

The Divine Comedy - "Death Of A Supernaturalist."

See my solitude
Where once was truth now only doubt
Touch my tortured skin
Torn from within and from without

Kiss my blistered lips
My fingertips frost-bitten and grey
Heal my wound within
And watch the dead skin fall away

See what can’t be seen
Between the table and the chair
Touch what can’t be touched
The National Trust don’t own the air

Kiss what can’t be kissed
This is the risk we have to take
Heal what can’t be healed
And feel the dead skin fall away

Only you and I know exactly how it feels
To unblinker a narrow mind
And by doing so reveal the obscurity of life
The intensity of dreams
Only you and I have realised exactly what it means

See the infant sun
Whose time has come to climb the mist
Touch the autumn sky
Burned by the supernaturalist

Kiss the purest lips
The morning slips into the day
Rising from the bed
We feel our dead skin fall away.

Metallica - "Wherever I May Roam."

(And the road becomes my bride)

And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

(And the earth becomes my throne)

And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
Yeah, you wi-i-i-ill

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
heh-yeah

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
That's right

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam,
Yeah yeah!

Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Woah

Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Yeah!

Wherever I may wander, wander, wander
Wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam....

Chris Rea - "And You, My Love."

I do not sleep tonight
I might not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together

Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason
What they've all come here for

You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all, because of

Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms

Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay

And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of...

The Smiths - "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side."

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me ?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?
Oh ...

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love
How can they see the Love in our eyes
And still they don't believe us ?
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us
And if they don't believe us now
Will they ever believe us ?
And when you want to Live
How do you start ?
Where do you go ?
Who do you need to know ?

Oh ...
Oh no ...
Oh ...
La ...

Delta Goodrem - "Sanctuary."

Just like the glorious northern sky
You guided me
Shining a light of pure tranquility
To a secret place where no-one else could go
Free to reveal the things I never show

Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality

Somewhere to love, somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love, somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run

I was deserted like the moon is at the dawn
I never thought I'd ever find a place so beautiful
All my heart was falling like a stone
Deep into an ocean vast and colourful

Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality

Somewhere to love, somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love, somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run

One step on the horizon
A safe place up on the mountain
So far away from chaotic life

3 Doors Down - "I Feel You."

They gave me a life that's not so easy to live
And then they sent me on my way
I left my love and forgot my dreams
I lost them along the way

Those little things you say
When words mean so much
You never back down
And they all shy away
You always listen to me

And what do I get to get me through these sleepless nights?
And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight
And what do I see?
The only thing that gets me through this is what I feel
And I feel you

And this ain't no bed of nails
But they're not roses just the same
God, this road sure can be long
Another endless day, another seven hundred miles
That'll take me further from my home

Those little things you say
When words mean so much
You never back down
And they all shy away
You always listen to me

And what do I get to get me through these sleepless nights?
And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?
And what do I see?
The only thing that gets me through this is what I feel
And I feel you

I know what you're going through now
Believe me, I live this

And what do I get to get me through these sleepless nights?
And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?
And what do I see?
The only thing that gets me through this is what I feel
And I feel you

Jack's Mannequin - "The Resolution."

There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel

That I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light

The Supernaturals - "Smile."

Every silver lining has a cloud
And each piece of good fortune must be paid for by the pound
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift

You'd better smile
You'd better smile
I feel like a Dalek inside,
Everything's gone grey but used to be so black and white
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile

You'd better smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
Smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
You'd better smile
You'd better smile
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift.

Savage Garden - "Chained To You."

We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna; then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation, rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion, desire so intense
I can't take any more, because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

And when you looked into my eyes
Felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination cast a spell and
You became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate, is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness, I barely know you
We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back, you're still a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna; then you kissed me
I can't take any more, because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like I want to be
I've got to be chained to you

Tell me it's madness
I barely know you

Death Cab For Cutie - "Soul Meets Body."

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Missy Higgins - "The Sound Of White."

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be
What you were, what you were to me in memory.
But if I listen to the dark
You'll embrace me like a star,
Envelope me, envelope me...

If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away -
If only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.

And if I listen to the sound of white,
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to the sound of white ...
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.

My silence solidifies
Until that hollow void erases you,
Erases you so I can't feel at all.
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream, of you and me...

If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me to before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
Promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away.

And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
If I listen to the sound of white.

I knelt before some stranger's face,
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
But I dropped my head, 'cause it felt like lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light.
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
The sound of white.

Katherine Jenkins - "Fear Of Falling."

On the list of hearts that have been broken,
It's not hard to find a place that bears my name.
So I learned to leave every door unopened,
Certain all I'd find was just more of the same.

I just lived my life,
Turned days to night,
But I didn't count on you.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

For so long there was no hope to believe in,
Washed away with every tear I cried.
But now my dreams are wide awake and breathing,
And I'm letting out all that I held inside.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.
Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

Meat Loaf - "The Future Ain't What It Used To Be."

I never knew so many bad times
Could follow me so mercilessly
It's almost surreal all the pain that I feel
The future ain't what it used to be

It doesn't matter what they're thinking
It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me
It's always so cold and I'm too young to be old
The future ain't what it used to be

Were there ever any stars in the sky?
And did the sun ever shine so bright?
Do you have any dreams I could borrow
Just to get me through the lonely nights?

Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
Is there anything left I can say?

Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters

The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever
In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be
A future that ain't what it used to be, no more...
(no more, no more, no more)

It's like a storm that's never ending
It's like a shadow on the land and the sea
There's nothing so sad as a tomorrow gone bad
The future ain't what it used to be, now

Some days I feel so numb and empty
And those would be the good days for me
Nothing gets to me now unless I'm thinking of how
The future ain't what it used to be

Were there ever any stars in the sky?
And did the sun ever shine so bright?
Do you have any dreams I could borrow
Just to get me through the lonely nights?

Is there anything left to hold on to
When the rivers wash it all away?
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
Is there anything left I can say?

Say a prayer for the falling angels
Stem the tide of the rising waters
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters

The endless night has got a hold of me
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all these tears are washing over me
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever
In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be
A future that ain't what it used to be no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more
No more, no more, no more, no more...
No more, no more, no more, no more...

The future just ain't what it used to be
The future just ain't what it used to be
The future just ain't what it used to be
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be

The future that ain't what it used to be no more...
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be
The future that ain't what it used to be no more...
Hmmm, the future just ain't what it used to be

Aaah, the future, the future, the future, the future...
Oh, the future, the future, the future just ain't what it used to be
(the future just ain't what it used to be)
Oh, future just ain't what it used to be
Aaaaah, the future just ain't what it used to be
The future...

I wish it wouldn't come
I wish it wouldn't come .

Keane - "A Bad Dream."

Why do I have to fly
over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
and you that I defend, I do not love.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate.
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time, you could be my friend.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
Yeah, you're long gone now.

Where do we go?
I don't even know,
My strange old face,
And I'm thinking about those days,
I'm thinking about those days.

I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
Guess I'm not the fighting kind.

Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
Yeah, you're long gone now.

Euthanasia - "Unspoken."

Take me away, sir, from the mirror of the past
The tears are dripping into the eternal well
And ripples on the surface create impenetrable cells
Surrounding the seconds of our lives.

All unspoken, there is no one left I can confess to.
All unspoken, I can swallow up the letters of those sentences.
All unspoken, a tongue, as carved from a throat
All unspoken, writing alone on the wall of tears.

The present has been scattered into the dust
Why do I wake up in the past?
I can see through blind eyes
Into the kingdom of the fallen.

The words I haven't spoken
Are disappearing in the depths of buried hopes.
In the echoes of unlived tomorrows
I learn to listen to the steps of solitude.

Dancing shadows create a silhouette
Of celestial freedom and connection.
I'm waiting by the wall of tears
Outside the borders of time, inside the temple of light.

Cyndi Lauper - "True Colours."

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realise
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colours
shining through
I see your true colours
and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
Your true colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colours
shining through
I see your true colours
and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
Your true colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Alice Cooper - "Might As Well Be On Mars."

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Midnight blues comin' through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favourite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me want to suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
But I'm right in your back yard
And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the man in the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly
If I could I'd come down to you
Maybe I should try

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favourite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the man in the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

The Mavericks - "From Hell To Paradise."

For thirty years they sang the
song of promised victory
But who they've fought and who has won
Didn't matter much to me

I see them driving down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
Crowds of people to their feet
Their faces full of scars

No pleasantries, no luxuries
No little children's milk
While minister's wives spent all their lives
In China's finest silk

My back's been broken many times
But my spirit lingers on
The day it comes my way on freedom's ship
I will be gone

From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price

This ninety mile trip
has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep for ever
what was never theirs to take

I cursed and scratched the devil's hand
As he stood in front of me
One last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free

From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise
I'll always pay the price

Con ojos tiernos algun dia te mirare
Con brases abiertos algun dia abrasare
Hay mi Havana cuando pueda regresare

(Translation:
With tender eyes someday I'll look at you
With open arms someday I'll embrace you
My old Havana someday I will return)

Fish - "Plague Of Ghosts."

1 (i) Old Haunts

I found a home in the darkness,
Found a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness,
Empty stomach, empty head, a body fills a vacant bed,
And the thunder rolls by, and the rains come,
And the day is gone and I wonder where I am.

Found a place in the darkness, found a home in the darkness,
In the darkness, home, in the darkness.

A crowded room of passers by, and in the shadows strangers cry,
And the ghosts try to hide,
When the rains come, when the storms form,
When I wonder who I am in the darkness,
Home.

(ii) Digging Deep.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep down
Deep down deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep,
Down, deep down digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down,
Down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down,
Deep, down deep digging it

We watched an insect stray to the edge of its world,
A lily pad stretched over a green mirror
In which the ghost carp swirl like clouds before a storm.
This is the season of the rains,
This is incoming.

And when it came there was no cover, no place to hide,
Vision blurred, hard to breathe,
Trying hard to hold onto something that's real.
Nothing left, nowhere to go, no open road;
It's washed away by swollen streams,
Carried off downriver with all my broken dreams.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
Down deep, down deep, deep, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep down,
Down, down, down, digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
Digging it digging it, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep down,
Deep down, deep down, digging it.

A tethered goat bleats from the corner of the graveyard
Where the lizards hang motionless as the angels of stone above them,
Their broken wings throwing long shadows into the grass
Where the scorpions hide.
The tigers are running out of jungle.

In the end I was tired of being asked
If I could say that I was happy now,
As if you need me to convince you that everything's okay.
Would you take me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
Down deep, down deep, deep digging it
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down,
Down, down, down, down, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
Deep down, deep, deep, digging it,
Deep in the darkness, down, down, down,
Down, down, down digging it.

Are you happy now? you keep asking,
Asking am I happy now?
Why can't you tell me that I'm happy now?
Are you happy now?
Happy now? Happy now?

2. Chocolate Frogs

The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions
Pirouette and dance amongst the swirls and eddies
In their final procession down the muddy river
To the delta where they're thrown up by the surf
Onto sterile beaches or are trapped in the roots of mangrove cathedrals
Of the islands that gather in the bay.

These are the first arrivals on this new horizon
That will be coveted by strangers
Who will deposit themselves on these shores
To build towers to the heavens.
The storm will come and the rains will fall
And remove their dreams and hopes once again
To the waters that surround them.
And while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness

A heid full of chocolate frogs, a body full of rush,
A pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of bush,
An eyefull of the future and a belly full of the past,
How beautiful the present when you know it cannae last.

A tumblerful of voddie, two fingers in a glass,
A handful of promises, a heart full of remorse,
Mindful of your manners when you're brought down to your knees,
A heid full of chocolate frogs is all you gave to me,
That's all you gave to me, that's all you gave to me,

A spoonful of miracles, a nostril full of dust
A lung full of virginia, the needs we have we must,
A pill to put your heart right, a nose out for a deal
For a heid full of chocolate frogs, what can you give to me?
What did you give to me?
What did you give to me?
What did you give to me?

3. Waving At Stars.

You cracked up too soon before the punchline hit home
And at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you.
You were out on your own,
Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving from bars, waving from aeroplanes,
Might as well be waving at stars

You called out her name as the darkness hit home,
Raised up your Zippo and opened the skies till the crowd melts away,
At the end of the day, you ran out of light,
Praying for rain, praying for signs,
Praying for time, praying for endless night,
Might as well be wishing on stars

4. Rain Gods Dancing

Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves
And the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of rain gods dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the flood
When all I had to do was recognise the love that's trapped inside.

I gave it all, I took it back and in the end there's nothing left
Except a shell surrounding emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain,
I see my pathway shining.

Rain gods with Zippos, a tin man hides a broken heart,
Rain gods with Zippos, he knows the flame has gone, that soon he'll fall apart.

So I lay me down to lie, and with the rain my lullaby
I drift away to dreamless sleep, leave behind a life that died,
A victim of a plague of ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt, buried deep within my memories,
A shelter of self-pity that I know the rain will wash away,
I sense the storm arriving.

Rain gods with Zippos, a tin man rusts away and slowly falls apart,
Rain gods with Zippos and all he leaves behind is a bleeding, broken heart.

(Part ii) The Wake-up Call (Make It Happen)

In the end I found beginnings, not a vision, a wake up call,
Raised from the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all
And my eyes were opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame,
A spark of life to touch the fuse and blow these clouds away,
I can make it happen, if I want to,
Make it happen, if I try,
Forgive, forget, forever never means as much as it does today,
Make it happen, we can make it happen, we can make it happen.

When I wake up, will you be there? it can never be the same.
If we can take our lives slowly, step by step,
We can be dancing in the rain,
We can make it happen, we can make it happen, make it happen,
Forgive, forget, forever means today, make it happen, we can make it happen,
We can make it happen, forgive, forget, forever means today,
Make it happen.
