Anthem of a Wanderer

Seek and ye shall find
The land we've all been searching for
Seek and ye shall find
The peace we've been looking for
Hold on tight, keep moving
And we'll sing
ahh ahh ahh
Seek and ye shall find
The ones whose hearts inspire true
Seek and ye shall find
We're all under the same sky, stars, and moon, and sun
Look up and sing
ahh ahh ahh
Seek and ye shall find
The strength that lies within your soul
Seek and ye shall find
Inside yourself there lies the power,
Insight, love
So we extol
ahh ahh ahh

Come on Home
03:23
|

|
I've been waiting all this time for you
To come on home
You found something else you wanted so
You had to roam
And I will drown in my own words
I don't even think I've been heard
And I will try
To say goodbye
Without a tear
I though maybe you would wait til I
Had fully grown
When it happened (late, not never) we
Had to atone
And I will drown in my own tears
I still don't think you know I'm here
And I will cry
You'll say goodbye
But you'll return
Got a call out of the blue one day
The colors shown
I need you to come and pick me up
And bring me home
Or I will drown in my own ruin
I hope that you can get here soon
So I can fly
I'll say goodbye
And I'll return
So I can fly
I'll say goodbye
And I'll return

To the River

To the river, to the river, oh
To the river, to the river, yeah
Gauge says it's getting low
But you're all about go
You say you'll stop and fill the tank if you could ever come down
But I've got news for you
If you don't slow down soon
This ride will die before you've gone too far from where you came
Walk away, walk away
Into the rain, into the rain
Wash your pain right down the drain
I'll see to it you don't drown
I've been here before
Seven miles from shore
All this water you can't drink won't get you very far
Twice now you've sprung a leak
Cracked like a dried up creek
Twice now the dust gave in to wind and carried you away
Walk away, walk away
Into the rain, into the rain
Wash your pain right down the drain
I'll see to it you don't drown
To the river, to the river, oh
To the river, to the river, yeah

Drawn to You
03:52
|

|
I had to, there was a magnet inside
You saw me and there was nowhere I could hide
Magnetically I'm drawn to you
Well I pushed you, but there was no way around
We couldn't be one but we made a sound
Hopelessly I'm drawn to you
Your fire glazed eyes
Your candid lullabies
You're drawn to me as I to you
Around we're dancing
On a cloud in orbit
Make a sound like lovers
Hear it loud like thunder
It's stitched in and woven into the design
It's been you in me since the dawn of time
Genetically I'm drawn to you
And now that we've started we're locked in time
Set in stone and wrapped in miles and miles of vine
Endlessly I'm drawn to you
Your morning rise
You know I'm wise
You're drawn to me, would you agree
Around we're dancing
On a cloud in orbit
Make a sound like lovers
Hear it loud like thunder

Jason

Jason, why you sittin there so alone
Don't you know there's something out there for everyone
Jason, why you feelin so damn afraid
Worryin all day and night about the mess we made
And it was lonely boy meets girl
How quickly you became my world
Alone together we would be
Your face was all that I could see
Jason, with your headphones always on
Hours spent just blocking out your real life for your favorite song
Jason, always quiet and far away
Had love in your heart that you could not convey
And it was lonely boy meets girl
How quickly I let you be my world
Alone together we would be
Your face was all that I could see
And it was lonely boy meets girl
How quickly I let you be my world
Alone together we would be
Until I finally set you free
Jason, why you sittin there so alone
Don't you know there's somethin out there for everyone

Home Tonight
04:13

Take my hand, just grab it
Come out the doorway
It took awhile, it's hard to feel
We're only halfway
I'll keep you on tenterhooks
You always give me the same looks
But baby baby baby
My heart was cold when we first met
Your heart was always there, it took me by surprise
When you smiled across the room I saw it in your eyes
Why were you so stuck on me
My heart so numb it's plain to see
Out of mind and out of sight
I'll wake you when I'm home tonight
You turned around so slow, does this mean that you are ready to go?
We'd been shot down and acted fools
I never guessed we'd see this through
And baby baby baby
My heart was cold when we first met
Your heart was always there, it took me by surprise
When you smiled across the room I saw it in your eyes
Why were you so stuck on me
My heart so numb it's plain to see

Ol' Missouri Bluff
03:07
|

|
If you wanna come on down
We can make a sweet sweet sound
Sharing tales of love and woe
On a mountaintop plateau
Him and her and you and me
Singing all in harmony
Joining forces with the leaves
Underneath a shady tree
I don't need much to feel free
Someday I know we will be
Birds can fly and so can we
Time will come just wait and see
Finding what we're put here for
Never easy to be sure
But try and sing it loud enough
On an ol' Missouri bluff
We can do it anywhere
Home is where your hearts are there
Find it in your heart to share
Sing your song and let it blare
I don't need much to feel free
Someday I know we will be
Birds can fly and so can we
Time will come just wait and see
Come on now and take my hand
We'll go to the promised land
Oh how happy we will be
Come on clap along with me

Crossroads ahead, I know which way to go
I turn around to find you
Are you ready to follow?
I don't have time to waste or time to wait
This is my chance to shine before it's too late
I need to know right now
Are you with me?
We've both made mistakes and errors in judgement
But that was before
And I'm looking ahead
I don't have time to waste or time to wait
This is my chance to shine before it's too late
I need to know right now
Are you with me?
Oh, but I am so fond of you
Oh, but I am so fond of you
The time is slipping away and I have nowhere else to stay
And this is the last time that I'm gonna turn around
Please don't expect me
To carry your weight
I don't have time to waste or time to wait
This is my chance to shine before it's too late
I need to know right now
Are you with me?

First Goodbye
04:10
|

|
The roof is on fire with smoke filled desire
And they can't get out cause it's over their heads
The sun hangs its crown as the dark creeps around
But stars they ignite in the weary sun's stead
Hearts beat in time and fingers intertwine
There's no escape from the deep of his stare
So she bats her eye and lets out a long sigh
The palpable air thick and rich without care
Logical reason ceases
Magic's control increases
Consequences don't apply
Until they've said their first goodbye
She feels inclined to show all her designs
That hang from the doorframe right next to her bed
He doesn't know so he smiles just for show
But he's hanging on to her every last word
The palpable air it has followed them there
But it moves aside as they commence their dance)
Boundaries dissolve as their bodies resolve
And they won't get out cause they're not in their heads)
Logical reason ceases
Magic's control increases
Consequences don't apply
Until they've said their first goodbye

Letter to My Heart
04:39

|
This is a letter to my heart
Please kindly get off of my sleeve
I think it's best we spend some time apart
Because I feel so much sometimes it's hard to breathe
This is a letter to my heart
You've been just way too big right from the start
Let's find a way to work together and you can impart
A sense of urgency that I can do my part
And I was hoping oh so very hard that you could do me one good solid
Help me realize with confidence that what I feel is valid
Help me find the place to go
But please don't always let it show
This is a letter to my mind
Please understand some things you can't rewind
Can I switch you off like a radio?
Because you move too fast and I must take it slow
And I was hoping oh so very hard that you could do me one good solid
Help me realize with confidence that what I feel is valid
Help me find the place to go
But please don't always let it show
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
This is a letter to my soul
Bring all together so I can be whole
I feel if I can find the balance and some self-control
I'll be well on my way to finding out my role
