AGAINST MYSELF

Closer to the heart and the rhythm
Closer to the skin and the bone
(You gotta) walk right through this fire to find your way home

(Gotta) find my rhythm…Gotta move my soul
gotta learn to surrender turn this metal to gold
Gotta lean to the left keep an open hand
lose my mind and use my heart if I still can
Let the home fire burn never let it die even when they turn a blind eye

Helpless…I am…against myself I am

Gotta find my rhythm…Gotta move my soul
Gotta walk through the fire to find your way home
Cuz we're closer to the heart and the skin and the bone
When the home fire burns under every single stone…(under every single stone)

Helpless…I am…against myself I am …

KING OF HEARTS

All the stars, here below
Angels flying guide us home
Fire's flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)

all desire, all alone
always sinking like a stone
Fire's flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)

(you're the) King of your own heart

all of us, here below
every single place we go
fires flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)

burning heart, broken wing
all the saints and angels sing
fire's flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)

(you're the) King of your own heart

(Under this) great, black sky…our hearts burn…in the night

(Let it) roll, like the wind
All the stars on a string
First you burn, then you sing
The king of my own (heart)

burn it up, out of sight
drag the shadows into light
fires flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)

world of time, never end
rising up and then descend
fires flames never far
(When you're the king of your heart)
(you're the) King of your own heart

(Under this) great, black sky…our hearts burn…in the night (let it roll, let
it roll, let it roll)

(Let it) roll, like the wind
All the stars on a string
First you burn, then you sing
(The king of my own heart)

(Let it) roll, like the wind
All the stars on a string
First you burn, then you sing
(The king of my own heart)

Closer to the Flame
Here comes, here comes the sun

We can't control how the whirlwind time flows
Just roll the dice and let 'em fly out the window

Let 'em fly out the window

Just when you thought that it would all come crashing down
You said you lived in a ghost town

Look at the dark sky one more time
And watch the stars (align)…
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it was
(Watch the stars align)
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be

Sometimes…(here comes, here comes the sun…here comes, here comes the sun)

I told the shadows that they couldn't have the last say
I moved my soul even closer to my heart flame…

closer to my heart flame

Just when you thought that it would all come crashing down
You said you lived in a ghost town

Look at the dark sky one more time
And watch the stars (align)…

Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it was
(Watch the stars align)
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be

Sometimes…here comes, here comes the sun…here comes, here comes the sun)

No on e to blame when you're burning like the desert sand
We're at the mercy of our own hands
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it was
Sometimes it's easier than anybody said it would be

Sometimes…sometimes…
(here comes, here comes the sun…here comes, here comes the sun…)

THE GOOD STUFF

Am I crazy to remember the way that we were
One cold November Heaven frozen while inside we burned
Am I crazy for living so long and so much
And for keeping on loving the things that I love

Am I crazy to believe in the dreams that we had
(You said we) lost it all to the weather, like a holiday gone bad

but only…the good stuff…is left now…for both of us…
we're broken down…the angels win…but we're too tough…to pack it in
so stay awake now…we've come this far…can't blame me for dreaming too hard
only the good stuff…only

(can we) stay awake now, we've come this far, You can't blame me for
dreaming too hard
Look at you like a shooting star…one flash and we're back in the dark

but only…the good stuff…is left now…for both of us…
we're broken down…the angels win…but we're too tough…to pack it in
so stay awake now…we've come this far…can't blame me for dreaming too hard
only the good stuff…only

Am I crazy for loving everything that I lost
The very best part of this life is still to come you know…

only the good stuff…only…

SACRED HEART

sacred heart still burning
desert heart burning away
Restless soul singing hallelujah
lonely stars in a river full of saints

we'll go down...to the water side

shadow roads will guide us
guide us home through this dark world
broken heart bleeding hallelujah
heavy moon with one holy word
we'll go down to the water side…
to save my soul

we'll go down to the water
right down to our bones
down to the river side
to find our way home
we have one sacred heart
let it bleed, let it bleed

to save my soul

REMEMBER THE SONG

Can you believe, can you still believe
is there a song that's buried deep
Don't lose your vision, and don't lose sight
takes a broken heart to love this life
so goodnight moon and great black sky
where's the song to get us through the night

How long...till we remember the song

The perfect words have lost their way
the fire burns and the fire fades
Don't lose your own path, and don't lose soul
Takes an open heart, to love this world
so goodnight moon and great black sky
where's the song, to get us through the night

How long...till we remember the song

HYMN NUMBER ONE

Steady River, Bring me Home…Bring me Home

For so many years I wandered blind
I followed every path I could find
But every road like a river winds
Like a river winds

As the light is growing dim
And the night time moon is sliver thin
All we have is wild within

Steady River, Bring me Home

Thunder howl and a raging wind
There's a hurricane buried deep within
Just offer up your offering
This Holy thing

(When) shadows fall, drown out the light
Our vision grows throughout the night
Every soul can re-ignite
when the fires light…

Steady River, Bring me Home

Here in the shadows…
We wrestle angels …
(till we) belie ve

YOU FEEL IT

You walk on your knees
Pray to feel free
You can't explain but you feel it

We're all in disguise
Open your eyes
As we watch this world pass by

You can't explain when you feel the song
You can't explain it all
(So Just) sing along

You…cry to the saints
To hold all the weight
Of your own heavy broken heart

we're all in disguise
one last goodbye
as we watch this world pass by

You can't explain when you feel the song

You can't explain it all
(So Just) sing along

if you can feel it when you're back on your knees and the
walls start to crumble as you're begging all the angels please
you can't explain when the shadows fall

You can hear the song if you can feel it

( So Just) sing along

AT THE DRIVE IN

Full moon, at the drive in
Stars come alive
Full moon at the drive in
Warm summer, midnight
We try too hard

Midnight moon
The city glows
In horizon skies
Our blinded smiles
Under the northern lights

Our souls in the headlight glare
Angels hiding everywhere
Not a single thing…could bring down my heart tonight

Full moon, at the drive in
Stars come alive
Full moon at the drive in
Warm summer, midnight

We try too hard

Not a single thing could bring down my heart tonight
Not a single thing could bring down my heart tonight

Full moon, at the drive in
Warm summer, midnight
We try too hard

eGUIDE US HOME

(have you lost) your vision
have you lost your way
has the dark night of the soul led you astray

are you stuck in the shadows
are you stuck in the past
have you wandered a thousand miles for a healing hand

How much longer will we let this shadow last

have you had your fill
of this broken world
would you recognize your own song burning deep within your soul

just cut the power
and look inside
....to see what's still alive
what's still alive...

C'mon, there's a bigger dream than this
How much longer will we let this shadow last

Are you tired of the same old thing
Are you tired, of the saaaaaaaame, ooooooold....thing

C'mon, there's a bigger dream than this
How much longer will we let this shadow last
(the light will guide us on the road the light will guide us home)

(And the) light
will guide us home
(the light will guide us on the road the light will guide us home)

NOTHING BUT THE STARS

Born free from the light and the dark
One storm bleeds in every broken heart
Nothing here but all these stars

One spark when the spirit's found
Just one flame when the walls fall down
Nothing here but all these stars

just get back in the game

(under nothing but the) stars…

Start at the center where the darkest shadows fall
Don't lose your path, as you answer the call
All the shadows can be angels and it's never too late to believe…

believe, just believe
(just get) back in the game
(Under nothing but the) stars

One fire when the spirit's found
Born free when the walls fall down
One road to take us home (and there's)
One flame to light this road
Light the road…
Nothing but the stars…

These Quiet Streets

As the moonlight sheds its shadow
the angels walk these quiet streets
and everything above and below
just softly sinks beneath the trees

the wars are silent in slow motion
the violins can crush our heart
but as the last light sinks in the ocean
our souls can see right through the dark

can you still listen when I whisper
Will you remember what I said
There's only one more thing to sing now
But let's stay quiet here instead

we are lost...on the highway...broken down...like a hitchhiker in the...
blue sky...open road...north star...moonlight
ghost town...wind howl...smoke on the horizon...

bu If you could feel your own fire burning
We'd all have so much less to fear
Just like this world with all its turning
We always end up right back here

can you still listen when I whisper
Will you remember what I said
There's only one more thing to sing now
But let's stay quiet here instead

we are lost...on the highway...broken down...hitchhike...
blue sky...open road...north star...moonlight
ghost town...wind howl...smoke on the horizon...

and as the moonlight sheds its shadow
the angels walk these quiet streets
and everything above and below
just softly sinks beneath the trees

DÉJÀ VU
Written by Joel Kroeker/Dany Bedar

Shadows fall on every town
Like a déjà vu
The wheel keeps turning us around
Is there nothing new

Le jour se leve un peu partout
Autour de nous
C'est different
Deux oceans qui se tiennent debout

Are we lost in time

So far away
Proche en meme temps
Are we the same
Si different
On the same road
Sur le chemin
Guiding us home
Dans le meme refrain

Photographs and souvenirs
Just a memory
The hours crush these stones to sand
To make us free

J'ai oublie mes souvenirs
Et mon sourire
Le temps qui passe
La langue qui casse
La legende qui court

Are we lost in time

So far away
Proche en meme temps
Are we the same
Si different
On the same road
Sur le chemin
Guiding us home
Dans le meme refrain
