looking outward, and working hard to see to find a part of nature you’ve been cooking in the coals of what you want to be I’m looking at all these falling arrows begin to follow me you go around, around the bend to see the life you wanna follow in comes from looking in the soul and how you sow your seeds so far from the shallow waters relearning how to breathe look at your life unfolding now see how the scene plays out with the little bit of light I’m holding now I can see my dreams play out who do we fall to now when we’re out on that limb there’s no turning back from this forward path we follow keep holding strong, into the sea and you’re rolling on, until the waves start to calm you’re heading out, heading into new streams you find yourself living in the land you visited when you were younger and always wanted to be I’m seeing that all the fallen arrows no longer bother me look at your life unfolding now see how the scene plays out with the little bit of light I’m holding now I can see my dreams play out who do we fall to now when we’re out on that limb there’s no turning back from this forward path we follow even if you’ve lost your light and focus even if you feel you’ve lost your way know when it seems that you are falling there’s many helping hands to guide your way and now you’ve opened up into your dreams

coming in and calming down letting the pieces of the puzzle go walking through these changing tides going into the unknown you’ve seen the road inside feel it turn opening up and standing strong letting all the layers unfold going through these changing times holding your tone through the ebb and flow you’ve seen the road inside, feel it turn you’ve seen the road inside, feel it turn as we go into the light leaving the comforts we have made into the open, I don’t know if it’s real or not and if I’m falling, how come it feels like the wind is carrying me, into the open I don’t know if it’s real you’ve seen the road inside, feel it turn you’ve seen the road inside, feel it turn as we go into the light leaving the comforts we have made into through the open, I don’t know if it’s real or not and if I’ve fallen, all these hands will be right there holding me into the open, I don’t know if it’s real or not and if I’m falling, how come it feels like the wind is carrying me, into the open I don’t know if it’s real

On Our Way 04:46
you cannot see when the mountains are falling you did not see their arrival you can hear them singing you their mystic calling under the stars we sleep with tonight further in, in our understanding of where we’ve been in our travels with time and distance we can feel unbalanced from those we love and dreams to realize lay it down in the cooling waters you’ve carried it so far just get yourself into the midday sunshine and you can sail where you want we’ve been giving it our all working on what we believe in it’s a commitment to a calling we’ve heard all our days we’ve been giving it our souls and we’ve become better people and when our minds become unfolded we’ll be on our way ever could there be such a morning talking to the brothers mountain these times they call for a different kind of quarry the kind you’ve been mining all your life so many things can distract us from all that we want to do in our lives and I find that for me to feel my magic gotta face the shadow between the light water from the mountains, carried in the stones let in our hearts, feel it in our souls can you bring it down from the mountain high can you bring it down and plant it in the ground can you bring it down
4.
Providing 02:52
thank you for providing me now, with this new life I’m looking at new horizons coming into sight and you say, hold it to the light hold it to the wind hold it through the night until I find my freedom again and this is for me, and this is for you let it release and let the waves carry you home I hear someone calling you home we are departing and leaving these shores moving onto new waters feel the need to explore and you say you’ve been sending signals I’ve been writing in the sands this new life before me I’m beginning to understand and you say, send it through the light won’t you hear it in the wind we’ll go on through the night until we find our freedom again and I say hold me a little longer til’ the love becomes a light shining on each other our hearts are beating bright and this is for me, and this is for you let it release and let the waves carry you home I hear someone calling me home that little stone was a rock was a big boulder I felt it from the start, I’m here to begin home is in your heart, and heaven’s in the wind I felt it from the start, I’m here to begin I wanna live my life, feel the new love coming in and I will provide you with my open arms I want you to feel enlivened and have a place to call home
5.
Lay It Down 04:38
gone is this feeling inside now that you’re able to lay down what you’ve been holding from the light throw the light on love feel the freedom in your mind they’re coming back to guide you to play the rhythms of your life it’s time for the healing to blow away the storm let your guiding spirits make way for the dawn you’ve gone down deep inside to the bottom of your heart lay it down, lay it down for me home is a feeling inside you’re stronger now that you’ve learned to transfer the light throw the light on love feel the balance in your mind visions that have called you are now a part of your life it’s time for the healing to blow in a calm let your guiding spirits keep you safe and warm you died here tonight so you could be reborn lay it down, lay it down for me I see you up in the stars tonight I feel you when I’m walking on the ground it’s time for the healing to blow in a calm let your guiding spirits keep you safe and warm you died here tonight so you could be reborn lay it down, lay it down for me
