1.
Through my life the wind blew a memory So playful, the memory was so carefree Hiding and smiling in places where only children could see Binding and secret the fountain of youth was always dry I will sit beside you I will watch the weather change I will lead you over We embrace the rain

Earth 04:48
I hear a warning as broken earth begins to breathe I need to find the river and the streams That rumble in the earth beneath the urban dream They echo in the air above the ash and bone The people didn't care until the world was theirs It's the feeling in the moment It's the power of dreams It's the rhythm of the ocean It's the world that I see It's the power of boasting the love that you sing It's the motion, it's the essence of all living things It's the passion that's evolving It's the world that I know It's the heaven that we live for It's the light that will glow Down to the pasture with seeds that we sow Mountains are rising and rivers still flow Down to the valley and up through the trees Open your wings, fly away in the breeze
3.
Down to the riverside To open my eyes and tear away this hole Soft sun and silver lines Burn with pride in time Time, Time, Time. As life begins to burn You will find me dancing in the rain As life begins to sway You will find me dancing in the rain The river overflows Be strong As lightning strikes The meadow overflows Hold on As lightning strikes My body and my soul Live on As lightning strikes My body and my soul Live on As lightning strikes
4.
Everything is changing As the world spins round Though my eyes were once young I start to lose my sight And the rhythm of my heart It begins to slow We know this will not last forever I will show you all And we all climb so high And we all delve so deep. But our memories fade away, goodbye And we all want, we all need more time. Let go my love. Farewell, be strong Our fire burns on. Now time has come Kiss me goodbye
5.
Listen now whatever happens here I got you Listen now I got us something to pull us through And we could build it higher, stronger Don't you wanna live within the truth? We could build a life together All we need is to believe in you Oh, how you lighten the rainy days How peacefully, how peacefully you strengthen my honesty Oh, how you calm the thunder storm How carefully, how carefully you rescue my modesty Things are never gonna be the same But I will be here by your side And there beneath the yellow moon we made our fire Every second went to waste but mine And we can build it higher, stronger Don't you wanna live within the truth We could build a life together All we need is to believe in you Listen now whatever happens I'll get us through Listen now whatever happens here I got you Oh, how you lighten the rainy days How peacefully, how peacefully you strengthen my honesty Oh, how you calm the thunder storm How carefully, how carefully you rescue my modesty
6.
Do you remember me? Do you remember me? Do you remember me echo of the past? Do you remember me watching from afar? And this was the finest moment, so pure and so fine. I mistook you for an angel Never had the heart to steal your smile Who could deny the essence inside? I thought you were an angel My perfect love I thought you were an angel With your silver wings surrounding me I thought you were an angel In your eyes I knew you'd chosen me I thought you were an angel With your silver wings surrounding me
7.
Arctic 03:17
We sway in the cold And wish for longer 
Our time is fragile And we will never sing again 
I don't know how I feel Are these feelings for real? 
I fell into the Arctic And I hope that I don't drown 
 And I dream of a time Where the clouds hide your smile 
And the sky crowns us all crystal blue
8.
Waterfalls 03:37
And I hold, in my hand the finest grain of sand But in the final hall of fame You were the greatest love of all I was the man who gave it all Now fly away To the waterfall Listen to the call Now fly away To the evergreen Let our heart be free Hey I saw you floating into the air I never knew that you would grow to be so tall Hey I heard you singing without a care I always knew that you had faith just like me Now fly away To the waterfall Listen to it call Now fly away To the evergreen Let your heart be free Oh fly away To the evergreen Let your heart be free Oh fly away To the evergreen Let your heart be free Hey I saw you floating into the air I never knew that you would grow to be so tall Hey I heard you singing without a care I always knew that you had faith just like me

Sleepwalker The lights you see (Burn't out feeling) Are shining on forever Caught by no-one. You'll be home before they know Fading into heaven Peaceful slumber You beckon me to hide away Will you pull me under Before I wake to find myself here again Tonight I'll shy away Before you go And lead me astray (The shaman comes) I don't know if life is here Stuck in time. Sleep again I hope you're holding on If so, I forever will Make my way down through the lights Will you hide tonight?
