If it all comes down I’ll be here w two feet on the ground If you come around I’ll try to help, just tell me how if you’re being unkind I’ll be the first to draw the line I know how to forgive At times it takes all my strength just to live When it all comes down I’ll make the most of what we’ve found When you come around I’ll do my best to hear you out if you’re being unkind I’ll be the first to draw the line I know how to forgive At times it takes all my strength just to live I know how to forgive At times I try to remind myself just to live

I might risk my life Put it all on the line Fighting to survive Till Im all out of time They can bring me down Take away my crown Rob me of my pride leave me lying on the ground But I’m not broken Wont you open the door No matter where I go I’ve been there before Familiar faces In unknown places Ill find my way Somewhere In between the spaces I might lose my way Fall into the gray Chasing a mind state That never seems to stay You can call me names Say I’ll never change Look into my eyes And Tell me I’m to blame But I’m not broken Wont you open the door No matter where I go I’ve been there before Familiar faces In unknown places I’ll find my way Somewhere In between the spaces I might be a stranger out here on my own Making my way like a rolling stone I might be lost but I’m never alone Cause everywhere I go is a place called home And I’m not broken Wont you open the door No matter where I go I’ve been there before Familiar faces In unknown places I’ll find my way Somewhere In between the spaces

Sticks and stones Sticks and stones can break my bones But words have the power to take down the throne They cut like a blade In the dead of the night When there’s nowhere to run, and no place to hide For me I wish things were different, For you If we could break the silence And see The space between is nothing more than the love we seek An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind You might think your right, but the truth doesn’t lie Better find your way cause the time is now For the tides of change aren’t about to slow down For you I wish things were different, For me If we could break the silence And see The space between is nothing more than the love we seek The future's never certain The past is out of time The present is a blessing if we hold it in our minds For me I wish things were different, For you If we could break the silence And see The space between is nothing more than the love we seek

Sail 03:07
I was looking for a sign Or a space to unwind Settled for a place I could pass the time I was looking to the future Or a way to rewind fell into the moment, With a new frame of mind Never going back Been off track Make my own path Even when it’s pitch black Rely on my Instincts No need to overthink Existence is a privilege My truth is unique I’m slowly drifting away From under a spell That kept me in my place And made it harder to tell What it’s like to belong Every time that I fail I know It won’t be long Before my heart sets sail The hardest part of starting over Is knowing when to fold Flashbacks like a heart attack, When there’s nowhere left to go Breaking free of expectations Taking in more than the eye can see Looking for an evolution A language I don’t have to speak I’m slowly drifting away from under a spell that kept me in my place And made it harder to tell What it’s like to belong Every time That I fail I know It won’t be long Before my heart sets sail Now I see it all in a different light As something starts to give Before It all just falls apart I know I’ve only got one life to live I’m slowly drifting away from under a spell that kept me in my place And made it harder to tell What it’s like to belong Every time That I fail I know It won’t be long Before my heart sets sail

Nothing is easy But I get by a day at a time Do you believe me when I say you’re one of a kind? There’s no mistaking When I’m falling out of line Maybe I’m getting closer To what I need to find Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger in my own mind But I’ll be alright As long as love is on my side There’s no mistaking When I’m falling out of line Maybe I’m getting closer To what I need to find
6.
I intend to find justice For every lie I’ve been telling myself Im so tired of running From these doubts I wouldn’t wish upon anyone else Maybe it’s all as simple as it seems Whenever I surrender, stop guessing what it means Step back and see what the day might bring I find beauty in all of the simplest things I’m here to claim my relief Better late than never set my judgements free I think I’m starting to see All I need is to step into the moment and breath Maybe it’s all as simple as it seems Whenever I surrender, stop guessing what it means Step back and see what the day might bring I find beauty in all of the simplest things Wish I had a script for the good life Maybe then I could get it right Wish I could escape my head Maybe I could be you instead Or maybe it’s as simple as it seems Whenever I surrender, stop guessing what it means Step back and see what the day might bring I find beauty in the simplest things

Revival 03:08
I just want to start over What better time than now Put aside the thoughts in my mind And find a new way out If I could find a reason For how the stars align I’d rather feel the sun on my skin And stare up at the sky Sometimes I try so hard to climb out of a lie I fell behind convinced I’m blinded by the light When something new revives my sight And I know I’m alive x2 I just want to move along From the places I have seen Find a new horizon just to Wonder what it means We all have our motives Sound as they may be But I can’t help but feeling Like nothing’s as it seems Sometimes I try so hard to climb out of a lie I fell behind convinced I’m blinded by the light When something new revives my sight And I know I’m alive It won’t be long I can feel it in my bones Before the power of love Conquers all and takes ahold If there’s one thing I know life is full of highs and lows All I have is the moment My heart and my soul Sometimes I try so hard to climb out of a lie I fell behind convinced I’m blinded by the light When something new revives my sight And I know I’m alive
8.
I’ve got no reason to be wondering why things went so wrong Been waiting for a memory to remind me I’m exactly where I belong Then I get to thinking bout the places where I would rather be Somewhere far from where my mind seems to keep on taking me Please don’t leave me reeling in the black of the night I’ve got a feeling When I make it to the morning light I’ll be alright At least I know It’s not too far from sight It’s not a mystery why I can’t see the beauty right in front of me I could blame it on my history and easily sit inside of misery But I stay open to the little things that keep on bringing me back Everybody needs a little something just to stop from falling off track Please don’t leave me reeling in the black of the night I’ve got a feeling When I make it to the morning light I’ll be alright At least I know It’s not too far from sight So close, I can taste it Still so far away Just a matter of time Before the night turns to day And the weeks turn to years And the years start to fade If I had another chance, You know I wouldn’t change a thing But please don’t leave me reeling in the black of the night I’ve got a feeling When I make it to the morning light I’ll be alright At least I know It’s not too far from sight

Come down Turn it around I got two left feet And a broken crown But I don’t mind Taking my time above the ground I put one foot in front of the other Take a step back and start to wonder Of all the places I’ve seen If it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I’d be I swear Nothing compares When you hold the throne But you’re on your own In a castle Turning to sand Shifting your plans By now Wish I knew how To escape my head When its full of dread Like a rain cloud Hanging around I put one foot in front of the other Take a step back and start to wonder Of all the places I’ve seen If it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I’d be When I stop and close my eyes I can feel your presence by my side Had my ups and downs and in between And somehow love took ahold of me I put one foot in front of the other Take a step back and start to wonder Of all the places I’ve seen If it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I’d be
