When the wind blows and it's gone And we're left here with a song Talked about things moving on Hold our hands tight and carried on As the sun set on the sea Lay and watched it silently Sometimes there's no need to speak We just listen to our hearts beat And the waves come crashing down Over this shelter with its cracks and holes and Water pours in, soaked to the skin Weather the storm till its broken It grows dark and we go home Feeling small but not alone There's so much we'll never know But there's so far we can go And the waves come crashing down Over this shelter with its cracks and holes and Water pours in, soaked to the skin Weather the storm till its broken As the dawn turns into day And we pack our dreams away There's a warmth here that remains And we both know, we'll be ok Yeah we both know, it's all ok

See you looking at me, see a star Shining brighter Seeing everything that you could be Feeling lighter Show me your soul Let it all go I just wanna rise above it I just wanna rise above it Show me your soul Let it all go I just wanna rise above it I just wanna rise above it All the little things that go to make a man I mislaid them And I'm trying to find them where I can Stop the Mayhem Wond'rin if I can be all I am Entertaining One thing's certain I'm not gonna be Making tracks now Show me your soul Let it all go (Solo) I just wanna rise above it

So What 04:00
Let me speak, you are not listening Let me speak, it's not the end of things Let it breathe and feel it opening up Let it be and don't you dare give up now Let it out, don't be afraid to howl into the wind Scream and shout, cos we are all afraid of the dark at times So what if you don't live up To something someone made up So what if it's not enough, it's a start So what if they all give up, it's not your fault Let me speak, you are not listening Let me speak, it's not the end of everything Let it out, don't be afraid to howl into the wind Scream and shout, cos we are all afraid of the dark at times So what if you don't live up To something someone made up So what if it's not enough, it's a start So what if they all give up, it's not your fault (breakdown) So what if you don't live up To something someone made up So what if it's not enough at least we're out doing stuff So what if it all falls down we don't need to hang around so what if you never knew would you be a different you So what if they all give up it's not your fault

Building castles in the air One day we'll be sitting there Living life like we just don't care Everything's alright Swimming on against the tide All that stops us is our pride Butterflies flutter inside as we face the light I never dared to dream Life was a thing I'd seen from far away But from our opening scene We followed a different theme everyday It's all in the little things you see Find them in everything You reach out and touch Remember so much This isn't a dream Jumping in four feet at a time Following a crooked line This is yours as much as it's mine and it's here right now Dancing on into the dawn It's another storyboard drawn Every minute leaves me wanting more That's what life's about I never dared to dream Life was a thing I'd seen from far away But from our opening scene We've followed a different theme everyday It's all in the little things you see Find them in everything You reach out and touch Remember so much This isn't a dream You reach out and touch You want it so much It's not what it seems You reach out and touch Remember so much This isn't a dream

Find a way on Find a way to show yourself Take the day on Time is something you'll never own See the difference See the choice you always had to make In the distance All you wanted there in a heart beat You are not alone Fear is not a home You are not alone Make this life your own Feel it moving Wonder how you ever let it be Slowly proving You were always right from the start You are not alone Fear is not a home You are not alone Make this life your own You're not alone Break this face of stone You're not alone Underneath's your own Find a way on Find a way to show yourself Take the day on You will start to know yourself

Here & Now 03:00
I am tired weary It's a very long day And my eyes are getting tired now but I don't want to go away I know that you need me to hold you And tell you it'll be ok But I don't know what I can tell you Cos it's already all been said You have to trust in how you feel You have to know that this is real There's no one else but you and me here now And that is all that counts I hate to know that's how you're feeling It's hurts inside when you are down There's nothing more you need to give me You make me smile just being around So close your eyes and get some sleep now And I'll be here when you awake Tomorrow and each day that follows It's not a sacrifice I make You have to trust in how you feel You have to know that this is real There's no one else but you and me here now And that is all that counts (solo) And that is all that counts
