Sparkle

(Verse I)

Some lives are a sparkle

A glimmer in the distance

They ride the speed of light

But if only for an instant

Let it shine, let it shine

(Verse II)

Some stories still untold

Are in what future holds

We’re only promised today

Until our sparkle fades

(Chorus)

Now take your hand in mine

And answers we will find

For I will be your guide

To let your sparkle shine

In the midnight sky there’s proof

That you’re needed in your youth

To help us save mankind

So let your sparkle shine

(Verse III)

Sometimes life is cut short

This mission they must leave

There is a higher calling
There's others out there in need

Let it shine, let it shine

(Verse IV)

Sometimes I have doubts

Sometimes I don’t believe

Then a rush through my veins

Proves you're here with me

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Bridge)

(Chorus)

Pieces

(Verse I)

The sky begins to fall away, tremors beneath our feet

Everything near and far, and all the space in-between

It’s been years in the making but now the time is here

For us to stand up before united we disappear

(Chorus I)

‘Cuz now, the world is falling to pieces

Take hold of loved ones, kids and nieces

It’s played out like a movie so ask yourself now

Are you the missing piece before it all goes down

(Verse II)

Life is like a puzzle for every piece is important

Without you in the mix the picture is distorted

Know your worth in this life before it’s said and done

You may be the reason a new world order has begun

(Chorus II)

‘Cuz now, this life is falling to pieces

Watch the world burn as it crumbles and creases 

Don’t turn a blind eye, we knew this would come

Are you the missing piece that will save everyone

(Bridge)

And when it all goes down

Will you stand your ground

Will you try and save the others

Before they all drown

There’s no more ignoring

All the mistakes we’ve made

Can we put it back together

Before it's too late 

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)

(Outro)

Only love can save us now

Only love can save us now

Timing

(Verse I)

All that stands in our way

All the obstacles to climb

So many times I’ve wanted

Everything to fall in line

When wishing beyond a star

Seems so far out of reach

I’m forced to hang on tight

And hold on to my beliefs

(Pre-Chorus)

So here I am, hanging on

Waiting for our time to come

(Chorus)

Is it my time, is it your time

Is it our time to be

I know they say to not rush in

Let it happen naturally

The days seem so long

When you’re all that I need

They say timing is everything

I guess we’ll wait and see

(Verse II)

You and I don’t make sense

All my regrets are past tense

I had my chance, I should’ve known

Before too long you wouldn’t be alone

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So many words to say, but the nerve is fleeting

Emotions to convey 'cause this heart is bleeding

Maybe I’m a fool for always hoping for the best

Trying to live a dream that will never manifest

(Chorus)

Deja Vu

(Verse I)                                                                     

I’ve walked this path; I’ve seen these leaves

Falling into a brook from these trees

As the sunshine breaks through the lines

Of nature’s branches from another time

(Pre-Chorus)

Is my mind playing tricks

How can this be

That this moment has occurred

In my memory

(Chorus)

Can this be true, what I see is déjà vu

I feel like I’ve been here before

What can I do in the midst of déjà vu

Exiting reality’s door

When I want to run, I want to hide

From everything going on outside

I’m revived by the daylight’s shine

In the déjà vu of my mind

(Verse II)

I’ve heard these noises, I’ve seen these faces

I remember my actions in unknown places

I close my eyes to shake this scene

In this mirage of recollected dreams

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

There’s something broken

There’s wires crossed

Where images blend together

Where reason is lost

I’m short of breath

I’m losing my mind

But I don’t want to forget

Being here this time

(Chorus)

Back To The Beginning

(Verse I)

The hands of time

Have made me blind

Taken away moments

That I can’t rewind

No cellphones, no internet

No worries, and no regrets

I miss those days, in so many ways

(Chorus)

I just want to go back

Back to a simpler time

Back when everything was new

Back when I had an open mind

Before all the madness, before all the sinning

I just want to go back, go back to the beginning

(Verse II)

Getting older isn’t

All it’s made to be

Everyday a ritual

Of how to make money

No excitement, no learning

No living, only burning

Memories remain, of youth slipping away

(Chorus)

I just want to go back

Back to a simpler time

Back when everything was new

Back when I had an open mind

Before all the madness, before all the sinning

I just want to go back, go back to the beginning

(Bridge)

In my sleep

It will always be a part of me

This I keep

Always near the heart of me

In my sleep

It will always be a part of me

This I keep

Always near the heart of me

(Chorus)

If It's Over

(Verse I)

The threads are torn

The fabric is frayed

All the years we spent

Promises we made

We are free to go

The flood gates have opened

Now we can breathe

But now we are broken

(Chorus I)

If it’s over, can we overcome the pain

If it’s over, can we find ourselves again

When all you want's to hold her, just to watch her slip away

If it’s over, will we ever be the same

(Verse II)

Like a two lane highway

We pass in the night

This isn’t going to be easy

Living separate lives

(Chorus II)

If it’s over, can we overcome the pain

If it’s over, can we find ourselves again

Whispers over my shoulder, calling out your name

If it’s over, will we ever be the same

(Bridge)

It’s hard to imagine you not by my side

It’s like losing an arm in the heat of battle’s cry

Time will heal all wounds or so they say

Maybe it was always meant to be this way

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)

Magic

(Verse I)

Reflecting on

A time that I’ll never forget

Seems so long

But forever in my head

It hurts inside to know that life

Can’t be that way all the time

But it’s always on my mind

Yeah it’s always on my mind…

(Chorus)

Remember the magic that was in the air

Bringing people together from everywhere

We were as one, just having fun

Some coffee, laughter and all that it was

Under God’s creation nothing but love

For a summer we lived like we were young

Just leave me here ‘til the magic is gone

(Verse II)

At that time

I never thought it would end

But now I

Know better what to expect

A ridgeline etched in my brain

The people and places I know their names

I never should have walked away

Don’t let me walk away….

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

The innocence I found

In all the simple things

Nature in all its glory

God’s love now I believe

Good friends ‘til the end

But I cannot pretend

That I don’t miss it everyday

Always thought I’d be there to stay

(Chorus)

Fight

(Verse I)

There’s no hiding from you, anymore

There’s no way I can push you down, no way I can ignore

The hell you put me through, beyond every open door

I sacrificed, but now this I cry….

(Chorus)

Tonight, I’m going to take back what’s mine

Face you eye to eye to let you know I survived

No more running away, no more demons in sight

Now is my time to stand up and fight

(Verse II)

There’s no confiding in you, anymore

All the trust is gone and slowly drained through the floor

I pick myself up and dust off what remains

Of the pain, now this I say….

(Chorus)

Tonight, I’m going to take back my life

Breakaway from a grip you've held so tight

No more of these games, no more doubts inside

The time has come to stand up and fight

(Bridge)

I’m screaming down deep

I’m my own worst enemy

So much guilt is clenched

In these fists of uncertainty

I can’t fall into that chasm

Again, now this is my anthem

This is my anthem….

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)
