Who said the world will be here right after you’re gone
You should know better than to take so long
Better make up your mind or watch it all be gone

Make it worth our while
Now our time has come to make some things right

While We Wait

I know you won’t let me down
I can tell by the vibe
That’s been round our house
I can tell you won’t let this go
By the spark in your eye
And the pep in your
Feet feet feet feet feet
Feet feet feet feet feet
I got some real questions to ask you now
Do you think we might change the world
One move at a time
I got some real blessing to share around
Having you by my side
Makes it all worth
While while while while while
We wait for the world to change
While while while while
We wait for the world to change
While while while while
We wait for the world to change
While we wait
For the world to change
While we’re hoping hoping hoping
While we’re hoping for the change
Being the change
Seeing the chains
While we’re hoping hoping changing
We could be the change
We could be the change
We might be the change
We could be the change
We can see the chains
We will be the change
We will be the change

You Left Me
02:31
|
|||
You left me
All alone
Far from home
With no one to call mine
Nowhere to call my own
You left me
In the dark
With no landmark
To help find my way
To help light up my way
Why’d you have to be so cruel
Know my heart’s already broken
Even though there are no rules
You’ll find a way to break ’em
Why’d you have to be so rude
Giving hopes with your false pretences
Never signed up to get used
Rise in the morning wasted
All alone
Far from home
With no one to call mine
Nowhere to call my own
You left me
In the dark
With no landmark
To help find my way
To help light up my way
Now that you’re all alone
Somewhere far from home
Thinking bout you and me
And what it used to be
What we used to be
Now that you’re all alone
Somewhere far from home
Thinking bout you and me
And what it used to be
What we used to be
Now that you’re all alone
Somewhere far from home
Thinking bout you and me
And what it used to be
What we used to be

Could It Be

Tell me what you need sugar
Gave you all you ever wanted
No clue if you feel better
With all the pressure we been under
Could it be that you were fire
And I was your ocean
Could it be that you were fine
But I was all over yeah
I was all over
Yeah I was all over
Yeah I was all over
Yeah I was all over
Yeah I was all over
Gave you all that I got
I gave you all that I got
Gave you all that I got
I gave you all that I got
(Time to take it)
Could it be that you were fire
And I was your ocean
(Time to take it)
Could it be that you were fine
But I was all over yeah
I was all over
Yeah I was all over
Time to take it
Yeah I was all over
Time to take it
Yeah I was all over
Time to take it
You took my house
Time to take it back
You took my money
Time to take it back
You took my heart
Time to take it back
Won’t take my soul
Time to take it back
Time to take it back
Take back my power

Being The Same
03:00
|

Us being the
Us being the same
Our souls will be back
Long after we’ve gone
Staying alive through every single trace of you
Holding you dear
Holding you close
Holding me too
We know it is
We know it is
We know it isn’t what it seems
We know there’s so much left to see
More of this you
More of this me
More time to move
More of us being the same
Just us being the same
Us being the same
Us being the
Us being the same
Us being the
Someday we will see the path and
Turns out we have never walked on our own
Own
Us being the same
Us being the
Us being the same
Us being the
Somehow we will feel the path and
Turns out we have never walked on our own
Sorrows filling up your sky
Will make it storm on everything you know
Know know

Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me
Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me
Will you catch me when I fall
In your sunshine
Will you catch me when I fall
Been a lot of talkin’ darling
‘Bout me feelin’ blue
It’s all lovely talk 'till I walk the walk ain’t it
Figured if the tree’s still standing
After such a storm
There must be a way
I ain’t gotta stay
Just a few steps to reach that door
All you need to know
I made up my mind
I’ll be gone tomorrow
I made up my mind
You won’t get to see me go
I made up my mind
All you need to know
I made up my mind
my mind
My my my mind
I made up my mind
My my my mind
My mind
My my mind
Been a lot of hoping Darlin’
‘Round dreams coming true
It’s all lovely talk ‘till we
Catch a wall ain’t it
Figured if the light’s still pouring
Under such a cloud
There must be a way
I ain’t gotta flake
Just a few leaps to reach that goal
All you need to know
I made up my mind
I’ll be good tomorrow
I made up my mind
You won’t get to see me grow
I made up my mind
All you need to know
I made up my mind
My mind my mind
My mind my mind my my my mind
I made up my mind
My mind my mind my my my mind
My mind
My mind my mind my my my mind
My mind my mind my my my mind

Fall and All
02:36
|
|||
I won’t wrap around you little finger
Cause if you leave I fall
I can tell the past is putting pressure
On me to feel at all
Should I get away
From it all
Why would I stay
Watch me fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
Wings torn but never broken
Feathers on the floor
Raw words unspoken
Written on the walls
Should I get away
From it all
Why would I stay
Watch me fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
Fall

Taking over the same old Kingdom
Building empires made of Freedom
Making over the brand new Queendom
Nurturing the roads that led to Freedom
That lead to Free Dom
That lead to Free Free
That lead to Freedom
That lead to Free Free
That lead to Freedom
Don't go steppin’ down once you know what you gotta do
Ain't no stoppin’ now ‘cause we know what we gotta do
Don't go steppin’ down once you know what you gotta do
Ain't no stoppin’ now ‘cause we know what we gotta do
Feeling the waves that might seem random
Raising empires based on Wisdom
Taking over is never random
Nurturing the ways that led to Wisdom
That lead to Freedom
That lead to Free Free
That lead to Freedom
That lead to Free Free
Ain't no stopping now cause we know what we gotta do
(know what you gotta do)
Ain't no stopping now cause we know what we gotta do
Take over
Take over all
No more stepping down cause we know what we gotta do
Take over
Take over all
Ain't no stopping now cause we know what we gotta do
Take over
Take over all
Let Love take over
Take over
Take over all
Let Love take over
Take over
Take over all
Let Love take over
Take over
Take over all
Taking over
Taking over

I’ll be a bird without a sky
You can be warm without the sun
We will drift by without the breeze
I will drift by without the breeze
I can shine on without the light
We can stand tall lying down
You should live free without the hassle
You should walk free
We can stand tall lying down
Tall Lion Tall Lion
We can stand tall lying down

Home To Me
03:28

Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Came home last night
To find myself
Waiting on me
Where you been
How you been
Who you been with
What you been doing wrong
What you been doing
I knew that I was up to no good
Didn’t wanna face the fact
Told myself chill out don’t worry
Time-wise we got plenty
It’s all a phase
It is just a phase
Yet Love flows in timeless ways
Letting dreams take all their space
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Woke up this time
Found myself
Wondering what we
Coulda been
Shoulda been
Could be doing
What has been going on
How are we doing
I can tell that we’re still moving on moving up
But love flows in endless ways
Letting dreams transform the place
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
I can tell that we’re still moving on moving up
Even when the light seems low
I can tell that we’re still moving on moving up
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
Even when the light seems low
Come home to me
Come home to me
Come home to me
I can tell that we’re still moving on moving up

We are the light
That we are looking for
Looking for
We are the change
That leaves us aching for
Aching for tomorrow
That leaves us aching for
Aching for tomorrow
That leaves us aching for
Acking for
New days new ways
Coming through
New type of hope floating
New days same waves
Rushing through
Breath in the rays of light
My my my
Give it all you got little darling
Give it all you got my love
Give it all you got little darling
Give it all you got my love

Stand By Me
02:13

When the night
Has come
And the land is dark
And the moon
Is the only
Light we’ll see
No I won’t
Be afraid
No I won’t
Be afraid
Just as long
As you stand
By me
Oh darlin’ darlin’
Stand by me
Oh won’t you stand
By me
Oh stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky
That we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains
Would crumble into the sea
I won’t cry
I won’t cry
No I won’t even shed a tear
Just as long
As you stand by me
Darlin’ darlin’ stand by me
Oh won’t your stand by my
Oh stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble
Won’t you stand
Won’t you stand
By me
Oh stand now
Oh stand now
Stand by me
