Hold Out Your Hand

You can feel it coming
With the morning light
And you know the feeling’s
Gonna make you feel all right

Almost close enough to
Hold out your hand
Span the distance, store resistance
To attack is to retreat
All you’ve got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet

You can hide it, lose it
But it’s always found
You can laugh it off
But it always comes back on you, so true

True is true enough to
Hold out your hand
Forward motion, life promotion
To reverse is to repeat
All you’ve got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet

Hold out your hand
Span the distance, store resistance
To attack is to retreat
Almost close enough to
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet

You By My Side

You know I love you
I can’t be without you
When I’m alone, I still feel this way about you
Everything’s clear
Here is here
And everything is as it appears to be so

Here am I dreaming
I stand by myself
Look and it’s easy to see
That I’m not the only one reaching
For a new kind of wealth
Reaching with nothing to hide
And you by my side

You know we love you
We can’t be without you
When we’re at home, we still feel this way about you
Everything’s clear
Here is here
And everything is as it appears to be so

Here we are dreaming
We stand by ourselves
Look and it’s easy to see
That we’re not the only ones reaching
For a new kind of wealth
Reaching with nothing to hide
And you on our side

Silently Falling

Silently falling down
Bringing hope of future to the children
Fills the air with a magic sound
Giving light to sight that cannot see
Hopefully, hopefully

Don’t believe in miracles
But I do believe in love
Don’t advise you to stick to rules
But there ain’t no need to push and shove
Or in the end you’ll reflect the pool
Reaching for the sky above

I know there’s something
But I don’t know how long
It’s taking in coming
But I still sing the song
All of the pieces fit
But the puzzle carries on

Silently circling around
Giving scope to our imagination
Stills the sea, restores the crown
Breathing life to life that could not be
Hopefully, eventually

Silently falling
Falling down, down, down

Lucky Seven

In the shadows of the fading light
Nothing in sight, nothing in mind
Nothing gained when you’re feeling restrained
The more you look, the more you’ll find
Take a bite from the apple of life’s
Not as bad, as it’s right, as it’s right
And I think you could be
Lucky tonight

By the fates that drive us on
Upon the sea we swiftly sail
In the wake of the carnival trail
The more we try, the less we fail
You and I, the more we strive
In our search for truth, love
And honesty could be
Lucky tonight

From the trees by the silvery sands
To the ice of the golden midnight lands
Runs a thread of the tears that are shed
With laughter on the other hand
Keeping up with the plans and the schemes
Chasing dreams, hard to tell what it means
But I think we could be
Lucky tonight

Safe (Canon Song)

When your saviour lets you down
Who will mind
When your lover turns around
You will find

Joy in the morning
Love in the stars
Peace and understanding
Standing right beside you when you’re walking down the street
Walk in time

Standing beside you
To shelter your hearts
Like a ship in a harbour
Blown in by the storms that surround us and you will be
Safely where
Nothing can ground us and you will be
Safe with me

When you face the doors of doubt
Have no fear
When the changes come about
I’ll be near

I’ll be waiting beside you
To shelter your hearts
Like a ship in a harbour
Blown in by the storms that surround us and you will be
Safe with me
