In Time 03:55
I’ve been waiting for my time to come along But this moment is where all of time belongs So why put it off Cos in the blink of an eye I will be gone And how sad to be a star that never shone So take a breath and step into the light You don’t have to act the part You don’t have to live a lie Cos who you are is divine I’m singing to myself, hope you don’t mind So are you waiting for your time to come along sweetheart But you don’t know what to do or where to start And my it’s hard Cos being true to yourself means facing what you’re not But just do as your mother did, rip the plaster off And take a breath, step up into the light You don’t have to act the part You don’t have to live a lie Cos who you are is divine I’m singing to myself, hope you don’t mind I’m singing to myself but it’s alright I’m singing to myself and you’re at my side So I ain’t waiting for my time to come along Cos now is where I always belong And this gift of life wont last long So how dare I be a star that could have shone Thy will be done.

Taste 04:06
You know I love you You know I care My sweetheart darlin’ My closest friend It’s not you my love It’s something inside me And as much as I try to make it hush I think it’s time to let it be Let it breathe, let it be seen And let you go so I can Taste all that I can taste Dance while I’m awake Seize the day as it breaks I’m no waiting for another one Taste all that I can taste Dance while I’m awake Seize the day as it breaks And I can rest when I am done Your pillow is still warm my love Still blessed by your smell But the imprint shows your absence Like a story sad to tell But it’s getting better, I’m kind of finding my feet And no more am I trying to close the door I’m stepping out to see What the ocean holds for me And letting go so I can Taste…

Plain Sight 03:59
I've been hiding my light Keeping it locked away inside But I'm tired of hiding I want to be here in plain sight My mother knows I am a sweetheart I never want to cause anybody any harm Maybe that's why sometimes I keep my sweetness Behind some kind of a facade But unless we hold out flame out to the darkness The world's just gonna stay dark Cos it's better out in the open Stop the running and hiding and running away And heal what's broken Find a way, find a way To turn the page Cos it's better out in the open Everybody's got a monster Living underneath their bed at night And if we hide our heads beneath the covers We'll never get a moments peace within our minds We've got to get up and say hello Shake him up say off you go tonight Cos unless we shine our light into the darkness The world's just gonna stay dark So here's my light in the darkness Now come on, come on And show me who you are Cos it's better out in the open Stop the running and hiding and running away And heal what's broken Find a way, find a way To turn the page Cos it's better out in the open I've been hiding my light Keeping it locked away inside But I'm tired of hiding I want to be here in plain Sight.

Soft Kiss 03:14
If you think you’ve got it then you just don’t Just take a minute to step down from your throne Forget about what you know And watch the space around your head grow Cos you can hold it in a tight fist You can try, you can try but always miss Cos it’s waiting like a soft kiss From a lover, from a lover your heart has always missed So hold me in your arms honey We’re shining like stars and they’re not far away Let them remind you who you are The light that’s shining through the dark Don’t harden up your heart Don’t harden up your heart I see you walking on your tightrope I see you dying to leap into the unknown But too scared to let go And follow the quiet call of your Soul You try and hold it in a tight fist And you try and you try and you try but always miss Cos it’s waiting like a soft kiss From a lover, from a lover your heart has always missed So hold me in your arms honey We’re shining like stars and they’re not far away Let them remind you who you are The light that’s shining through the dark Don’t harden up your heart Don’t harden up your heart

Start Again 05:07
It didn’t go to plan It wasn’t what I thought it would be I didn’t get to hold it in my hands But I got something more, something I could not foresee And ain’t that the way it goes most of the time Hoping for the reason and you stumble on the rhyme I think I took a wrong turn somewhere down the line But I put the radio on and heard the sweetest line It told me straight A thing that bends is a thing that won't break Life wont always go your way but you can start again Start Again Lesson learned and back here at the start I feel the love returning to my heart No longer wracking my brains I’m back here in your arms Come close my love and sing our favourite song It told me straight A thing that bends is a thing that won't break Things don’t always go your way You’ve gotta learn to take the strain You told me straight A thing that bends is a thing that wont break Life won’t always go your way But you can start again Start again My oh my Look at all the beautiful people.

Only One 03:35
There’s plenty of things I could do Life is a house with so many rooms And behind each door there waits concealed A lesson to be learned, a secret to reveal And the only way to know is to open them and go Turn the sacred handle and walk on through Cos I’m the only one that’s ever been me The only one to see the things that I’ve seen And though this body’s bound to act And this mind is bound to think There’s something deep inside saying I AM FREE I don’t wanna sit here entertaining myself I wanna get up and use these hands to help And sing about love, sing about GOD Sing about who we truly are Cos the only way to grow Is through this path that I’ve been shown And what’s the use, where’s the truth In anything else? Cos I’m the only one that’s ever been me… So I’m going where I’ve never been before And when I get there you’re gonna be Waiting at my door Said I’m crossing every ocean To reach the furthest shore To meet back with the one The one that I adore Cos I’m the only one that’s ever been me The only one to see the things that I’ve seen And though this body’s bound to act And this mind is bound to think There’s something deep inside saying I AM FREE

Here 04:03
And missing what’s this side of my front door But if I care to look a little closer Lo and behold here’s everything I’m searching for I could sit for life-times dreaming bigger dreams Drawing out my plans and cooking up schemes But surely better than getting what I want Is being happy with what I’ve got Cos there ain’t no better canvas I could paint And there’s no better story I could write And the music that is ringing Includes what I am singing Would you dare to truly let it all inside? I’m tired of telling myself That I am not enough Or that I need something else To complete my story book And I should be like this Or more like them I ought to be more Than I already am Well I ain’t gonna write that story anymore No no I’m whole here where I stand Cos there ain’t no better canvas I could paint And there’s no better story I could write And the music that is ringing Includes what I am singing Would you dare to truly let it all inside? It’s HERE

Try 04:32
Take the key and put it in the lock And open up the box of all your secrets Lift them out and hold them up into the light And pray for eyes to see them right As they were and as they are Once wounds but now just scars Call it fate but every inch of road you paved And every choice you ever made Has brought you here to where you are So hold it close Let all your pain become your hope All the heartache you’ve ever known Let it be fuel for your fire So you can try. Try. Try. Try. Through the dark of the night Through the light of the day For your HALLELUJAH There will be no rapturous applause No trophies or medals for your war And they won’t know of all your struggle Tears you’ve cried and years of sorrow Trying to find a way to be what’s in your heart But try. Try. Try. Try. Cos trying’s all we are Through the dark of the night Through the light of the day For your HALLELUJAH Try.

Elephant 05:29
Morning A burning sun is rising in my eyes Yearning to leave this place and cut all of my ties But I’d be running From my Self that I could never leave behind Instead I’m turning to the elephant that knows Where there is water when the land is dry Darling I don’t like the person I’ve become Washing wont clean me of the bad things that I’ve done But I’m turning away from the past towards the sun And the elephants are stomping on the ground Singing Jonathan your war will be won Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Have you ever watched the sunlight in the morning Come seeping through the blind And reflect off specks of dust as they’re falling Have you ever watched them spinning dancing whirling Before your eyes their tiny fate unfurling I was born and I grew up I met a girl and fell in love I went mad and took some drugs I found God and I woke up And now I can’t seem to see What the difference is between A whirling dancing speck of dust And me. It seems important matters are at hand Apparently I have now become a man I’ll do my best to be the best I can Before my little castle turns to sand I’m thankful I’ve these people by my side And I’m thankful that I’m here and that I’m alive And I’ll take all of these lessons in my stride Cos if life is the question Love is why I was born and I grew up I met a girl and feel in love I went mad and took some drugs I found God and I woke up And now I can’t seem to see Any difference between A whirling dancing speck of dust And me And I might wish that I could turn back time And put right whatever I’ve done wrong But my love it’s over now And all these things are said and done So if one day my dream shall come to pass And if one day into the void I am cast Cos me included nothing lasts I’ll go with a whisper to the nothingness My sweet love I’m home at last I said I was born and I grew up I met a girl and feel in love I went mad and took some drugs I found God and I woke up And now my Lord I don’t believe There’s any separation between You whirling dancing specks of dust And me.

Secret 04:21
Keeping our eyes on each other Under the covers Lover to lover Holding a silence together A tiny forever A moment of heaven Your eyes telling me all that I need to know My eyes letting you know that I know Can we keep this our precious secret Guard and conceal it from doubting and weakness Can we keep this our precious secret Hold it and keep it always believing Your mine and I’m yours Watching you fall asleep My arms around you How have I found you The loveliest person I’ve seen Laying beside me A real kind of holy Your heart telling me all that I need to hear My heart silently letting you know that I’m near Can we keep this our precious secret Guard and conceal it from doubting and weakness Can we keep this our precious secret Hold it and keep it always believing Your mine and I’m yours Your mine and I’m yours Your mine and I’m yours
