The Way
It was meant to last forever but it could not stand
So you took it apart piece by piece with your own bare hands
We live on the sand of dreams, not on solid ground
Why are we so surprised when it all comes tumbling down
Keep your eyes on the northern star
The place you’re going to is not the place where you are
You have a long way to go
But you already know
The Way
Now your heart is broken and you’re gonna die from the pain
And you’re crying your eyes out in the pouring rain
The pain is real more than you can endure
But you’re gonna survive you can be sure
Keep your eyes on the northern star
The place you’re going to is not the place where you are
You have a long way to go
But you already know
The Way
Don’t get lost in what might have been
When something’s ending, something new is about to begin
Light comes out of darkness, laughter out of pain
Out of the deepest sadness love will come again
Hold your head high. Let your heart do the talking
The door is standing open. You make The Way by walking
Keep your eyes on the northern star
The place you’re going to is not the place where you are
You have a long way to go
But you already know
The Way
Keep your eyes on the northern star
The place you’re going to is not the place where you are
You have a long way to go
But you already know
The Way
Keep your eyes on the northern star
The place we’re going to is not the place where we are
We have a long way to go
But we already know
The Way
For You
I will walk down the road of broken dreams
I will play the music of a love supreme
For You
I will give more than a lover can give
I will live through more than a lover can live
For You
See me as I am. Heart wide open at your command
Just a lover just a man
For You
I will make the sun set in the east
I will spend 12 years in the belly of the beast
For You
I will sing with the flutter of angel wings
I will dance to the song that the Lorelei sings
For You
See me as I am. Heart wide open at your command
Just a lover just a man
For You
I will make grass grow in the palm of my hand
I will shatter sunlight into grains of sand
For You
I will make the oceans rise into a tower of dust
I will make the forests fall into a pile of rust
For You
See me as I am. Heart wide open at your command
Just a lover just a man
For You
Solstice Carol
December sky
Fire burns high
Ice on the tide
Lay by my side
Tomorrow is just a dream
Tomorrow is just a dream
Wind rattled doors
Cold wooden floors
Orange flame light
Safe for the night
Tomorrow is just a dream
Tomorrow is just a dream
Tonight we’ll leave the light on
For those who came before
Hold our memories deep in our hearts
And dream
Once more
Snow-covered earth
Time of rebirth
Wait for spring
New song to sing
Tomorrow is just a dream
Tomorrow is just a dream
Tomorrow is just a dream
Wounded
I’ve got a book in my head but I can’t write it down
It writes itself in my dreams and when I’m walking around
Cause I’ve seen some things nobody should see
And fight as I might these nightmares won’t set me free
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
You never will know. You can’t understand
What a life on the edge of death can do to a man
You lose your way. You forget wrong and right
You’re locked in and endless battle between you and your fright
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
Oh, it’s such a long way to go home
I don’t have the strength to get there all on my own
I need to talk but I’m so afraid
Can’t you see that I’m haunted by all the mistakes I have made
I need you to trust. I need you to see
That the demon who did all those things Is not really me
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
Skeletons and Stones
We walked down to the harbor
My brother and I
On the last day of harvest
Under a blood-red sky
We became soldiers
By the banks of the sea
We were so young then
My brother and me
With a thirst for adventure
We rose to the call
For king and for country
And honor for all
We abandoned our family
Left behind all our friends
We traded our young lives
For war without end
Sing me the old songs in ancient rhyme
Tell stories round the fire one more time
I’m weary to the depth of my bones
I set off for glory. I found skeletons and stones
We marched away
To the sound of command
Fought many a battle
In faraway lands
And often we’d dream
Of our quiet valley home
Our dear mother and father
And the peace we had known
Sing me the old songs in ancient rhyme
Tell stories round the fire one more time
I’m weary to the depth of my bones
I set off for glory. I found skeletons and stones
I lost my brother
On a desolate shore
And returned to my homeland
To fight no more
I walked back from the harbor
Back up to my home
But all that was left there
Were skeletons and stones
Sing me the old songs in ancient rhyme
Tell stories round the fire one more time
I’m weary to the depth of my bones
I set off for glory. I found skeletons and stones
When the Morning Comes
When the morning comes
The sky will be a different color blue
Beneath the morning sun
This old world is gonna look brand new
When the morning comes we will stand on holy ground
Gaze in wonder at this paradise we’ve found
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
We will walk down to the sea
We’ll finally understand
What it tried to say to you and me
When the morning comes new beginnings will arrive
The past will fall away and we will lift up our eyes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes.
We’ll finally understand the dream
See what’s gone before
As pebbles in a mountain stream
When the morning comes trees will bend down to the ground
The breeze will whisper hearts will tremble to the sound
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
Let the morning come
What We Have Left
He stands in the garden and looks up at the sky
All those dreams come to nothing. All those chances that passed him by
He’s sore and he’s tired. Those old memories still can sting
But in the garden flowers bloom. In the garden birds still sing
He pulls down an apple from the tree and smiles as he says to me
After all our plans have fallen through
This is what we have left
When there’s nothing more that we can do
This is what we have left
What we have left is the sky above
A little bit of time and a whole lot of love
We are living in the miracle of
What we have left
We limp along with our broken souls
Try to heal the pain try to mend the holes
Life takes its turns and we fall off track
We lose our way and we can’t get back
But even as we’re stumbling when we’re in the darkness fumbling
After all our plans have fallen through
This is what we have left
When there’s nothing more that we can do
This is what we have left
What we have left is the sky above
A little bit of time and a whole lot of love
We are living in the miracle of
What we have left
What we have left is right in front of our eyes
What we have left is not a compromise
What we have left might be more than we need
What we have left is all that’s guaranteed
Everything we wished means nothing at all
We get what we get, we land where we fall
Where we are is never where we wanted to be
But we’re standing in a garden if we only have eyes to see
There are flowers all around us something beautiful has found us
After all our plans have fallen through
This is what we have left
When there’s nothing more that we can do
This is what we have left
What we have left is the sky above
A little bit of time and a whole lot of love
We are living in the miracle of
What we have left
We are living in a miracle
We are living in a miracle
We are living in the miracle of
What we have left
