Icarus Rising

I’ve been flying in my dreams
I’ve been walking through walls
I can see
What’s just behind
My human side
It’s shining
Like the light of a diamond sun
I’ve been hearing with my heart
I’ve been speaking with my soul
I can feel
The weight upon me lifting
To reveal the open air
Like a phoenix I am rising
With the power of the sun
Hey
The sun
The sun
We’ve all been told the story
Never reach too far
But I’m already flying
And I know it’s just the start
From the bottom of the ocean
To the edge of the sky
Following our wildest dreams, we
Fly

Another Side

There’s another side
A tails to the head
Like a beast in the night
It needs to be fed
Try to chase it away
And get lost in the dark
Try to run, try to hide
But it’s never to far
Never to far, can’t run from the dark
Run with the darkness, run
Shadows come to show us where the light is
Run with the darkness, run
Shadows come to show us where the light is

I Am I

I was a wave
In the middle of the ocean without a shore
I was afraid
That I'd break into a million tiny bubbles and evaporate
Into the sky
I was a mountain
Standing with my head above the clouds
I felt the rumbling
Deep beneath the surface I can feel it shaking me loose
To my core
Oh I
Am I
Am I
Am I
Am I ready to be everything
That I need to be when it all begins to change
And fall apart
I fall
I fall
Fall apart
I fall
I fall
Am I ready to be
Everything
That I need to be when
It all begins
Do I let it all go
Let it all go
When it's all that I know
I just don't know if I can hold my own
You're not alone
But who will I be
Just wait and see
I'm feeling like I'm ready to fall
Into it all
Oh I
Am I
Am I
Am I
Am I ready to be everything
That I need to be when it all begins to change
Do I let it all go
When it's all that I know
I can hold my own
No I'm not alone
Who will I be
I'm ready to see
Ready to fall
And fall apart
I fall
I fall
Fall apart
I fall
I fall
Fall apart
I fall
I fall
Fall apart
I fall
I fall
I fall apart

Fire

I could look at you all night
Toes in the sand, eyes shining in the moonlight
Might be the first time
We're all alone and it feels right
Now I got you moving
You got that sway
You got me laughing
Got me feeling that way
I can be your fire
Let me warm your skin
Make you my own
If you let me in
Baby let's take our time
Live for tonight, I'll be yours, you can be mine
I wanna know you better
Better than I'm used to
I can take you higher
Than you've ever been
Make the night our own
Let you in
I can be your fire
Let me warm your skin
Make you my own
Let me in
I can be your fire
Let me warm your skin
Make the night our own
Let me in, let you in, let me, let you in

My Mind

All the weight of the world
Has been bringing me down for so long now I'm tired
Of the fight
That's why I'm tryin’ to wake up
With a new mind, new eyes, new way of looking at life
So come on, come on, come on, hey!
Every time I look up
Into a sea of people reaching out, for love
No you ain't gonna tell me, ain't gonna
Tell me gotta pick a side in the war
Need a little something more to fill my soul
Get it off my mind
What's been on my mind
Get it off my mind
And I'm feeling lately
Like I need a friend
I'm not ready for the world to end
I don't need the answer
Get it off my mind, what's been on my mind, get it off my mind
Get it off my mind, what's been on my mind, get it off my mind
Get it off my mind, what's been on my mind, get it off my mind
Tell me gotta pick a side in the war
Need a little something more to fill my soul
Get it off my mind
What's been on my mind
Get it off my mind

Hey

Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
I got the feeling of breathing this morning
My body's opening up, and I'm reaching out
Reaching out
My thoughts are racing, they're bouncing around in my head
I feel like chasing the wind and running wild
Running wild, running wild
My heart beats faster, keeping up with my blood
Rushing through my veins and I'm heating up
Heating up
Now I'm activated
I'm reaching for the sky
It's not enough to say it
We're about to make it happen
It's not enough to say it
Now I'm activated
I'm moving around
Reaching for the sky
With my feet on the ground
It's not enough to say it
We're about to make it
Every moment matters
Envisioning the dream
I think we're gonna make it
Look what we created
Now
Now I'm activated
I'm reaching for the sky
It's not enough to say it
We're about to make it
Every moment matters, making it count
Envisioning the dream and seeking it out
I know we're gonna make it
Look what we created
Now
We're gonna make
I know we're gonna make it
We're gonna make
Look what we created now
Just look what we created
Hey, hey, hey hey

Purple Mountains
03:34

There was a time not too long ago
When the earth grew wild and the rivers freely flowed
One by one the colors came
Known by their shade, not by their name
Some came by vessel from across the sea
Some flew from the air, others crawled on their knees
Some of them stolen, some lost their way
Others came from the earth, raised up from the clay
Every twenty times 'round the sun
Come the daughters, come the sons
To decide what they want
And shake those colors up
Green ground grow wild
Red feathers fly
White eyes look wide
Grey stone climb high
Blue waters flow
Brown hands take hold
Purple mountains shine
In the dark black sky
There's a new way to paint the page
So each face has a name
And a home, to call their own
Where every shape has a place
To feel whole, to feel safe
To share what they know
And let their colors show
Green ground grow wild
Red feathers fly
White eyes look wide
Grey stone climb high
Blue waters flow
Brown hands take hold
Purple mountains shine
In the open sky
Green ground grow wild (Green ground grow wild)
Red feathers fly (Red feathers fly)
White eyes look wide (White eyes look wide)
Grey stone climb high
Blue waters flow (Blue waters flow)
Brown hands take hold (Brown hands take hold)
Purple mountains shine (Purple mountains shine)
In the open sky
Purple mountains shine
In the open sky

Rivers to Rain
04:30

Fingers grown hard from the chords he's played
His front two teeth got black tea stains
A thousand days out in the sun
His face has a line for every single one
Spent weeks in the wind and months in the mud
Got a little left to go before he's done
Oh woah, oh woah
Followed her heart to the places she's been
You can find in her photos all the time she spent
Traveling with friends and singing in the band
And the calm she feels on her family's land
All the clothes and the shoes and the makeup she's worn all melt away
As the west wind blows
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh woah
Oh woah
When it's over he will know
Every summer leads to snow
I can feel the west wind blow us
Back from where we came
That's the way the rivers turn back to rain
Oh woah
When it's over she will know
Every summer leads to snow
I can feel the west wind blow us
Back from where we came
That's the way the rivers turn back to rain
Oh woah
When it's over he will know
Every summer leads to snow
I can feel the west wind blow
Oh woah
When it's over she will know
Every summer leads to snow
I can feel the west wind blow us
Back from where we came
That's the way the rivers turn back to rain
