This Day and Age

The headlines talk
Of sadness and new risk
Life is deadly
Filled with tension and thrill

People are hunted
People are nervous
People are killed
The world is sinking in guilt

We dont dream in colour anymore

Religion

A voice inside your soul
It resonates through your skin and bone
It sings a prayer
Of strength and hope

When we look to the sky
And ask the Lord
How often do we comprehend
The silence that whispers reason

The war has already been won

Strangers

People are strange
That's why we're strangers
People stay distant
Is this why we're so indifferent

and we just walk by

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

You held my hand so tightly
Swinging from end to end
Singing along to the Beatles
“I wanna hold your hand”

We spent some time walking
Spent some time dreaming
Spent some time thinking
Spent some time talking

You talked about never wanting to let go
Talked about how just one touch felt like gold
Talked about how much you wanted me to be your man
Talked about this feeling, this love, this stand

And then you turned to me
Smiling you said
Oh you've got that special something
This feeling I'll never understand

But I don't care
I just wanna hold your hand

You And I

Close your eyes
Try to get some sleep
Its been a long long night

A clear blue sky
And a warm summer's morning
Is coming at first light

Don’t be afraid if the nightmare takes flight
I’ll be right here with you
You’ll be safe by my side

And as the morning sun
Seeps in through a crack in the blinds
We open our eyes

Lets get off this queen-sized bed
Where too many tears have been shed
And dreams were left for dead

Get into the car
Bring only what we need
There’s only you and I

Invisible

Am I really just a cloud
Drifting pass you now
Do you even know my name
Or the sacrifice that I’ve made

I’ve been dreaming of the moment
Covered in emotions you call strained
The feelings they never change
They’re quiet and somewhat strange

You’re something I just can’t explain

She Feels

She’s upset
Bad day
The stress
It’s getting to her head

She’s sit in the corner
Face to the floor
She wishes it’ll all be gone
She wishes she can run away from it all

Eyes closed
Its time to cry
Her tears
They hope for something more

She’s weeping
He hears her
Wrapping his arms around
He leans down to comfort her

She slowly opens her eyes
She’s found relief in him
His face
It’s like a fairytale dream

He's all she wants to keep

Just One Look

We made eye connection
A full chemical reaction
There’s no denying
Something magic is in the air

Emotional disorder
It came from out of nowhere
It took me unaware
And now I’m lost in her

Love Finds Love

This one's for you my angel eyes
I love your name
But will you take mine
I'll wait until the time is right
I'll wait until we both find love in each other
I pray you won't forget about those nights
Where the moon was bright
And the times we laughed and danced in step
But there's just one question
That still lingers in my mind
Will there be someone else
To snatch you away and spoil our plans?

Till love awakes

Never Thought

I never thought I'd fall in love again
I never thought that I could feel this way
I never thought I'd feel something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again
This is not what I'm like
This is not what I do
I think I'm falling for you

Darling when I see you I see me

Everything

For the winter, for the summer
For the ocean, and for the river
For the question, for the answer
For the gift, and for the giver
For the life, and for the liver
For the night, and for the day
For my dream, and for her heart
I’ll give everything

Her

Wedding bells rang
The church choir sang
A gospel song
A beautiful one
Such a melancholy tune
How it sings of you

Tonight the moon shows an extra light
That shines for only us to see
And all it takes for me to smile
Is for you to open your eyes
And look into mine

And If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
To just forget the world
Just the two of us

No one came close
To making my heart stop
All your emotions I want to be a part of
To be there when you laugh and smile
To be there when you’re down

So could you take my hand
And knot your fingers through mine
I'd be all your four seasons
Winter, spring , summer, fall
I'll always be there for you

Rose

She throws lies around
Like the ocean waves throw down the tides
They’re breaking on his shore
And the rescue team won’t save him
He’s too far out

Stranded on an island
He sleeps with the sunrise
Watching hours pass away
Waiting for dusk
To kill the day

In his dreams
He saw in red
It was him that she betrayed
Like a little girl
She had ran away

As he sat there stranded in a careless hue
The roses lift their heads
To catch a glimpse of his grand demise

Love is like a wilted rose
The seasons change
And all the pinks reds and whites
Have turned to brown

You And I

Close your eyes
Try to get some sleep
Its been a long long night

A clear blue sky
And a warm summer's morning
Is coming at first light

Don’t be afraid if the nightmare takes flight
I’ll be right here with you
You’ll be safe by my side

And as the morning sun
Seeps in through a crack in the blinds
We open our eyes

Lets get off this queen-sized bed
Where too many tears have been shed
And dreams were left for dead

Get into the car
Bring only what we need
There’s only you and I

Fool's Love

She's fragile and slender
And fading fast
In a voice so tender she asks
If I could lend her a helping hand
A hand that would end her strive

Love is only for poets
And dreams are for fools
And on all beauty you'll find
Time's always cruel

But I will excuse her
I could never refuse her anything
Cause I'm not a poet
I'm just a fool

But the beauty she speaks of
Keeps her as the exception to the rule
And even though I knew
I would lose her to someone else
I still chose to love

But all will be forgiven
Its from love I’ve been driven
Time will skip a moment
And when’s its perfect
I’ll kiss her lips
And slip away

Just For A Moment

Just for a moment
Everything I treasured was gone
Just for a moment
I was left forlorn

Just for a moment
The days seemed so old
Just for a moment
I faced my life alone

Just for a moment
My nightmare came true
Just for a moment
My heart was broken into two

Just for a moment
The heart and mind was still
Just for a moment
I saw you

and everything changed
