V1:
I’ve swam in waterfalls that stung my back
And all I ever needed was to go back
Cause even things that hurt make you feel alive
And all I ever wanted was to live before I die
Chorus:
Cause there’s a river in me and it pushes my feet
In uncertain forward motion
There’s an ocean in me and it won’t let me sink
But it’s drawing me out
Wash away my self-doubt
V2:
I find myself searching along the shore
Not ever really knowing what I’m looking for
Caught in imaginings of a different me
Still insecure and graceful and damn sure free
Chorus:
Cause there’s a river in me and it pushes my feet
In uncertain forward motion
There’s an ocean in me and it won’t let me sink
But it’s drawing me out
Wash away my self-doubt

Your Idea of Beautiful

V1:
Midnight humming sweetly
Mystery of you near me
We’ve done it all before
And I can taste it once again
Your smile unwraps me
Comforted disarmingly
There’s a softness to you
But you still won’t release
Pre-chorus 1:
I’ve told you all my flaws
And half my mistakes
Bared every inch to you
And let me ego ache
All because…
Chorus:
I just wanna be your beautiful
I just wanna be your beautiful
Your idea of beautiful
I just wanna be your beautiful
Can I be your beautiful?
I just wanna be your beautiful everyday
V2:
Two months til I see you again
And still I’m willing to let you in
Been craving the depth of your voice
And the spirit in your hands
Pre-chorus 2:
Can’t seem to find your flaws
Ignored your mistakes
Bared every inch to you
And let my ego ache
All because…
Chorus:
I just wanna be your beautiful
I just wanna be your beautiful
Your idea of beautiful
I just wanna be your beautiful
Can I be your beautiful?
I just wanna be your beautiful everyday

Just trying not to lose hope
Just trying not to lost hope
Just trying not to lose hope
Just tryin, Just tryin
I would never tell the children there’s no hope
But as they sleep I’ll guide their dreams
Singing Fly Away!
No I would never never tell the babies theres no hope
But I’ll speak their dreams
Singing Fly Away!
Just fly away (fly away)
Where you are safe (just fly away)
Just fly away (fly away)
Where you have peace (just fly away)
Just fly away (fly away)
Where you are free (just fly away)
Where you are free (just fly away)
Where you are free (just fly away)
No I would never never tell the babies theres no hope
But ill speak their dreams
Singing Fly Away!
And we’ll find peace between the Earth and Sky
No longer silenced or caste aside
Yes we’ll find peace between the Earth and Sky
Discover we are the source of the light
Just trying not to lose hope
Just trying not to lost hope
Just trying not to lose hope
Just tryin, Just tryin
And if dreams aren’t enough I’ll wrap my arms around you
Arms strong from pulling weeds
Hands sweet from sowing seeds
If dreams aren’t enough I’ll wrap my arms around you
And fly away!
Fly away!
Fly away!
Just tryin, just tryin.

Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
Can’t you taste your ideas growing
We are soldiers
Soldiers of a new day
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart
Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
To a place where
Friendships flowing
We are brothers and sisters in the spirits
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart
Ain’t you been there
Ain’t you going
Can you feel this
Love I’m showing
It’s got to be me and you
Me and you together
Can’t you see it
Can’t you feel it
In your heart

Can You Feel It?

V1:
There’s a point when you stop
When you know you’re no longer alone
There’s a time when your breath and the breeze become one
There’s a moment your mind just lets go
Let’s your heart open and find the road
Pre-Chorus 1:
Right where you’re meant to be
At the brink of your sanity
You stepped into the Truth,
Right where you need to be
At the center of gravity
Pulling all you need towards you
Chorus:
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you see it?
V2:
When I feel like I’m failing, I’m losing the way
When I feel like my dreams and action are far astray
Then my mind tells me I’m no good
And I have to quiet her down to hear what I should
Pre-Chorus 2:
I’m right where I’m meant to be
At the brink of my sanity I stepped into the truth
Right where I need to be
At the center of gravity pulling all I need towards me
Chorus 2:
I can feel it!
I can feel it!
I can hear it!
I can see it

V1:
I got in my car
And rolled my windows down
And sang a song
I needed to feel the sound
It’s been along week
With changes I didn’t see
But I can’t be
Melancholy
Cause joy is natural
It’s natural to me
So I release
All despondency
Into the breeze
Into the melody
Return to peace
Ride into Freedom
Chorus:
Don’s stop!
Don’t stop, don’t stop no
You must grow
Go within
Cause you must grow
V2:
The whole seems lost
(Don’t be afraid)
But I feel helpless
(It’ll be ok)
Too many hurt
(Don’t you run away no)
Too many being selfish
(Don’t you be selfish)
Cause deep down in my heart I know
(Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it)
That I can do more
(Do it, do it, do it, do it)
To remind us all
(Don’t you forget)
That we were born for Freedom
(Freedom)
Chorus:
Don’s stop!
Don’t stop, don’t stop no
You must grow
Go within
Cause you must grow
You must grow!
Outro:
Sing
Dance
Cry
Laugh
Do
Be
You

Chorus 1:
Don’t hide the sun
It feels so damn good on my face
Don’t hide the sun
I feels so damn good on my face
V1:
Head resting on a cloud
Grass in between my toes
Stretched out into myself
I just wanna be here with me
Right here, right now
Chorus 2:
Don’t hide the sun
It feels so damn good on my face
Don’t hide the sun
Don’t close the curtains honey
Bridge:
I won’t run from myself today
Won’t run from myself today
Won’t run from myself
Won’t run from myself today
Won’t run from myself today
Won’t run from myself
Chorus:
Don’t hide the sun
It feels so damn good on my face
Don’t hide the sun
Doesn’t it feel sooo good to be alive…
Outro:
Right here, right now
To be alive
Right here, right now,
