never hides the LightAnd you find that you can laugh again‘Cause everything you thought was realRevealed the way you truly feelYou once thought you were aloneNow the Light has comeThe dream is shown Inspiration comes when it’s guided by the LightNow pass it on to those you seeWith all intentions rightYour desperation leaves While you’re focused on your dreamsYou wake up to then realizeThings aren’t what they seem‘Cause everything you thought was realConcealed the way you truly feelYou are One – You’re not alone‘Cause the Light has comeThe dream has grownCloser to the LightWake up now The time is rightTo hold on so you mightShine it, Shine it brightYou must find your lightWake up nowThe time is right To hold on so you mightShine it, Shine it brightInspiration comes to roll away the dew2.Every NightEvery night I just wanna go outGet out of my headEvery day I don’t wanna get upGet out of my bedEvery night I wanna play outAnd every day I wanna doBut tonight I just wanna stay inAnd be with youAnd be with youEvery day I lean on a lamppostI’m wasting my timeEvery night I lay on a pillow Just resting my mindBut every morning brings a new dayAnd every night that day is throughBut tonight I just wanna stay in And be with youI wanna be with you3.Morning SunWoo, morning sunIt’s got the power to move everyoneI stayed up a many restless nightTryin’ to differentiate the wrong from the rightMy soul couldn’t hear what my heart had saidWith all my purest thoughts being blocked by my headWoo, morning sunIt’s got the power to move everyoneAll day long she’s just a merry little loverBut everything changes once we get under the coversShe waits ‘till midnight just to pick a fightI won’t find relief until the strokes of daylightWoo, morning sunIt’s got the power to move everyoneSweet sun do shineSweet sunshine!Woo, morning sunIt’s got the power to move everyone4.Morning Drums5.Mountains in the MistSeveral times unconsciously I've stumbled upon the pathAnd seen a mountain in the mistAs rain falls on my shouldersSun rises in the eastI'm worn and bruisedBut I am here at leastI guess I'm just an obstacleA thing to overcomeIf I can sneak around myselfAgain I'll know I've wonThe moment seems to hang and floatBefore me with no end'Till I'm released, a wakened beastI'm on the road againBut now I'm soaring far too highA fleck of dust up in the skyWhere tiny clouds go sailing byPull me down todayWoven in the fairy-talesWe fabricate each dayAre little golden strands of truthThat glimmer in the lightThe colorful materialYou hold a certain wayCan keep us from the coldAnd help to get us through the nightBut now I'm soaring far too highA fleck of dust up in the skyWhere tiny clouds go sailing byPull me down todayPull me down6.Dream the SameDon’t get caught up in all the lies that you’ve been soldYou need to listen, listen to your soulDon’t you get lost in all the worries of the worldJust open up your heart Inside you’ll find a pearlWe all wanna feel the same HappinessWe all dream the sameDon’t you give up when you get to feelin’ lowJust call on a good friend and you’ll never be aloneDon’t get confused when people tell ya what to chooseJust listen to your heartThere you’ll find your truthWe all wanna feel the same HappinessWe all seek love, peace, contentednessWe all dream the sameLight LightA beautiful LightIs shining all around youLight LightA beautiful Light Is shining right inside youWe all wanna feel the sameHappinessWe all wanna feelLove and peacefulnessWe all dream the sameLOVE7.Heaven8.We AreI’ve had my heart broken A few times I’d sayYou know it’s taught me how to love my life In strange, unique waysI can’t say that I’m the one To rescue you from fearBut there’s just something about you I don’t knowThat keeps me right hereWhen the sun shines above usWe’ll dance on angels’ wingsFrom Mercury’s chance to Venus’ danceWe can see everythingWe can be anythingWe are everythingI’ve come to know you though sunny daysWhen all life was so sweetBoth of us through rainy daysWrestled with demons deepThere’s been some times I’ve let you downWhen my perceptions weren’t so clearBut please just know that I’ve got to growAnd I’ll always be hereWhen the sun shines above usWe’ll dance on angels’ wingsFrom Mercury’s chance to Venus’ danceWe can see everythingWe can be anythingWe are everything9.GroovinFeel my carRide

mineAnd still sometimes I think to wonderHow can we do it all again?It takes some faith to begin againHow can we do it all again?You and I we’re always hopin’ to findSome quick way outTo sway all doubtBut this life is so elusiveWhen ya try to freeze timeAnd still sometimes I think to wonderHow can we do it all again?It takes some faith to begin an endHow can we do it all again?Sittin’ around doin’ nothin’It takes a lot of timeA lot of my timeBut I suppose I’ve got foreverAnd today you’re mineHow can we do it all again?11.Look Around YouLook around youLove is in the treesIt’s in the

youngThe struggle of the ancients first beganThe gods of Love and ReasonSought alone to rule the fate of ManThey battled through the agesBut still neither force would yieldThe people were divided,Every soul a battlefield…
