With your hands you grab my hips Pull me closer I feel your warmth Dreams so real that I forget You are no longer I only have you this way And I know you can't stay I only have you I only have you this way Don't want to let our dream go Though it haunts me it also thrills me As soon as I close my eyes You're waiting for me I only have you this way And I know you can't stay I only have you I only have you this way I only have you this way And I know you can't stay I only have you I only have you this way I'm living in a dream world Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up Need to move on without you I cannot have you this way My dreams are where I'm with you but Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up My soul deserves someone to love I cannot have you this way Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up In the new light of the morning My soul deserves someone to love In the new light of the morning Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up In the new light of the morning In the new light of the morning It'll be alright in the morning I cannot have you I cannot have you this way Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up

Witchcraft 03:30
I don't praise your God I praise the earth and the sky and the moon I don't follow time I follow waves of the ocean of my womb What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that So time after time we had the power But no chance to shine Only to be devoured Waiting patiently For things to change Well now change has come Prepare for the wave What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you [instrumental breakdown] There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that

Dance he said dance like you’ll never dance again Laugh he said laugh like you’ll never laugh again He died a young man but seemed an old man He saw not the end but a way to begin again So tell me once tell me twice, tell me that I’ll never die When you lie, won’t you please tell me why? When you can then I’ll search for the answers But I’ll get lost and find more to wonder Like why the dead man knows it all And why I feel alone And why I try to fly but always fall Back to earth [gtr solo] And when I die I’ll know it all And I accept that I am alone And I will try to fly but I will fall Back to earth

Flying Remix 04:10
And from the ashes something new grows Funny how this life On and on it goes on and on it goes I've always been told reach for the sky But I'm already high Love knows no levels love knows no levels And I see where I am going And I see where I have been Keep my faith forever flowing until the end And I see where I am going And I see where I have been Keep my faith forever flowing until the end I am flying, spreading my wings Will you miss me when I'm gone? Yes some are born blessed But there's beauty in the struggle All of us are one My fight is your fight, my fight is your fight We grow together it's our responsibility To love unconditionally And carry on the life, carry on the life And I see where I am going And I see where I have been Keep my faith forever flowing until the end And I see where I am going And I see where I have been Keep my faith forever flowing until the end I am flying, spreading my wings Will you miss me when I'm gone? I am flying, someday soaring So will you catch me when I fall? [instrumental] I will let my love flow free from my head down to my feet I will let my love flow free from my heart into my strings

All Rise 03:01
I went to church today To try to find my way The preacher was a shade of grey Turned on the radio To make my heart grow All the songs were DOA Over again, over again We never seem to learn All rise for the wave of humanity trapped in insanity All rise for the wave of humanity trapped Wouldn't you wouldn’t you wouldn’t you rather be in love? All rise for the wave of humanity trapped I saw a film and cried Cos it exposed the lies The message it was lost in time Don't know what to believe Versus what I perceive The truth is in front of my eyes Over again over again We never seem to learn All rise for the wave of humanity trapped in insanity All rise for the wave of humanity trapped Wouldn't you wouldn’t you wouldn’t you rather be in love? All rise for the wave of humanity trapped in insanity [Solo] I would rather be in love Lose myself and rise above I would rather be in love Joy and peace will be enough I would rather be in love We never seem to learn All rise for the wave of humanity trapped in insanity All rise for the wave of humanity trapped Wouldn't you wouldn’t you wouldn’t you rather be in love? All rise for the wave of humanity trapped in insanity.

As the wind is blowing it carries away my trust As the rain is pouring it washes away my lust My eyes are wide open all I see is one man He better act fast now and catch me while he still can Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me don’t lie to me Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me I cared for you My heart it beats to the rhythm of mercy Oh how I long to believe that he loves me I need to be careful I need to protect myself Surround me with wisdom of the divine truth yeah Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me don’t lie to me Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me I cared for you So hard to trust, I have to let go ‘Cos I don’t want to wait so long for love And so I must, I have to let go So I don’t have to wait so long for love I can feel his energy I won’t let him come for me hey hey I can feel his energy I won’t let him come for me hey hey I can feel his energy but I will overcome I will overcome I will overcome As the wind is blowing it carries away my trust As the rain is pouring it washes away my lust My eyes are wide open all I see is one man He better act fast now and catch me while he still can

Joy 04:02
When it was me and you You ran away at something new Realized I had been used Now trust is hard to do Not only tonight give me tomorrow The work is never done it’s the pill I have swallowed So I will forgive I won’t take it personal There always is a choice, I have made the choice I choose joy Joy Thought you were a good idea Knew I could not make it real Try to force it make it work Immediate crash and burn Gotta leave tonight I can’t give tomorrow Short term happiness can be long term sorrow Hope you can forgive hope you find a real love Whenever I lose track, it always brings me back I choose joy Joy I choose joy Joy Another tall tale, too short to try it When you hide behind a mask, I don’t buy it Give me actions, not only words When it’s time to stand, you’re in the dirt I decide I decide My soul is not for rent I decide I decide My dreams cannot be bent I decide I decide Ignore the noise I decide I decide I choose joy All around me Joy I choose joy Like a symphony Joy I choose joy All I ever need Joy I choose joy All I never need Joy
