Once more round the sun, we’ll go Once more round the sun Once more round the sun, one go Once more as one We move and we move We go and we groove We spiral into the sun We float and we flow We glide and we glow Above and below as one And it’s a merry go round

A train-a-coming bullet rolling fast. Coal burning engines on full blast. Hauling the tail of traces  trail of smoke and heat. A train-a-coming fire underground. A fuse burning and a rumbling sound. Hauling the tales and faces carving the face of the earth. Glasses tinkling softly filled with blood red wine. Finger tapping mildly lazy seated sign. Bored of the time that's wasted going nowhere but ahead. A figure nearing pale against the black. A man awaiting standing by the track. All of the time that's wasted Is the gold you can never get back. All of the time that's wasted Is the gold you can never get back. Howling in the wind running downhill Howling with the power Hauling the might Into oblivion A train-a-coming fire underground. Rolling and ripping swallowing all sound. Hauling the tales and faces carving the face of the earth. Hauling the tales and faces

Antarctica 03:44
We sailed, one man 28 hands twixt the bergs blue for the cold land Were the reasons high and lofty so were oceans hard and frosty We were one man 28 hands Under stern steer able command Sun circling over our heads Under currents on the ice bed On the chill floes in the bright sand we’ll forever stand. Let the silent snow with the wind blow we are going Leads few cold land able command Circling our heads currents We are going home

Forces 05:16
There are songs there are forces To break us in, to pull us out Underneath at the source is One to send the night away Worlds collide Distant courses of the stars keep us alive At the core through fire forges One to send the night away Anywhere it’s wandering the heart holds a call within Close my eyes and I’m beside you So many ways to walk upon countless songs to sing along One to send the night away One to send the night away

Summerain 05:28
Break through and fall again calm your eyes Face up and start again to feel alive Break through and fall again in this cold life Face up and start again reach the skies Falling in and falling away out of the time Falling in and falling away like soft spring light Falling in and falling away out of the time Falling in and fading away like summer rain

Wild Spirit 03:33
She’s a wild spirit She’s a wild spirit as she runs She’s a wild spirit as she runs she turns the world around Sister the sight of a rainbow Mother the heart of the warming sun Brother igniter of fire-glow Beauty and love for the just begun She’s a wild spirit She’s a wild spirit as she runs She’s a wild spirit as she runs she turns the world around Brother igniter of fires Mother the heart of the burning sun Beauty and love her desires Sister the wind and the falling rain She’s a wild spirit She’s a wild spirit as she runs She’s a wild spirit She’s a wild spirit as she runs She’s a wild spirit as she runs she turns the world around she turns the world around

In the beginning I was a tiny seed Potential brimming in my growing need Hey, sky! I'll catch up with you I'll grow so high to poke your blue! It's always safer underground but silence there is too profound Through layers and layers of filth I grind only for the sun to make me blind But through the pain I cry: I want to fly up high Make a shadow in the sky a haven for a raven And see the world turn by and by Slowly the years gather around me building a shield for internal safety Beneath the soil my roots are growing above the clouds my top is flowing Winter, throw at me your best you will never kill my zest Silent I'll stand here in the land The revenge of spring is already planned Oh, the joy of spring is here the luscious fruit of summer near Autumn shudders off my leaves like a lover my heart grieves But through the pain I cry: I want to fly up high Make a shadow in the sky a haven for a raven And see the world turn by and by Humbled by the change of time I bow, again I face the grime Like bells in their haven my birds chime The sound of defeat, I'm past my prime But oh, how tall I grew to be and all the things I got to see

Praia 05:03
Out on the weekends as your heart sends your love back home you’re not alone On the horizon with your eyes on receding home you’re always home Out on the highways, strange days the road is long to carry on But on arrival you sure know you’re always home Shells on the seashore hear the wind roar you’re not alone you’re not alone Even the sun smiles as the sea shines you’re not alone you’re always home Out on the highways, strange days you’re always home Night falls to bloom the fading sky Shroud of the moon the ocean tide And on before the morning light we move along and on and on and on
