Find A Way

Isn’t it always the case that you look better with a smile upon your face
Picture the moment you knew that love is always, always worth the chase
In a sense I’m humbled
That I don’t remember
Do you know what it takes to stay in control
Can you find a way
Son in the distance I saw. He made me walk a golden mile for sure
Head on the same way, I swear I’d meet you when you want to walk some more
In a sense I’m humbled
That I don’t remember
Do you know what it takes to stay in control
Can you find a way

Honest Man

To the honest man I give you my hand
Not for you to shake but to make a stand
For you are alone your like is rarely grown
Let me be the one to worship at your throne
Clear your thought filled head step back and breath deep
Can you rest upon instead push out and don’t keep
The olden days are gone the winners sing the song
To history they belong but memories are not long
And time don't pay
And time won't wait
For someday they will raise the gates…and say
When you are undone by what you’ve become
Think of those who are now gone and you won’t be long
Every day I want you to realise you’re loved too
Maybe then you’ll be new and find a better way through

Look upon the window scene tell me what is out there
Is it make believe is it real to me what you find there?
People trying hard each and every day now
Will you show me how to be much better somehow
If you are not to blame then who’d you want to blame
Who do you want to blame
Who do you want to blame
Stand up straight you can’t relate until you’ve lived in everyone’s shoes
Stand up straight you can’t relate until you‘ve understood the blues
Bow you’re head you’ll soon be fed so stop you’re little lullaby
Bow your head you’ll soon be fed many days wondering why
You’ll see….you’ll see….you’ll see
All you see is me
All you wanted has come to pass has left you last; has it really?

I Can't Pretend

Didn’t you want to belong to something you felt strongly about now
Time has passed for so long you even start to doubt that you’re wrong now
I wish I’d known back then how to talk and when
I’d see you walking by; and I don’t know why
It’s still the same today faces cloaked in grey
I wish I’d known back then
It’s better we don’t pretend
Looks can deceive ‘cause everybody looks good to me now
But I’m only looking on, the world is moving fast all around now
I wish I’d known back then how to talk and when
I’d see you walking by; and I don’t know why
It’s still the same today faces cloaked in grey
I wish I’d known back then
It’s better we don’t pretend
I can’t pretend
We won’t pretend
I can’t pretend

May you want for nothing……..nothing anymore
Find your heart and look out……..look out for
The wonderful horizon……..beyond your reach
All you know is all you know
Time and time again and again……..we walk home
Back, back, I’d come back no more…….. if I could find you
All you know is all you know
All you know is all you know

There You Go

So there you go
So there you go
And I want you to know where the sun did go
In the middle of the day or night
In the middle of the day or night
I’m from the end far from the end
And in time you'll find you're within the end
Don't play dumb
There's enough to make you think about what you have done
To understand
There comes a point where you will have to be a man
In the middle of the day or night
In the middle of the day or night
I’m from the end far from the end
And I can’t describe your hold on me
I’m from the end far from the end
And I can’t describe your hold on me
