Once Upon a Time...

Let me tell you a story
about a time
When I stumbled on the sadness
without a reason or a rhyme
Now listen to this story,
about the reasons why
The strength you have within yourself is
the reason you must try
Don't give up, don't give up,
Step forward, step it up
Over and over again
Will it never end?
(Just breathe)

Counting the Stars

How do we find the ever-hidden light
Forsaken to the dark, searching for the stars
Chaos, chaos!
Darkness lurks on the path
Hidden from sight and all reason
Control your mind! Control, and power, divine!
It's winning. It's losing the shine. You're losing, The shine...
Now, we run away into the forest of insanity
Finding, some solace from the light of day
"Oh my god. It's here... The darkness... It shines so bright.
Shines so bright..."
Reaching out, touching this
Light so cold, yet warms within...
...my soul...
...may someday be found
Reaching for these stars...
They glow so bright, oh how I love this night.
Oh yes now it's here
These points they shine so bright
I shine so bright!
Reach out, touching those
Who feel so cold
A word may warm within their soul
May some light be found gazing at...
...these two stars...
...they glow so bright...
reveal the love within their light.

Need

You… Wanna go… But you don’t… Know how.
You… Need to show… Yourself... The way out
Oh why do we need.
Oh I do. Oh I need. To be. Me. Free
Travel alone...
Travelling home
Heading down the highway!
Time.
To.
Take a break from it all.
Get away!
Now you go. Now you see.
There you go again.
Rushing, rushing.
Faster than before.
The night can't come fast enough...
Take the time for me!
Oh, but still, it's you I need.
But now...
But... now...
I need to go away!
(Take it now)
So go.
Let it all go for now.
Exorcise the demons, face it all!
In the void - change
Feel the wrath of insanity
Sorry. So are we still ok?
I think that I'm ok.
Oh why do I need to go away.
Oh I do - oh I need... to be me...
Free!

Lullabye

Take the time to watch the summer fade
Watching dreams as they float away
Close your eyes and prepare for a journey beyond belief
One more time will you awake to find that all was just a dream
See it coming through the darkened skies and see it running deep within your mind
See it grow. See it slow. It transforms. Now it must go!
Waking to a nightmare of broken needs
Far from hope, or friends, or family
Skulking through a forest of blackened trees
Searching for a way to see...
The faces in the distance
They appear so pale
I wish I could touch them
so I could set our hearts a-sail.
I can hear a voice calling out my name. I can feel a choice, the magic I'll regain.
Dig deeper into the land of the dreams
Stay away from the the land of nightmares, stay away from the screams
Where am I now - how can this be - is this real or is it just a dream?
Wake up wake up. Wake up wake up.
Bright as the sky... Widening eyes
Wondering why the light's returning now!
Take it back - this is yours
Find the light in your path
Looking forward to the days to come and be renewed
A new lease on what was meant to be
Find it in our hearts to see
The light. The love. The hope. The dreams!
Lullabye.

The River

We step toward the end...soft step and lightly tread
One word can make it end
When are you coming here? The ravens look and taste my fear.
But now we know that we will find the way again...
Oh why do you always go away?
You can have what you need even if it make my heart bleed
Now I see your footprints washed away by the rivers ebb
They were washed away, they were washed away.
They were always there. Hidden beneath the waves.
One, two, three, you and me... Why can't we simply see...
The gifts within our hands?
Hello again my friend.
Welcome home again.
Welcome home again.
Welcome home again.

Unity

May today become the day
that we can set aside
that which does stand in our way...
We feel as though we're letting go...
Let's build an empire today.
I want to yell it from the mountain
I want to scream it from the grey
of the clouds that hover in the distance
I want to let them wash away.....
The hate...
(sing it loud, sing it now)
(Sing it loud, show me how)
Let's build an empire, let's build an empire because
We can unite (in this,) and (we can) rise above!
Bring forth, the melo...
dy(e)..
construct it!
Remind us all to listen,
When you ask for unity!
Now we all...watch them fall
today...
Standing tall,
now we hear them say...
Unity!
You and me!
Unity! You and me!
Of course it's all we ever really wanted.
Just a day where we could say
Hey, I understand...
you...
And I care.
Let's build an empire, let's build an empire because...
Let's build this empire, let's build this empire of Love!
