Hope in time they fall around you
Hope in time it's all about you
All in time we walk a path true
All in time it's all about you
And Time will tell all things
In the sky I saw a fountain
In the sky we all were wooden
But am I a Rain or Tree here?
And am I allowed to be here?
And Time will tell all things

Redwoods

Wandering through these woods I found you,
Cold and hungry, looking for some company
Sat beside you listening to the birds singing their song
Light shines through the redwoods so tall
"Maybe someday you'll stand as tall as me" the trees and birds did sing
"We all were little ones like you"
"Ate lots, got some sun and stretched our wings and branches wide, there's still so much for us to do"
Wandering, through these woods I found you,
Cold and hungry, looking for some company
Moonlight shining above our heads,
Stars in our eyes
Insects buzzing through the night, this is living life
"Maybe someday you'll stand as tall as me" the trees and birds did sing
"We all were little ones like you"
"Ate lots, got some sun and stretched our wings and branches wide, there's still so much for us to do"

Through the sky
In a dream
You're next to me
Surfing clouds
On and on
The world moves down below
Sunrise/Sunset
Your eyes/Your soul
Soaring through the galaxy the stars and moon explode.
Water's pouring from our eyes, we become one another
Will we live or will we die in this world under our covers?
Through the sky
In a dream
Arms extend out to me
They're grabbing on
We can't see
The light is much too bright
Your mouth it moves but I can't hear you
Your heart beat, beats out of your chest
Thunderclouds and lightning bolts are dancing in our heads
Water's pouring from our eyes, we become one another
Will we live or will we die in this world under our covers?

We Can Grow

Hey my friend, life could be a rose
And we could be the soil at the other end
Take the water from the sky,
And I will do the same so we can be good friends
In the morning of the spring
I found you next to me and we were holding hands
Time will let this seed here grow,
And let more of them grow and spread through many lands
So don't you worry if it snows
Or if it gets too dark
Or if it gets too cold
Hey my friend, our love is on our side
He'll guide us through the fear, the dark, the cold, the snow
Let's hold each other's hands and walk through many lands and find out where we go

Sun Hands

My good looks are fading, that my mother gave me
And will he still have me when we're over 80?
The sun will light me up
The earth here is shaking, he says "you're mine for the taking"
"These hands they will hold you. Hold you, burn you."
The sun will light me up

More Than Bones

When the darkness falls outside I watch and sit around and wonder.
When the darkness came to dine I couldn't help but let it have its plunder.
But there's a light that shines, there's a light that gives back all that was taken.
It is not only mine, it wasn't just my own hands that were awakened.
Oh loved one,
You are not alone, you are not alone, you are not without a lover.
You are not only bones and your skin and hair are only just a cover.
You are not only bones and you will surely have your long lost lover.
Dear Loved One,
You have lost so much and gained it all again to have with you forever.
You are an everlasting bloom, and you shall live through any weather.
For I am just like you and we will return to one another.
And all along we had a lover.
There is something inside you that glows.
There is something inside you that knows.
Don't you fear of being alone.
There is something inside you that's known.
You are the friend that I knew.

The...

On the ground; the rocks are laying around
The ocean; is going to wrap its arms around them
The trees; are doing a little dance in the breeze
In the sky; clouds paint pictures way up high
The light; is going to shine down on us

Friends are the Best

To all my friends; I do, I love you.
To all my friends; I do, I miss you.
We were walking through the dark
We were walking around
And you said to me, "What will we be?"
And I sang "La La La"
To all my friends; I do, I love you.
To all my friends; I do, I miss you.
When I see you smile from miles away
I can't help but smile too
And I said to you, "What will we be?"
And we sang "La La La"
