In the dark of a broken heart, but the light is gone
With a yearn to be there again
It is always 'round the bend, it is always 'round the bend
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
You've been down and you're ticking time
And you've been drinking just to numb your mind
You've been lying in your battle lines alone
And you're behind on the debt you pay
And you've been looking to the faith to save
It is always 'round the bend, it is always 'round the bend
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
Love is life
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
Your love is a lantern, your love is a light
Love is life

You give a love, give a love so true
It's a love that I never knew
You make me feel so good
I live a love, live a love with you
You make me feel so good
I can't believe, can't believe your love
Could it be that I receive your love
You make me feel so good
You're so good, you're so good
I wanna take your hand and walk this land and tell it to the world
I'll never understand the way that you can always make it real
You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good

Sometimes when I leave the light off
I can still see you throughout the night
A feeling that I get deep down inside
Sometimes when I need a light on
Sense a power and I switch it on to bright
Serenity I hold onto in life
I come alive when I see the signs,
wake up to my open eyes
I come alive when I know it's right,
listen to the heart and mind
Sometime if I need a ladder
I'll climb up to the top to reach the sky
Moving out to somewhere and I really do know why
I come alive when I see the signs,
wake up to my open eyes
I come alive when I know it's right,
listen to the heart and mind

We never learn, we never love
We never care, we never share
We always seem to fall apart, we never look into the heart
We never know, we never grow, we never seed, we never sow
But in the end we will depart, we never see into the heart
You break me down to save me, you bare my soul
You shine your light to blind me, then make me whole
We never dream it doesn't seem
We never will a way to build
Do we believe in who we are, we never look into the heart
We never laugh, we never cry, we only hang as years go by
How did we let it go so far
We never looked into the heart
You break me down to save me, you hold my soul
You shine your light to blind me so I can glow
You shake the ground to move me and help me down
You show me what is in the heart
We live to learn, we live to love
We need to look into the heart
We live to care, we live to share
we need to be what's in the heart

Can we move a mountain that is in our way
Will we worry about the things we need to say
Can we dream as high as we will ever be
Will we see a storybook or fantasy
I really wanna know, really wanna know
I really wanna know what we'll do with our love
What will happen to the circumstance we're in
Would it stay the same if we would look within
Could we be a little more than we are now
Do we need somebody else to teach us how
Can we grow, how will we know where we are going in this world
Will we ever understand how we live within a plan and realize we have it all
I really wanna know, really wanna know
I really wanna know what we'll do with our love
I really wanna know, really wanna know

You never stop the runnin' afraid of something you can't own
A fear inside you looming anticipating getting old
You want the things around you bound in so you will keep control
Pointless destination and never knowing where you'll go
You fly away like a sparrow in the wind from straight and narrow
You pierce my heart with an arrow take it all beg steal and borrow
Although there's involution your dissolution races on
It's complicated for you so you think it must be wrong
Your feeling with a notion, but indecision cries out more
Then put your feet in motion, stand up and heading for the door
You fly away like a sparrow in the wind from straight and narrow
You pierce my heart with an arrow take it all beg steal and borrow
You fly away like a sparrow in the wind from straight and narrow
You pierce my heart with an arrow take it all beg steal and borrow

It's a special kind of love
This time is a big surprise
This time we got open eyes
This time will be something new
If only because of you
This time we begin to smile
This time maybe stay a while
This time we'll get back into
And only because of you
It's a special kind of love
Even if we never say goodbye
We will always feel this way inside
This time is a magic place
This time for the human race
This time it's a well to do
It's only because of you
It's a special kind of love
It's a special kind of love
Wanna share the moments we give to you
The revelations of love and truth
It's a special kind of love
It's a special kind of love
It's a special kind of love...

Gemini, Gemini just close your eyes and dream
Gemini, don't deny the limit is the sky
Whatever your delight
I never knew a woman who could light up any room
Sharing all her love with everyone
Gemini you know I know that it is what you do
Genuine, yet having fun
Gemini, city life is not the way you choose
So much there to do
Gemini, beautify the little ones you teach
And keep them in your reach
I never knew a woman who would light up any room
Giving out her love to anyone
Gemini you know I know that it is what you do
Genuinely you're the one
Waking up the moments that will celebrate your life
There isn't any mountain you can't climb
Looking through the years
At all the things that let you shine
Never running out of time
From above you fell in love
And all the seasons were aligned
And all your feelings came alive
Gemini, Gemini just close your eyes and dream
Gemini, can't deny the limit is the sky
Whatever your delight
I never knew a woman who could light up any room
Sharing all her love with everyone
Gemini you know I know that it is what you do
Genuine, yet having fun
I never knew a woman who would light up any room
Giving out her love to anyone
Gemini you know I know that it is what you do
Genuinely you're the one

Don't you wanna be happy
Do you wanna equalize
Will you wanna live together and be alive
Don't you wanna love another
Do you wanna realize
Will you want a revelation and be alive
It'll be arousing, it'll be a test
Gonna need to rise up to bear
Don't you wanna see the beauty
Will you want to realign
Do you wanna have a reason to be alive
Don't you wanna break the cycle
Walk away from unaware
Do you need a new persuasion to be alive
It'll be the right thing, it'll redirect
You'll be so bright and aware
Don't you wanna love another
Do you wanna realize
Will you want a revelation and be alive
It'll be for life then, it'll be till death
Love is on the rise until then
It'll be arousing, it'll be a test
Gonna need to rise up to bear
It'll be the right thing, it'll redirect
You'll be so bright and aware (you'll be aware)
It'll be...

Jump back into reality
And I'm up to my neck temptation dissin' me
Try to live in a way I know is right
But the evil forces tug me to the side
I'm gonna lose it, am I gonna lose
I'm gonna lose it, am I gonna lose it
I wanna see you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna reach you
I wanna know you
I wanna feel your love
Look back at words that I have said
And I've done some harm and I know that hearts have bled
Gotta face confusion constantly
And the battle rages to take over me
I ain't gonna lose it, never gonna lose it
I ain't gonna lose it, never gonna lose it
I wanna see you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna reach you
I wanna know you
I wanna feel your love©2018 Cabela and Schmitt BMI

Somewhere out there is a boy
And somewhere in there is a boy
There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run
And somewhere out there is a voice
And somewhere in there is a choice
There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run
You can’t always see if there is pain on the face
You gotta go deeper to reveal the place
Too easy to hide the way you really feel
Too easy to be on the run, too easy to be on the run
Somewhere out there is a war
And someone in there is keeping score
There is a boy on the run yeah
There is a boy on the run
Somewhere out there hurts a child
And something in them makes them wild
There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run
You can’t always see if there is pain on the face
You gotta go deeper to reveal the place
Too easy to hide the way you really feel
Too easy to be on the run, too easy to be on the run
No one to learn from no one to love
No one to guide them show them the love
They are our world they are tomorrow
And we can’t let this happen any more
And we can’t let them hurt like this no more
We gotta love em while we can
You can’t always see if there is pain on the face
You gotta go deeper to reveal the place
Too easy to hide the way you really feel
Too easy to be on the run.

I don't know why I reminisce about you sitting by the fireside
You speak to me a ton of understanding, something I cannot deny
I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky
I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true
My younger days a flight and interception, nothing short of insecurity
But then I find a path of sweet surroundings trying to keep satisfied
I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky
I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true
How long it's been over the years I wonder where has all the wisdom fallen
So on we go into the blue and yonder, far enough for me to know
I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky
I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true
Sometimes I'm lost without a place to go, when will I find my way around
Often I hide behind a burning flame in fear of something I don't know
I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky
I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true

I'm standing beside you on a great day, in a cool way
I'm there to remind you it's your time make it good time
You've got a life, maybe it's time you fill it with dreams
You're not the only lonely heart...you fool
Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over
Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over
I'm talking about you, saying let go let it happen
I know you can hear me, you can hear me, ya hear me
You know the way, maybe it's time you realize your dream
You're not the only lonely heart...you fool
Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over
Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over
So many times you'd say...I don't know where to go
I can't force you into making up your mind
Hold your head up high, breathe another sigh, happy knowing why
I'm gonna believe in you
Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over
Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over
Don't say it's over

Sometimes when your luck is down
And you've got nothing left to lose
White lines they been calling you
So will you change that avenue
As time accelerates
And you got nine lives you can celebrate
But you got no way to intoxicate away
Time accelerates
One day when you're gettin' high
And you got nothing well defined
Realize that the years go by
Because your world is so confined
Locked out in a circumstance you can hardly understand
Two steps and you're on your way
But then you turn around again
Your time accelerates
And you can only hope to liberate
But you got no way you can concentrate today
Time accelerates
Someday when your life is good
And you've got two paths you can choose
Will you act in a pompous way
Or will you fill with gratitude
Sometimes when your luck is right
And you've got everything to lose
White lies may be haunting you
So will you change your attitude
As time accelerates
With only one life you can orchestrate
And maybe you can start to validate with love
Time accelerates
Time accelerates...

Is enough, enough when you're growing up
Mission in your eye, let it be a modern day surprise
You always recognize the way you need to be alive
It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party
Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine
You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party
And let the worry slip on by
You, you are the world to you
It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party
Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine
You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party
And let the worry slip on by
Somewhere whenever you're waiting
For the love and peace of mind within your life
There is a moment when you realize
The dream and destination have aligned
It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party
Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine
You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party
And let the worry slip on by

Did you miss her when she went away
You never got the chance to say
Give me something to hang on every day
And now you’re hoping for another time
And there’s nothing that can change her mind
Is she saving you a special place in line
There’s only one way you can go
So find a way to let her know
You’re all the things this heart could need
All the things my future sees
All the things that make a lifetime real
You’re all the things that help me grow
All the things I need to know
All the things that let me love you so
All the things and all ways so much more
I know you tried to help her see
Just how good her life could be
But did you ever tell her how you feel
Another time a different place
A second chance to make your case
To say the words finally face to face
It's the only way to go
You found a way to let her know
You’re all the things…
Simple words they make you smile
If only for a little while
Feelings that you know are true
All this time they’re making you
You’re all the things…

What you say can save or break a heart...what can you say, what do you say
What you say can mend or rip apart
What you say has power it can hurt or it can heal
What you say can ratify, but never be repealed
What you say, what you say
What did you say, what will you say...what you say will pacify or mar
What you say can burn a bridge or throw you into ire
What you say can be the truth or make you out a liar
What you say can animate or maybe pulverize
What you say can disagree or open up your eyes
What you say, what you say, what you say
Angels singing from on high, serpents down below, 40 days & 40 nights were not that long ago
With the hate and anger that is brewing in your yard, what you say is tearing us apart
What you say
What you say is what you mean and it's what people hear
What you say is vigilant and pulling at an ear
What you say can build them up or make them disappear

You've been working through the night
You've been trying to get right
You've been using all your might
And you've been trying to get by
You've been running low on time
Becaue you live a paradigm
Days have gone beyond your prime
But you've been trying to get by
And you're gonna get a brand new job
And you wanna try do some good
And you wanna do the things you learned
Have you ever been lit inside
Get a lttle human pride
So you can make it you keep on trying
Your intentions over flow
You don't wanna be furloughed
You've got every right to know
And you've been trying to get by
And you know you wanna break that tie
And you wanna be the one who decides
When you get to step aside
Did you ever get lit inside
With a little bit of human pride
And you will make it if you keep on trying
You let a force into your life
Buried in it will provide
You can sense you are aligned
So you keep trying
Trying to get by
Trying to get by
Trying to get by

You can put me out, you can shout me out, means nothing to me
You can rip my air, you can take my car, means nothing to me
You might as well take everything I don't really need, means nothing to me, nothing to me
You can't hurt my happy you don't have the strength
I don't need nobody thinking they own me
You can toot your horn 'til you be reborn, means nothing to me
You can have your fortune, you can settle scores, ain't nothing to me
Even if you wanna be the master of the storm means nothing to me, nothing to me
When your law is just complaining, I don't want to know
And you've got an explanation where you never go
Nothing to me, nothing to me
If you're in a fire and you live that way, means nothing to me
If you come undone over everything, ain't nothing to me
If you're always spinning time running away, ain't nothing to me
Nothing to me

Say you'll give your heart now baby, say you'll give your soul
You wanna live your life now baby and never be alone
The dream comes easy when you are young
Love is just a feeling when you are young
I remember someone saying when you are young
The best is always yet to come when you are young
Do you ever wonder baby, will you ever know
Needing things to make you happy will never let you grow
Say you'll give your heart now baby, say you'll give your soul
Will you work on love now baby and turn it into gold
The dream comes easy when you are young
Love is just a feeling when you are young
I remember someone saying when you are young
The best is always yet to come when you are young
It's only you and I who make it true
It happens all the time, it's nothing new
The dream comes easy when you are young
Love is just a feeling when you are young
I remember someone saying when you are young
The best is always yet to come when you are young
When you are young
