FIRST LOVE
The first time I heard you say
how beautiful you find me
How much you love me
You rescue my heart with truth
I heard it from many
But not one compares to
The way you spoke beauty to my ears anew
No matter how far I am
You always pursue me
Always remind me
How precious I am to you
Is it desperation
Or the yearning for your embrace
The tenderness in your gaze
That's lulling me home to you
One Thing
I'm wanting only one thing
Would you be my first love
Be my first love
You love my soul to death
You treasure my every breath
More than I do myself
So I'll trust in you.
One Thing
I'm wanting only one thing
Would you be my first love
Be my first love

LOVE WILL HELP YOU STAY
You might have heard that it is blind
Cause none has ever seen it run
It moves in slow, but never fell behind
Rising like the morning sun
You might have thought it black or white
Butterflies and wedding song
Until its shades of gray, you find
Filling the void between your lungs
Have you been searching far and nigh?
The thrills of newness sailed away
You caught the rain, but your hands have dried
Chasing the wind led you astray
The coast is clear, the road is wide
I’m bidding you, my friend, to stay
Oh, my dear, you only know to fight
Let us show you another way
It will never be the kind
To force itself in any way
It’s only ever known to shine,
Driving all your fears away
The coast is clear, the road is wide
Nothing standing in your way
O, my dear, you came to hide
I hope that love will you make you stay
O, my dear, you only know to fight
Love will show you another way
Little bird, you’re free to fly
But I hope that love will help you stay
Little bird, you’re free to fly
But I hope that love will help you stay

JUST TO BE WITH YOU
Can you find the Silverline when you fall or when you soar?
There’s a time, you and I, our feet are off the floor
When I fell in your arms, I found what I was searching for
Came alive or maybe died to be man I was before
If you were up high, I would fly to you
If you were down, I’d fall into you
Just to be with you
I would go where you go and do what you want to do
Talk the talk, walk the walk I just want to be with you
Rain or shine, I’ll be fine, your love will see me through
They call it luck, but I call it love because I know it’s real and true
If you were up high, I would fly to you
If you were down, I’d fall into you
Just to be with you

OUR BROKEN HEARTS

OUR BROKEN HEARTS
Get us some glue, or leave it alone
A hammer or two, for this life of stone
Give it your all or nothing at all the penny will drop soon enough
So, get the dustpan and I’ll take the broom
We’ll do what we can, till we run out of room
If this is where it ends, we'll shoot for the moon
What else could we do, with our broken hearts
We walk the walk, so why should we run
We talk the talk, wasn't it fun
Hope is my choice of drug, do not pull the plug; It’ll feel like a flight till I hit the floor
So, get the dustpan and I’ll take the broom
We’ll do what we can, till we run out of room
If this is where it ends, we'll shoot for the moon
What else could we do,
We are nothing, we are but human
We’ve got nothing, but wishing and dreaming
but I believe in us
So, get the dustpan and I’ll take the broom
We’ll do what we can, till we run out of room
If this is where it ends, we'll shoot for the moon
What else could we do,
What else could we do,
What else could we do,
with our broken hearts
Our broken hearts

ALL THINGS NEW
You see the world crooked and warped
Its children orphaned in wars
You see its people broken and marred
and it breaks your heart
It’s why you are making all things new
Tsunamis hit and drown our homes
Hurricanes breaking our hopes
When diseases leave no way to cope
It breaks your heart
It’s why you are making all things new
To wipe our tears away
Time engulfing like quicksand
Everything in my hand
We are in the valley of death
and it’s why you are making all things new
To wipe our tears away

ALONE IN THE RAIN
Well, I don’t have to say a word
Cause in my sigh you have heard
Enough to know that I am hurt
This part I’ve never needed to rehearse
I always thought you were a call away
Through every twist and turn along the way
I’m hanging on day after wretched day
Though you are close, I feel alone here in the rain
I have never felt so lost
I thought you said that I was found
That all I needed was your touch
Can’t you see it has not worked this time around
I always thought you were a call away
Through every twist and turn along the way
I’m hanging on day after wretched day
Though you are close, I stand alone here in the rain
Are you really close, cause I feel alone here in the rain

ALWAYS BE
Lately, you’ve had to learn waiting for your turn
Sometimes it paid off, but often you got burned
A little competition never hurt anyone
Though it’s no good playing alone, losing is no fun
You are one in three and often the last, sometimes deferred
You got to believe me, the years have flown fast, but you were my first
and that’s who you’ll always be
You’re my pebble in the water; my coin in the fount
Since the day you whispered father, I have been sent joy-bound
You have shown me the patience as I learned to follow through
As borrowed as this life is, you are my something new
You are one in three and often the last, sometimes deferred
You got to believe me, the years have flown fast, but you were my first
and that’s who you’ll always be
Though you're not my only
You'll always my baby
I know things have been crazy
You are one in three and often the last, sometimes deferred
You got to believe me, the years have flown fast, but you were my first
and that’s who you’ll always be

DARE TO BE A CHILD AGAIN

DARE TO BE A CHILD AGAIN
There were 60 second chances
for trying friendships and romances
A simple minute in life, but far too much time on a playground.
Still felt wonder in the glances
pure affection, no nuances
But like a jewel on the crown, falling short has stood out and even now.
So hang on to Love, it is stronger than the doubt
You’re not so lost, only wandering about
Will you dare to trust, dare to be a child again?
I saw you turning off the TV
Too many dying in there for real
Your mirror’s telling lies, so you’re covering your eyes and your ears
O I know You still can hear my voice
So hang on to Love, it is stronger than the doubt
You’re not so lost, only wandering about
Will you dare to trust, dare to be a child again?
There’s something deep within your heart
Saying you were gone but not too far
Love has found you now and there is still more to come
It won't let you down
So hang on to Love, it is stronger than the doubt
You’re not so lost, only wandering about
Will you dare to trust, dare to be a child ...
Hang on to Love, it is stronger than the doubt
You’re not so lost, only wandering about
Will you dare to trust, dare to be a child again?
