1.
Sun/Rise 04:55
Sun rise now Flows its hand toward ground Spell dark, to blurry eyes If heaven spills to skies Sun rise now Warming earth we found Hue of dawn demand Surround what we don't understand. Wake now, dream Till next moonbeam
2.
Dream/Unwake 02:16
I could hear your name While I was at my window pane Whispered softly So I whispered softly Dream, un-wake and I floating by and by Under stars And yellow moon You'll know where her heart lies When you peek on the horizon line Where the world seems smaller And time grows longer
3.
Ascend/Find 04:42
My Mom said to look out for the ones You care, and care for you And in time, as we all learn to climb You’ll find that it was true Cloud mist over silvery tops Looming in and out of this world Grounds may shift while seas lift Somehow we'll find ourselves home My Dad, he told me that kindness Drips in and out of time Give what you can, and when you can’t Be the warmth of the world around you
4.
Star/Dust 05:00
Darkling, unsettle me Time, unmove me If there was a way To move mountains Closer, I'd pull them in Asking "Who crowned them?" We are the dust of dreams Surrounding young moonbeam Crystal shudder Heart shatter Your love asking What’s the matter
5.
Tell me wide river Where rocks hide beneath Crystal ships feel precious But won't last long in my reach The water that we wade in Is different when we start Miss the mist of rising stars And let go of your heart Current flow right through me And act on my frail frame Time has made me weathered At least we’re all the same The water that we wade in Is different when we start Miss the mist of rising stars And let go of your heart Love is not unchanging Sunrise will too be fading
6.
S. End 03:31
When you woke from a dream, I knew that you'd return To the ground you walked on, and from which you tried to learn Where birds wait to be heard of again You might've caught a glimpse every now and then Where does the love in your heart go when it goes If the soul exists, then nobody knows. Prints can be left on mountain-side But will the trees sway different if they knew you've died Can I change the world or does the world change me Why can't it be both, I guess we'll have to see Bodies swell with the ocean tide And hearts that beat differently can soon confide. We are all that we’ve got.
