1. Let Go

Open up those tiny wings
And pretty soon you'll know so many things,
Your heart can hardly hold
Will heal the heart with broken strings.

Grab the hand that holds you so low down,
The one that keeps you there,
And push your hand up through the Earth
And grab the powers hand that you have found.

Chorus
Line them up your fears and watch them all fall down,
Break on through the tears,
The floodgates tear them down.
Suddenly something grabs you inside and takes hold,
Think it's time that I Let Go

Verse 2
Tear the web that ties to your past,
The one that keeps you from yourself,
The one that holds you back,
Free yourself, protect that place.

Repeat Chorus
Island
Open up those wings,
Reach out for the hand that sings to you,
Push up through the Earth and
Grab the powers hand that you have always had.
Repeat Chorus

2. My Way

Verse I ~ Turn back the hands to father;
Time to go now sorry I can't stay.
All that's left here is the emptiness I once knew
Another game to play, well not today.

Pre-Chorus ~ So as I reach out to the highway,
To take me where I need to be;
I'll take myself along as I'd not done before
I'll do it My Way, My Way.

Chorus ~ This time around, my feet are on the ground;
Doin' it My Way, My Way. (Repeat)

Verse II ~ Left my home it no longer housed me;
Packed my soul up said, "I have all I need".
Traveled light then let all of it surround me;
I put the fear away;
Said not today.
To Chorus ~ Interlude ~ Pre-Chorus ~ Chorus Improv. ~ End

3. Don't Crawl

Verse I ~ Ah, just a sea of colour,
As the early winds have broken.
It's not just the leaves ya fall on;
It might be the words you've spoken.

And take me back, take me back
To the early winds you spoke of.
And take me back, take me back
To another life, another way.
Chorus ~ Don't Crawl,
To the place that's right in front of you.
Don't Call,
To the place that gives you no survival.

Verse II ~ Toss around, turn around,
As the early moon surrounds you.
And turn around, toss around
At the thought of only you and you.
To Chorus ~ To Island

Island ~ Many happy people,
Under your evil wings of justice.
Well who am I to take you all
On an everlasting oh so hassling ride?
To find my answer lies inside.

Verse I ~ When I was young and breakin' through, and tellin' lies,
You saw.
When I was old and breakin' down, ya hung around;

When I could not go on again,
My heart was broke,
My head was in your hands.
When all was lost and everything was made to last,
Your gone.

And all was lost,
I felt your hand.
I felt you there
You came around,
You came around,
The breeze runs through my hair.

To Chorus Verse III ~ And now the past is cast aside,
Your love it lasts,
Inside my heart.
We part only in flesh
But not at heart
Your spirit lives on in my dreams.
This is the dream I bring to you,
To touch,
Like I've been touched before.
Take it and cast it on the ones
Who touch your heart,
That's what your soul is for.

"Little girl you'll need me until the day your dead.

And he clarifies the deal.
He says...

Verse 1
Ya didn't like it
When my hair came down
Around your face

Bye-bye baby bye-bye
Bye-bye baby bye-bye

Locked up my heart
And drove away

To the day when I

Didn't turn around
I even smiled
And then I spoke I said

No luck for me here

Didn't come here for this
Didn't mind then
Now it's over

10. I'm Not Comin' Home

Verse I ~ Walked on summer days,
Along the streets alone.
As the summer wind flew past the stars came out,
Followed me home.
Walked on solid ground,
Before the sun went down.
Now the evening,
It is cold.
Dark with danger
Along the streets alone,
Where the frightened are never found.

Chorus ~ You cry
"Carry Me,
Won't ya please?
My feet are torn and tired".
Won't ya listen please;
'Cause I'm Not Comin' Home.
Don't say, "Come to me; I'm listening",
'Cause you can't be around,
No you're not listening,
And I'm Not Comin' Home.
I'm Not Comin' Home.

Verse II ~ Walked on to a place,
Where everything was warm;
Where the evenings never come.
You cry, "Stay, my only one is gone"!
But I'm Not Comin' Home.
No I'm Not Comin' Home.
