Lay Myself Down
In search of a river
I can cross with this load
Leaving loneliness behind
All it’s impossible terrain
You give these eyes distant fire inner light
One star still burning in the night
I’ll lay myself down
Down at your feet tonight
I’ll lay myself down
A long way between fires
A longer way between friends
But I can see it I can breathe free now
No hiding love from now on again
You give these eyes distant fire inner light
And courage still to see things as we are
I’ll lay myself down
Down at your feet tonight
I’ll lay myself down
Today I don’t want to see
Too far down the road
Today I don’t want to be
In a world with no justice for all
Alone with the thoughts
And the dreams for no cause
Last night I was scared to death
You give these eyes distant fire inner light
One star still awake in the night
Awake in the night
Lay myself down
I’ll lay myself down
At your feet tonight
Lay myself down

Treasure (in our hands)

Treasure (in our hands)
I held the moment looking deep into the fire
A piece of me slowly danced above the flames
The moon and stars above were wrapped around the sky
The world seemed bigger and the night
Would never be
Be the same
The treasure’s in
In our hands
Our love it understands
The treasure’s in
In our hands
All time stood still just knowing this is not a dream
We keep on taking and we’ll find her getting mean
And when we leave her we should leave her better off
We never take the time to see
That we might be
Be to blame
The treasure’s in
In our hands
The gentle breeze
The savage seas
Mountain rains
Natives tears
Lava flows
The rainbows glow
The sky so blue
The stars so clear
The treasure’s in
In our hands
Our love it understands
The treasure’s in
In our hands
The treasure’s in our hands

Sent To The Moon
The sky and the earth are so different here
I cannot walk ‘cause there’s so many cars here
I talk to the man but his words I do not hear no
It must be a dream it’s so strange here
Sent to the moon
Sent to the moon
Still with our freedom
There’s more coming soon
When I was a boy they told me to fight
A giant would come to my home
He said that this is like heaven for us
Colour TV Boy scouts and cars
And the bars
Go by the rules go by the regulations
So much to learn in so little time
Chase them away oh
I don’t want to get involved
With these dreams of these angry giants
Sent to the moon
Sent to the moon
Still with our freedom
There’s more coming soon

Hard To Find
I never thought that I would see the day
That things would turn out quite this way
I never knew just how fragile we are
Strangers sharing one magical star
Well now our village is calling out
Time waits for no one with or without
Running late puts you right on time
Out of control but right in line
There in your face but it’s hard to find
The party’s getting bigger it’s already bust outside
Trillions later we’ll have to run and hide
Take it for granted it’s all up for sale
But watch your head space junk just might fail
Running late puts you right on time
Out of control but right in line
Right in your face but it’s hard to find
Peace will come when we help the poor
Seems like reason’s gone out the door
She said most anything can be justified
Running late puts you right on time
Out of control but right in line
There in your face but it’s hard to find

Have It All Again
I see millions of faces
All staring at the sun
Perhaps a billion places
Where everyone feels the same
It would be like heaven
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
It’s hard to tell well
We could have it all again
Instead of being blue
Acting as ourselves again
Still remaining true
From the car to the spaceship
And in such little time
No food on the table
Still spells dismal days
We could be so happy
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
We could have it all again
Instead of being blue
Acting as ourselves again
Keep your eyes on the first light
Witness our new age
One foot in the door now
And both hands in the air
And both hands in the air
We could have it all again
Instead of being blue
Acting as ourselves again
Still remaining true

Yellow Sun (Lay Low)
Nation to nation
Loyal hearts following dreams
The chance to be free
Still close to the sea
Innocent and stranded souls
Lay low yellow sun
This may seem an end
Behind the watching gun
There’s a strong young friend
Lay low yellow sun
The secret that you know
Will soon reach everyone
Yellow sun lay low
Watched the harboured pearl
As it drowned
It clutched to you
All the way down
The journey of faith
This road to a new life
Has taken from you
Everything you owned
Left with little sense of worth
Your honour’s on the other side of the earth
Feel the sweating of the sun
The silent scared blue moon
Disappear with friends, ships and pride
Lay low yellow sun
This may seem an end
Behind the watching gun
There’s a strong young friend
Lay low yellow sun
The secret that you know
Will soon reach everyone
Yellow sun lay low

Golden Rule

Golden Rule
Have or have not
Had the means
Slept with peace
Ashes or dreams
There’s a method to the madness
There’s a golden rule
Those with the gold makes the rules
One will get two
But hard to keep
United we fall
In so deep
There’s a method to the madness
There’s a golden rule
Those with the gold make the rules
Drag the dreams back to earth
We cling to survival like a pearl to it’s shell
There’s just no way to hide a broken world
Slide in down under the sand
Bring me out from the land
Your tides will wash over me
Take me under the sea
Now’s the time
Set the fire
Have no choice
Higher and higher
There’s a method to the madness
There’s a golden rule
Those with the gold make the rules

Out Of Sight (out of mind)
Tell me what was going through your mind
Were you searching for that something
You still can’t find?
Looking for that little peace of mind
You lost somewhere back there
You had us all believing you were sincere
When all along you knew it the end was near
The world with it’s feet up
Watching with fear
As the war got increasingly cold
The war got increasingly cold
Out of sight and out of mind
A bad excuse is better than none
Out of money and out of time
Just when I thought I might have won
Now that all the money has been spent
You still feel that you’ve been heaven sent
It could have been better used to pay the rent
But the choice was simply not ours
The choice simply was not ours
The choice simply was not ours
Out of sight and out of mind
A bad excuse is better than none
Out of money and out of time
Just when I thought I might have won
