World Will Go On Without the light on you still can see The pictures never end The world it never sleeps but slowly turns While our movements go unseen The world will go on, the world will go on Without compassion we won’t survive Got to love and let it show We can’t pretend to hide what lies inside When you speak you send an instagram The world will go on, the world will go on From the beginning again, from the beginning again Steered by a love for freedom often seen Struck by a vision from a dream Looking for answers in a crowded house Desperately trying every door You seize the moment and you make it last The future’s never clear The oil and gold will stay with history Ancient ruins tell the tale The world will go on The world will go on

Work To Do 03:20
Work To Do I’ve got work to do I’m not the only one Got work to do I’m not the only one I’ve got work to do I know I’m not the only one Never know what’s around the corner We just can’t see what’s around the bend Could be told that we’re looking great Asked our pain level from one to ten We’ve got work to do I’m not the only one We’ve got work to do I’m not the only one Got work to do I know I’m not the only one We’re born innocent and that’s a fact It’s not the problem but how we react The odds against a perfect life is stacked To find the love I’ve got to give it back I’ve got work to do I’m not the only one I’ve got work to do I’m not the only one I’ve got work to do I know I’m not the only one We never know what’s around the corner We just can’t see what’s around the bend Could be told that we’re looking great Asked our pain level from one to ten We’ve got work to do I’m not the only one We’ve got work to do I’m not the only one We’ve got work to do I know I’m not the only one

She Always Knows Where the ocean meets the sky I can see her fly, fly to me She reaches up and spreads the clouds With her wings she is free Never lost She always knows She always knows Her sister moon is always there Shining bright to show, show her the way Mist drifting with her breath It’s soft caress Moves her way She always knows She always knows She always knows Sinking in the sand I watch her starry eyes gaze down Down to me Do I sink deeper do I rise Up to meet her in the sky I am free She always knows She always knows She always knows

Sunshine or Rain Got the freedom to do what I like Got the freedom to be who I want Had my share of hurt seen the face of pain Got to get up and go sunshine or rain Live for today keep looking up Live a positive life It’s the only way Sunshine or rain Now I want to see the glass half full Am I lucky to have the glass at all? People find true love see it everyday Got to let it show sunshine or rain Live for today keep looking up Live a positive life It’s a brand new day Sunshine or rain Got to get up and go sunshine or rain Live for today keep looking up Live a positive life It’s the only way sunshine or rain Sunshine or rain Sunshine or rain Sunshine or rain

Ride 04:52
Ride Out on the road that never ends See the world now through a different lens Let it all go and just transcend This wind is your friend No dead ends You gotta ride Good to see the hometown in the mirror Sometimes you get away to see things clearer No matter where you go you still hear it There’s no sweet wine from mangled vines You gotta ride Ride You gotta ride No one’s gonna say there’s no going back Live for today ya it’s not about that It’s just a change a new soundtrack Break from the pack The only goal To free the soul You gotta ride You gotta ride Ride You gotta ride

Don't Worry About Tomorrow When I’m crazy mad all about the burning trees The kids are tearing down the walls The world it’s on it’s knees And when I look for escape It’s a flashmob date Meeting at The Tin Angel But don’t be late Don’t worry about tomorrow Don’t worry about tomorrow today When I see kids used to hurt their own And some still believe everything they’re shown We just follow the dreams And block out the screams No one ever changed the world Without a dream Don’t worry about tomorrow Don’t worry about tomorrow today Don’t worry about tomorrow today There’s no excuse There’s trouble everywhere There’s no turning back Tonight’s the night There’s changes in the air Don’t worry about tomorrow Don’t worry about tomorrow And when I look for escape It’s a flashmob date Meeting at The Tin Angel If it’s not too late, it’s not too late Don’t worry about tomorrow

Waiting 03:40
Waiting Well we keep our options open These are uncertain times The world it keeps us guessing Been ignoring all the signs It’s not a whole lot different Than it’s ever been before The rich keep gettin’ richer While the virus goes to war We’ve been waiting for the waiting to be over We’re tired of going backwards We’ve had enough hard lines We all deserve to live in peace Not drown in fines and crimes We’re waiting for the day When we know the cupboards stocked We’re waiting for the day When we can keep the door unlocked Well we’re waiting for the waiting to be over Said I’m waiting for the waiting to be over The power of illusions The crisis of our times The symphony of sirens Are breaking the confines Best wake up and hit the streets And get to asking why Why we’re waiting for the waiting to be over We’ve been waiting for the waiting to be over Enough waiting for the waiting to be over No more waiting for the waiting to be over

I Know My Way Get the feeling that’s it’s out of our hands Love can be such a foreign land Would we understand the language if listening Imaginary lines like borders we’re crossing Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the woods It gives us time to think about the things that could Be around the corner if we were open Could hear her calling this is heaven on earth I know my way when we’re travelling together It’s better than it was it’s better than before This love I am sure Through the valleys over mountain and streams Nothing would hold us back from living this dream Things have changed but not the way we trust Day and night we search for love that’s just Day and night we search for love that’s just I know my way when we’re travelling together It’s better than it was it’s better than before Of this I am sure I know my way when we’re travelling together It’s better than it was it’s better than before This love I am sure I know my way I know my way I know my way

Haven't Seen Her Around Her only love was Wascana Park She spent the day just hanging out With no desire to drift too far but She could have had a change of heart Haven’t seen her around Haven’t seen her in quite some time Haven’t seen her around Haven’t seen her in oh so long Denim blue in the summer sun It was true and all in fun Come and go by herself that’s sure No need for someone to comfort her Haven’t seen her around Haven’t seen her in quite some time Haven’t seen her around Haven’t seen her in oh so long Maybe she’s working and changed her name to Dianna Maybe she’s walking by the lake in Wascana Her only love Wascana Park She spent the day just hanging out With no desire to drift too far She could have had a change of heart

Good Luck Girl She don’t watch the news to know what’s goin’ on Channel don’t matter they sing the same sad song She don’t stay inside and drown the sorrows Or stare out the window of her humble chateau The sun will set, and come around again She’ll face the music, but she don’t know when Good luck out in the big bad world Good luck good luck baby Good luck out in the big bad world Good luck good luck girl Just puttin’ one foot in front of the next She owns her story and it ain’t over yet A thousand miles starts with a single step Hmmmm Good luck out in the big bad world Good luck good luck baby Good luck out in the big bad world Good luck good luck girl She can hear the voices of sweet angels singin’ down Standing on her shoulders passin’ on the crown The melody’s sweet and the beat uptown Hmmmm Good luck out in the big bad world
