SPARK

Whenever I’m in trouble don’t you count me out
‘Cause I’ve been wondering what the fuss is all about
And lately I can see I’m just a face in the crowd
With a melody in mind trying to scream out loud (do do do…)

(Chorus)
The time has come to allow someone
To be a light in the dark
A voice unheard beyond the spoken word
Can lead the world with a spark

If you number all the/count the failures from the start of the gun
The journey is a lonesome road that I’ve come from
But only I can see the possibility
Of breaking down the walls with mellow harmony

(Chorus)
The time has come to allow someone
To be a light in the dark
A voice unheard beyond the spoken word
Can lead the world with a spark

[Bridge]
And once we all decide to rust
The fire inside will turn to dust

(Chorus)
The time has come to allow someone
To be a light in the dark
A voice unheard beyond the spoken word
Can lead the world with a spark

 

HE SAID, SHE SAID

She stands there waiting in vain
And wonders if she’s insane
To be locked down (oh) by his side

He sits and thinks in sorrow
Where she’ll be tomorrow
But odds are she will say goodbye

And she says…

(Chorus)
I will fly tonight and kiss the sky to catch the stars
Just let me set sail for my dreams to be (reach, live) the fantasy for me

She looks for resurrection
From her mind’s depression
But she still finds the light inside

He seems to know he lost her
And hides the way they once were
Forgetting all the love they had

And she says…

(Chorus)
I will fly tonight and kiss the sky to catch the stars
Just let me set sail for my dreams to be (reach, live) the fantasy for me

He said, she said (x2)
She holds onto her promise
Which brings her only solace
To seize the treasure of the world

He runs through all the memories
And finds the pain she once eased
But chases only ghosts of her

(Chorus)
I will fly tonight and kiss the sky to catch the stars
Just let me set sail for my dreams to be (reach, live) the fantasy for me

He said, she said (x4)
Ooh…

[Outro lyrics]
A time it was, oh what a time it was
It all makes perfect sense
When all this rain has rusted
These walls around us

 

BROKEN ROADS

Dead end roads are no place to go
Where’s the fork in this road
Could you point me in the right direction
When I just wanna go where I’m known

(Chorus)
Where do these broken roads go
When does the light shine on down
Where do these broken roads go
And can one of these please take me home

Life is made up of all these roads
The trick’s to find which one keeps you going on and on
If you find one, please let me know
‘Cause I just want a place to call my own

(Chorus)
Where do these broken roads go
When does the light shine on down
Where do these broken roads go
And can one of these please take me home

[Bridge]
If home is where the heart is
Then I guess I’m just (still) lost at sea
Is there anybody out there
Who can give me the faith to believe

Time will dry all these tears of pain
But how can I not look without regret
I shall keep on this path of unknown
Just hope I can find my way home…

(Chorus) x2
Where do these broken roads go
When does the light shine on down
Where do these broken roads go
And can one of these please take me home

 

SILENT TEARS

Some people want the world
All for nothing
And we can destroy each other
When fear finds a way

(Pre-chorus)
But we can heal our pain
Like the sunshine after the rain

(Chorus)
The wounded crawl to hide inside us all
When our silent tears fall

In finding open doors
The darkness leaves a trail
With each flicker of the candle
The light is teaching us to dance

(Pre-chorus)
And we can touch the sky
Like the cloads that float on high

(Chorus)
The wounded crawl to hide inside us all
When our silent tears fall

(Solo)

(Chorus) x2
The wounded crawl to hide inside us all
When our silent tears fall
Yeah…

 

FADE AWAY

When the tears dry up
And the clouds seem to linger on
If the battle makes you weary
And the struggle/conflict keeps you lost
Cling to the passing of every moment
When there is fire on your road

(Chorus)
Only hope can make you strong
Believe in fate to make things right
And after all the stars have sung
It’s all going to fade away

Even the toughest man can fall apart
When choices are all we have
Take the wrong turns for the right ones
To bring us closer to what we need
Sometimes the changes we find the hardest
Will conquer darkness for room to breathe

(Chorus)
Only hope can make you strong
Believe in fate to make things right
And after all the stars have sung
We’re all going to fade away

[Bridge]
I keep on holding on
To all the colors you painted in my world
Unlocking endless thoughts
That melted through my dream of you

Life can be a test of blind faith
When we’re wading in a sea of doubt
I’ve watched you struggle in your silence
To find the lonely voice of reason
I hear your whisper, but cannot follow
While the door to your heart is closed

(Chorus)
Only hope can make you strong
Believe in fate to make things right
And after all the stars have sung
We’re all going to fade away (x3)

Fade away, fade away
We’re all going to fade away…
