1. The Light
Buckle up! Brace yourself!
For it seems
We’re all going for a ride
7 billion people praying
We’ll find a way
To cross this great divide
It’s gonna take every
Poet, politician, priest
And all the sinners in the dock
Well, it’s gonna take a miracle
It might just take
Everything we’ve got
Chorus
Well you can hide in the dark
Close your eyes to where we are
Or have them open, open wide
And keep on looking,
keep on looking for the light
We’re on the brink, we’re on the edge
We’re getting wise
To all the lies we don’t believe
And there are people rising up
There are people
Taking to the streets
Fight or flight, shout it out
Make it loud
It’s time that we were heard
Calling all the generations!
We have the power
To change the world
Chorus
Middle 8
Can you hear us, can you hear us?
We are calling out to you
Oh what’s is it gonna take?
Outro
The Fight, the cause,
The fear, the drive
We have to set it all alight
Oh can you hear us, hear us now?
All it takes is you and me
To decide and to believe
Just believe there’ll be a light

2. Something Is
Poisoning The Water
Something is poisoning the water
Something’s a clouding my view
I’m so very tired
Troubled and wired
Oh Lord, what am I gonna do?
Something’s courting my demons
Something’s got a hold of my nerve
There’s a crick in my neck
From the weight my head
Oh Lord, tell me who do I serve?
Bridge
And oh
How do you move through a wall?
I’m fighting myself in a war
How did I let it all
get under my skin?
There’s a bitter old taste
In these ruins
There’s grit
In the soles of my shoes
And fear is a liar
A thief and a friend
Oh Lord, tell me who do I choose?
I’ve been holding my breath
Under water
Swallowing thoughts
I can’t speak
My wings are locked
In this cage that I made
As I rage at the world at my feet
Bridge
Gonna write
On the walls of this tunnel
Beware of the freedom you seek
For I followed the will of my will
Oh Lord
And it brought me to my knees

3. Blazing Trail
How bitter the dust
Behind that blazing trail
How silent a voice
Against a choir
The world was turning
While you stood and judged
And you don’t know me
You don’t know me
Oh Lord
Shine your light
How did I fall from grace
When I was on the ground like you
Dodging the bullets and laying low?
You picked your battles
Well I fought I war
And you don’t know me
You don’t know me
Chorus
Ahhhh
Well blood is thicker
Than the skin you’ve shed
Trying to leave yourself behind
Cos all you left
Was your indifference
Your bitterness,
Your cruel, cold words
Your pain and your shame
Your blame and hurt
Your twisted up stories
And all of that silent rage
And oh Lord
Shine your light
Chorus
Ahhhh
Shine your light on me

4. Let It All Out
I know an old woman
Who swallowed a thought
Down with her tears
And a shot of her heart
I know it, I know it,
I know it ain’t good
Now she’s howling at the moon
I know a young man
Who likes to be right
Blaming and shaming
And ready for a fight
If he’d have let it, let it all go
He’d walk in the light
Take the weight off his soul
And say…
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let it all out
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let it al outl
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hear what I’m saying
Yeaaaaah
I know an old man
Who held in his heart
Riding his pride
‘Til it all fell apart
If he’d have set it,
Set it all free
He’d be basking in the sun
I know a young woman
Who twisted and turned
Scolding her soul
‘Til it blistered and burned
You’ve got to let it, let it all out
Take hold of your voice
Got to scream and to shout
And say…
Chorus
Middle 8
Let it all go, that heavy soul
It’s dragging you down
Yeah, it’s taking its toll
Speak out your truth
Is all you’ve got to do
Saving yourself
Well, it’s all up to you
Chorus

5. STOP!
Stop! Where are you going?
Where is it you’ve been?
Struck by the fear
That all that you need is already here?
Life, life is an old flame
A flickering faith game
Willing us on
Nobody really knows for how long
And what will you do with your time?
Will you let truth be your guide?
Or run from the fear in your soul?
Search for the love in each moment?
Stand, stand in your own light
Flow with your own tide
Let out your voice
Always remember you have a choice
Stop! Where are you going?
Where is it you’ve been?
Switch off your bright screens
Look to the sky
Nobody really knows
Why we’re here
Nobody really knows
Why we’re here

6. One And The Same
Twisting, turning, spinning, running
I don’t know where to begin
And I’m trying to have courage
But I think the sky is falling in
How did we get here?
I thought I saw you scatter into
Fifty million shards of light
And I watched an eagle souring
And I wondered
Were you in that flight
Are you closer now?
Bridge
Hear me, I hope you knew
I was proud to be a part of you
Chorus
Every time I let go of your hand
We would reach out again
Now I finally understand
We were one at the same
All the years when we lost our way
Disappeared into dust
And shining out like a brilliant flame
Are your wisdom and love
Oh, your wisdom and love
Go with you and with us
Sitting in the kitchen, talking science
And playing your guitar
Asking all those questions
Trying to figure out just who we are
Now I think I know
Bridge
Hear me, loud and clear
You will always be a part of here

7. I Will Run To You
Out in the Arctic night
Beyond the twinkling dance
Of the Northern Lights
I hear you call
Across the Baltic Sea
All that I love
Is reaching out for me
Saying ‘come, come home’
Chorus
And I will run to you
I will come for you
I will run to you
So we followed
The Great North Wind
Over the land
I need to understand again
I hear you call
Sailing the breath of time
On through the winter’s fog
Sleet, the ice, the snow
To the place I know
Chorus
Middle 8
For all that was lost
Was never really gone at all
So I’m coming back
Back to the land
Where it all began
And on this magical night of nights
The sky is electric and oh!
What a glorious site
The love of my life
Chorus / Outro
I said I would run to you
I would come for you
I would run to you
I would come for you
I will run to you
I will come, ‘til all is undone
Gonna get to your door
66 33 44
All in my sites,
For the love of my life
Yeah, yeah I’m running
For I will come for you
I will run to you
I will come for you
I will run to you

8. Winter
Under a paper white sky
The wind draws another deep breath
I spy a lone crooked branch
Glistening with ice
Here, all my world gone still
Here, I fell against my will
Bless me for what I’ve become
It seems I had no idea
Silently coming undone
‘Til I disappeared
Bridge
And I see
The moon rising over the water
Oh dear
where is it I’m going now?
Spiralling down
Chorus
Under this silent frozen lake
I hear the water
Saying ‘you’re going down’
Behind that calm familiar face
Keep it together
‘Cos you’re going down
Where is the girl I used to know?
She’s gently freezing
Under this snow
Waiting for life
To start again
I chose to not have a choice
A curious place I’m in
I seem to have misplaced my voice
Can anyone hear me?
I peer through this winters veil
Fear, well I know your name
Bridge
Chorus
Where is the girl I used to know?
She’s gently freezing
Under this snow
Waiting for life
To start again

9. Silent Year
Oh silent year
Oh silent year
We’re searching for our voice
We’ve hushed our songs
And tied our tongues
There was no other choice
Oh strangest time
Oh strangest time
The crowd has headed home
We’ve closed the door
Now we’re not sure
Who we have all become
Chorus
Somewhere I can hear a choir
Singing out in prayer
Even in this darkest hour
We will sing again
Oh lonely child
Oh lonely child
The world is on its head
Our smiles are veiled
We’ve separate sails
We cannot reach our friends
Oh heavy heart
Oh heavy heart
The courage of the brave
For all the doubt
For all the loss
All we have left is faith
Chorus
Somewhere I can see it all
The power and the grace
A million bodies move as one
For we will dance again
And even in this silent sigh
I hear the choirs sing
Rising up to fill the sky
For we will heal again
Bridge
And oh, oh the sight!
And oh, oh the sight!
Feel that ray of light
Burning bright
Burning bright
Chorus

10. I Will Soar
So,
I’m not as certain as I thought I was
And after the overture
And the applause
All that courage, all that steal
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Here,
Where all the years
Have rolled on quietly
In spite of faith
And fate and destiny
Seems somehow
I was always standing in the way
Of myself
Bridge
Somewhere I can hear it
A will that still wants more
Chorus
So I will soar
Up through the sky
And dare my wings to open wide
Cos I’m not done
So help me God
For I am more than bones and blood
And I will dive into this fire
Into these flames
And I
I Will burn
Until I burn my fears away
Until I, know that I’m alive
I want to feel it
I need to feel it
All racing through my veins,
Again
Smash the ceiling,
Break the mould
Spin the rubble into gold
Oh if I could figure out
How to let go of all this doubt
Then I could breathe
And I might still believe
Chorus
Middle 8
Everything I needed
To save my soul
Everything I wanted
Was everything I got, oh
This doubt, this faith,
This doubt, this faith
Is saying I can have it all
Have it all
