'Carry Me Tonight'

She was my muse - Left me dazed and confused
Like the day that we first met

She held my song - She always sang along
But the tune was just too strong

Distant as the sun - Yet she burned in my bones
Within my dreams she made a home

She never looked in to my eyes - If she did, she’d know why
I was crazy on this love

Chorus
Carry me tonight - Be the air - Be the light
Carry me tonight - Sing of love - Sing of life
-Carry me tonight - Stop the world - Dry your eyes-

Engraved in my soul - This muse left me whole
A troubadour’s delight

With time on her side - She chose to abide
To the moral law of life - blinded

She longs from afar - Waiting for her bard
As she baths in every verse

Naked as this song - She lingers like a poem
I feel her in my bones

Bridge
Bone of my bone - Flesh of my flesh
The story’s seldom told

Soul touches soul - Spirit touches life
This muse will arise

'In The Light'

You have seen me - heard my cry and we dance - in the light
Knowing love we find forgiveness - breathe out the past

Chorus
Breathing out our pain
We surrender to the dance
Reaching out past the fear
We find hope in the light - in the light

We have overcome the storm - found peace - once again
Giving up our selfish hands we kneel in the light

Rap
You can laugh at the truth and beg for the rain
You can sing about life and push down the pain
But where is the hope - Where is fire
Where is that drive - Do you keep it inside
Or in the light - In the dance

We’ve held this long and danced through the pain
We can’t give up - We can’t turn back
There’s higher ground - Life to be found
The struggles - The sweat - The sorrow
Through conflict - collision and chaos

You continue to live - succeed - achieve - deliver
You continue to dance
Cause you choose to breathe - You breathe

'Find Your Love'

I was lost somewhere - Between the lighting and the storm
Between heaven and your eyes - Your eyes
I was lost somewhere - Between the moon and the night
Between the ashes and the sea - Till I found your love

Chorus
I found you through a song - A fighting symphony
I wanna find you holding me
Would you crawl through the pain - Hold strong through the fire
To find your love in me

I wanna find your love - Find your love in me
I wanna find your love - Find your love in me

I was reaching out - Reaching through the earth
To find you in the light - In the dark
I was reaching out - With scars upon my hands
These wounds speak loud - Of how I found your love
