Let me walk under weight like waves, and Find the fool in the courage craved, I'll Run into the house as it’s burning I can make it to the morning So I'll find the revolution in a breath Square one always felt like the start of something beautiful I have been here before I can stand in my body like I own it So bring me my tomorrow I swear by my sorrow Her hopeful hands to bear me Bring me my tomorrow Light my sins in the lens of fault, let my Edges blur as I stand like salt, this Dead head vessel blind to the curtain Let the siren sing certain If I could be rid of this, I would in a breath My words are a whisper But at least I can call them mine Call out the warning More than a mantra I can make it to the morning So bring me my tomorrow I swear by my sorrow Her hopeful hands to bear me Bring me my tomorrow I know every word All this cold talk of redemption But the night can't hold a candle to shadows that I can’t overcome It was always there Growing louder yet Give me sight in the silence And God help me, give me sleep I know every word All this cold talk of redemption But the night can't hold a candle to shadows that I can't overcome It was always there Growing louder yet Give me sight in the silence And God help me, give me sleep This softness I'm waiting weightless for With only one thing more to ask these fragile bones in the end Was it gentle? 'Cause I need her to know But tomorrow hangs like a promise I can't keep it alone But I'll meet you there This softness I'm waiting weightless for With only one thing more to ask these fragile bones Stand and bring me my tomorrow Bring me my tomorrow I swear by my sorrow Her hopeful hands to bear me Bring me my tomorrow More More than the sum of scars More than the rope’s end More More than a call to arms More than the harm You’re more More than the damage done More than the hopeless More More than the dawn More than the end More than a mantra You

Quiet Letting the edges go Would I lose the sight of myself in you? Could I forget? Learn to forgive? And from that mountain view Would I see myself anew? Did the music die in the quiet? Did the music die in the quiet? Or did it give me room to resonate? To resonate When I am hate If I could resonate Quiet A moment's hope to lend A sign of life A second's silence to send While Ends over ends Whisper their tired suicides down that rope again Could I mend? Did the music die in the quiet? Did the music die in the quiet? Or did it give me room to resonate? To resonate When I am hate If I could resonate

Weaver, wait Beg the illness Plead for stillness where the mountain's made Run, you always run Like you need disaster Was it fate you're after? You run (You run), you always run Flee your fate to find it Run Precious nothing There's no heaven here There's your ocean rise A legacy in living A promise in an ending, triumphant Your ocean rise Setting sun The desert cannot drown the water Be the flood, be the ocean Weave away Standing still is for the fearless You were learning to run To burning lungs Death came as an ocean One with her wild devotion It's done The fight was won But foam and fury's in our blood So run just like you always run The desert cannot drown the flood It's your ocean rise A legacy in living A promise in an ending, triumphant Your ocean rise Setting sun The desert cannot drown the water Be the flood, be the ocean Be the flood, be the ocean Be the flood, be the ocean We rise into the epitaph An end to measure man We rise Here where the body shapes the mountain where you stand The ocean rises alive It's your ocean rise A legacy in living A promise in an ending, triumphant Your ocean rise Setting sun The desert cannot drown the water Be the flood, be the ocean

You were leading us into autumn You, the dream of the hopeful You were here to stay And you'll soon see that yours was the strong heart From youth to open arms Embrace all the change that was coming And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday We were only children The way forward, through And all we thought we knew You were dreamed by love into the world Truth, for the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday We were only human The way forward, through And all we thought we knew We knew You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward Before the change is through Change is coming When all I am is you Leading time to river's toil as the hollow takes shape Leading myth to mother soil Being made and unmade Oh, and change has always been this way Change has always been this way As light is ever sent over rubble to reign The all will always end where the nothingness stays Oh, and change was always on its way Change has always been this way (Change, the mother) Nothing falls into stillness Time is the motion (Change, the mother) In the sum of our silence Time waits for no one So who am I to stay the colours as they change? To call for silence in my pride And bring stillness to sunrise? You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward Before the change is through (Change is coming) When all I am is you You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward And I will wait ahead (Change is coming) To stand and mark the way

(This is the way) (This is the way) (This is the way) This is the way that we hand control to gravity's grip The way that it goes Before we can rise we must be laid low Bloodied, alive, I make it to my knees Only to pray they won't forget me Cast to the ground when I reached for the war (So climb) Rise in the rot and set the pace to stay The heart is the way where the markers were laid Higher again until we're leaving our own (We climb) The fight and the form The ever forward, mine Boot to the hold One tread at a time Hand over hand The path as it winds So climb So rise radiant You are the way You were born to the ascent So rise, my radiant With my pride, bear your heart into the end of me There is no death I am with you, my darling If I am breathing through you Death only is to wake With the face of our fathers below And no fear to follow the way forward Love There is no pride I am with you, my darling This is your time And so into your hands, I leave all that I could not reach You are the worlds colliding The sail unfurls We have all been building worlds Forward Like loss could colour cloud and distance edify A farewell to sunrise The decaying heartbeat of the sky So as the hills drink deep We watch survivors trace their old calligraphy In blood Forward, with all I took with me A spite of my design Too long the lesson All it took to leave my hate to lie What a privilege it is to watch the day's last colour die Teaching us to climb Forward now Through Forward now Through And into your hands, I leave all that I could not reach You are the worlds colliding We built a world Your sails unfurled Forward now Through Forward now Through The way is forward The fall will take form into ascent You are the sun, ascend Rise radiant Become the light alive The fight and the climb The strife, the day We are the sun Rise radiant My love the way forward The fall will take form into ascent You are the sun, ascend Rise radiant Become the light alive The fight and the climb The strife, the day We are the sun Rise radiant, my love

In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'Cause somewhere there's a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's gonna be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up Gotta walk out of here I can't take anymore Gonna stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no one needs Don't give up You still have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong

I don't want to say, "I love you" That would give away too much It's hip to be detached and precious Only thing you feel is vicious I don't want to say, "I want you" Even though I want you so much It's wrapped up in conversation It's whispered in a hush Though I'm frightened by the words Think it's time I made it heard No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Year's resolution It's more than that Now, I wake up happy Warm in a lover's embrace No one else can touch us While we're in this place So I'll sing it to the world This simple message to my girl No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Year's resolution It's more than that Though I'm frightened by the words Think it's time I made it heard So I'll sing it to the world A simple message to my girl No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Year's resolution It's more than that Oh, there's nothing quite as real As the touch of your sweet hand I can't spend the rest of my life Buried in the sand
