I cut my head
Open on a dream
Didn't get much sleep last night
And come the early morning
I used to patch myself, and lock it back up tight
And I don't remember
Owing you an inch
It's me that's in control
But darling, if you can read my lips you can read my soul
You think you know me now
I'm still brushing off the dust of the old me now
I'm gonna live my life and let my light
Gonna live my life and let my light shine through
And I never had
A soft thought in my life
So I'm not speaking soft words anymore
And if you've got a voice you better use it
Never back down and lose it baby
Gotta let your light shine brighter than before
So now
Now now now now that I've figured out that I am someone
You can sit in my silence or drown in my words by the time I'm done
You think you know me now (you think you know me now)
I'm still brushing off the dust of the old me now (of the old me now)
I'm gonna live my life and let my light
Gonna live my life and let my light shine through
Oooh you never saw me coming
And I'll back down for nothing
And you never saw me coming
And I won't back down, no I won't back down, no!
Starting now
Gonna let my light (gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light (I'm gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light come shining on through (gonna let my light)
Starting now (starting now)
Gonna let my light
Gonna let my light (gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light come shining on through (gonna let my light)
Starting now

Smile

I see it all laid out like a summer sky (like a summer sky)
I want to know the best kind of feeling alive (feeling alive)
I'm gonna wake up with your smile (with your smile)
And I'll come crashing in with style
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
The beautiful world is turning
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to you
Put your heart on the line
And smile, 'cause you don't have to worry
Smile, 'cause everything's just fine
Don't try to build a bridge that's already burning (already burning)
No joy setting out and so much in returning (so much in returning)
Oh, I'm gonna set my time by the warmth in your eyes (warmth in your eyes)
I'm trying freedom on for size
So c'mon and bring your love into the room
I think we've earned this one (I think we've earned this now)
I'd rather live and die by the pen and not the gun
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
The beautiful world is turning
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to you
Put your heart on the line
And smile, 'cause you don't have to worry
Smile, 'cause everything's just fine
Smile
Put your heart on the line
And smile, 'cause you don't have to worry
Smile, 'cause everything's just fine
I'm gonna wake up with your smile
And I'll come crashing in with style
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
The beautiful world is turning
Oh, can you feel it?
I know you can feel it too
I'm coming home, yes I'm coming home!

Good Morning

When I came, you were doing fine
Draw the boundaries of what is you and what remains is mine
Where I go
Where I go
Is here, there, nowhere fast
When it rains, you'll make your garden grow
No matter if it lives forever, it's not for us to know
Where I go
Where I go
Is here, there, nowhere fast
We'll look out for each other, every day and night
When they say life is for the living I think they might be right
Where I go
Where I go
Is better than the past
Fellow traveler
How do you do?
Fellow traveler
Are we both just passing through?
Where do you go?
Well you brought me here, when I was fast asleep
The love that I had borrowed is now all yours to keep
Where we go
Where we go
We're getting there at last
Fellow traveler
How do you do?
Fellow traveler
Are we both just passing through?
Where do you go?
When I came, you were doing fine
Draw the boundaries of what is you and what remains is mine
Where I go
Where I go
Is here, there, nowhere fast

Your world-weary heart is breaking down and fading fast
But don't you cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry
And your chaotic mind is far away and closing in
But you'll get by, you'll get by, oh you'll get by
(Are you losing) a feeling slowly slipping from your hands?
(Are you fighting) a darkness that you're scared you don't understand?
You're not giving up and you're letting go
Of the sorrow and heartache and God only knows
And we'll piece it together with each passing day
'Cause the sun always rises and you'll be okay
And I'll pick you up
And I'll lay you down
So if your lonely soul is losing hope and calling out
I'll be by your side now, I'll be by your side
If your tired body's carrying that weight
You don't need to hide, you don't need to hide from me
(Are you losing) a feeling slowly slipping from your hands?
(Are you fighting) a darkness that you're scared you don't understand?
You're not giving up and you're letting go
Of the sorrow and heartache and God only knows
And we'll piece it together with each passing day
'Cause the sun always rises and you'll be okay
'Cause a change gonna come, and then one fine day
You'll finally find freedom from feeling this way
Somewhere you got lost and somewhere you'll be found
And I promise to help you up off of the ground
I'll pick you up
I'll pick you up (somewhere you got lost)
And then I'll lay you down (somewhere you'll be found)
I'll lay you down
And then I will pick you up again baby (and I promise to help you up off of the ground)
Until you feel alright, until you feel alright (and I promise to help you up off of the ground)
Until you feel alright yeah, until you feel alright (and I promise to help you up off of the ground)
