LOVE IS GREATER THAN I’ve got a vision That lives deep in my soul Some days it’s bigness Can make me feel small Until I remember All that I can hold And the reason why I came So I take a leap of faith Trust that Love will catch me Catch me if I fall Cause I believe that Love Is greater than it all Love is greater than Love is greater than it all Love is greater than Love is greater than it all This life can be a mission To heal until we’re whole Some say “we’re only human” We’re learning as we go To feel our way through All the pain we’ve known But it’s really just a game Might as well enjoy while we play Trust that Love will catch us Catch us if we fall Cause who we are is Love Is greater than it all Love is greater than Love is greater than it all Love is greater than Love is greater than it all I don’t wanna wait any longer And this war within me Is getting stronger by the day Now there’s only one way Just show up and say: “I love who I am, I love who i was And who i’m becoming” because Love is greater than Love is greater than it all Love is greater than Love is greater than it all Love is greater than The pain and suffering i’ve known Love is greater than the days When I feel all alone Love is greater than everything Love is greater

For You 05:02
FOR YOU I would climb the highest mountain Just to see you smile And I would find a hundred thousand Ways to show my Love For You… For You For You… For You I would tear down all the walls That stand between our Hearts I would search to the ends of the earth There's no distance too far For You… For You For You… For You Don't you worry about a thing my darlin' Look up ahead there's only sunshine comin' Here we go, we're gonna keep on growin' Every step, we're gonna let more Love in Let more Love in (Let more love in) Let more Love in (Let more love in) Let more Love in (Let more love in) Let more Love in We were chosen For this moment Gift to open We get to live We were given This True Love and It's enough It's ours to give And keep on growin’ I would wait as long as it takes To see the clear blue sky Til’ all the gray lifts away And all the colours come to life For You… For You For You… For You There's nothing I wouldn't do For you… For you There's nothing I wouldn't do For you… For you I love you so much You don't even know, love You don't even know how much I love you so much You don't even know, love You don't even know how much

Listen 03:54
LISTEN Have you heard a word I said? Or are you all up in your head, now? Thinking about what’s coming next So we keep on disconnected Can you let the feeling rise? Without the need to run or hide Just allow the bloody mess Hold the space and take a breath All I’m asking Is for you to listen Til’ there’s nothing left to say And I don’t need to change a thing I’ve been waiting my whole life For you to wake up and realize What loving really is Embracing and accepting I can understand your pain And why you did what you did Now i’m ready to forgive So let’s start over again All I’m asking Is for you to listen Til’ there’s nothing left to say And I don’t need to change a thing Won’t you listen, now? Won’t you listen? (Won’t you listen?) (Won’t you listen?) All I’m asking Is for you to listen Til’ there’s nothing left to say And I don’t need to change Won’t you listen? Won’t you listen? All I’m asking Is for you to listen Til’ there’s nothing left to say And I don’t need to change

Pain 04:42
PAIN Sometimes it’s hard To open up my heart and let the love All the way in, all the way out But I know that’s what life’s all about And right now it’s hard And I just wish I could go back to being a kid Cause no one wants to see a grown man cry But I can’t hold it in, no I can’t lie I’ve got this pain Deep in my chest It won’t go away It won’t let me rest Oh this pain, pain will be my death Unless I learn, learn to accept That sometimes it’s hard And sometimes it brings us to our knees Askin’ “Why?” Beggin’ please Let this pass This hurt I feel inside Cause I can’t run anymore No, i can’t hide From this pain Deep in my chest No matter how much I pray It won’t let me rest, won’t let me rest Oh Lord this pain, pain will be my death Unless I choose, choose to accept Sometimes it’s hard And alll I need, all I need Si the the courage to hold what’s achin’ in me Let it be, until I’m free Free from this pain Deep in my chest I’ve tried everything Still I can’t, I can’t rest Oh this pain, pain will be my death Unless I learn, learn to accept Let it burn, til there’s nothin’ left

Golden 04:29
GOLDEN Sometimes I feel like I’m losing ground On the life I thought I would have by now There’s a place in me deep in my heart and bones Where I ache to see what i’ve always know Yeah that feeling like the birds are flying High above the trees that fill the forest And it’s bathed in light Like the sun that’s coming up on a new moment Heaven’t present and it’s golden And there’s no time, just us and life We’re One… One. Sometimes it seems like we’re losing touch With who we could be if we lead with love Live from the place that exists in both of us Where we never lose faith, where we never lose trust Yeah that feeling like the butterflies Are fluttering inside our love is flowin’ The tides are rising The waves are crashing down and breaking All the walls have fallen gates are open And there’s no fight, just us and life We’re One… One… We’re One… One… Sometimes I dream that we’re floating free From the burdens that weigh us down and come between Who we are in our deepest hearts Who we’ve been since before the start Yeah that feeling the heat inside The center of the fire, flames are roaring And the sparks ignite From the ethers to the here and now Through the ashes feel and hear the sound, behold it Til there’s no plight, just us and life We’re One… One.

Unleash 05:30
UNLEASH I’ll suspend my disbelief As long as you lead I’ll trust a little deeper If you open my eyes to see I’ve been carryin’ this grief Does it even belong to me? I’m ready to open wide Ready to release So much of what I feel All the ways that I be I was taught to hide away Felt like I couldn’t breathe Now i’ve got to take a chance Bettin’ it all on me This time I’mma let it ride Settin’ myself free Who am i trying to please? It’s either you or me I’d rather tell the truth And let myself unleash Hey hey Who am I trying to be? What permission do I need? Nothin’ else really matters now As long as I believe I believe I believe I pretended all this time That I’m some kind of weak But i’ve got the power My own electricity I kept all inside Can they really handle me? I’m ready to stoke the fire Full intensity It’s a force of nature Like a wild untamed beast A hunger I can’t deny Famine to feast Comin’ home to my desire No apologies Time to take what’s mine Settin’ myself free, hey hey Who am i trying to please? It’s either you or me I’d rather tell the truth And let myself unleash Hey hey Who am I trying to be? What permission do I need? Nothin’ else really matters now As long as I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe (Ooooh… hit me with the truth) (Singin Ooooh’.... You can hit me with it) (Ooooh… hit me with the truth) (Singin Ooooh’.... You can hit me with it) Show me who you are I wanna know What is real And what’s for show Listenin’, listenin’ Once and for all Listenin’, listenin’ Once and for all (Ooooh… hit me with the truth) (Singin Ooooh’.... You can hit me with it) (Ooooh… hit me with the truth) (Singin oooh’....

Back To Love 04:51
BACK TO LOVE We’ve had our differences Arguing, pointing fingers, oh the blamin’ The name callin’ But deep down underneath it all You and me who we really are, the same So let’s make peace and remember It all comes back It all comes back to Love To love We can keep our distances Keep on judging, holding grudges, separatin’ Unless we break the silence Get down to the heart of the matter We’re connected, true reflections, no escapin’ So let’s face each other come together It all comes back It all comes back to Love To love I don’t know about you But I don’t want to be two I would rather be One Imagine what we could become I would rather not fight, no I don’t need to be right, so Let’s let nothing divide us Instead let’s amplify Love It all comes back It all comes back to Love To love In our hearts the more we listen Learn to practice forgiveness Here it comes again division Nothin’s stopping our mission Yeah, we’re gonna go the distance Cause in truth we’ve got no limits Guided by our intuition We’re the new rebel resistance It all comes back Oh It all comes back to Love To love It all comes back It all comes back to Love To love

In Joy 04:43
IN JOY Well, this seems like one of those days Where everything’s gonna be amazing What could possibly go wrong? If we keep on rollin’ along And just let it flow like the waves Dancin’ on the shore as they break I imagine that they’re celebrating If they had a voice they would sing Let’s just enjoy this moment While we have it, we’ve still got it Whether we’re coming or we’re going Let’s just breathe in and believe it Cause there’s magic and miracles all around Just take one look up at the stars and feel the ground Beneath our feet, we’re so lucky We’re a part of these true mysteries There’s a rainbow of colours that comes from the clouds After the rain and the golden rays keep shinin’ down on us No matter what we do we’re loved There’s no way, not one, we could mess this up so… Let’s just enjoy this moment While we have it, we’ve still got it Whether we’re coming or we’re going Let’s just breathe in and believe it And there’s nothing impossible unless we say it is And if we can think of it, we can create it So what kind of world are we gonna make? I dream of one where Love is King And Queen, I’m gonna treat you The very best I can, I’ll give my all use my two hands Whatever you need, you can count on me I’ll be there by your side so come now let’s go for a ride Let’s just enjoy this moment While we have it, we’ve still got it Whether we’re coming or we’re going Let’s just breathe in and believe it Oh does it really have to end? I wish this could last forever Oh I’ve got so many more questions Where do we go to next and what comes after? How do we ever really know? How do we love and let go? So let’s sing Hey hey Hey, hey Let’s just enjoy this moment While we have it, we’ve still got it Whether we’re coming or we’re going Let’s just breathe in and believe it
