1. Harvest Day

In this self-made prison I'm dying…
God help me!

My days of "life" have faded into distant memories
Resurrect my youth, I have been holding on
In Your light I pray to wash away the shame
Bleed my sorrow or take my soul today

I'm falling, drowning in tragedy
When will peace be returned to me?

In your soil of life I planted seeds of tomorrow
For all my light will bloom and purge your sorrow
When you are wise enough to accept the truth
I will bring you back all of your youth

"Rain, come again
Fall upon my son today and bring him new life"
Harvest day – dry your tears
And walk in my daylight again

Harvest day?
Could this really be the end of my disarray?
Harvest day
Another chapter of you has been written today

Harvest day?
Could this really be the end of my disarray?
Harvest day
Another chapter of you will be done

"Rain, come again
Fall upon my son today and bring him new life"
Harvest day – dry your tears
And walk in my daylight again

Today the sorrow shall end
The sun is searing through
Life has returned to you

2. Let Me Die Young

Shroud me from my despair
In a time when I should have the world at my feet
Some 'angels' cry when given their wings too soon in life
Remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

Release your weight
I'll never let you give up today

Now I've seen Heaven on Earth
I've kissed the face of hell and lived to tell
I know you're with me always until the end
When heaven opens for me just let me die young
Let me die young

So lost inside this tangled web of life
Breaking daylight much too late
This lonely silence is deafening
Re-thread the strand and set your soul free

Release the blame
For I am a better way
And can ease your pain

Now I've seen Heaven on Earth
I've kissed the face of hell and lived to tell
I know you're with me always until the end
When heaven opens for me just let me die young
Let me die young

At the edge of another revolution?
This I will not say
How much longer until our oblivion?
I will pull you home before that day
And you should know you will be OK

Now I've seen Heaven on Earth
I've kissed the face of hell and lived to tell
I know you're with me always until the end
Heaven is open for me now
Let me die young
Let me die young

Let me die young
Let me die young
Let me die young

3. Shield Me

Release your tears, I'm a soldier sent to shield you
I watch over you more than you will ever know
Now purge all your fear –
Your own weapons fight against you
Let me be your guide

So broken and afraid
How will I spread my wings again?

Silence and blind the whispers to all fade and die
If I fight the wars for you they will never end
Ignore all the lies, all the warfare from inside
Quiet your mind

Shield me inside so I can breathe new life
A 'stargazer' in my own mind
Shield me with an early, warm falling rain
Walk through the door I open for you
I'll light the way

Now here on your wall tall I stand
Cross over heart, tomorrow in my hand
For I will shroud you and suffer your pain
And heal your broken heart

Shield me inside onto a distant land
Rebuild my temple from a grain of sand
Shield me with a midnight falling rain
A new dawn is waiting for you…
"Morning… Rise!"

Shield me inside before I say goodbye
Guiding the way with a final sign
Shield me with another warm falling rain
Now the war is over for you
Go and light the way

4. Only Human

I'll never let you suffer, I will be right there to heal you
And when you cry, I am by your side to dry your eyes
When you are alone, listen closely for my voice
And then there will be nothing left to fear

I can fell so much change in me now
Heaviness is fading from my heart

I know I cannot change the world
But I can change the way I live today
I never want to forget where I came from
So remember now – you're only human

I will let you fall so I can mend and rebuild you
But when you fail, I retest you then progress you
Just open your mind to what I am teaching you
Then I promise never to let go
Remember to forgive yourself
I have already forgiven you

I know I cannot change the world
But I can change the way I live today
I never want to forget where I came from
So remember now – you're only human

Your world that I made
Came with a price to be paid
You are the light of me young man
You will never be the same

Carry me today
Let me breather you in so deep
I am only a breath away

I know I cannot change the world
But I can change the way I live today
I never want to forget where I came from
So remember now – you're only human
I know I cannot save the world
But I am only human
You're only human
For I have written, so it will be done
A kaleidoscope of beauty will fill your life
So remember now – you're only human

5. Moonrise

Far above the morning desert sands below you
And beyond the Indian-painted sun that rises above
Is a light that shines upon you and guides you through the night
Leading the way with my lunar light

This is only a glimpse of what you can expect to see
Bu not right away
You still need time to grow

Moonrise – let your light guide the way home
Don't mourn the day the dream will die
Chase your horizons in the "once" upon a time

Step outside your mind
Let you soul guide you
For it already knows the way home, remember?
For you will reveal
Upon the shoulders of giants stands a man

Before me lies an autumn Mayan sky
Where I watched you smiling down
Shrouding me with the beauty of your world

Dreams at peace at the horizon
And remember what brought you here
Now open your eyes you're not dreaming
I have returned you home

Step outside your mind
Let your soul guide you
For you have revealed
Upon the shoulders of giants stands a man

"Moon – Rise!"

Moonrise – let your light guide the way home
Don't mourn the day the dream will die
Chase your horizons in this…
Moonrise – I will mend your wings so you can fly
To where my earthly angels shine
Chase your horizons in the "twice" upon a time

Open your eyes
You're not dreaming

6. Godless

Why do so many fear your name?
They're bearing guilt for what they disbelieve
But you were never taught how to love or to have faith
I can help you find the way

So many times in life where science has failed you
Playing God with your emotions
Trying to deceive you by hiding me and my word
Oh, but what can I do?

Break the bread of life still unbroken
I'm godless!
Godless!

Rise above deception
With the words I have given you
For I am losing my creation
Show the world my love
For they only divide and hate

Godless?
Godless!

I will show you your dreams
That you never know you had
Then bring them to life before your very eyes
If you would only let me try

OK, so why do so many kill in your name?
They are fueled by greed and misdirection
Their contradictions bastardize my words every day
I know why you turned the other way

Rise above deception
With the words I have given you
For I am losing my creation
Show the world my love
For they only divide and hate… the world

I do believe this is from Heaven!
It's not too late
You can make a difference
But you're running out of time

Godless?

7. Once We Believed

I still try to smile but you would never let me learn to fly
Or change the way I view the world
How can I believe that my dawn will come
When I've fallen so hard today?

Please bring me a change
Or take me home today
I don't know what else I can do
So I surrender once and for all

I have been waiting for you

Now you will grow so very strong
And know that one day you will become everything you want to be
You never thought that you would ever see the day
Where I would be guiding you
Providing your way

No, the tears you cry are not your own
In solitude you are never alone

Spread you wings for the world to see
All chains are broken
Once you believe in me

I can feel you opening your world to me
Today your nightmares become sweet dreams
Nothing will ever stay the same
You prayed for a change to come and take you away
Time is never kind but faith is always on your side

Will we ever stop to bask
In what we've done with our lives
And what we have become?
Tell me – what have I become?
Tell me – what will we ever become?

Spread your wings for the world to see
All chains are broken
Once you believe in me
Fly now life begins anew
Our world has been opened
Once we believed in you

8. Twice Upon A Time

Once dead and soulless, I was so alone
And broken until you saved me
On the day I needed you the most
At the edge of my oblivion
But you sent them to me on my darkest day

Can you see and hear what is left of me?
Dead or alive, reunite me!

By you they carry me beyond my internal wars
Of emptiness and despair
Trusting me with their lives in my hands
Don't ever bury your head in the sand

Can you see and hear what is left of me?
Dead or alive, reunite me!
Shield me from this fear that is killing me!
End this lie and this tragedy now!

Twice upon a time
Once out of reach, now in the palm of your hand
Twice upon a time in Heaven as it was on Earth
Alive, strong and unbroken

Twice upon a time
Once out of reach, now in the palm of your hand
Twice upon a time in Heaven as it was on Earth
Once upon a time – distance can't divide you and me
Twice upon a time – distance can't divide, you will see

(The Enemy)
"Stare into my barrel
There is no one to save you
I will corrupt you – body, mind and soul
Your prayers will never be heard
Your 'god' has forsaken you"

No!

By my wounds you have been redeemed
My blood has been shed for you
Remember, the snake will always lie
He has no authority, resist!

Now you will smile again
When the mourning is gone
And I will heal your broken heart
And bring them back into your arms

You will love them again
Another time in a better world
Where your hearts will be filled with life
Twice upon a time

9. All Is Now Forgiven

All is not yet forgiven

Why can't I ever seem to let go?
Still I'm holding on
And why does a part of me die when I have to say goodbye?
Reflecting on fond memories of what you've left behind
Please show me what I must do today

One day soon not far from now you will learn my truth
The world below is your shine stage in this short play of 'life'
From behind the curtain we watch and wait

But all is not forgiven

Do not waste your tears in mourning anymore
For this is a part of your life that you must endure
Self-destruction and apathy will never mend your wounds
But I can only help you now

No, it was not your time to go
But I will never lose my faith
No, it was not your time to go
I need you to help me heal
I can't do it on my own
No, it was not your time to go
So until we meet again?
I will see you soon again my friend
Until then, I must say goodbye
You will see signs and gifts left behind
So know they will always be with you

All is now forgiven

No, it was not your time to go
So until we meet again

10. Waiting For The Sky To Fall

Distant skies of warm sunlight rise
Peering through this second morning rain
Your first sign of life after so many tears
Be still and listen for what you cannot "hear"

Don't let me live in fear of tomorrow
Or drown in a sea of haunting memories

Now open you heart
Don't burden your soul with what will go wrong
But how long before I die?
Embrace your life
The sun will still rise
While you're waiting for the sky to fall

Peel away the mask that I wore for years
That hid all of my secrets, hope and fears
Bring me hope in tomorrow, and what lies ahead
You've awakened my soul- I'll be your voice

Don't let me live in fear of tomorrow
Or drown in a sea of haunting memories

Now open your heart
Don't burden your soul with what will go wrong
But how long before I die?
Embrace your life
The sun will rise after all
So once and for all
Stop waiting for the sky to fall

Heal me, release me
Scars still remain but
Nothing can bring back the shame
Shroud me, absolve me
A new hope begins today
Just a promise away

Now open y our heart
Don't burden your soul with what will go wrong
But how long before I die?
Embrace your life
The sun will rise after all
So once and for all
Stop waiting for the sky to fall

You were waiting
Waiting
You were waiting
So once and for all
Stop waiting for the sky to fall

11. And Then There Was One

My heart, it bleeds now for all that I've lost
I thought I was the only one left in my life
Alone I lie waiting for you to bring me home
So please show me a sign

Why do I cry whenever I pray?
How can I smile when I think of yesterday?
Maybe because I know deep down in my soul
You can hear me and always by my side

Memories are everything to me now
But I can still feel you here protecting me

Dear God, please send us your Son
I know you can see what your world has become
Sorrow still remains with so much to be done

And then there was one!
And then there was one? No!

God grant me serenity that I once had
And all the wisdom that I gave away
You gave me the strength to carry the weights
Of those who cannot carry their own

And then there was one? No!

Dear God, please send us your Son
I know you can see what your world has become
Sorrow still remains with so much to be done

And then there was one!
And then there was one? No!

I can feel you so close
I can hear the sound of your voice
(Angel)
"Don't be afraid!
I have been sent here to bring you home."

Once you were so afraid, waiting for the sky to fall
Now gaze down at the sand, at the footprints that surround you

Look beside and find familiar sets of two
And look before you, far ahead, and adore
Standing all around you as I open the gates
Welcoming you into eternity
Are all your loyal sets of four

12. Soulrise

[Part I – Coming home]

All my life I never believed
That peace would feel surreal
On my last day when all would become so real

Bring me back to where I was "born"
To the world I knew
Long before I became who I "am"

Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain
Falling from beneath our feet from Heaven
Where I watch you sleep

Prepare to leave this world behind
Quiet your heart and listen closely for a sign

Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain
Falling from beneath our feet from heaven
Where I watch you sleep

Heaven never sleeps
Here we will watch the rain fall

Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain
Falling from beneath our feet from Heaven
Where I watch you sleep

Heaven never sleeps
Here we will watch the rain fall

Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain
Falling from beneath our feet from heaven
Where I watch you sleep

Soon your soul will rise – rise today
On angel wings you will fly – fly away

[Part II – Beyond the Firmament]

Dream now as I lay you down to sleep
Rest your eyes and feel my peace
Rise now and be release
My angels are bringing you home to me

Let your soul rise
Your longing is over
I will deliver you back to me
To my ivory towers

Let your soul rise
Above the earth, moon, sun and sky
Beyond the firmament you will fly…
Soon it will be done
Let my soul rise

[Part III – Welcome Home]

Now I know nothing lost is ever gone
And nothing gone is ever lost forever
Allow yourselves to heal for I have said
Life and love will never end

Above the earth, moon, sun, and sky
I had seen miracles before my very eyes
Because of you today I will finally have my wings
I've waited so long
You spared me the time to say my goodbyes
And now I will close my eyes…

Rise…
Soul rise
Soul rise, soul…
Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul…
Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul…
Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul…

I have opened the gates for you my son
And I have prepared a place for you
Welcome home!

[Part IV – Reunion]
