TRANSATLANTIC LYRICS

1. Overture

[Instrumental]

2. Reaching for the Sky

Where were you when everyone
Crashed and burned and fell into the silence of the sun
With nothing to be done

And where are all the seats preferred
And all the wisemen winding up the wisest of all words
And love like dinner served

But now we're wondering at the warning
Look ahead, is the future falling down?

All along there was a time
That was following behind
Where you give yourself away
Yeah all along there was an eye
As the storm flew by
And your heart is like a whirlwind
Yeah your heart is like a whirlwind
Reaching for the sky

Another mask, a day, a night
Another task to justify the reason for your life
Don't look left man, don't look right

Now we're all locked away inside
Will we come out like miners excavating in the light
The timing must be right
What you're feeling you can't express it
You hit the streets and you get arrested
You want to scream but you can't so you press it down

All along there was a time
That was following behind
Where you give yourself away
Yeah all along there was an eye
As the storm flew by
And your heart is like a whirlwind
Yeah and your heart is like a whirlwind
Reaching for the sky

Far and away, I thought I'd be closer now
The place of knowing is far and away from me
Maybe someday when all the wind dies down
Love will come calling but it's far and away from me
Now...

3. Higher Than the Morning

Belong, belong, better to belong

Selfishness is only one more aspect of the rain
And some convince you that it's virtuous
They say the ego needs to run without restrain
And other people are superfluous

There is some truth that you are trying to decide
Then you convince yourself you're one of them
The true creators to opinions they have died
Howard Roark and you are like supermen

Climb higher than the morning
Winds fly without a warning to the night

The cities gather all the vultures of the night
Hungry for a little sweet to taste
You are right in it but somehow you are outside
Watching moles lay other souls to waste

It's so revolting, either that or you're amused
To see what those objects do out there
From out of boredom you partake but you're confused
You're not so great as you once thought you were

Climb higher than the morning
Clouds gather without warning
Climb higher than the morning
Winds fly without a warning always

Here there is a fire
There deep as desire
Far and away from me

Reach there in the quiet
Seek and you will find it
Right where it's said to be

4. The Darkness in the Light

Now that he's gone you can finally find out what went wrong
There's a new deck of cards, but the smell of foul play lingers on
Light as a feather you testify - a blood red tide - hang out to dry
Right in the middle and you think you can't stand the heat

You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light
You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light

All that was decent is void and lost to this world
Seems like all of the glory will finally give in and burn
You're on the dark side but you wait for the warmth of the sun
It all feels so different when you've lost the touch and you're blind

You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light
You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light

You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light
You seek the blackness in the white
You see the darkness in the light

5. Take Now my Soul

I watched as the lights went down on Main Street
And all the bootstrap people fled in tears
When summer comes we'll dance again, oh yes we will
But the moistened heat could not subside our fears

So take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home

I've been through times when the desert got the best of me
And loneliness became my only friend
Now here we are in isolated dissonance
With some among us longing for the end

So take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin'

Take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home

6. Looking for the Light

Summer came, winter's gone
Your sun will set before too long
Everyone's got a secret disguise

You thought you were the Bowie Nazz
Your Howard Roark's a sorry spaz
You rip off even songs you despise

You're deep into the night
Looking for the light
You're deep into the night
Looking for the
Looking for the light

Black is black and blood is red
The ego is the fountainhead
Here the human race is all wrong

You could be the greatest still
Forget the world and set your will
Only the helpless need to belong

You're deep into the night
Looking for the light
You're deep into the night
Looking for the
Looking for the light

7. Love Made a Way (Prelude)

Love made a way
When there was no way out
When sadness came calling
Love made a way for me, yeah

Maybe someday
I thought I might end myself
And just in a moment
Love made a way for me

8. Owl Howl

Blackbird, blackbird - what have you done?
Under the moon, old smoking gun
Silhouette of thin boys and girls
That disappear into the underworld

Pale moon in the land of loss
Paper thin are the doors of loss

As she comes and take you away
The night is cold and everlasting
Orchestrator of chaos and dismay
Hollow the halo - and empty the laughter

9. Solitude

When it came it was far worse than expected
For many nights and days and days
So I curled up in my comfortable place
And huddled with my possessions
And wondered what is worth fighting for
When I felt so far away

There in the dark with my solitude
Looking for answers to questions why
Asking myself, what will I become?
Searching for clues that will ease my mind

So I locked the doors and I turned off all devices
And I seemed to live in metaphors in oh so many ways
And in the darkest dead of night
I came to a conclusion
There was only one solution
That could help me find a way

There in the dark with my solitude
Finding the answers to questions why
But there's a fire in my soul and it's burning now
To fight for my life and be homeward bound

Love made a way
When I was broken down
Out in the shadows
And love made a way for me

Far and away
I think I got closer now
I'm making some headway
And it's feelin' alright to me

10. Belong

Be long, be long - better to belong
Be long, be long - better to belong
Move on, move on - better to move on
We are ready to move on

See the millions waiting for the sun
Move on, move on - better to move on

Dig it again, dig it again

11. Can you Feel It

Can you feel it all around you?
It's an ocean like the sun
Where the spirit soul surround you
And the turnkey farmers run

Say can you see where you are?
You're out and about
You better stay in the green
Before real life wakes up and finds you out

Can't you see it all around you?
It's a moment in the heart
Let each guidance make you fuller
Where you stop that's where you'll start

Say can you see where you are?
You're out and about
You better stay in the green
Before real life wakes up and finds you out

Say can you see where you are?
In the dead of night
You've spent some days in the destiny of a better life
Now is the time to arrive
And you're out and about
You better stay in the green
Before real life wakes up and finds you out
Finds you out

12. Looking for the Light (Reprise)

Some will say the self is best
The only truth is selfishness
There's nothing more than this flesh and bone

Well, I lived that life and testified
Dwelled among the sons of pride
It only left me cold and alone

Don't sink into the night
Keep looking for the light
Don't sink into the night
Keep looking for the
Looking for the light

13. The Greatest Story Never Ends

As every storybook must surely start to close
We see the message that they send
But as every one of us alive already knows
The greatest story never ends

14. Love Made a Way

Where were you when always turned to maybe?
I was locked inside the wreckage of my life
You could have left me there to make it on my own
Instead you carried me through every time

All along there was a time
That is etched inside my mind
Where the night turns into day
Yeah all along you brought us through
Into something new
When my heart is like a whirlwind
Yeah, when my heart is like a whirlwind
I know it'll be alright

Love made a way
When there was no way out
As I lay dying
Love made a way for me

This is the way
That you must know yourself
Always defining
What you were meant to be

Here there is a fire
There deep as desire
Far beyond what we see
Reach there in the quiet
Seek and you will find it
Right where it's said to be

Love made a way
When there was no way out
Open the moment
Your heart it holds the key

Bright as a new morning
Rush as the sky soaring
Wide as the open sea
Free 'cause it costs nothing
High as the sun pouring
Love even down to me

After the rain
All that will remain is love
