One life 04:17
Moving in the one direction, all I am and all I see No pretence and no correction, what has been and what will be One heart, that beats at its own pace One start, no fear no lies One chance at this fragile life One open book, two open eyes To see what I was meant to see What I was meant to be is written in the hopes and fears, the laughter and the pain and tears in the life of a man that I never planned to be Day by day my life unfolding, is just another mystery It seems this grip on life I’m holding, someone else holds on for me. One thought leads to another, one day leads on and on One life that will end one day, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll be gone And see what I was meant to see, What I was meant to be will unfold when life has run its course and the river’s flowed back to its source and either proved or disproved my beliefs. ~ One heart, that beats at its own pace One start, no fear no lies One chance at this fragile life One open book, two open eyes To see what I was meant to see, What I was meant to be will unfold when life has run its course and the river’s flowed back to its source and either proved or disproved my beliefs

Life begins and life must end Hearts can break and hearts can mend but oneday soon I’ll lose a friend I’ll never be the same I never thought that AIDS could be something that affected me The girls were hot the sex was free It seemed like such a game But now I sit and look at you and wonder what you’re going through and do what little I can do and watch you fade away You need just a little I bleed just a little I’d bleed forever more to keep you here You cry just a little I die just a little Each time you close your eyes I live in fear Now I sit and look at you and wonder what you’re going through and do what little I can do and watch you fade away And I hold your hand and I feel your pain and wish we had our time again but I promise you won’t die in vain I’ll get this message through You need just a little I bleed just a little I’d bleed forever more to keep you here You cry just a little I die just a little Each time you close your eyes I live in fear I live in fear mmmmmmm

I feel you near, and bury my face in troubled hands And pray that you somehow hear, nobody else could understand The things that I just can’t say, ‘though god knows sometimes I’ve really tried The words are still locked away down deep inside I’m standing on the edge of my world feeling nothing but my feet on crumbling ground I’m standing on the edge of my life trying not to look down Here with you, reading your lifetime carved in stone Died at the age of two, nobody knows how you’d have grown If I could hold your hand and read you just one more nursery rhyme If I could hold your hand, for one more time ... one more time I’m standing on the edge of my world feeling nothing but my feet on crumbling ground I’m standing on the edge of my life trying not to look down so take me too, I don’t belong here anymore I want to be with you, there’s nothing left to be here for Leave all the tears behind; leave them to wash the pain away The contract is sealed and signed, I’m on my way, back to you I’m standing on the edge of your world feeling nothing but the warmth of you again I’m standing on the edge of my life Stepping out of the pain

Chaos 03:55
Can I be who I know I’m not? Can you see through the fear that I’ve got? In my life I’m just trying to find the order in the chaos in me I smile when I think of you And I cry when I shouldn’t do And I try to explain to you the things that I can’t help but see And I cover my eyes and the world rushes by around me I can run but I cannot hide From the life that I live inside Where the truth and the fantasy show their colours for my eyes to see I learn, but I don’t know much I feel, but I still can’t touch what it is that I’m trying to find The order in the chaos in me And I cover my eyes and the world rushes by inside me It’s a different world From my different point of view I see things so clearly But only the things that come into view Can I be who I know I’m not Can you see through the fear that I’ve got In my life I’m just trying to find the order in the chaos in me I learn, but I don’t know much I feel, but I still can’t touch what it is that I’m trying to find The order in the chaos in me And I cover my eyes and the world rushes by inside me

One day I hope you see more than you now see in me One day I hope you'll understand All the things I do are driven by my love for you and now your life is slipping from my hands Every minute of your life, I’ve been in it and now this knife that cut you free has cut me deeper than I’ve known I thought that time was on our side thought my eyes were open wide but now I look and see how old you’ve grown Time goes quickly, I never could keep track It seems that I spend more and more time looking back One day I hope you find the happiness and peace of mind That’s made my life worthwhile through all these years It seems like we’ve come so far from who we were to who we are I’m sorry but I just can’t hide the tears I’ll accept that you’re gone and my life stumbles on You go your separate way and I start again But please believe me, as it’s time to leave me I’m your father, I’ll always be your friend Time goes quickly, I never could keep track It seems that I spend more and more time looking back All my life I’ll miss you All my love goes with you I just never thought this partnership would end But please believe me, as it’s time to leave me I’m your father, I’ll always be your friend.

Tired of crying, I see it in your face Time to start over, find yourself a better place I still remember when you used to be so strong Come on, don’t hesitate, come home where you belong I’ve seen the drinking, and I’ve seen him lose control You wear the bruises on your body and your soul How can you love the man, with all he puts you through How can you rescue him if no one rescues you So let him keep drinking, let him drown in the beer But your boat is sinking so fast It’s time to jump clear I know the ocean looks frightening and the lifeboat so small But just jump, I will catch you when you fall Tired of crying, I see it in your face Time to start over, find yourself a better place I still remember when you used to be so strong Come on, don’t hesitate, come home where you belong And if you can hear me, jump, while the water’s still calm Take the first step, fall into my arms And if you can hear me, just jump, while the water’s still calm Take the first step, fall into my arms
