The Seven Colors
02:34
|
|||
After The Sun
Arrived the Oklahoma Rain
A light did come
That would illuminate the plains
Opened my eyes
To see a beautiful surprise
Up in the sky
Heavenly picture floating by
I see my father
I see my mother
Sisters and brothers
The seven colors
The seven colors
We are the hope
Of all the dreams you left behind
So long ago
Just see how strong and bright we shine
We are the light
We are your ribbon in the sky
Alive and bright
We are the apple of your eye

Miracle
04:18
|
|||
Picture in my locket
Keeps me holding on
Keep me in your pocket
And I’ll be going strong
It won’t be long
I’m too far gone
I’ll battle on
Say you’ll be my baby
Fuel my appetite
If you’re thinkin' maybe
I won’t give up the fight
I’m standing by
I’ll be alright
I’m satisfied
It’s gonna take a miracle
To keep me away from you
You know there’s nothing I’d rather do
Than to steal away with you
It might take eternity
But baby, I got the time
I know it’s gonna be worth the climb
When I finally make you mine

Miss Me
03:56
|
|||
And honestly
I think it’s time to saddle up
And travel on
‘Cause you and me
We’re lost inside this battle
And the lines are drawn
And you’re gonna miss me
You’re gonna miss me
Miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me
You’re gonna miss me
Miss me when I’m gone
And truthfully
I find myself still wondering
Where I belong
Seems to me
You’ll never really know
Just why I came along
What might have been
Could it be
We'll never really know
Just how this journey ends

Mantle
03:15
|
|||
I keep your memory up on my shelf
Not showing anybody else
Dreaming of one more time
And one more chance
Just one more touch
Knowing that one more day
Will never be enough
Chorus
I’ve got a mantle full of cards
Telling me just how grand you are
If it’s enough to mend this heart
I will let you know
I will let you know
If they can mend this broken heart
If it’s enough to heal these scars
I will let you know

Glory
04:21
|
|||
Thinkin’ ‘bout the glory days
Trying to set the world ablaze
I made mistakes I know
Tryin’ to find my way
Think it’s time to make a change
Surely that could be arranged
Think I’ll escape and go
Where no one knows my name
‘Cause I spent all my time with you
You spent all your love on me
We spent all our chances
Trying to be free
And nobody understands
Why we’re makin’ other plans
I’m just tryin’ to find out
Who I’m supposed to be
Lookin’ for the glory
So, I’m packing up my yesterdays
Think I chased the dream away
Wish I could find the will
To have the final say
But tomorrow’s never really planned
Surely you can understand
I need an open road
And a quiet place to land

Windows
04:26
|
|||
From your window
The grass looks greener,
The sidewalk’s cleaner than clean
From my window
The rain won’t let up
I can’t seem to get up the steam
You see me strollin’
The deck I’m holding’s
Got you reeling
‘Cause I’m rolling in green
But what you see
Is really never what it seems
From your window
Interlude Vamp
Do you see the world that I see from your window
Can you see a world that’s staring back at you
If you come a little closer to my window
You would see it from another point of view
Outro Vamp
If you come a little closer
And you try to think it over
You would see the point of view
From my window
Try to see a different picture
You could turn around and
Figure out a way to start anew
From your window

A Place Like This
01:56
|

And I hope my mama’s in a place like this
‘Neath the healing waters in a state of bliss
With the sunlight waning like a fading kiss
Yeah, I hope my mama's in a place like this
Yeah, I hope my mama's in a place like this
We could talk for hours and we’d reminisce
Feel the cleansing shower of the morning mist
In a field of flowers ‘neath a sky so big
Well, I hope my mama's in a place like this
Yeah, I hope my mama's in a place like this
She would smell the lilies and the violets
Hear the peaceful humming of the katydids
Feel the cool wind blowing through her fingertips
Yeah, I hope my mama’s in a place like this
Yeah, I hope my mama’s in a place like this

Song of Freedom
04:23
|
|||
How many times
Can sunlight spring
Can angels’ wings adorn you
Knowing you’re keeping
All your hopes at bay
Tell me again
How much you miss
Sweet heaven’s kiss before you
Waiting for God to take your blues away
Sing a song
Sing a song of freedom
Sing out strong
Loud and pure and free
Battle on
Fighting for your freedom
Pressing on
To where you want to be
Sing a song
A song of liberty
They say despair is everywhere
It leads you where you let it
Give it an inch, it surely takes a mile
A battle cry is in the air
And don’t you dare forget it
You will rise up stronger in a while

Bright Red Hue
03:19
|
|||
Your heart was a bright red hue
Blazing so brightly
That it burned my eyes
And what I saw in you
Gave me a reason
To think I could fly
But as you drifted ever slower
Into the sun
I watched your brilliant colors fade
And bleed into one
Chorus 2
Your dreams were a bright red hue
Painting a portrait
Of a shooting star
Building a world or two
Creating a fortress
In your castle far
I saw you burst against the darkness
Lighting the sky
But when I look to find your heart
I see only night
I see only night
Oooo… ooo…
Chorus 3
Your love was a bright red hue
Shining so brightly
In the midnight sky
Willing to rendezvous
I gazed at the heavens
And you caught my eye
But as I reached for your embrace
You faded from sight
And now I’m left with just a trace
Of love’s holy light
Of love’s holy light

End of the River
04:45
|
|||
Echoes of night in winter
Distressing silence enters
Collecting memories in the wind
Our hearts are calling for you
Patiently searching for you
Expecting snow to fall again
Moving closer
Calling your name
Party’s over
Caught in the rain
We’ll light a star in the night
Guiding our way to the light
And we’ll meet you
At the end of the river

Won't be Long
03:24
|
|||
Won’t be long
‘Til we reach the final hour
Sing your song
You will blossom like a flower
Any day
I know happiness will find you
Break away
Leave this weary world behind you
