Waking World 03:50
lyrics

WAKING WORLD Everybody is asleep Dawn is breaking View the waking world Grabbing snacks, devouring fast To live their dream amongst the human herd Strong is their conditioning Can’t contemplate there might be other ways Like slowing down, relaxing And considering the harm we cause each day This is the waking world This is the land that we inherit Don’t let the shaking world Fall before our eyes The world needs waking up tonight Everybody rise and shine The sun is blazing Time to make some hay Fastening shirts and tying laces Stretching out into a brand new day Internet serves faster our devices Feeding us with fakes and truths (Click the links to find them) Alarm bells ring on deaf ears From the sandman’s grip While some say “What’s the use” This is the waking world This is the land that we inherit Don’t let the shaking world Fall before our eyes The world needs waking up tonight This is The Waking world If not with grace then be with merit Don’t let our arrogance be the means to our demise This is the waking world This is the land that we inherit Don’t let the shaking world Fall before our eyes The world needs waking up tonight

Green 03:43

GREEN (Logan) Green sustainable dreams We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair At the place where the landfill ends Is the place where your money is spent Oil petroleum is causing commotion Plastic spilling out in every ocean While ozone thins in the sky The climate changes and the temperatures rise And if our world runs aground Or hits the rocks it’s likely everything drowns We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair As you calculate your carbon footprint Each day two hundred species become extinct Arguing that how we lived in the past Will never change It’s clear traditions don’t last Need electricity No fossil fuels to travel from A to B The wind will blow us along And in ours sails lets catch the words of this song We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair SOLO Give it up - Everybody sing We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair (They say we’ve gotta live green) We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here (Sustainable dreams) People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair (Green) We’re all trying to live green Embracing the sun and rain and the wind out here (Sustainable dreams) People spreading the love And freeing the world of anguish pain and despair Green sustainable dreams Green sustainable dreams

THE APPLE TREE (Logan) Talking straight, no compromising I look at you and I’m sick of trying All you do is make a fool of me You can’t deny that you can’t separate The truth from all your lying You cut down my apple tree Once I couldn’t get enough of you I kept thinking about it Cutting myself up about it Once I had tasted forbidden fruit I kept thinking about it Couldn’t get enough of it They say that if you really love someone You will forgive the bad things they have done Talking straight, no compromising I look at you and I’m sick of trying All you do is make a fool of me You can’t deny that you can’t separate The truth from all your lying You cut down my apple tree Who oh oh oh Who oh oh oh Who oh oh oh You cut down the apple tree I know you did what you did There ain’t no use in you denying it You cut down my apple tree SOLO They say some folks are rotten to the core And skin deep beauty cannot be adored Talking straight, no compromising I look at you and I’m sick of trying All you do is make a fool of me You can’t deny that you can’t separate The truth from all your lying You cut down my apple tree Who oh oh oh Who oh oh oh Who oh oh oh You cut down the apple tree I know you did what you did There ain’t no use in you denying it You cut down my apple tree

POPULAR (Logan) The ladder of life stands right in front of you Leading to doors one dreams of walking through Every day seems grey and fictional A world in the hand Enhanced and digital The man behind the curtain Ain’t real and that’s for certain Those likes and validates are not for free Everybody feels the need to be popular Chasing clicks and ratings Stand in line Immersed in social media Of that I do concede I got you - You’re all I need Tired of being alone and on a shelf Wine and T.V. dinners Needing help Discovering escape in a device Searching for ways to find another life The man behind the profile Is offering a new style But it’s not real It’s fake - No honesty Everybody feels the need to be popular Chasing clicks and ratings Stand in line Immersed in social media Of that I do concede I got you - You’re all I need Everybody, Everybody, Everybody feel the need (Why does) Everybody feel the need to be popular If you dream on dopamine Stay trapped within the feed You’re so real - You’re all I need SOLO The man behind the curtain Ain’t real and that’s for certain Those likes and validates are not for free Everybody feels the need to be popular Chasing clicks and ratings Stand in line Immersed in social media Of that I do concede I got you - You’re all I need Everybody, Everybody, Everybody feel the need Everybody feel the need to be popular (Woh) Everybody, Everybody, Everybody feel the need (Why does) Everybody feel the need to be popular If you dream on dopamine Stay trapped within the feed You’re so real - You’re all I need

DANGEROUSLY BEAUTIFUL (Logan) I used to drink wine ‘cause I got too loaded on whisky Now that I feel fine I realize it’s much too risky drinking with you You don’t know when to stop You rock ‘till you drop And I take too many chances I get out of control But you touch my soul and I love you You’re dangerously beautiful I come to think here When I’m down too heavy on troubles But when you appear I realize it bursts my bubble thinking of you I get out of control But you touch my soul and I love you You’re dangerously beautiful You’ve got that look in your eyes I’m going down in flames, oh, oh Full crash of burning love And my heart won’t steer me away I’m fired up and under the hood Gas fuelled and I’m igniting You know my intentions are good But you’re oh, oh, oh, oh So dangerously beautiful SOLO Now that I feel fine I realize it’s much too risky drinking with you I get out of control But you touch my soul and I love you You’re dangerously beautiful You’ve got that look in your eyes I’m going down in flames, oh oh Full crash of burning love And my heart won’t steer me away I’m fired up and under the hood Gas fuelled and I’m igniting You know my intentions are good But you’re oh, oh, oh, oh So dangerously beautiful Dangerously beautiful So dangerously beautiful You’re dangerously beautiful

GREAT THINGS (Logan) Don’t worry if you’re not where you wanna be Great things take time Dreams can become a reality Further down the line One day you’ll be searching For something that you’re missing Great things take time It’ll start appearing Suddenly when you’re nearing Further down the line Baby you and I We could make it together If we fall in love gradually Then it will be forever If you can’t see the station Of your destination Great things take time You should never hurry Worthy is the journey Further down the line SOLO Ahh One day you’ll be searching For something that you’re missing Great things take time It’ll start appearing Suddenly when you’re nearing Further down the line Baby you and I We could make it together If we fall in love gradually Then it will be forever If you can’t see the station Of your destination Great things take time You should never hurry Worthy is the journey Further down the line Don’t worry if you’re not where you wanna be Great things take time Dreams can become a reality Further down the line

The Day You Went Away 03:10

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY (Logan) Waking up from the dark to a brand new day Hoping that love would blossom from decay I see the sunrise I feel the heat rise Ears filled with empty words and broken promises The day you went away Falling apart, a separation sheds new light Treading on broken glass It’s hard to stand and fight I see the sunrise Upturned and capsized Sodden with empty dreams and no direction since The day you went away I can remember the feelings of elation Running as if my feet had wings I’d fly so high Hitting the ground That truth and devastation Almost split me right in two What was I to do? I used to think you were the perfect lover How was I to know you’d trip me up and say goodbye Gravel on my knees I knew I could be whole again Along love’s avenue Walking tall and true Waking up from the dark to a brand new day Knowing that love will blossom from decay I see the sunrise I feel the heat rise Head filled with shiny new ideas and positives You’re gone! You went away I’m looking back and thankful that the sun did rise The day you went away

Life Goes By 03:23

LIFE GOES BY (W. Logan – G Macfarlane) Light fires on a dead end street Black Knights - Forgotten ones who speak Still strive But question why dancing to their music till the day they die The Cold world hides them Hopes can’t find them Far beyond their world of dreams Feel the rhythm as life goes by They count time where the dragons meet Debts paid - But nothings left to eat No sleep as darkness calls Starved of recognition as their curtain falls No compassion No distraction Feel their Power and their passion The Cold world hides them Hopes can’t find them Far beyond their world of dreams Feel the rhythm as life goes by The word is mightier than the sword Hear their melody strike their chord Old world Guides them Where no one finds them Far beyond their world of dreams Feel the rhythm as life goes by Feel the rhythm as life goes by

THE GONG (Logan) You’ve gotta do better You’ve gotta be great Posting your face all over the place Gotta succeed, that’s what everyone needs Or you’re wrong You’ve gotta be hot By playing it cool Gotta be smart, can’t be somebody’s fool Life is a game Some don’t play by the rules Bring it on Life’s going pop Save me before the sound of the gong What are you frightened of What do you fear Time slips away as the days disappear Months into years Keep on forging ahead ‘cause you’re strong Boys will be girls And girls will be boys Spitting the dummy out Throwing the toys Keep getting kicked Falling down but you still play along Life’s going pop Save me before the sound of the gong Words in your head And words on the street Struggling to dance to a different beat With two left feet Leaving you wondering where you belong Gotta stay current Gotta stay sweet Nobody cares if you’re real or you cheat Sometimes you wish you were singing a different song Life’s going pop Save me before the sound of the gong Life’s going pop Save me before the sound of the gong

ROSES (Logan) You can try dryin' a hundred drenched excuses While the petals fall Living the perfect dream where no one loses Is so emotional Trickling drops of discontent unsettle Keeping you from sleep Promising that we’d grow old and last forever Promises don’t keep Every time I held you in my arms And loved you in our garden Hope would never end It will never rain roses We will never see them bloom But you’ll be always on my mind Memories on the winds of time My love will always be for you Heroes don’t always keep the girl in movies Some seeds never grow Perfumed thunderclouds Precipitation from my eyes will flow Visions of you slamming closed your trunk And driving into stormy weather never end It will never rain roses We will never see them bloom But you’ll be always on my mind Memories on the winds of time My love will always be for you Every time I held you in my arms And loved you in our garden Hope would never end It will never rain roses (We’ll never have to dry our heads) We will never see them bloom But you’ll be always on my mind Memories on the winds of time My love will always be for you You’ll be always on my mind Memories on the winds of time My love will always be for you

Lessons 03:42

LESSONS (Logan) And there it was The road before was clear now Littered with mistakes and bad decisions It became obvious The only way moving forward Was to take control and purge inhibitions Do we learn our lessons When we crash and burn Or do we just repeat when we return Regrets reside in hindsight Ghosts haunt us from the past The life defining incidents Can never be forecast Woe the lessons we ignore We ignore Then came a turn What stood before was choices Taken by surprise yet so familiar It became obvious That neither path was certain But the preferred way was so much harder Do we learn our lessons When we crash and burn Or do we just repeat when we return Regrets reside in hindsight Ghosts haunt us from the past The life defining incidents Can never be forecast Woe the lessons we ignore We ignore SOLO We think we know The course to shape our future But nothing can prepare for life’s next challenge The greatest loss Is never knowing which action Or consequence which tips the balance Do we learn our lessons When we crash and burn Or do we just repeat when we return Regrets reside in hindsight Ghosts haunt us from the past The life defining incidents Can never be forecast Woe the lessons we ignore
