And I Wonder 04:39
So you're let down again did they try not to All the promises they made they were not for you And I wonder why you try and I wonder why you care Is it called commitment, when you're the only one there And I wonder do you hope and I wonder do you pray That this sorrow will end and you'll be happy one day You tried to rebuild that bridge when it fell before you But on the other side... is another broke in two. And it's time to say goodbye To leave it all behind you
2.
The Three 03:48
Three little angel flawed, oh how they loved, oh how they loved The devil inside of me, he hid all that they meant to me Now two have gone and one has flown away, If they were here this is what I would say Each of you has left their mark upon my soul, without you I could not be whole The first, she gave to me the passion that I could never see And the second, a friend so true, and the third, all the strength to help me though But I still think of you, when I hear her sing "Your heart's been hard to find"

Bit of Light 04:13
Oh how they try to fill the void, inside of you, they have left inside And stumbling you fall upon a life so broken, pick up the pieces, but you can't find the order And then you find a tiny bit of light to brighten up your darkening sky And all the joy that you've never known, is finally here, is finally shown But can it last so long, how can it last for so long And so you felt it for a moment and that can last you through your days Through the darkness and the sorrow and you long to find you way As all hope is turned to anguish and the darkness fills the night It keeps getting so much harder to find these tiny bits of light As the light begins to fade

December 03:51
You went away on a cold December Days haven't been the same since you've been gone I wish you had said goodbye, but I will remember All the times that we had for so long The summer was long and we hoped for the answers But some things are hidden... often too well Please tell me my friend, did you find what you're after Searching for peace to the tolling of the bell And we long to laugh, And we long to share And we find that we find you everywhere And we hope and we pray that you found What you could not find here We'll never forget you and always remember The joy that we had before December We'll see you again I know the wait won't be easy You're still in our hearts, although you have gone away

Empty 05:00
Empty Inside. In a crowded room, I'm all alone I've tried for so long to hide behind a smile Where is my place, that I can fit in Can I erase all that's gone before And in my world so all alone... I call my home In a backward mood, the source is hidden Often too well. Is there a way out of this maze, my mind won't tell. And I didn't let you see what was inside killin' me And I'm sorry I had to go and didn't let you know But think of me with love as I'm watching from above All times must come to ends ...I'll miss you my friends
6.
In a place by the coast, lived a man by the sea His memory brings on a smile, thoughts of what used to be When the waves crash upon the rock and the ocean calls to me And a bell in the distance tells of the old man and the sea A woman stands upon the shore, her tears mix with the sea A love lost so long ago, her dreams will never be The bell rolls on the ocean floor, sings to those lost at sea The bell calls to those upon the land, who still yearn to be... Upon the waves, with the wind To be lost in the wild wild sea

These Walls 05:25
We've become so distant We've made these walls we can't overcome But given time,we'll find a way to make it all undone There are walls (We build without knowing) These walls (We build,but cannot climb) Through these walls (We try to live but cannot breathe) Within these walls (They keep us from living life) Day by day we find, we can't go on like this Like we've been left behind and no one will miss us And we have got to find a way to tear these walls down But as long as we have hope, one day these walls will fall
8.
Find Our Way 03:28
I stand watching from a distance And I have to say something before it's too late I see you struggle as life brings you down Help is nowhere to be found But with hope we can find our way To make it through this day Maybe with a little luck, we can find our way Maybe with a little love, we can smile today The sad thing is that life can tear you down And you've got to do something before it falls apart Sometimes I wonder, if we'll find our way As we all stumble through every day
9.
All Alone 04:56
Snowfall reminds me...only of you I lie at night thinking...only of you Every breath I take, Feels as though I betray The promise I made to you In my dreams I hold you tight, Eternity is in the night I wake and you're not there My world crumbles to the ground, always lost but never found This pain too much to bear All Alone The rain it falls and reminds me...only of you When the sun blinds me, sometimes I see you I promised you that we'd be together for eternity But then that day made it so untrue All alone awake at night I wish I could,but cannot fight the events that took you If I could I would be there I hope you know how much i care and miss you
10.
How do I learn When all the toys of youth have turned to rust And who do I call to When all I've dreamed has simply turned to dust How can I miss what I don't understand How can I walk when I find it hard to stand Where will I run to know that you're no more Where do I turn when I can't remember what I'm fighting for There is no shame in these tears Although it seems they never end It is all I fear, some wounds will never mend Your season has come and gone Mere moments lost in time Going through the motions until I find how to say goodbye
11.
Let Me Fall 05:08
If we cling too tight and the air is drawn away Could we survive in this world that we create Are words that bind, our hearts entwined If I cling to tight and your air is drawn away Could you survive in this world that I create If I take your wings,never to fly again And lock them safe away Would the sky beacon you to fly another day What would you do, if I let you fly away Would you remember me and come back another day Or would the sky trouble me as if to say Now you're on your own and found yourself again You have to learn to let me fall And if I fly too high,I will come crashing down The choice is mine to make, so give me back my wings They were never yours to take But if I go then you will see, I will come back to you Although you set me free ...
