Ancient Souls 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Born with a dream Handed to me Never taught to hold a weapon Run out of steam ‘fore reaching sixteen Felt full grown before eleven La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah Call me an ancient soul They say, “she's just too careful, May not be her first time through,” Well maybe it’s true Maybe it’s true Friends long ago, Searching for home, We remember revolutions Handle with care, Kind but beware, Some will call it an illusion They call us ancient souls They say, "You best be careful, May not be their time through," Maybe it’s true Maybe it’s true They call us ancient souls They say, “You best be careful, May not be their first time through,” Well maybe it’s true Maybe it’s true Oh, so call us ancient souls You should be careful May not be our first time through Well maybe it's true Baby, maybe it's true La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah La da da da, la da da dah

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see you there! Look’s like you didn’t care anyway You don’t know me I get it, you’ve gotta get on with your day Well, what gives me the right, Gettin’ in your way? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Well maybe I’m a coward Not cut out for the rat race Strong and independent, sure But go ahead, put me in my place Well maybe you’re distracted, You could be blind, didn’t see my face I shouldn’t judge by appearances Oh what a fall from grace, oh what a fall from grace Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry I tried to find a reason What have I done to deserve this fate? Did I cut you in the subway line? Am I wearing that perfume you hate? You know, I get it, no one likes the grind I, too, wish that I stayed home today But bein’ mean won’t bring you peace of mind Or make you any less late Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Well next time I’ll get clarification I’m sure you’ll correct your mistake I will not apologize, or compromise, I emphasize my innocence Give me a break And I’ll be on my way Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I… Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I… I’m sorry

I Believe in the Rising Sun 02:42
lyrics

Shadows mingle in my darkened valley I hear them whispering my name Edge of dread like in an empty alley I fear I’ll always be the same But I believe in the rising sun All alone in undiscovered twilight I can’t let my eyes close Moon’s been missing since we turned on midnight Feels like she hardly ever rose Yet I believe in the rising sun I know I’m not alone Remember, the dark never felt like home Sensing I’m surrounded with life And they tell me, “we're gonna be alright” Oh they tell me, “we’re gonna be alright!” Warm light washes through my darkened valley Peaks cry, suddenly it’s clear! Dancing wind sings out a call to rally, “Morning is here, morning is here, morning is here!” And I believe in the rising sun I believe in the rising sun

Where to Begin 04:17
lyrics

Day break, Watch the light change Let the world’s warmth Melt away your pain Long night, Been a long fight Sometimes felt like The sky could only rain Beyond that mountain so high We found only peaks Rising miles higher Please now, tell me my friend Where to begin I fear I’ll die only trying, Never to win But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light Well I saved Change and old ways Hidden ‘til I had the faith to spend Say you believe me, You know, it can get lonely Always holding out a hand To lend I keep on trying to climb But silent and scared, I'm knocked down everytime Can't someone tell me again, Where to begin? I fear I’ll die only trying, But I want to win But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light But I know I’ve lived To fight the darkness I cannot turn back The moment I see the light We may rejoice at the sight of the morning sun Remember the day’s only just begun Don’t go blind at the sight of the light
