When something’s lost
Something always must be found
It may not be what you expect
These things always come around
When what you’ve got
Keeps your feet firm to the ground
A sudden loss can hurt a lot
But what you’ve got, will never stop
Thought I saw you, there before me
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to heal the pain within
I called you, cos I missed you
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to feel the rain within my heart,
will never stop
When people cross
To the other side
They don’t know what to expect
Only what they’ve left behind
Not forgot
Remembering their smiles
Always knew what to expect
And what came next, will never stop
Thought I saw you, there before me
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to heal the pain within
I called you, cos I missed you
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to feel the rain within my heart,
will never stop
Thought I saw you, there before me
Could hold you in my arms again
Begin to heal the pain within
I called you, cos I missed you
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to feel the rain within
I saw you, there before me
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to heal the pain within
I called you, cos I missed you
To hold you in my arms again
Begin to feel the rain within my heart, will never stop

A blossoming mind, needs time to decide
What it is it wants to do
And when the times right, for testing the tide
That is when you’ll make a move
And the people they all say to me
You look like a flower in bloom
Yeah the people, they all say to me
You look like a flower in bloom,
You look like a flower in bloom
When two worlds collide, there’s no compromise
What you have to do is calling you
It's set out in stone, your futures come home
Now it’s just a case of learning from it
And the people they all say to me
You look like a flower in bloom
Yeah the people, they all say to me
You look like a flower in bloom,
You look like a flower
When you start to fade, you see what you’ve made
For the future generations
And when you have gone, your legacy’s strong
Now lets hope that they’re all learning from it
And the people they all say to me
You lived like a flower in bloom
Yeah the people, they all say to me
You lived like a flower in bloom,
Such a blossoming mind
You lived like a flower in bloom
Such a blossoming mind
You lived like a flower in bloom
Such a blossoming mind
You lived like a flower in bloom

I’ve been waiting, so many years
For my life to be the way it appears
Climb the ladder the unconventional way
Rewards are greater at the end of the day
So catch me if you can
But you won’t destroy my plan
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
Looking back through the darkness of fear
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
I shine my light back, it all becomes clear
Fears the one thing that held me back
Break the cycle and you’ll soon see the cracks
Light pours through, filling my mind
With opportunities to share with my kind
So catch me if you can
But you won’t destroy my plan
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
Looking back through the darkness of fear
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
I shine my light back, it all becomes clear
Oohhh, I shine my light back
Oohhh, I shine my light back
So catch me if you can
But you won’t destroy my plan
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
Looking back through the darkness of fear
I’m in the light at the end of the tunnel,
I shine my light back, it all becomes clear
It all becomes clear

Streets Where You Belong

If there's no other way
You'll have to rise rise rise
And find another way
To get yourself back on the road
No matter what you say
They'll twist the lines lines lines
And take your life away
Leave you with a broken home
Don't throw away the key just yet
It won't take long till you're back on your feet
Back on the streets where you belong
They may convicts in retrospect
It'll make the taste of freedom so sweet
When you're back on the streets
Back on the streets where you belong
It's cold and dark inside
No-where to hide hide hide
Easy to lose your mind
Just focus on the future now
And things will all come right
It just takes time time time
Your family shares your plight
Support you to the very end
Don't throw away the key just yet
It won't take long till you're back on your feet
Back on the streets where you belong
They may convicts in retrospect
It'll make the taste of freedom so sweet
When you're back on the streets
Back on the streets where you belong
Don't throw away the key just yet
It won't take long till you're back on your feet
Back on the streets where you belong
They may convicts in retrospect
It'll make the taste of freedom so sweet
When you're back on the streets
Back on the streets where you belong

Try as You Might

A long time coming
A short time to pay
But why change our habits
Yeah we’ve always been this way
Tearing the ground up
And spitting it out
Was meant to replenish,
That's what they say
It’s too late, to do anything
Except sit back and watch
The children suffering
It’s too late, to do anything
You can try as you might, this world is outta sight
You can try as you might, this world has lost its fight
They write their reports
On paper that bleeds
And poison our minds
Like the seven seas
I’m begging you please please please
Lets forget our needs
The political breed
Have something to answer for
It’s too late, to do anything
Except sit back and watch
The Children suffering
It’s too late, to do anything
You can try as you might, this world is outta sight
You can try as you might, this world has lost its fight
Down in the deepest thoughts of mine
The rhythm of life has lost its mind
It’s gone far, far away
It’s gone far, far away
It’s too late, to do anything
Except sit back and watch
The children suffering
It’s too late, to do anything
You can try as you might, this world is outta sight
You can try as you might, this world has lost its fight
