Step It Up To The Groove 03:28
lyrics
i'm sick of the days being the same it's damaging my mind, makin' me insane so no matter if there's wind, sun or rain i'm gonna step it up to the groove you can come along if you like travel through the days and nights maybe we'll cross an ocean or two just step it up to the groove step it up to the groove step it up to the groove you might be happy workin' away but i don't wanna be living that way and i ain't got time for blues i'm gonna step it up to the groove headin' nowhere in my own time just movin' further down the line there is always somethin' to do just step it up to the groove step it up to the groove step it up to the groove whichever way the wind is blowin' i'll set my course and i'll be goin' down the long and windin' road i'm gonna step it up to the groove step it up to the groove step it up to the groove life is too short to waste away gotta make the most of the day after all what is there to lose? just step it up to the groove

The Answer You Seek 04:33
lyrics
you look to the light but are blinded by the sight of it shinnin' when you looked at that book you mistook the words and lost meanin' my eyes don’t lie so why do you misunderstand them tonight the answer you seek you will find you say you want peace but retreat from the clear pathway the rain is a pain but you don’t explain to me why it’s fallin' the sun would come if you undid what you’d done to hide it the answer you seek you will find you wonder when you’ll again be able to love the birds in the sky will cry as they fly home to rest around the world we’re told to find what we can’t see the answer you seek you will find waves don’t stray from the pattern that they are bound to a prayer from the heart will depart to wherever you send it so don’t worry through the night because of what might arrive at the dawn the answer you seek you will find look within before you begin judgin' those who are lost we’re all findin' our way through the day on the journey of life so just learn to be, let all come naturally and you’ll be fine the answer you seek you will find the answer you seek you will find the answer you seek you will find

On The Right Road 03:55
lyrics
i was blinded, blinded by fear by the lies i was forced to hear lookin' back what a fool i was to ignore what my heart said 'cos now i know i'm on the right road  and i won't look back any more i was runnin', runnin' from myself from the truth, was i testin' myself? now i found you i ain't lettin' go i'm heading on down the road 'cos now i know i'm on the right road  and i won't look back any more i was hidin', hidin' from the light how did i miss it? when it shines so bright now it leads me straight ahead here i come, i'll be there soon 'cos now i know i'm on the right road  and i won't look back any more i've had hard times, i've had good been mistreated, felt misunderstood but with you i'll never be alone so in you, i put fear and hope 'cos now i know i'm on the right road  and i won't look back any more

Give Me The Sun 03:43
lyrics
dreamers dream to forget reality angels sing to those who’ve lost belief forever’s waitin' to collect forgotten dreams give me the sun to shine on everyone tomorrow brings todays apathy yesterday holds the treasured memories fallin' rain holds back todays dream give me the sun to shine on everyone take me up to the top of the world to reach the sky toward the light shining bright fallen mirrors reflect a sky of hope mornin' haze a day to embrace silent stillness a chance for peace of mind give me the sun to shine on everyone freedom is what the world is runnin' from the chance to be in the moment you see heaven is here, where you stand today give me the sun to shine on everyone take me up to the top of the world to reach the sky toward the light shining bright i don’t know which way the wind will blow and i’m not sure i even need any more then all the things i can reach right now give me the sun to shine on everyone

Paint My Sky 04:13
lyrics
lookin' out of my window, lookin' out on the world all the fallen rainbows are layin' in the road i’m countin' footsteps of all the passers by and i ain’t doin’ much so this i ask of you won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love i hurt easier than i care to admit often i am hurtin' but i don’t like to show it there’s no perfect time, no perfect hour help me brighten up, turn up the love won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love in and out of my dreams i arrive searchin' for answers in a world i can’t stand i feel sleepy, i’m walkin' with tired eyes feelin' weary both in and out my mind won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love i can’t shake the darkness, i’m talkin' to the moon take uncertainty, take it from my mind give gentle love, help to heal my heart show the world the colour of love won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love won’t you paint my sky, paint it with life paint it the colour, the colour of love

(Will You) Stand By Me? 09:00
lyrics
i took a walk in the silent rain to think things over once again i was workin' things out in my mind now i know what i need in my life mist was risin' from the river sun dawned, people opened their eyes steppin' into routine away from temptation livin' and dyin' at the same time are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you every minute creates an hour of questions every word can lead to a million more darkness means nothin' without a light a minute means nothin' without time what does it all mean i hear you askin' well nothin' means anythin' if you want it that way but anythin' can mean somethin' just the same do you care for a heavenly rest? are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you fallen dreams lay scattered around hope is tightly held but quickly let go where will the road lead you in the mornin'? only fools question tomorrow before it arrives sunlight dances on a movin' stream reflectin' what you feel but you cannot show did you hear the story about the angel who came to rest by your side? are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you i stood out on my own facin' the sun i felt love shine from heaven above love is nothin' without you your love is with me wherever i go i'm not gonna let my soul be brought and be sold off to the highest bidder they can try and trick me if they like but i'm a gambler and i will win the prize are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you my footsteps will echo to forgotten history my thoughts will follow me up to heaven your love will keep my soul warm forever and you can count on mine to do the same i'm watchin' the wheels go by i haven't got anywhere to be for why head somewhere when it's nowhere nowhere but a diversion in the road are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you autumn leafs fall coverin' the streets but you know they don't hide what you know preachers will tell you what you're doin' is wrong but they too are longin' to belong this world isn't the easiest place to be but if you walked with your hand in mine we could make it better for one another so please take a walk with me are you brave enough to love? are you brave enough to believe? will you stand by me? c'mon on you know i'll stand by you

My Soul Will Be Released 06:38
lyrics
i sit here by at edge of the land thinkin' things over, the good and the bad i listen to the sound of the sea the weight of world is taken from me i see too many blindly walkin’ part of no story but they keep on talkin’ not one has a thought in their head they worry too much about what’s ahead my soul will be released my soul will be free my soul will see the light everything's gonna be alright throughout time many have suffered with pain in the heart and the mind we chain ourselves to the hands of time limit our journey, the time of our lives i face the sun and the rain good leads to bad, becomes good again it’s a circle can’t you see and we’re all part of the mystery my soul will be released my soul will be free my soul will see the light everything's gonna be alright work all day and play when we say is what we’re told, so what we believe but life's no game for it can’t be won i don’t need money but i need freedom i have respect for you if you treat other’s kindly, treat them right i want to walk down sunshine street without the blues dragging my feet my soul will be released my soul will be free my soul will see the light everything's gonna be alright i don’t need to impress anyone if i’m to be judged be it on my soul but if you have no time for me maybe i should walk a different path love isn’t hard to understand if you feel like me then take my hand for days are better when spent with you as time isn’t obstructin' the view my soul will be released my soul will be free my soul will see the light everything's gonna be alright
