All is perfect it’s quiet The moon in her dark phase, the days are long And crammed with excitement and unpredictability When cares blown on the wind Fall out of the sky and pass by untouched Observed by silent minds Look and listen entwine in their own time In this unpredictability, unpredictability Don’t rewind or fast forward Stay here with the unfolding of the hours As subtle as the seasons and real as this dream Stay here with me in this unpredictability Music is dreaming, being is art And is is what it is, no push no pull I glide on the current of unpredictability. La la la la... Thank you for sharing More of who you are 'Cause we’re all reflections uniquely In this unpredictability This delicious mystery La la la la la la la I’m falling out of the sky With delight of sharing me with you So lets sing for this unpredictability, la la la la la la la la…

Flood 02:46
Not another flood happening on this windy afternoon Just the other month it was flooding under the summer moon And I don’t know where I’m going I wouldn’t have a clue But I know I’m not going anywhere this afternoon, this afternoon Not another flood happening in this childish heart I use Just another way of getting through these foggy times confused And I’m travelling east to west in a constant shuffle here and there The storms moving north to south the thunder rumbles in my shoes Rumbles in my shoes x 4 BREAK Not another flood flowing in on this sky blue afternoon Some of Mother Nature pouring into this old mind in tune And I know that all these feelings will sort a way though, the jungle of these changing times, what I know is, worrying’s no use, worrying’s no use, worrying’s no use, worrying’s no use, uh oh oh oh

V1) I tried to be you I had a go at being me I saw the beauty of individuality I looked above and wished on the evening star That being me would never get me buried in the deep Instrumental x 1 form V2) I tried to be me Then I lost all confidence Wading through the waters of hopelessness That’s not me, this emptiness, shake it off, take a breath Of hopefulness Get back up, hold your head high Don’t get buried in the deep

Revolving 03:26
Hanging out over dinner with friends last night has inspired me to write when before me blank paper stares and things that dare To indulge to sit around and wait, for this mystery that somebody called fate Well how about these governments thats try and try to seperate us Revolving in cycles again and again lets go round and round again No wonder we don't get dizzy my friends all friends lets love as friends And these rules that we play by, seems like each moments on layby when we work and in between we play the game of life Revolving in cycles again and again lets go round and round again 'cause we are all

Here’s me craving something Trying to focus on Maybe only one thing Only one thing at a time or I might lose my mind Here’s me sighing’ hurricanes Now I’m dodging’ working cranes Better less than more I say Only one thing at a time or I might lose my mind Yeah yeah yeah I realize something’s going on I realize I must be strong Some things I leave to fate Gotta take a little time, just wait I draw a blank from nowhere I’m walking into brick walls Can’t pull myself together at all Only one thing at a time or I might lose I might lose my mind

Feels like, I’m standing at the foot of a mountain, feels like I’m standing at the foot of a mountain Oh and I look up oh it’s a steep climb and I am doubting Decision, indecision is most of my day Confusion, illusion, something’s in my way Oh and I look up oh it’s a steep climb and I am doubting Release this feeling inside of me, release this feeling inside of me Release this feeling inside of me, release this feeling inside of me Feels like, I’m moving but I’m going nowhere Oh and I look up oh it’s a steep climb and I am doubting Release this feeling inside of me, release this feeling of uncertainty Release this feeling inside of me, release this feeling inside of me

Be yourself be yourself don’t be anybody else Do what you want to do, the things that excite you Use your strength and be honest, you Know you’re good enough, for me, be yourself! When you’re having a bad day and you feel like crying And everyone seems to not be on your side Oh oh oh oh…… Its ok to feel what you feel, take your time…just be yourself Be yourself, do what you do, say what you want, don’t fear Some days are good, somedays are bad, just roll with it Be kind, try not to worry You know you’re good enough in your heart! Oh in your heart Come on and be yourself oh just be yourself Come on and be yourself oh just be yourself Come on and be yourself oh just be yourself oh oh oh oh come on and be yourself

A Cup Of Tea 02:08
All I want is easier than all this fuss and socialising All I want is all my friends, all those I love In a garden drinking tea as the leaves sway in the breeze The best for us my heart has just Expressed that we live more peacefully With nature walks, escaping all this city talk Silently sleeping in, our tent so peacefully A cup of tea as the leaves sway in the breeze All I want is easier than all this fuss and socialising All I want is all my friends, all those I love In a garden drinking tea as the leaves sway in the breeze A cup of tea as the leaves sway in the breeze
