Walking toward the changing blue Every step feels a little bit better Sun and moon are both in view Feel the light left sink in through my skin In the distance there's a radio Someone's listening as they're washing the dishes Singing sounds that I've never known Feel the love seep in through all my ears I can't stop smiling The love I've been searching for's Alive and It's been here all the time And inside I've Still got some work to do But right now it's Time for in with the new Silhouettes of our shifting earth See the sun floating past the horizon Each breath is a new rebirth Feel my lungs fill up with life and light And I thought I was alone before But now I know I'll never be All this time love's been here at my door And I held the key Sounds of twilight settling in Turn back towards the place I'll rest my head tonight Close my eyes, I know I'll dream Of a place where love pours down like rain I can't stop smiling The love I've been searching for's Alive and It's been here all the time And inside I've Still got some work to do But right now it's Time for in with the new

It’s not the end of the world We don’t have that kind of power It’ll continue to turn Either with us or without us It was here long before And it long will outlast us So it’s neither mine nor yours For it long will surpass us Calling out, uncertain and afraid we feel we know not what we need But reaching out and lifting up our gaze we see Eventually, the world will find its way back to peace It’s not the end of the world Yeah, these bodies are but matter And anyway it unfolds Eventually our particles will scatter It was here long before And it long will continue So since we can’t close the door Might as well let the light shine through Calling out, uncertain and afraid we feel we know not what we need But reaching out and lifting up our gaze we see Eventually, the world will find its way back to peace

There’s a piece, there’s a part There’s a flicker, there’s a spark That burns in all And it twists, and it turns It divides and it diverges Until it’s lost They say you’d better choose what you’re about Make your choice and mark it down It’s now or never Yeah, fast is better In the real world, you’d best get yours No time to stop, no time to explore Stuck with no release But love lets us free Because we are more than the sum of all our parts We’re the silence in the space between the notes There’s a force that brings us together It’s the same one that created us all And now, the point is to evolve Is there a limit to our love On what’s allowed, on who deserves it? No It can’t be broken Must I decide my point of view Based on the lies masked as the one and only truth? Such words aren’t spoken Who are we to pretend we know There’s only one way to make it home All different paths toward a greater goal Because we are more than the sum of all our parts We’re the silence in the space between the notes There’s a force that brings us together It’s the same one that created us all And now, the point is to evolve We can rally, we can rise We can change, well, we can try and try To keep moving forward And we’ll get what we give And we’ll live if we let live It takes all kinds We’ll do it one step at a time Because we are more than the sum of all our parts We’re the silence in the space between the notes There’s a force that brings us together It’s the same one that created us all And now, the point is to evolve

Seeking solace in the shadows and the sea To begin again Sovereign moments when my heart can be at peace And begin again Don’t know where I lost my way But nothing quite feels the same In a world without your love Been running round the world from my own heart Is the damage done? Dug so deep all I can see is dark Is the damage done? There’s static in my song Nowhere quite feels like home In a world without your love Everything is as it’s been Same old thoughts, the same old new locations Spinning round in circles Searching for some grand escape But Turning back the clock Take back the times I turned away Searching sounds to find the cracks within the walls Where the light breaks through Tear through layers ‘til there’s nothing left at all Then the light breaks through Close my eyes, I finally see you never left me And I will never be In a world without your love
