Truth Shines 03:49
Truth Shines Lying next to you awake and you are sleeping As the pieces of a dream Raise the curtains on the secrets I’ve been keeping Safe from the places you have seen Is there nothing I can say that you can do some kind of compromise to keep us safe and out of sight The truth shines endlessly on you and me and all that we’ve become and all the things that just ain’t right Now the light is creeping in the bedroom window and it’s leaving me exposed In a picure caught red-handed with the answers to every question you have posed Is there nothing I can say that you can do some kind of compromise to keep us safe and out of sight The truth shines endlessly on you and me and all that we’ve become and all the things that just ain’t right Silence is gold Don’t make a sound Truth can’t take hold If we’re not around Is there nothing I can say that you can do some kind of compromise to keep us safe and out of sight The truth shines endlessly on you and me and all that we’ve become and all the things that just ain’t right

I’m Not Leaving I’ve been on my way to war and now I will not fight I will love my enemies and overcome their might God gave me new eyes to see Momentary harmony I’m not leaving here until I’m well Please don’t speak and time will tell Found out by my company a trader in their midst Praying for some better world I knew it could exist Captain says you’d better come pr you will hear the hangman’s drum I’m not leaving here until I’m well Please don’t speak and time will tell I’m not going back to fight Not until I’ve seen the light Only yesterday I gave my very life away Only yesterday I gave my very life away Since I had been stumbling I found my holy place And though I’m far from innocent I still was granted grace I have asked and so received Give me something to believe in I’m not leaving here until I’m well Please don’t speak and time will tell I’m not going back to fight Not until I’ve seen the light Only yesterday I gave my very life away Only yesterday I gave my very life away

Waiting 04:16
Waiting These thoughts keep repeating and say nothing new My head keeps on beating my head right on cue I’ve been waiting Waiting so long I’ve been waiting here I’m waiting holding a prayer you come to see I’m sorry I’m waiting holding a prayer to see that I still love you I’m waiting I’m waiting Last night I spent dreaming myself in this day And woke up sleepwalking in just the same way I’ve been waiting Waiting so long I’ve been waiting here I’m waiting holding a prayer you come to see I’m sorry I’m waiting holding a prayer to see that I still love you I’m waiting I’m waiting Last night I spent dreaming myself in this day And woke up sleepwalking in just the same way I’m waiting holding a prayer you come to see I’m sorry I’m waiting holding a prayer to see that I still love you I’m waiting holding a prayer you come to see I’m sorry I’m waiting holding a prayer to see that I still love you I’m waiting I’m waiting

The Distance 03:54
The Distance He got off his plane in Dallas waited for his bags to come and when he gathered up some courage he rode off west towards the sun Saddled up and settled in wasn’t any time to waste empty seat the only clue that he once lived in time and space I don’t mean to rain on the parade I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me Rode all night across the desert, what he saw along the way made him strong in his decision not to lose another day As the sky was turning purple transformation was complete see the bridges burn behind him feel the future at his feet I don’t mean to rain on the parade I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me Lost on, lost on, lost on, lost on me Lost on, lost on, lost on, lost on me Lost on, lost on, lost on, lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me I feel the distance grow between you every night you know the meaning never lost on me

Big Living 03:04
Big Living I’m not looking for distraction, I think it’s looking out for me Every time I take some action, there’s another coming down on me I’m not looking for distraction, think it’s looking out for me I don’t worry anymore It’s total satisfaction I can feel it start to wash all over me I’m giving in to big living I’m not looking for the way out, the exit is surrounding me I’m not praying for the answer, but the question ain’t confounding me I’m not looking for the way out, I think it’s looking out for me I don’t worry anymore It’s total satisfaction I can feel it start to wash all over me I’m giving in to big living I’m not looking for distraction, I think it’s looking out for me Every time I take some action, there’s another coming down on me I’m not looking for the way out, I think it’s looking out for me I don’t worry anymore It’s total satisfaction I can feel it start to wash all over me I’m giving in to big living

Sleep 01:28
Sleep A sleep fell on the city Music hypnotized Time fell off of the face of the clock the killer instinct died No one stopped it and nobody tried to The more that it slips out of view the more I remember the things that I knew All that I lost is finally found My heart’s beating to my maker’s sound My heart is beating to my maker’s sound
