We lift each other up
We lift each other high
When the road is tough
We get each other by.

We keep each other going
We keep each other smiling
With a little extra love showing
When the pressures come piling.

We shine a little light
To warm each others souls
Encourage each other to fight
When we’re working on our goals.

We’re there for each other
At the darkest of times
And we celebrate each other
When our lives are going fine.

We are peas in a pod
We are soldiers in the trenches
A bunch of lost souls
Each other lost soul clenches.

Souls caught in the same time
We form a little group
When life tells us to fall in line
We form a little coup.

We toast to the good
We laugh at the Gods
When we dance the dance of love
When that dance can be so hard.

We lift each other up
We lift each other high
When the road is tough
We get each other by.

We toast to the good
We laugh at the Gods
When we dance the dance of love
A dance that can be so hard.

I’m just looking at a night sky
Though darkness has not yet hit
Watching birds fly high
Wondering is there a better sight than this?

There is such peace in their movements
Such freedom in their wings
And when they stop moving just to glide
That’s a sight to me that sings.

I’m just looking at the sky man
And I can see for miles
Should be black but it’s blue man
The clouds decorate it with different styles.

I start thinking a little beyond it
How we’re just spinning out in space
And I feel a million miles away
From what some call the rat race.

I’m just spinning out in space man
Drinking the moment in
We all have our days man
But sometimes we forget the wonder we’re in.

I’m just looking on a night sky
Should be dark but that sky is blue
And I’m just watching a bird glide by
Thinking,’what a bloody view’.

I’ve been rolling with the punches baby
Take them as they come
They’ve been coming in their bunches lately
Starting to wonder when they’ll be done.

Times it’s like people throw these punches
Just to have a little fun
But when it comes to punches
I’ve been seldom known to run.

I can take a few shots
I’m not much to complain
But I wouldn’t mind if they stopped
All the damn same.

I have a lot of patience
But that’s pretty much worn out
In certain situations
That’s just not what I’m about.

I’m just rolling with the punches
I take them as they come
But I’ve taken enough punches
Think it’s time for a little fun.

I’m all about the building
Now I’m building something new
For what I wanted to build
Has unfortunately fell through.

I’m just rolling with the punches
Take them as they come
But I can throw some punches
So now I’m fighting toward the Sun.

I’ve been beaten blue
Time to start beating back
I’m tired of the beating
Going to beat my own track.

It’s my time baby
What you think about that?
I’ve been down a lot lately
But I’m coming right back.

I’ve been rolling with the punches
I take them as they come
But I can throw some punches
So now I’m fighting toward the Sun.

Life is fleeting
Don’t you ever forget
Tell someone how you feel
Don’t you ever regret.

They’ll be gone in a day
You’ll be gone in a day too
And the only thing you’ll ever regret
Is not saying what you wanted too.

Lay out how you feel
Live and you learn
Live for the day
It’s funny how the tables turn.

What you thought was meant
Might just not be meant for you
And what you thought was spent
Might just be coming through.

We don’t know what is
Can be hard to know what’s right
But live for the day
Keeping the future in your sight.

Knowing it’s just a ride
Can make you live your life with greed
But greed kills the things inside
That most of us really need.

While your heart is beating
Try treat it with respect
And know others lives are fleeting
So try your best not to neglect.

Try is all you can
Try is the best you can do
And the more you try
The more others might try for you.

For you can try your very best
Then life comes and hits you with different plans
And when you’re down in the very depths
Nothing lifts you like helping hands.

You can live like you’re in it on your own
But that’s a little myth
For it is the warmth of skin and bone
That makes bliss out of the gift.

Life is fleeting
Don’t you ever forget
Tell someone how you feel
Don’t you ever regret.

Look me in my eye
What you see motherfucker?
I’m a tell you what you see
Just a good hearted nutter.

Now I’ve had some mad cunts
Tell me I’m a mad cunt
And that can be
A very worrying sign.

But I just tend to do things my way
And if that’s mad
Then with being mad
I’m totally fine.

Now I’ve been up and down
A few times
In this
Life of mine.

Lost my loving father
Back In 89′
My life got a lot harder
But I’ve turned out fine.

Plus
I feel
I’m only really getting started
On this road of mine.

So you keep telling me what you see
I’ll keep doing what I do
And eventually you might see
The only mad man here is you.

Look me in my eye
What you see motherfucker?
I’m a tell you what you see
Just a good hearted other.

If you are feeling lonely
And you’ve got heavy things on your mind
Be slow to rush to the quick fix
They detract, the good things in life take time.

That’s advice that can be hard to follow
I’ve often ignored it myself
For some things hurt so much, are so hard to swallow
We’d do anything to just feel some help.

For when you are walking through darkness
And you are trying to fight for light
It’s easy to lose sight of your targets
And hit the ones for you aren’t right.

When this life is darkest
And peace in heart is hard to find
That’s when we must work hardest
To find our peace in mind.

If you let the wrong people around you
When you are fighting for your mind
They can use words to surround you
Target weak spots they find.

Find happiness where you can
You’ve a right to look after you
But if that happiness feels like a scam
You’ve got to trust your feelings too.

For what happens in the quick
For me usually ends mistakes
And in my experience though brief be it
It takes time to find or create great.

Beware when you rush to the quick fix
Beware when there of the people you find
For what feels good and may heal a little bit
In a road that’s long, may be wasted time.

When you are feeling lonely
And you’ve got heavy things on your mind
It is then we are better to take things slowly
And though that feels harder, I feel real happiness a little easier to find.

Just give me something good
Something I can feel
Keep your cheap buzz
I want something real.

You can keep your stars and lights
I want what’s real in life
Never been one for hype
I like the simple life.

Not afraid to take to the stage
But the simple life is all I’ve ever really craved
Give me a good heart and laughter in my days
And this man right here will be made.

I get tired of the noise
Don’t you ever tire of it too?
All these shiny fake decoys
What’s real here or true?

They keep blurring all the lines
Till we’re just walking credit cards
When those cards run out of dimes
They’re cards they’d soon discard.

This world tries make you fear your body
Shows little care for your soul
Seems to tell you you’re worth nothing
Unless financial worth’s within your control.

It kicks and mocks your heart
Rewarding the shiny gloss
As people feel insufficent
And in their insecurities get lost.

Don’t let it make you bow down
Take your worth, beat your insides dead
When nothing’s working out none
Work on the in and keep your head.

This world will mock, spit, and curse you
Even at times you feel you’re flying ahead
Don’t let this stop, split, or worse do
Try keep a little faith in yourself instead.

Gain value in your own self
By how you face each challenge new
For we must keep value in our own self
In a world so quick to devalue you.

Don’t let this world drown you out
Make you forget your very self
Make you insecure in what you’re about
Have you acting like someone else.

This world will cloud your dreams
So much fog to blur our view
Right and left beat your esteem
Have you scared to just be you.

You don’t let them in your head
Don’t let them tell you what you ain’t
They might act like they know it all
But ain’t a sinner here a saint.

Don’t let them tell you what you’re not
You go out and show them what you are
And when they kick and knock you back
You work on the short to get to the far.

You embrace the hand you’re given
For it’ll surely get worse if you don’t
Embrace the fact you’re still living
For many with the same hand won’t.

Make the best of what you’ve got
Even when you feel so far behind
I know how hard can be some shots
You find it hard to just keep your mind.

But you raise your weary head
And try keep it held high
Let the noise fall dead
And your soul fly high.

Don’t let this world drown you out
Make you feel like you don’t matter
Fill you full of doubt
Till you feel you’re just an actor.

Lost to glitz and glamour
A slave to their parade
Don’t be quick to the false enamour
Of that well made charade.

Find what’s real in you
And the real will find you too
Put some feeling in what you do
And this world will start feeling you.
