Haywarden 02:41
Haywarden Walk with me past dusty fields, under dark of night Hold my hand, I’ll whisper gently, It’s gonna be alright The barren land shine silver, under cloudless light And There will be another day for you and I Once we were the dreamers, who sowed our hopes in dirt More than just people marked by sweat and hurt We plowed the soil with memories and looked up to the sky And there will be another day for you and I We didn’t know the future would die in 29 Blackened clouds of dirty grit, scorched the earth and time We’ll go and find some city work God help us as we’ll try And there will be another day for you and I Walk with me past dusty fields under dark of night Hold my hand I’ll whisper, it’s gonna be alright Barren lands are waiting for the dawning light And there will be another day for you and I

The Road 03:13
The Road Everyday lives of people changing, Full sails toward damnation now Dehumanize before they say a word offense is my newest past time, stand up for the newest tweet line Kill your brother with the written word Its all about me and my latest struggle, Ill cut you down and save you the trouble now I got the corner on this thinking game The louder I speak the more you stutter, don’t question the words I utter now I’m a def man with a lot of things to say (Chorus) I say hey! I’ll see you on down the road Culturally blind but see things my way, Doesn’t matter if you got something to say Why do fools always get the megaphones I’ll die tonight for my own sin, So now drink the poison in Can you please leave my well enough alone.

Vanessa’ Song When I met you I was broken In your care I was made complete With your soft-spoken nature You returned my joy to me Slow to speak and slow to anger Grace to others on your lips Your songs a soothing teardrop Your bashful when it slips (Chorus) Our words can paint the picture, but a song can cloth a life So I’ll shower you with melody, proudly singing, proudly singing You’re my wife You’re my guts and you’re my gusto You’re my heart and you’re my home Now to sing with you is a pleasure May our story be our song We say goodbye to days of longing Farewell to nights alone Just forgive my early mornings So that we can get along

She’s the one I saw her standing there, with a flower in her hair Saying no one look at me, I’m not the one to see But I can’t help but know, a little voice told me so She’s the one Our days they turned to months, and I told her more than once You mean all the world to me, please set this captive free No more flower in her hair, but I don’t even care Cause She’s the one Oh, Oh, oh And now we’re old and grey, she looks better every day Each wrinkle finely placed, no other can replace And I can hardly hear, but when she screams its clear She’s the one

Cymric 03:30
Winter comes slowly, cause we’re taking our time We linger longer, and feel the sunlight Maybe last month or maybe last year week We left the front door with boots on our feet Distant thoughts off winter When the moon it meets the sun Golden fields of summer in old Saskatchewan Fires on the lake shore In barren fields we run Summer turns to autumn old Saskatchewan

Whither 03:45
Whither The fire in these eyes they flair and fade, And move just as they may It’s warm and its cold each passing day, And mute the thing I want to say Why do I do just what I hate, and cast my joy away I’m weak I’m strong, don’t know where I belong, and all in a single day (Chorus) See the poor man arising, Let the weak say I’m strong Let the Orphan rise up, and know where they belong Let the shadows within me, go running in fear At their apocalypse coming, the son of man drawing near Come traveler by, hear what I say And let me not delay, the grass it whithers the flower fades My strength, and my fear the same

the Weight 03:30
I Have only six old strings, And that’s fewer then it seems To sing of this weight on my mind, Been trying to make a sound, looking all around to find that This old world has lost his mind And I- I’m looking for you to heal the blind And I- I’m carrying the weight of my times I’ve crumbled down the walls of traditions large and small to find that What’s inside is dust and bone And still your ever there, crying out a prayer Asking can this child have a home And I- I’m looking for you to heal the blind And I- I’m carrying the weight of my times And I- I’m looking for you to heal my mind And I- I’ve been carried across the waves this whole time

Ay-A-Oh 04:05
Picking up the pieces of my hearts abandon mine Ay-a-oh Binding up the wounds of the ones we eft behind Ay-a-oh I cry o mercy father but you see in me a friend Ay-A-Oh You see in me a treasure, even though I’ve never been Ay-A-Oh What did I do to deserve this, I’m a robber and a thief Ay-A-Oh Spit at you my hatred, you don’t abandon me Ay-A-Oh You call me out for greatness, In weak I’m frail and blind Ay-A-Oh Half way through this life, I’m still at the starting line

Come Home 04:10
Come Home These Days are not lazy in the same way And my heart is foggy again Our song was a melody that grew over time and now I can’t hear your refrain Confusion surrounds with defining sound But I hear it first in my soul Despite my intention I started to question the voice that once drew me to go (Chorus) O come home When I call you You started a fire deep in my bones Never one to leave giants asleep But the heart that was broken is waiting in pieces for the healer that’s wanting to speak gather me in now im safe in your arms till the last breath of fury is gone and you tell me again the first part of our story as darkness breaks into dawn

Are You going my Way Watching You take your infant Breath, I begin my song My dreams are full of memories, where fear just don’t belong O to dance in Celebration, of tiny feet Of eyes that shine in the morning, and a smile that makes me weak (chorus) Are you going my way, on this long long way back home Are you going my way my song Are you dancing my way, I would love to dance along Are you going my way, my song Your joy at the newness of life reminding me Of a place before shame and sadness, where regret just can’t compete Remind me my little darling of the purity that I’ve lost O to see through the eyes of mercy Of the one who seeks the lost
