We made it through In our separate ways Much better than we knew Back when hearts were ablaze Time moves us on From spring to summer In the rights and the wrongs Seasons change from autumn to winter And a memory that comes to mind Was not meant to be I see in time And now I realise My dreams were my disguise We’re all looking for something Trying to pin it down In all sorts of places Hoping we might be found Sometimes we only get moments But they define What is real and what is token And they will always remind And a memory that comes to mind Was not meant to be I see in time And now I realise My dreams were my disguise I will remember You were a gift to me Nothing between us taken lightly But in hindsight I see There is a turning A point at which we’re broken Memory is preserved And I have awoken And a memory that comes to mind I receive and it makes me smile Before I realise I’ll be taken by surprise

What did you say Could you have said it any other way Could you have held my hand Helped me to understand Could you have looked me in the eye So I can question why Cause I don’t believe you What did you say Is that a game you play Do you smile at me To relieve or to tease me Do you perform to everyone And I’m the only one That sees this dichotomy What did you do Was it up to you Did you think twice Or just roll a dice Did you count the cost Or was there nothing lost In your view What did you see Was it a catastrophe Did it expand your view Or show you nothing new Is the future out of sight Or are we holding tight Clinging to what’s meant to be Broken trust, what will it take When you realise what is at stake What is it to be Is there enough of me Can I look you in the eye Try to understand why Was this only about you But in reality, it takes two What did you hear Did it calm or release your fear Does it bring us close Or tear us apart like most Do we put it aside Or go on in denial Only we decide Only we decide

Can I live with myself inside a world that doesn’t care Can I keep holding on to dreams we share When hearts are searching, voices are crying While we are laughing people are dying And every day I have a choice And every day I have a voice Sometimes I think we forget This world is made of people Don’t forget This world is made of people There are many answers, there are many to blame And there are as many faces, too countless to name Voices of young, voices of old Too many stories are not being told And every day I have a voice And every day I have a choice Sometimes I think we forget This world is made of people Don’t forget This world is made of people I can do nothing, I can live in shame But You watched a helpless world, walked right in and met its pain All I have is found in You May I be known by what I do And every day I have a choice And every day I have a voice Sometimes I think we forget This world is made of people Don’t forget This world is made of people Now everybody in this world has got a reason for being Some do great stuff, others do greater stuff So never minimise the gift that your neighbour’s is got See a man can never survive as lone ranger That’s why everybody needs someone else to be stronger Now I bleed red, and you bleed red Instead of focusing on hate let’s do love instead Different colours make a beautiful world cause Colours are meant to bring glory to the light So, give each other a chance and see it go right And whatever was dark and dull will begin to get bright This world is round, what goes around comes around So, do onto others what you want to be done to you So, every day, we all got a voice, so let’s make a choice to make some beautiful noise - hey Every day we all got a voice, so let’s make a choice to make some beautiful noise Don’t forget, this world is made of people Don’t forget, this world is made of people What is justice, what is right, what is fair Give it out, go into the world and share We speak of truth, we speak of hope We may be empty, but we are not alone In this world you will find People – they will make you come alive And every day I have a voice And every day I have a choice To live at peace with myself In a world that is made of people Don’t forget This world is made of people Don’t forget This world is made of people

How can I be lost inside my own world Not feeling able to stand alone Fear and doubt grip at walls within me When I wanted my heart to be your home Why am I waiting and not wanting Not a word to say out loud Of who I am or what I long for Just another lost face in the crowd My thoughts are falling And I am fighting I am fighting for me What fills the spaces inside me What is meant and perceived I fill my thoughts lost in wonder Some I hold and some recede Why do I stand in my own shadow Not let the sun light up my face Where is this girl who knows her own mind What will make her willing to embrace My thoughts are falling And I am fighting I am fighting for me A hope, a restless longing For peace and belonging And where it is No one can see, but me You must ask yourself Where do you go At the times when the smiles show I want to be there too How does it flow From your head and to your toe I want to go with you To the spaces, you were happy there To the places, do you remember where That part of you, that part of you Where do you go Where do you go Where do you go

To and fro, just by connection And a shared, hoped for, unspoken intention I’m looking at you, not what surrounds you No preconditions, previously placed by perceptions Sitting on stools, you share much more than you needed to But I’m glad, that you thought, that you felt, that you could I’m listening to you; I embrace it as I might hope I would But your eyes on me, your smiles, I’ve enjoyed this, I cannot deny Here, so free, I might appear to be But you are unravelling me It feels like I’m falling, then I stop, and I realise Is this real, or is this something, that my heart doesn’t recognise It feels like I’m falling, then I stop, and I realise This is real, this is something that my heart has recognised

My thoughts are skimming like stones Passing over everything I know Tears rise moist like dew Remembering every thought of you Time is ever changing Steady but always breathing Back then I was proud I wore fear like a protective shroud Where in the world are you now What sort of life have you found Eyes command a view I’ve always been looking out for you Shafts of sun can cast a different hue On how I thought but then I always knew Where in the world are you now What sort of life have you found I loved you then, and I love you now Reason - a turning tide Washing away secrets from my mind Smiles - they are a breaking dawn Freeing, they carry me along Where in the world are you now What sort of life have you found I loved you then, and I love you now My thoughts are skimming like stones Passing over everything I know

Have I fallen for you Chasing dreams standing next to you What is this thing that we share Knowing you’re there knowing you care Reaching for something new On this day when I say ‘I do’ What is this thing that we hold When we exchange rings of gold Meet me at the water’s edge Meet me at the water’s edge In low tide, in high tide I’ll be by your side Ripples of water chasing my feet I’ve waded in waters much too deep In between the ebb and the flow There is one thing that I know Take me out, or wash me in Feel the salt upon our skin Standing upon this shore With you I cannot want for more Meet me at the water’s edge Meet me at the water’s edge In low tide, in high tide I’ll be by your side Footprints marking lives in sand Wash away in this space between sea and land Sometimes still and sometimes storm Tide out at night and back in morn Waves crash, currents erode What will pass is not foretold Here between the rip and the curl This is where our lives unfurl Meet me at the water’s edge Meet me at the water’s edge In low tide, in high tide I’ll be by your side Wind and water a mighty force They let us navigate and chart a course Sun by day giving warmth and light Moon and stars to span the night Step on the ship and out to sea Climb aboard and sail with me So meet me at the water’s edge Stand together and make our pledge Meet me at the water’s edge Meet me at the water’s edge Meet me

Cars pass by, you are holding me In the night sky, you’re speaking me to sleep Follow you around the garden Put in the fork, pull out the dandelion Crashing waves upon the rocks On the beach pull off my socks Run away, between tears Step into ripples and face my fears Cycling on ahead of you Another year, another picture Bicycles, juice and biscuits Afternoons beside the river Nothing can make me love you any more You’ve held my hand, given me more than I deserve Sat with me at the desk Pencil and paper pull out the test Working out, you make me see Found a way so it made sense to me Making school projects come alive Throwing in the orange peel Falling asleep as you taught me to drive Sort out exam stress with a late pizza meal Nothing can make me love you any more You’ve held my hand, given me more than I deserve Waves goodbye so many times You give me space to go and find Who I am and what I want to do You let me go, you know you needed to You knew me then, and you know me now You look into my eyes and see through me, every time Nothing can make me love you any more You’ve held my hand, given me more than I deserve Remember the smell of the bakery Your advice, saying ‘it’s not easy’ You’d answer in the way that you could You’d approach things in the way that you would Nothing can make me love you any more, than I do You’ve held my hand, given me more than I deserve Sit on the step, look across the fields Lives that lived here, all that they yield Familiar places, changing times This is home

Gone, seems too soon The void, so much room That you filled with your life and your love I ask, is memory enough Hold on, hold on to your heart Grief will try and tear it apart Sifting, with what I fill my life Putting, some things to the side If I have all that I need Is there still space to hope and dream Hold on to your heart, but you may never know Give up some things, let the others flow Open, or wanting proof Is life richer, if but for you I was running out of time, the day that I met you I was waiting for thoughts to realign from what I knew Hold on to your heart, don’t let it be confused But be open, and let parts of it choose Are we wasting time before we realise I was born to live to be surprised We hang in shadows that surround When all we want is to be found Hold on to your heart, to your own self be true Living freely, and be what makes you you If there are stories left to be told There for the taking, then let our lives behold

Still is my soul today Thoughts and dreams, the ones that flew away Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know They do not belie They do not deny A moment of honesty Let in risk and vulnerability Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know How to love, how to heal I felt it all, it was true and real A necessary solitude Rebuilding faith and fortitude Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know In love and pain, they are the same They bring me peace, this restless heart is put at ease I won’t put memory in a box But push and find peace in paradox Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know That in letting go, we begin to own Silence my mind, trust and take my time Tears fall, like they fell before You held me there and You’ll hold me here Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know That I am free, finally A window to my soul, they make me whole Tears fall, they tell me all I need to know There is no reply, and I don’t ask why They are so pure, and I am sure That when tears fall They tell me all I need to know

Cast your mind go back in time To places, to people who remind You were rooted, you knew where you were supposed to be Other times were barefoot, living in moments fancy free Eyes on the horizon, thirsty to explore to be alone People became your friends and places became home And you realise that every journey made Becomes part of you, a time you will not trade What of all the memories that are made along the way Part of goodbyes is the belief I’ll be seeing you someday Recall the person that made you feel alive You felt at home, you felt at peace, how can I describe Every glance between you, every twinkling of an eye It said a thousand words as did every single smile You can see everything, this is just the start But things they come to pass, and people part When you realise that healing has no remedy And you surprise yourself, you’re stronger than you’re meant to be Is this darkness or a shadow cast by light I cannot see Got to hold on, lean in, learn to live with mystery Are we just holding on, not wanting to be free Fighting to go back, find things the way they used to be Are you one with yourself, putting everything in place Put it all away, let your story leave no trace Take me to moments that define Where time is still, in date and time You were at my beginning, I’ll be at your leaving You taught me loving, and you taught me living Always behind and before me, and you always knew Every day I understand how I’m exactly like you And you realise that every life is lived We see but a part, so much of us is hid If the best things in life are free You gave so freely, you gave your best to me And every part of me can strive to understand But in the end, I will resign, I’ll hold out my hands What is given, what is taken Why do we feel most alive when our hearts are breaking I have hopes and I have doubts, but they are not in vain Do we really think that we can go through life simply living without pain At the end of the day, when there’s nothing left to be said Another time, and another day There’s always something, that takes my breath away

When this war’s over Look over your shoulder I will be waiting for you Across frosted fields Where debt is sealed Unyielding grace will be the sign that leads you home When I am free Won’t you carry me From this battlefield of life Oh, lay me down Where I can see the sky and know That your arms are open wide Oh, hold me close Oh, hold me close, like a child Oh, hold me close This could be

When life is full of broken things Words that are said, memories that sting When you lock the past, say it’s gone for good When answers may be found there, we might have misunderstood What if it all came out What if it all came out, like water from a tributary To join with other streams, stories flowing to the sea If there are places where you fear to go Where you might find hidden truths that you did not know All we are, all we have been The parts that are closed, the parts that are seen What if it all came out What if it all came out, like a rush of steam From a fiery furnace, driving the engine forward, to new things All those things you hold inside Time and time, you have denied yourself To fully live in the truth of who you really are Instead you stand at the side and watch from afar What if it all came out What if it all comes out, and it turns a key That unlocks a door, that opens wide, and sets you free This could be This could be This could be – what if it all came out When your truth is told When you have shared part of your soul You can take what you will But to have peace you must be still What if it all came out, with a sigh and a tear I’m here
