Another year
And more hard lessons have been learned
More lonely miles
A few more bridges crashed and burned
I’ve looked but never found safe harbour
Any place I turned
So now I’m here
And the road is my own
I’m heading onwards
To places still unknown
Am I leaving
or maybe heading
To somewhere I can call home
Call home
Jump on or step aside
stumble on, or take a ride
You know you’re for it
I see it in your eyes
You’re in the tip or you’re on the show
In the dark or in the know
You ain’t no rube
My instinct never lies
I hear the call but is it really
What - I’ve Been looking for?
Could take a chance or I may never ever know for sure
Come on and join The Show
You know you’ve nowhere else to go
You’ve made you mind
I knew before you knew
I’ll jump on and take that ride
And we will travel far and wide
Hi my name is Billie
Come on and meet the crew
We heard the call
Made up our mind
We Climbed aboard
Left worries behind
We heard the call
We’re for the show
Where ever it may go

Today’s the date
In a twist of fate
The is die cast anew for you
Steal yourself
There’s a wealth
Of things you can
know and do
But things
Seam a little bit hazy
Maybe just a bit crazy
Buts that’s the way it should be you’ll see
So come
Come and see what might happen
When you start breaking the pattern
Take the key and set your mind free
They’ll never understand
The guise of the magic man
How he
Can bind the truth with Fantasy
They’ll never see the plans
In the eyes of the magic man
How he
Can use the power of mystery
So don’t be late
Come tempt those fates
It’s waiting here for you its true
Heal yourself
Feel the wealth
Of things you can
know and do
Make things
Seam a little bit hazy
and just a little bit crazy
‘Cos that’s the way you’re free to be
So come
Time to see what might happen
Time to start breaking the pattern
Now come inherit key from me
There’s tragic history
To the mystery
Off all that is and will be
So tame the fantasy
Your sleight of hand will be
Hid from what they can see
be - cause
They’ll never understand
The guise of the magic man
How he
Can bind the truth with Fantasy
They’ll never see the plans
In the eyes of the magic man
How he
Can use the power of mystery
They’ll never understand
The lies of the magic man
How he
Can blind the truth with Fantasy
They’ll never see those plans
In the eyes of the magic man
How he
Can use the power of mystery

Stories

We all have our own story but
That’s a confidence game
Our truth or allegory
Are but one and the same
We’re all the heroes of the legend of what we became
Sideline the cameos, to reserve the acclaim
Time and time again I read what I knew
From time to time my story seams that it’s me and it’s you
We c ling to our own tales like
We believe them unique
Ignore all details
too complex or oblique
That narrow focus is a practiced and well honed technique
To, avoid attention and unwelcome critique
There’s just one story but,
The plot is in all our hands
The theme’s dependent on
where we should happen to stand
So keep on moving, see the different lies of the land
Just change perspective and
see what views take command

Falling (Down)
04:37
|

|
In a cage of my own creation
A locked and guarded soul
Life in crowded isolation
Was simpler on the whole
Well it seamed so undemanding
But it’s taking its toll
All this time of introspection
Such a lonely goal
But when she looks in my direction
I want to flee my soul
Now, I’ve no understanding
But I’m taking the role
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m hauling down for her
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m falling down to earth
Every sense and every feeling
Screams run and hide
But playing safe seams less appealing
And so unjustified
So I’ll throw my self onwards
With eyes opened wide
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m hauling down for her
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m falling down to earth
I’m hauling down for her
I’m falling down to earth
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m hauling down for her
Down! Down! Down!
Not for the last time
I’m falling down to earth

Power and Destiny
05:53
|

I’ve clawed my own way up this tower
Advanced through steely grit alone
It’s not about the wealth and power
I’m just better suited for the thrown
And staying up is never easy, but there’s
No purpose served in looking down
The lowly mass it will appease me
A worthy bearer of the crown
It’s a crazy undertaking now
But it is what I’m destined for
Never wonder, never question how
It’s just the writing on the wall
I am the man, this is the hour
My word is law, my will is right
Let they who challenges my power
Prepare to suffer in their fight
It’s a crazy undertaking now
But it is what I’m destined for
Never wonder, never question how
It’s just the writing on the wal

Gone Away
04:31
|

|
Tomorrow’s been and gone
It’s promise chased away
By the loading of the dice
And the choices of the day
But it seems it left behind
The traces of the way
The future could survive today
And time still marches on
The tides will wash away
Those best laid hopes and plans
We cling to day to day
But we’ll try out best to find
No matter what they say
A way we could deny today
And its all gone away
We’re reaping what was sewed
Our dream too far away today
And its all gone away
We’re reaping what was sewed
It’s seems we’ve just no say today
The Promise Lingers on
But the prospect fades away
The Essence all but gone
The substance cast astray
When hopes and fears collide
We’ll imagine come what may
A way we could rewrite the day
And its all gone away
We’re reaping what was sewed
Our dream too far away today
And its all gone away
We’re reaping what was sewed
It’s seems we’ve just no say today

All in All

It ain’t so complicated
It’s just the way it seems to be
And it has always been
It ain’t so long awaited
It’s just a secret private plea
For you and me
Holding on to the end
To the end of the day
Holding tight to the friend
We’ll defend come what may
It isn’t calculated
It’s just a natural way to lean
Unless you disagree?
We never hesitated
Or asked for any guarantee
Or any certainty
Holding on to the end
To the end of the day
Holding tight to the friend
We’ll defend come what may
It ain’t so complicated
It’s just the way it seems to be
And it has always been
It ain’t so long awaited
It’s just a secret private plea
For you and me-he
Holding on to the end
To the end of the day
Holding tight to the friend
We’ll defend come what may

Moments
05:06
|

|
By the grace of stolen moments
In the gaps between the beats
We glimpse the prospect of atonement
So complicit and bittersweet
A moment in time
Is all it ever needs
To change a heart, a mind, a deed
One moment in time
Is all it ever needs
And no one can tell where it leads
where it leads
Time ticks by and ever onward
But we have strength in the here and now
So trust that each and every one could
Affect the course somewhere some how
And we’re starting to believe it
we’re starting to believe
we’re starting to believe it
And belief is a pow-er-ful thing
Time ticks by and ever onward
But we have strength in the here and now

Rising Up
03:31
|

|
Poisoned preacher, tears in their eyes
A word of warning to the wise
Poison leacher, hand in the jar
A lowly sacrificial scar
Who’s to say when it’s out there in the air
A lack of understanding, A certain lack of flare
Who’s to say when its knocking at your door
Don’t trip over in your hurry to be first against the wall,
for ever more
Panic Buyers, brace for the storm
Delude themselves and misinform
Manic liars, confuse and underplay
So innuendo wins the day
Who’s to say when the genie’s out the jar
suspend un-end un-see, you’re better off by far
Who’s to say now its breaking down your door
keep playing for a win or declare the game a draw, for ever more
Rising up, Wise within
Only losers try to win by breaking in with such a grin
Who’s to see, who's to say?
Make your plans, keep on looking, you will find it anyway
Wising Up, Rise within
If we don’t like it we don’t always have to take it on the chin
Rising up, wise within
We’ll make our plans, we’ll stand ground, the hardest step is to begin

Finale
07:12

All things done at the end of the day
The play has stopped the game packed away
Another sucker still willing to pay
But it’s is all done now
Pay your tab and stumble away
The fire’s out on the latest affray
Memories fade of the sins of the day
Yes it’s all gone now
Wise up, rise up and cease it
Tomorrow’s already begun
Wise up and size up that feeling
The battle’s already half won
And I know all the times we’ve been cheated and let down
Screwed over, left standing alone
Our life won’t be theirs by the end of tonight
Tomorrow we’ll bring it on home
Don’t you wonder
If all has been said
When the thief's at the end of the bed
The last chapter is best left unread
But its all read now
Wise up, rise up and cease it
Tomorrow’s already begun
Wise up and size up that feeling
The battle’s already half won
And I know all the times we’ve been cheated and let down
Screwed over, left standing alone
Our life won’t be theirs by the end of tonight
Tomorrow it’s all coming home
Wise up, rise up and seize it
Tomorrow’s for taking today
Won’t you, wise up, rise up and cease it?
No one’s forsaking today
Wise up, rise up and seize it
Tomorrow’s for taking today
Won’t you wise up, rise up and cease it?
No one’s forsaken today
Wise up, rise up and seize it
Tomorrow’s for taking today
Wise up, rise up and cease it
No one’s forsaking today
Wise up, rise up and seize it
Tomorrow’s for taking today
Won’t you wise up, rise up and cease it
No one’s forsaken today
