Another frequent flyer
Another tube gone into solid state A pay and fee supplier Set out to prove that it is not too late Just another potential trying Look around and you might be flying now All along a secret song was playing in my mind Like a window to another world It's hard to leave the storm when it's still raining deep inside And your heart is like a whirlwind Your heart is like a whirlwind Spinning through the sky Today's another day So make it yours, don't wish the time away You've got your song to sing So make it happen and break away The morning brings a new beginning Don't drag your wheels gotta keep them spinning Another day you could be winning now All along a secret song was playing in my mind Like a window to another world It's hard to leave the storm When it's still raining deep inside And your heart is like a whirlwind Yeah, your heart is like a whirlwind Raging through the sky Far and away, I thought I'd be closer now The place of knowing is far and away from me Maybe someday when all the wind dies down Love will come calling But it's far and away from me Now... 03. Higher Than The Morning Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Be long - Be long - Better to belong
As the bombs fall to the ground Lights go out in a far away town For weeks we've heard only prayers for rain But the answer is 'fire' - again and again We're all victims of circumstance They are just bricks - lives in the balance Hoops of fire join the dance Strike by night - don't stand a chance Climb higher than the morning Clouds gather without warning Climb higher than the morning Winds fly without a warning to the NIGHT Be long - be long So many kings - but there's only one crown In the end the weakest has to back down He lost his face - now he looks like a clown On a river of gold - but he's bound to drown He built his kingdom on deceit and lies There's this frightening void if you look in his eyes It's so revolting, either that or you're amused To see what those objects do out there From out of boredom you partake But you're confused You're not so great as you once thought you were Climb higher than the morning Clouds gather without warning Climb higher than the morning Winds fly without a warning to the NIGHT Here - there is a fire There - deep as desire Far and away from me Reach - there in the quiet Seek - and you will find it Right where it's said to be Heart is like a whirlwind Heart is like a whirlwind 04. The Darkness In The Light Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Now that he's gone you can finally find out what went wrong
There's a new deck of cards But the smell of foul play lingers on Light as a feather you testify - a blood red tide Hang out to dry Right in the middle and you think You can't stand the heat You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light All that was decent is void and lost to this world Seems like all of the glory Will finally give in and burn You're on the dark side But you wait for the warmth of the sun It all feels so different When you've lost the touch and you're blind You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light 05. Swing High, Swing Low Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Where were you when I was losing everything?
And I stood inside the threshing in my mind Locked inside a whirlwind I cried out in hope 'Cause you said you would not leave me behind So swing high, swing low Just get me through to tomorrow Swing high, swing low Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home, yeah I've been through times When there was nothing here for me A child left abandoned on the earth Laid out on the floor in silent suffering 'Cause there was nowhere left That I could search So swing high, swing low Just get me through to tomorrow Swing high, swing low Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' So swing high, swing low Just get me through to tomorrow Swing high, swing low Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home 06. Bully Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Swing high, swing low
The old man is cutting, killing You said "hey, just be willing" Now I'm so far from feelin' fine Bully! You said you'd be my anchor I'm left without an answer Plagued by this anger in my mind Bully! See it doesn't matter what path you take Or the road you're on 'Cause the flesh is strong You're gonna have a thorn When it feels like it's totally worthless anyway Let the record play! Let the record play! Yeah it doesn't matter what path you take Or the road you're on 'Cause the flesh is strong You're gonna have a thorn When it feels like it's totally worthless anyway Let the record play Let the record play out all the way! OH YEAH! Swing High, swing Low 07. Rainbow Sky Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Why do you want to live your own special way
There's trouble, ok? Why not take it day by day? Is it my fault that you've got stars in your eyes? It ain't no surprise You're livin' a book of lies Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky There's something special about riding the storm Fall into norms and building your precious home Now you may think that you're not built to comply You'd rather fly high and live in this glorious lie Oh ho ho.. Do you ask yourself the reasons why? Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky Oh ho ho.. So you hold on tight to that big old lie Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky Oh ho ho.. Why don't you turn with the wind? Fly in a rainbow sky 08. Looking For The Light Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Summer came, winter's gone
Your sun will set before too long Everyone's got a secret disguise You thought you were the Bowie Nazz Your Howard Roark's a sorry spaz You rip off even songs you despise Yeah! You're deep into the night Looking for the light Black is black And blood is red The ego is the fountainhead Here the human race is all wrong You could be the greatest still Forget the world and set your will Only the helpless need to belong Yeah! You're deep into the night Looking for the light You're deep into the night Looking for the light 09. The World We Used To Know Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
The world we used to know is slowly changing
The things we learned to fear Keep on rearranging The upside will fall down And while we watch, we live we learn This old world keep on turning Then burn, burn, burn! You're on the outside looking in So you place your bet But there is no game, there is no winner Right in the darkest of energies No remedies There's no way you can justify this On and on and on The world we used to know is getting colder The madman's on a quest He's shaking borders His hand is upon a crown But when he slip the world is falling down This world will never learn Just burn, burn, burn You're on the outside looking in So you place your bet But there is no game, there is no winner If we could go back and make it right There's no remedy There's a cold world and we're getting older You're in a circle of black & white Convenient lies But there's no way that you can fight it We look at life from the other side With different eyes With different eyes When love lays down With your feet upon the ground You can't hide, it's all around It's who you are! When the rain, it falls so hard Like a whirlwind in your heart But your soul will see the sun It's who you are 10. The Sun Comes Up Today Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
You thought you could be strong
And right those wrongs But you felt no change And where those dangers lie You cut those ties but you felt the same Calm your restless soul Then your demons will let go The Sun comes up today Let the whole world fade away The sun comes up today Let your old world fall away You left your haunted house Your fears and doubts To work it out The walls you left behind To cross those lines Forgotten now When you take control Your destiny unfolds The Sun comes up today Let the whole world fade away The sun comes up today Let your old world fall away Climb higher than the morning Clouds gather without warning Climb higher than the morning Clouds gather without warning to the night 11. Love Made A Way (Prelude) Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Love made a way
When there was no way out When sadness was always Love made a way for me There came a day When I didn't know myself In broken belonging Love made a way for me 12. Owl Howl Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Blackbird - Blackbird - what have you done?
Under the moon - old smoking gun Silhouette of thin boys and girls that disappear into the underworld Pale moon in the land of loss Paper thin are the doors of loss I've been looking for remedies I have looked for some sympathy Stillborn in the land of loss Lost within or without a cross As she comes and take you away The night is cold and everlasting Orchestrator of chaos and dismay Hollow the halo - and empty the laughter... 13. Solitude Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
When it came it was far worse than expected
For many nights and days and days So I curled up in my comfortable place And huddled with my possessions And wondered what is worth fighting for When I felt so far away There in the dark with my solitude Looking for answers to questions why Asking myself, what will I become? Searching for clues that will ease my mind So I locked the doors And I turned off all devices And I seemed to live in metaphors In oh so many ways And in the darkest dead of night I came to a conclusion There was only one solution That could help me find a way There in the dark with my solitude Finding the answers to questions why Solving the clues so I understand Seeing myself and what I've become Love made a way When there was no way out When I was hopeless Love made a way for me Reaching for dawn as I start to rise Bracing myself for the doubt inside But there's a fire in my soul And it's burning now To fight for my life and be homeward bound Love made a way When I was broken down Out in the shadows And love made a way for me Far and away I think I got closer now I'm making some headway And it's feelin' alright to me 14. Belong Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Be long - Be Long - Better to belong
Be long - Be Long - Better to belong Move on - Move on - Better to move on We are ready to move on See the millions waiting for the sun Move on Move on - Better to move on Dig it again - dig it again! 15. Lonesome Rebel Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
There's a man with a telescope
He's in the trade of 'Peace & Dope' He's pointing at a house up in the hills It's brand new times for the mission bell The word is out - he found the well Bottle up - bottle up to sell The night is strangely bright This cavalcade of convenient lies Count them under starry skies There's no way you can hide it Waltz like a traitor - Mind he's a handsome devil Once he was the greatest But now he is doomed forever There's a man on the telephone He's in the crowd, but still alone Seen it all - and he made his call to me He said 'the world is in distress' 'The politics - it's all a mess' Before we know he'll put it all to rest The night is strangely bright This cavalcade of convenient lies Count them under starry skies There's no way you can hide it Call for a favor - back to the curse of labor Call for a traitor - rise to the highest level Cry for a savior - and God he just sent a rebel He once was the greatest Now he's a lonesome rebel 16. Looking For The Light (Reprise) Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Some will say the self is best
The only truth is selfishness There's nothing more than this flesh and bone Well I've lived that life and testified Dwelled among the sons of pride It only left me cold and alone Yeah! Don't sink into the night Keep looking for the light Don't sink into the night Keep looking for the - Looking for the light 17. The Greatest Story Never Ends Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
As every storybook must surely start to close
We see the message that they send But as every one of us alive already knows The greatest story never ends Belong, belong, better to belong Your line in the letter He's still here when you and I are gone Love will make it better Belong, belong, better to belong Your line in the letter Love will make it better Belong, belong, better to belong! 18. Love Made A Way Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Where were you when I was all but over?
Looking at the wreckage of my life Was your arm not long enough to grab a hold? Or were you right there with me all the time? All along a sacred song was playing in my mind Like a window to another world All that matters now is that I feel you deep inside me When my heart is like a whirlwind Yeah, when my heart is like a whirlwind I know it'll be alright Love made a way When there was no way out As I lay dying Love made a way for me This is the way That you must know yourself Always defining What you were meant to be Here - There is a fire There - Deep as desire Far beyond what we see Reach - There in the quiet Seek - And you will find it Right where it's said to be Love made a way When there was no way out Open the moment Your heart it holds the key Bright - As a new morning Rush - As the sky soaring Wide - As the open sea Free - 'Cause it costs nothing High - As the sun pouring Love - Even down to me After the rain All that will remain is LOVE |
