Bigger Than Before 03:52
lyrics

It don't take much To carry on To drop the crutch And walk free from All other's expectations It's time to be inspired Believe it or not I'm leaving for the other side And when you see me again I'll be bigger than Bigger than before I tried again At every let down I grew a skin To shield me from All other's expectations Found time to be inspired Believe it or not I'm leaving for the other side And when you see me again I'll be bigger than Bigger than before I'm leaving for the other side And when you see me again I'll be bigger than Bigger than before Believe it or not I'm leaving for the other side And when you see me again I'll be bigger than Bigger than before I'm leaving for the other side And when you see me again I'll be bigger than Bigger than before Bigger than before Bigger than before

High Sights 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Playing it down To avoid disappointing myself Falling in line To please everyone else Time after time Not being true to myself When I knew inside I was somebody else I found the courage To go all out and run If there's something I have learned It's to set my sights high If there's one thing I have learned It's to set my sights high Going for broke Instead of holding back Believing in me When I'm under attack Sometimes it seems hard But there's no going back I'll carry on I'll never crack I found the courage To go all out and run If there's something I have learned It's to set my sights high If there's something I have learned It's to set my sights high If there's one thing I have learned It's to set my sights high If there's one thing I have learned It's to set my sights high We can find the courage To go all out and run If there's something we gotta learn It's to set our sights high If there's something we gotta learn It's to set our sights high If there's one thing we gotta learn It's to set our sights high If there's one thing we gotta learn It's to set our sights high

Outrunning Time 04:14
lyrics

Future's in the past Leaves present far behind Determined by a history That's written in my mind And so to avoid the same mistakes I'd change the order of my fate But I can't outrun time (it's running out) I can't outrun time It's running out It's running out Unravelling my dreams Day after day Sometimes I see eternity So long I have to wait What comes first, What comes last No way to know it's gone so fast And I can't outrun time (it's running out) I can't outrun time It's running out It's running out I can't outrun time (it's running out) I can't outrun time It's running out It's running out It's running out It's running out

Trust Yourself 03:22
lyrics
buy track
You know I'll always listen But it has to go both ways I'll tell you straight If you need waking up To the problems that you face Everything changes Moves on comes to an end And if you turn your back now You'll come apart my friend Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself You're tired of the blues You just can't let them go I am too, but I just keep playing The only way I know I may not be a prophet In fact I'm in the red But even when I'm sinking I try to keep my head Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself Trust yourself Trust yourself Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself Don't ask me for guidance Trust yourself

Another Part of You 04:19
lyrics

So often overlooked The influence you got On all you see, feel and touch You're always on the spot Whether you're awake Ready or not You're forever choosing And choosing a whole lot You're so close to everything You wouldn't believe Everything that you have now Is all you'll ever need Things appear, they come along They all look brand new But they were all exisiting As another part of you Another part of you When you have a way to go You may just be a step Away, but you will never know If you can't see it yet And when you're left wanting That's when you push away And it will keep haunting you Until you make it pay You're so close to everything You wouldn't believe Everything that you have now Is all you'll ever need Things appear, they come along They all look brand new But they were all exisiting As another part of you When you feel Something real Coming form your heart You can make You can create Something new to start You're so close to everything You wouldn't believe Everything that you have now Is all you'll ever need Things appear, they come along They all look brand new But they were all exisiting As another part of you Another part of you Another part of you Another part of you Another part of you Oh, Another part of you Oh yeah Another part of you

No Escape 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Just need time To get a break A lifeline Just wanna take A few breaths Away from the noise Try to run, but there's no escape Into the sun and there's no escape Away from myself, no there's no escape But there's no need, it's just a game Too many egos In my face I dreamed for years To leave that place Now I'm free, I see The biggest ego was me And I... Try to run, but there's no escape Into the sun and there's no escape Away from myself, no there's no escape But there's no need, it's just a game Gotta play, can't run away 'Cause it's everywhere Part of me That's OK I can honestly say That there's nowhere to run Don't try to run 'cause there's no escape Into the sun and there's no escape Away from ourselves and there's no escape Away away and there's no escape 'Cause it's just a game we're all playing It's just a game and you gotta play 'Cause there's no escape No escape

Something Right 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Knowing my intentions were good Just trying to be all I could For everyone I meet To be the best I can To be a useful man A pillar of my community On the end of harsh words Being the subject of rumours I must be doing something right So many opinions I guess that means I am someone I must be doing something right I used to feel a sting Whenever I heard things That people said to put me down But now I see A hint of jealousy When my name gets around On the end of harsh words Being the subject of rumours I must be doing something right So many opinions I guess that means I am someone I must be doing something right Like I said I'm here to share I don't fear, no I don't care If you come out ahead of me Whatever that's supposed to mean I'm just lovin... Being me So speak your harsh words Keep on spreading your rumours I must be doing something right Everyone's got opinions I guess that means I am someone I must be doing something right

Out on a High 04:14
lyrics
buy track
There's no way this ends today Unless it's destined to be So if I go, one thing I know I will be free I'm going out I'm going out On a high There's no way I'll fade away Or go so quietly With dignity... Maybe But always in style I'm going out I'm going out On a high I'm going out I'm going out On a high Just for the hell of it Just for the hell of it I'm going out I'm going out On a high I'm going out I'm going out On a high On a high On a high On a high
