For Giving Music and lyrics by Lara Martin Lyrics: I heard that there’s a storm that’s going on not far from here I know that there are wars that still persist year after year There is a fire burning all the chaos in my head I’m sick and tired; I’ll either change the world or go back to bed Chorus: What if we left this planet a little brighter than it was before? Maybe if wisdom ran it, we would understand what our two hands are for. They are for giving, Forgiving, For Giving And as the water rises, we are drowning in the consequence we made Disastrous world surprises, but are they really a surprise when what we’ve paved is a Godless world No shame, but we’re happy placing blame Look at ourselves Be the change you wish to see What if we left this planet a little brighter than it was before Maybe if wisdom ran it, we would understand what our two hands are for What if we left this planet a little brighter than it was before Maybe if wisdom ran it we would understand what our two hands are for They are for giving, Forgiving For Giving Corruption destruction and lying, people are needlessly dieing, what is this madness all for? I know there’s no simple solution, let truth be a peace revolution that opens perceptual doors more and more. Let’s pray that from the ashes will rise a different civilization, one built on consultation, communication. Let’s say we get together to make the world a little bit better compassion in action will soar more and more. What if we left this planet a little brighter than it was before maybe if wisdom ran it we would understand what our two hands are for, they are For giving, Forgiving For Giving….repeat

These are restless times when I can feel the space around my place and in my heart Please send me a sign that we are meant to be eternally, we'll never part Yet in my doubt I long to shout, can this be true I'm so confused, yet I refuse to let you go cause I don't know yeah I don't know. Peace I can not find, when I'm without a trace of your embrace, my thoughts unwind Love they say is blind but can it also be so pure and free so sweet and kind Yet in my doubt, I long to shout, can this be true, I'm so confused what if I choose to let you go, Oh I don't know, yeah I don't know

Love will find a way Music and lyrics by Lara Martin Moving Pictures flicker in your eyes The burning embers of another time I’d give you all the faith I have inside If it could reignite a spark to heal your heavy heart Love will find a way Believe that love will find a way believe that love will find a way Believe that love will find a way a way In winter only dreamers can survive the vacant stillness of a greying sky I’d give you all the heat I have inside If you could know that spring is closer than you realize Love will find a way Believe that love will find a way believe that love will find a way believe that love will find a way I’d climb the very oldest highest tree And sing a hymn of hope and reverie If you could feel it seep into your bones And know without a doubt you’re not alone Love will find a way….

Half Light 04:22
Half Light I heard the whispering of endings from the start But I chose to disregard the promptings of my heart All my belongings now are gathered at the door But what is this baggage for I just needed myself and nothing more I got your note, and I reflected on every angry word you wrote Making it easier easier… Chorus I can not stay here anymore There’s a part of me that’s dieing that I’m needing to restore I can not live in this half light We ain’t growing in these shadows and I’m needing something bright I tried to tell you when I felt this strange demise but you were too comfortable Living in oblivion and lies You looked in my eyes and saw the goodbyes so plainly and so clear You covered my mouth and wouldn’t let out the things you didn’t want to hear I got your note and I reflected on every angry word you wrote making it easier easier… Chorus I can not stay here anymore There’s a part of me that’s dieing that I’m needing to restore I can not live in this half light We ain’t growing in these shadows and I’m needing something bright

Steady Beating Drum I woke up lonely. This wasn’t new It wasn’t only about missing you Something was killing deep inside my soul Wanted to run and look the other way Worry began to seize all the controls Throw me a latter to a higher plane (then it came) You are addicted to your beliefs You play the victim, like a steady beating drum If you’re conflicted by what you see, you run habitual emotion on repeat Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh When he was younger, just barely five, he heard his father say boys don’t cry. Now that you’re older you must understand you are a soldier be a strong young man. Then when your buried tears turn into pain, pray for a latter to a higher plane (then it came) You are addicted to your beliefs, you play the tough one like a steady beating drum If your conflicted by what you see, you run habitual emotion on repeat Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Let go, let go You are more than what you fear or think you know Let go let go Like a river be the beauty that just flows Oh Oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh
