Starlight Child

If you can ride with the waves you’ll find what’s beyond the sea
If you can roll with the hills you’ll catch the dew on the dogwood trees
If you can change with the seasons it will be easy to be free
You are a starlight child
You only have to be willing, don’t need a reason why
If you can wait ’til the evening underneath the sky
It’s like a beautiful midnight reverie that’s going by
You are a starlight child
Starlight child you were born in summer
You’re the same as I am and we were made to wander
We can stay and dance a while the night will soon be over
And you are a starlight child
Intoxicating splendor just to be alive
I can never remember until I step inside
It’s like a beautiful midnight reverie that’s going by
You are a starlight child
Starlight child, you were born in summer
You’re the same as I am and we were made to wander
We can stay and dance a while the night will soon be over
And you are a starlight child

Choppy Water
still dreaming, still in love with this town
even when those dreams all come crashing down
in a million pieces like raindrops on the ground
now they’re falling, falling all around
beware of fake fakers, big breakers,
time takers, backstabbers and all oh oh
I got to be better, stay stronger, keep steady,
be a navigator oh oh through choppy water
choppy water
I’m waking up to blue skies coming out
opening my new eyes shaking off my doubt
reborn from the water one foot then the other
makes me want to, makes me want to shout
beware of fake fakers, big breakers,
time takers, backstabbers and all oh oh
I got to be better, stay stronger, keep steady
be a navigator oh oh through choppy water
choppy water
through choppy water

Radio Earth

Ever since the dawn of man we’ve been staring up into the sky
Now we’re searching and turning dials but static is all we find
We’re sending signals and broadcasting out into the unknown
But we’re just shooting in the dark and wondering if we’re really alone
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
this is radio earth
it is such an empty feeling to know the stars are so far away
as we maintain our solitude in the vastness of endless space
it may be so that we’ll never know what it means to call somewhere else home
but it’s a cold universe to live in all on our own
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
this is radio earth
Just a lost little blue dot sending out radio waves
There could be someone just like us looking up and doing the same
Maybe they’re out there listening now to a song from a long time ago
Tuning in to the sound around a sun that we don’t know
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
Are we coming in clear?
Is there anyone near?
this is radio earth

Missionary Ridge
07:28

I can see the smoke from the back of the factory rise
A sleepy southern river that’s as old as the hills goes by
When the sun is setting and I hear all the cars go past
I can’t help but thinking is there anything meant to last?
I was just a boy with his head filled with make-believe
Playing toy soldiers in the yard until it’s time to sleep
Trusting that it was the way it was because you told me so
But anything that starts has to end when you let it go
On Missionary Ridge, it was the night of the meteor shower
Standing on the edge keeping watch we waited for the hour
Everything was different in a moment and the world was new
My eyes were filled with falling lights and wonder too
you take what you love most in the world and protect it
sometimes too much worry, in the end, does the opposite
it’s easy to look back and say I wish I’d done it differently
but life only moves forward you can’t think that way and be free
Swallowed by the city now I’m hoping it won’t come to that
been thinking about the time that I’ve lost and I can’t get back
lately, it can seem like my memory’s playing tricks on me
in wave after wave like an ocean of infinity
On Missionary Ridge it was the night of the meteor shower
Standing on the edge keeping watch we waited for the hour
Everything was different in a moment and the world was new
My eyes were filled with falling lights and wonder too
And wonder too . . .

Summer

There’s a bar on the shore where blows a tropical wind
Men weary from the war come wandering in
All those who pass that way tell of a girl by the sea
And of a face could set a soldier’s heart free
they call her Summer and if you love her
you’ll always remember what might have been
She walks the beach alone with a faraway stare
the smell of salt in the foam wind an in her auburn hair
there’s sadness in her eyes and a ring on her hand
you may hold her at night but you won’t understand
they call her Summer and if you love her
you’ll always remember what might have been
what might have been
When she first saw him coming in from the storm
he was smiling bravely in his uniform
now no one knows where he’s gone
such is a soldiers end
you’ll see her laugh with the men
but she’ll never give her heart away again
they call her Summer and if you love her
you’ll always remember what might have been
what might have been
they call her Summer
and if you love her
you’ll always remember what might have been
what might have been
what might have been
what might have been
what might have been

A Path Paved With Roses
A boy can dream, but what a pitiful sight to see,
lonely as he can be and he knows it
she’s out of reach, but what a sad and lovely sight to see
when she’s walking away on a path that’s paved with roses
She said “I don’t mind if I get lost until tomorrow,
maybe somewhere far away where petals fall like snow
and the water follows down a path paved with roses“
She silhouettes the horizon and waits right there for the night
his heart was forever rising like a searchlight in the sky
she was born into luxury on the opposite side of town
he sees through the trees in the moonlight only what she shows him
then she said “alright, come on, I’ll really show you something, it’s down on 5th Avenue”
and she led him away on a path paved with roses
She said “I don’t mind if we get lost until tomorrow,
maybe somewhere far away where petals fall like snow
and the water follows down a path paved with roses“

After talking to you i could see we’re on the level
We stood in a daze but knew what time it was
The same could be said for when my hair was dishevelled
And I woke up in the bed and I didn’t know what time it was
Well that’s the way it will be and the way it’s always been
It’s the story of love and when it’s done it’s done
You see it happened before and it will happen again
You can call it deja vu but there’s nothing new under the sun
Well they burned to the ground all the cities in sight
And mobilized entire nations
They launched a thousand ships with a sacrifice
Watched the fall and decline of a civilization
Yes history repeats and i don’t know when
But one day there’s a flood that’s gonna come
if it happened before it will happen again
Only feels like deja vu ‘cause there’s nothing new under the sun
Under the sun, the sun
There’s nothing new under the sun, under the sun
There’s nothing new under the sun, under the sun
Under the sun
