Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved the wretch like me
I once was lost, but now l'm found
Was blind, but now I see











Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved the wretch like me
I once was lost, but now l'm found
Was blind, but now I see

Writer(s):

I can still recall the time you said softly to me
that the deepest night gives in to dawn
Staring out into the endless dark of night
The starlight was waiting for the morn

Through the pain, the sorrow,
all the things that life may bring
When I felt that I could not go on
You were always standing there right by my side
Now I know I can be strong

From the darkest night the brightest morning has come
Sunlight falls upon us like a dream
Can't you feel the powers that bind me to you
The mountains to the deep blue sea

Tears of pain they suddenly turn into tears of joy
Like a gentle rain from up above
In the air the wind is blowing promises
Of peace and of everlasting love

All the pain, the hurt, the wounds they can cut so deep
Who'd have thought that we could feel so weak
But I do believe a force more powerful
Our love will conquer all

From the darkest night the brightest morning has come
Sunlight falls upon us like a dream
Can't you feel the powers that bind me to you
The mountains to the deep blue sea

Time has come, oh can't you see
Keep this world alive, it's the last chance for you and me

From the darkest night the brightest morning has come
Sunlight falls upon us like a dream
Can't you feel the powers that bind me to you
The mountains to the deep blue sea
The mountains to the deep blue sea
The mountains to the deep blue sea

I, I have a dream
A dream of you and me
We're flying high above
We're soaring over sea

Bless me with some wings
For I, so want to fly
These precious white wings
Will take me soaring high

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

I, I have a dream
We're high above the trees
The wind is in my hair
The ocean breeze takes me

Tell me, what can I do?
To earn, earn me some wings?
Some precious white wings
To help me live my dreams

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai)

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me, please trust
I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now oh...

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds

Together for a lifetime
I was so sure you'd always be mine
An ocean never ending
Now the tide has turned I fear

Wondering how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold onto
Without you... woah, ah, ah, ah...

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright
Woah...

You said we'd stay together
All the hard times we could weather
But I felt words unspoken
Now our ending line is clear


Wondering how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold onto
Without you... woah, ah, ah, ah...

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love

I am seeing things not seen before
I am reaching out for something more
Still your arms around me
They keep me warm
I'm finding it so hard to move on

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright

Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Mother,so kind
You gave everthing to me
A torch to hold
A heart of gold
Words to live for,to help me
You said love to not forget
Being young I did not understand
But you held my hand,
Walked along with me

Dreams are always up high
Hanging from our reach
But that's what keeps us striding on
Through clouds of uncertainty

This road is my story
Why would I give up?
What have I to lose?
Blank pages before me
Are crying out for words

Mother,so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh Iook down upon your feet

This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Mother,so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

I can see in front of me
A sky of colours
From,red to gold

Reach out,reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to guide you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to guide you

Through the rain the sunlight warms my heart
Fragrance sweet, a memory it calls from afar
Tears of joy flowing deep from my soul
All around, I can feel new life unfold
Up ahead, can't you see, fills the sky up above
Breathe the air, oh so sweet, all that I've waited for

Celebrate the new life that we see
I close my eyes and I feel you near to me
On this day a brand new song to sing
Thankful for all the gifts that spring will bring

Oh so dear, you hold a place in my heart
I feel you near, we've been too long apart
Through the years seasons promise anew
Loyal friend, 'til the end, I'll be waiting for you
Up ahead, can't you see, how the future unfolds
Breathe the air, oh so sweet, all that I've waited for

Celebrate the joyous days to come
On the green grasses we are free to run
I feel your touch and I can hear you sing
Thankful for all the gifts that spring will bring

Celebrate this young and fragile dream
Don't you know this is where I'll always be
As I walk along this lonely road
Your spirit it dances around me
Like a river that flows on endlessly
Like a flower the love you give to me

Celebrate the new life that we see
Close my eyes, I can feel you near to me
On this day a brand new song to sing
Thankful for all the gifts that spring will bring

Celebrate the joyous days to come
On the green grasses we are free to run
I feel your touch and I can hear you sing
Thankful for all the gifts that spring will bring

Celebrate the new life that we see
Close my eyes, I can feel you near to me
I feel your touch and I can hear you sing
Thankful for all the gifts that spring will bring

Please don't stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Please don't stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I am the swift rush of birds in flight
I am the stars that shine at night

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Please don't stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Writer(s):

Only now I know of time
For too long I have
Drifted, never turning back
Now I am standing, the tide
Drawing me
I never felt so weak,
'Cos you mean everything to me.

Only now I feel your love
Golden, burning
Covering just like a glove
I feel the warmth of your gaze
Over me
Never felt such tranquility inside of me

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It's way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Only now do I see you
In the way that other people do
I see you clearer than before
And love you more
I never knew that I would feel this way

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It's way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever, I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away form time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Lyricist:Hayley Westenra

Sweet cosmos in a pink shadow
In the warm daylight you glow
Just like my Mama
Bathed in a gentle yellow
She is fragile,
I love her so

Together we sit in the sun
We turn album pages one by one
Mama tells me stories like it's the end
She tells them like we'll never meet again

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Memories are running round and round
How I wish I could go back now
To the times I didn't realise your love
To the times I kept to myself

Leaving with my many bags
I can tell from your eyes you are sad
That I must go, but it is time
It is time
My love, my love, will stay behind

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Inside this fragile heart of mine
Lives uncertainty
A never-ending fear

And right before my eyes
The crossroads of my life
The path for me is clear

These doubts, lingering in my head
I must free, to let me move ahead

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe

In this world full of lies
I see you trying to smile
A smile to survive

I understand your wary face
Your distrusting embrace
That I recognize

Black as night- the colour I used to be
No one could ever stain me

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe

And spreading right before me
The biggest sky I've seen
The colours engulf me
This is my dream
I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe myself


I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me, please trust
I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon

3.Yuki No Hana

Together hand in hand we walked through evening gloom
Long shadows on the pavement, cast from the sunset sky
If only this would last until the end of time
And if this is forever I swear that I could cry

The northern wind starts to blow
And the smell of winter's in the air
As we take each step upon the ground
The season of love grows near

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds,
that's not what we're about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

With you by my side, to catch me when I fall
I can cast my fears aside; feel twice as tall
If only this would last, this smile upon my face
And if this is forever, you're my saving grace

The nights were so cold without you
And the days were always short on light
Now a fire's warming me through
And suddenly this upturned world is feeling right

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds,
that's not what we're about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

If there comes a time when you have lost your way
I'll turn myself into a star to guide you through
If ever you find tears upon your face
I will be there, always be there for you

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds,
that's not what we're about
Sure and strong is my love for you
The city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Cold winds from the North blow
The sky casts its last glow
But you and I are standing strong


4.Shiroi Iro Wa Koibito No Ito

White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love
White is the colour of petals that fell
Oh, the sweet lily smell

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Blue is the colour of first love
Oh, the colour of our love
Blue as the sky on a clear summer's day
On the meadows we lay

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Red is the colour of memories
Oh, the colour of the seas
Glowing in red from the sky above
When you gave back my love

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love
Oh, the colour of our love
Oh, the colour of our love

6.Hana

I see the river in the daylight
Glistening as it flows its way
I see the people travelling
Through the night and through the day

I see their paths colliding
Water drops and golden rays
Flowers bloom, oh, flowers bloom
On this blessed day

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

I see your tears in the daylight
Glistening as they fall from you
I see your love escaping
Flowing free and flowing true

I want to make these rivers
Into something shining new
Let me make these flowers bloom
Let me make them bloom for you

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

I want to take you to the river
Down to where the flowers grow
I want to show you the beauty
From our seedlings sown

They shine in red and blue
Butter-coloured yellow glows
Flowers bloomed, oh, flowers bloomed
See how our love has grown

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom


7.Nada Soso

Turning the pages of old photographs
I whisper thanks to each and every one
Deep in my heart you have come, come to live
Sure as the sun to see me through

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
However far your memories may fade
Traces of you I hope to find
Then you appear and I drown in my own tears

I wish on a star, the first star of the night
You'll find me here every evening of the year
As twilight approaches I look to the sky
Seaching for you with all of my heart

In grief and joy I long for you and your smile
Hoping you feel the way I do
If only you could find me from where you are
I do believe somewhere in time
I do believe I will see you once again

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
But as each memory of you fades away
I'm so alone longing for you
You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears
Missing you so I'm missing you so
You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears


8.Tsubasa Wo Kudasai

I, I have a dream
A dream of you and me
We're flying high above
We're soaring over sea

Bless me with some wings
For I, so want to fly
These precious white wings
Will take me soaring high

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

I, I have a dream
We're high above the trees
The wind is in my hair
The ocean breeze takes me

Tell me, what can I do?
To earn, earn me some wings?
Some precious white wings
To help me live my dreams

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me


9.Sotsugyo Shasin

When the world gets me down I find myself
Reaching for that old leather-bound book
And there he smiles the gentle smile I know so well
And I am back where I used to be

Couldn't speak when I saw you in town
I picked you out easily from the crowd
A mirror image of your high school photograph
You took me back where we used to be

So won't you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Willows spoke, willows swayed to and from
As we walked hand in hand by the riverflow
But now the views have changed that I used to know so well
Can't take me back where we used to be

So won't you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Come light my way from where you are


10.Jidai

Oh what a heartache
Life has brought on me
No more tears to cry
I've cried a sea
I'm lost, deep below
Lost and alone

When time has passed by
These tears will have dried
I'll talk of this passing with even a smile
Cold rain, dark clouds
But now blue skies
The wind blows the way it feels
Time passes by
So let's not let trouble pull us down
The wind blows the way it feels
It moves without a sound

It goes round and around
It goes around without a sound
Many joys and sorrows abound
Love is lost
Love pursued
Love is found
Time goes round and around
Without a sound

Broken hearts, in a dream
Keep holding on
Looking to another day, another dawn
Ahead for you are radiant skies
Shining light into your heart, into your eyes
So don't let trouble pull you down
The wind blows the way it feels
It moves without a sound

It goes round and around
It goes around without a sound
Many joys and sorrows abound
Love is lost
Love pursued
Love is found
Time goes round and around
Without a sound

Oh what a heartache
Life has brought on me
No more tears to cry
I've cried a sea
I'm lost, deep below
Lost and alone









11.I Believe

Inside this fragile heart of mine
Lives uncertainty
A never-ending fear

And right before my eyes
The crossroads of my life
The path for me is clear

These doubts, lingering in my head
I must free, to let me move ahead

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe

In this world full of lies
I see you trying to smile
A smile to survive

I understand your wary face
Your distrusting embrace
That I recognize

Black as night- the colour I used to be
No one could ever stain me

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe

And spreading right before me
The biggest sky I've seen
The colours engulf me
This is my dream

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can't be wrong
I'm gonna keep going on
I believe myself
