1.Achilles Heel

goodbye to the sky
i know i can't fly but i feel love
do you know how i feel
you are my achilles heel
hello to below i feel love flow
like a river flow
you and i standing still
you are my achilles heel

feeling free yeah what about me
well you gotta give it up cos i feel love
do you know how i feel
you are my achilles heel
goodbye to the sky
i know i can't fly but i feel love
do you know how i feel
you are my achilles heel

for there's a child in your eyes
and the child never dies
so keep the dream alive
with the aid of second sight
i can push with all my might
to make a statue in the sky
of my achilles heel

small fry don't know why
gotta get high just to love life
you are my highs and lows
from my head to my toes
i said hey la will i go far
will i go far cos i love life
do you know how i feel
you are my achilles heel
i said oh no no will i go slow
will i go slow when the feeling flows

for there's a child in your eyes
and the child never dies
so keep the dream alive
with the aid of second sight
i can push with all my might
to make a statue in the sky
of my achilles heel

well you're feeling free
so what about me
i said hello and goodbye but i
don't know why
well while we're small fry
on the line
with my achilles heel


2.Breathe

a friend i had once told me
such an unusual story
of a man who did breathe in
but never did breathe out
this tale reminds me of you
though a different shade of blue
you cannot always take and never give
this is not how to live

you gotta breathe in and out
you gotta spread a little love all around

though i don't know this for sure
just another knock at my door
a sprinkling of an inkling underneath an apple tree
i'll tell you when i find out
and show you what it is to breathe out
a natural progression lesson messing up your mind

you gotta breathe in and out
you gotta spread a little love all around
you gotta breathe in and out
you gotta spread a little love all around

i feel in you another way to be
i watch as you breathe over me i'm breathing

like a tale of jackanory
the end to this unusual story
is a breath upon a window pane so come on
step out of the rain

though i'd like to think this were true
you've become a deeper shade of blue
in my eyes this comes as no surprise
you've nothing left to give no

you gotta breathe in and out
you gotta spread a little love all around
you gotta breathe in and out
you gotta spread a little love all around

repeat and fade


3.Higher State

it's a happy day for you and i
the sun is up and shining in the sky
got a heart of gold that i can see
baby you got you now you got me
something's on so don't be late
it's time to leave for the higher state

there is no time to be low tomorrow
there's only time to kill
there's no time to be high and fly
there's only time to thrill

so when i am up and you are down
baby thats when you gotta come around
gotta ease my pain and soothe my brain
gotta take me in out of this rain
something's on so don't be late
it's time to leave for the higher state

there is no rhyme to express my emotion
there's only rhyme to feel
there is no rhyme to fulfill my devotion
there's only rhyme to heal

don't fret get high there's a new dawn that says hi
the higher state

repeat

it's a happy day for you and i
the sun is up and shining in the sky
got a heart of gold that i can see
baby you got you now you got me

it is no crime to be lost with no direction
it's just a crime not to live
and there is no crime to be asked for affection
it's just a crime not to live

don't fret get high there's a new dawn that says hi
the higher state


4.Let The People Know

running high
leave behind the shadows in your mind
into the beginning of your life
society breeds hatred in your heart but baby
it's time to make a brand new start
life's everchanging in your eyes
but the time for rearranging will arise

through the rain and snow
let the people know let the people know the way
and when it's time to go let the people show
let the people show the way

living high pushing back the boundaries with a smile
effortless but only for a while
a deity comes to you in the night
lightens up your day without a fight
and life's still everchanging in your eyes
but the time for rearranging will arise

chorus

if the people want to know show them the way
if the people got to know show them the way

flying high you left behind the shadows in your mind
the sun came out and put them out of time
the rhythm you can feel's in time with mine
so come on baby let's go for a ride
and life still keeps on changing in your eyes
but changes come and go and so do i

chorus repeat


5.Just Hold On

walking on high hopes
living on tight ropes
running with your feet off the ground
it used to be magic
but now its only getting you down

i miss the sunshine
that was a good friend of mine
can't stand it as my life goes by
waiting for something
but nothing's gonna happen tonight

walking down a one way road
and you still don't know which way to turn

just hold on
just hold on
when you're feeling like you can't go on
just hold on
just hold on

riding life's rollercoaster
you're making the most of
what you can and what you can't have
hoping for someone
to show you to another pain

walking down a one way road
and you still don't know which way to turn

just hold on
just hold on
when you're feeling like you can't go on
just hold on
just hold on

when you think you can't make it
just hold on
just hold on
just hold on
just hold on

when you're feeling like you can't go on
just hold on til end


6.Dancing In The Moonlight

we get it on most every night
when that moon is big and bright
it's a supernatural delight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight

everybody here is out of sight
they don't bark and they don't bite
they keep things loose they keep it tight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight

dancing in the moonlight
everybody's feeling warm and bright
it's such a fine and natural sight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight

we like our fun and we never fight
you can't dance and stay uptight
it's a supernatural delight
everybody was dancing in the moonlight

dancing in the moonlight
everybody's feeling warm and bright
it's such a fine and natural sight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight

we get it on most every night
and when that moon is big and bright
it's a supernatural delight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight

dancing in the moonlight
everybody's feeling warm and bright
it's such a fine and natural sight
everybody's dancing in the moonlight


7.Do You Know What Your Future Will Be

when you look to the past
you won't miss what you're missing no no
thank the heavens above these days are gone

keep good faith on the shelf
use it when you're not well
all the mistakes that you've made
don't matter know no

do you know what your future will be
do you know what your future will be

don't wear your heart on your sleeve
too many lives to retrieve
mother nature will help you if you let her oh

keep back a bit for yourself
keep it with faith on the shelf
safe under your wing it's just a silly thing

do you know what your future will be
do you know what your future will be

get up get down
running around the town
round and round in your head
you gotta rest your sleepy head

so when you look to the past
you won't miss what you're missing
thank the heavens above
those days are gone

do you know what your future will be
do you know what your future will be

repeat and fade


8.Just About Living

what's taboo to you is just not taboo to me
do you wanna make a deal
there's nothing i can't steal
it's just about living
so make it strong but make it quiet
about living
it's just about living

life on an i o u
but i see hope between us too
i borrowed it from someone new
something old for something blue
it's just about living

what means lots and lots to you may mean
nothing much to me
but ask me while i'm here
or forget it for a year
it's just about living
so make it strong but make it quiet
about living
it's just about living

life on an i o u
but i see hope between us too
i borrowed it from someone new
something old for something blue
it's just about living

what's taboo to you is just not taboo to me
do you wanna make a deal
there's nothing i can't steal
it's just about living
so make it strong but make it quiet
about living
it's just about living

chorus


9.Summer Cycle

the sun it kiss my cheek yeah that feels fine
the breeze it strokes my feet that feels fine
losing the track of the time
confused in a sun covered time

birdsong is all i hear while i am hear
i'm lost but cannot see these things i feel
circles appear in my mind
floating through space and through time

you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done
you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done

silhouetted by the sun my angel comes
dressed in white
a broad white smile outshines the sun
oh such a picture is this
my angel she stoops for a kiss

you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done
you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done
i said you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done
you might feel laughter in the sun
but laughter might help us when we're done


10.High Flying Bird

the high flying bird flies above
you cannot see him from the earth
he sees as he flies
and knows as he sees
the masses below
there's trouble below

this high flying bird has no sense of time
for a thousand years he's climbing the skies
his brothers have burned
flown too close to the sun
but higher and higher
this white bird flies
this white bird flies

i feel you in my sleep
when the sun's down
and the world sleeps below
you call across endless oceans
i hear you and want to fly too

there's no turning back as blue becomes black
the air becomes thin this flight begins
but the bird can still breathe
brighter than before
on celestial wing
this bird can now sing
this bird can now sing

i feel you in my sleep
when the sun's down
and the world sleeps below
you call across endless oceans
i hear you and want to fly to

repeat


11.Only For A While

once upon a time a child heard a line
that moved him
the child never grew the line it came true
and all around
inside dreams it stays
dormant through these days
that follow
reminded only by the saddest lullaby
that was whispered

you've got to lie down for a while
this will pass it's only mild
you've got to ease your mind
for a while

i know i'll never be able to be free
from these memories
have love in life the same
embrace it every day
that it comes to you

you've got to lie down for a while
this will pass it's only mild
you've got to ease your mind
you've got to ease your mind for a while
lie down for a while
this will pass it's only mild
you've got to ease your mind for a while
only for a while
only for a while
only for a while


12.Floating Away(In The Bathtub)

floating away in the bathtub
this may sound strange to you
it feels so nice when you rub rub
open my hands to the moon

splishing and splashing and wishing and wushing
it's more fun in here than the zoo
slippery salamanders on my tail
i'm the dog that ran off with spoon
or the cow that jumped over the moon

do you know what it means
to me floating away
floating away
