Get Up! CC/Cdh
Back down to the beginning of the end
Dirt ground until your feelings comprehend
We never look before we leap
The fog descends and we’re asleep
Before it’s too late
Get up, get up - hear the voice that never lies
Get up, get up – a drop beside the ocean
Get up, get up – believe and we can rise
above the commotion, above the commotion
Earth quake, or a trillion dollar flaw
Whose sake will make us turn and face the roar
We justify our own mistakes
But how much more can we all take
Before it’s too late
Get up, get up – here comes the rising tide
Get up, get up – the power of love in motion
Get up, get up - collective conscious mind
Get up, get up – Let peace be our devotion
Let peace be our devotion
Take action for the world to mend
Take care of how your thoughts transcend
All without comes from within ...
Just start from where you are - begin
Get up, get up - hear the voice that never lies
Get up, get up – a drop beside the ocean
Get up, get up – believe and we can rise
above the commotion, above the commotion
Get up, get up – here comes the rising tide
Get up, get up – the power of love in motion
Get up, get up - collective conscious mind
Get up, get up – Let peace be our devotion
Let peace be our devotion
Let peace be our devotion
Let peace be our devotion

Give It All Away

Give it all Away CC/RC
Hording everything he lived a life
Of good intention
Taking all he could
Without regret
until he knew redemption
It came on wings of love and how it changed his every way
It came as some surprise to him he say
I'd give it all away X 2
Only to have you here beside me every day
I'd give it all away
Ooh
Living out of fear she walked the path
Of least resisitence
Avoiding all she could keeping low
At a lonely distance
Love breaks the surface as she wakes
Behind her tired eyes
Her spirit aches
To give it all away X 2
Now she knows that love will keep
Her doubts at bay
She gives it all away
All we have is love
To temper what we know
It's all we leave behind us when we go
So give it all away etc
All your good intention won't help you find redemption
You got to give it all away
Give it all, give it all, give it all away X 3

My Only Success Is You - CC/HW
I’ve been out in the world and I’ve tried
To keep money and friends on side
But somehow along the way
They drifted off
I seen all kinds of kindness and hate
Choosing afraid of mistakes
Somehow along the way
Feelings cut off
Through the maze and over the wall
When I gave nothing at all
Certain and true
My only success is you
My only success is you
My only success is you
Is
You

Letting go CC 17th sept 2009
Stone walls surround this place
No pain, no passion, no peace
The sharpness, strains and stretches
The skin of life
What lies beneath – the crucible of freedom
Pulls your focus to release
Let go of failure, let go of hatred, let go of sorrow
Let go, letting go, letting go, letting go
The urgency to change
Calls out and will not cease
Uplifting, uncompromising
Risk everything!
Burn all you fear - in the crucible of freedom
Find your focus and release
Let go our outrage, let go all armour, let go tomorrow
Let go, letting go, letting go, letting go
inst-break
Love rises like a wave
Withstanding while we weep
The lotus lies below mud slides
Blossoming
Transformed beneath – the crucible of freedom
Burning focus brings release
Let go transgression, let go deception,
Let go of failure, let go all hatred,
Let go our outrage, let go all armour,
let fly the arrow
Let go, letting go, letting go, letting go ….

I know How it Feels CC/MS
Each day the ache begins anew
A fresh wound waiting
And there’s nothing I can do
And when I think I know the way
The road leads nowhere
Now there’s nothing I can say
No magic wand to save the day
CH: I know how it feels to be alone
I know how it feels
To bare the shame of everything I’ve done
And in the memory of your eyes
Everything is a compromise
I take the blame I take it all
You’ll never know it
The silence makes feel so small
I pray one day you’ll make the call
CH: I know how it feels to be alone
I know how it feels
To bare the shame of everything I’ve done
And in the memory of your eyes
Everything is a compromise

Ch: X 2

The Ones That Love You CC/RC
Out in the world
Nothing seems real
Losing your innocence
To all that you feel
Right now your heart’s in the gutter
Swarming with doubt
Look up now child the stars are out
Don’t make love a stranger
When you need the rest
You’ll find your way home,
You’ll find your way home
To the ones that know you the best
The ones that love you the best
Reach out for love
Don’t be so blind
By all that you witness
Unloved and unkind
Right now your heart’s in the gutter
Swarming with doubt
Look up now child the stars are out
Don’t make love a stranger
When you need the rest
You’ll find your way home,
You’ll find your way home
To the ones that love you the best
The ones that love you the best
Take one step back, just one step
The stars are out
Don’t make love a stranger
When you need the rest
You’ll find your way home,
You’ll find your way home
To the ones that know you the best
The ones that love you the best
Don’t make love a stranger
When you need the rest
You’ll find your way home,
You’ll find your way home
To the ones that love you the best
The ones that love you the best

Just Listen CC
We run we keep on running
Aware of the setting sun
And right behind old father time
His quarry for sporting fun
We run
We cry we keep on crying
Desperate for someone to hear
And deep inside the raging tide
Is rising with all our fear
We’re crying
All is well in heaven and earth
All is well my dear
All is well our Angels’ song
But do we ever hear, ever hear
Listen - just listen – be still
Listen – listen – listen – be still

Love Again - CC/MS 2009
I’ve tried telling time
Slow right down
But it won’t wait for me
And I don’t know how
I’m ever gonna stop it all from running out
I’ve tried letting the tide
Turn me around
Getting caught in the waves
Run aground
I barely have the strength to breathe I’m almost drowned
Oh Why do we pretend that everything’s different
That we could be friends
When everything’s wrong
I don’t know where I belong
In the end
How could I believe love again
I’ve tried Letting the storm
Drive through the pain
Wide as clear blue sky after rain
All my doubts are swept aside
I’ll learn to love again
Oh Why do we pretend that everything’s different
That we could be friends
When everything’s wrong
I don’t know where I belong
In the end
How could I believe love again
Inst
I was empty out of love
Lived in hunger for a touch
You know it almost dragged me under
You wouldn’t ever lift your mask
Walked away into the past
Double chorus …

Faithless Land – Christine Collister August 2010
I listen for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
I try to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
Plucked from the heart of innocent love
A rag doll to a child
Tactile, sensitive, trampled in mud
Strung out high and wild – when I
listen for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
I try to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
Tightly, twisted torn to the nerve
Like a demon without prey
Little by little I came to serve
Darkness was my day … till I
listened for her voice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now,
And tried to understand
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
She says that I have no choice
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
But have faith in a faithless land
Hear me now, hear me, hear me now
I'm listening,
My heart can bend
Like a willow tree
Tell me what do you need
I listen for her voice
And now I understand
I make the only choice
I have faith in a faithless land X 3
Faithless land I have faith
In a Faithless land X 3
I have faith, I have faith, I have faith in me
