CANNONBALLS
AFTER THE RAIN
VALENTINE
Moving, Higher Sand is, Pouring Faster, Falling Destiny’s, Calling Oceans, Glowing The meltdown’s, Growing Poisons, Raining Skin is, Burning They don’t need to stand and fight 235 sets the fire alight
After the rain Then comes the sun The sky turns to blue There’s a rainbow somewhere Is this your answer? It’s always the same But for me this storm will stay
Hello it’s been a while No need to run, that’s not your style I’ll leave, just take your time Don’t want to stir that pain inside
Chorus Cannonballs and atom bombs Are flying Racing through the acrid atmosphere Fairy tales and broken dreams are crumbling Hurtling through the blackened stratosphere And going round and round and round Children, Crying Breathing, Dying Handshakes, Heart aches Shatter, Bones break Hello, Don’t go Don’t leave me, Solo Right or wrong, Won’t be long Tomorrow, All gone The mothers and the fathers frown Sons and daughters lay on the ground
After the hurt There’s still the pain Will the wounds heal with time? Or will scars show the shame? Give me an answer - it’s always the same But I know that these feelings won’t just go away After the war I still feel the strain Can we once more be lovers? Or does anger remain? There is no answer it’s all in the wind Tossed by your circumstances we fall Give me a promise to make me whole I need an answer to quiet my soul After the rain Will the clouds go away? Will the sky turn to blue? Or forever be grey
Hello please let me in No need to talk or share your sin I swear I won’t say a word Telling anyone what I have heard Up Down Turn Around See Now You Me We’ll live free Somehow Chorus You smile but secrets cloud your eyes I cry, tears falling deep inside Your dreams locked frozen in your mind All the things you hid, waiting for a kiss From Valentine Hello, things won’t be the same Now that happiness can call your name All fears of trust betrayed Erased as tears are wiped away Up Down Turn Around See Now You Me We’ll live free Somehow You smile, scales falling from your eyes I cry, words call from deep inside Your dreams once dead now come to life I see the passion in your eyes As the bones you tried so hard to hide Pulled out of the mud washed in the flood Given life and flesh and blood From Valentine
FLY AWAY Waking up to face another day, come what may Reluctant eyes won’t leave the dream Wondering if it’s worth to get up and say, “It’ll be ok” Or turn my back and sleep again Chorus I’ll fly away I’ll fly away Ooh fly away I’ll fly away So should I bother now to even try, I wonder why You’ll only be disappointed with me I’ll try to smile no matter what you say, get through the day And look beyond where sun meets sky In another time another place In another world another face Come fly away, we’ll fly I know enough to never be afraid, of my today You can’t touch this dream of mine Put out my net and watched it sink down deep, knowing I’ll see The point of all this in the end
I DON’T BELONG HERE I don’t belong here But where do I go? I keep asking questions But the answers don’t show Go through the motions No end in sight Where am I heading? Can you throw me a line? I don’t belong here I wonder why I keep on trying To touch the sky Strange disconnections With things I should know Are there empty tomorrows With nowhere to go? Chorus I know there’re times and seasons I know there’re new horizons I know there’s more than I can see I know there’s something greater I know there’s silver under the sky I know I’ll have to wait but why? I don’t belong here And neither do you So why are we hanging To all that we do? It’s time to listen To what they say And get off this pedestal And be on our way Cos I don’t belong here But here’s where I’ll be I guess then it matters
Who I choose to please Someday I’ll get them The answers I seek Then I’ll step off this mountain And fly on a breeze Someday I’ll get them The answers I seek Then I’ll step off this mountain And fly on a breeze When I get there It’ll be all right, I’ll dive in the ocean & walk in the light
NOT YOU I don’t belong here But where do I go? I keep asking questions But the answers don’t show Go through the motions No end in sight Where am I heading? Can you throw me a line? I don’t belong here I wonder why I keep on trying To touch the sky Strange disconnections With things I should know Are there empty tomorrows With nowhere to go? Chorus I know there’re times and seasons I know there’re new horizons I know there’s more than I can see I know there’s something greater I know there’s silver under the sky I know I’ll have to wait but why? I don’t belong here And neither do you So why are we hanging To all that we do? It’s time to listen To what they say And get off this pedestal And be on our way Cos I don’t belong here But here’s where I’ll be I guess then it matters Who I choose to please
FALLING Someday I’ll get them The answers I seek Then I’ll step off this mountain And fly on a breeze Someday I’ll get them The answers I seek Then I’ll step off this mountain And fly on a breeze When I get there It’ll be all right, I’ll dive in the ocean & walk in the light
Like a gentle breeze that’s blowing Brushing past my cheek and hair I sense your presence with me You’re there I want to dance entwined forever Mingled lost inside your love No distances between us We’re one Chorus Falling into you Falling into you I’m falling, falling into you Falling into you Falling into you Now I’m falling into you Cos there’s nothing more I can do But to keep on falling, falling into you I feel your beating heart beside me Your breath is life that I can breathe Your arms holding me safe Don’t leave When did I first discover these feelings? You’ve been waiting patiently Like sunlight breaking through night Touch me
WHEN WILL YOU LEARN
HIGHER
Four years on Since you’re gone Did your time Will you tow the line Her heart yearns For you to turn Will you learn Or crash & burn, crash & burn?
When you feel you can’t go on When you think you’re running low When you know you just can’t last another night
Chorus No more judge and no more jury No victims left to spin your story No one left for you to blame Cut to the bone we’re still the same No more lies to sow confusion Nowhere to hide from retribution No more bridges left to burn Look at yourself When will you learn? Look at yourself When will you learn? On your own All alone Flesh and bone But you’re…made of stone To the light From the night Will you learn Or crash & burn, crash & burn? You are not alone
When you’re feeling all alone And the writing’s on the wall No where left to turn, no one to be your guide Leave all behind Break free and fly Chorus Higher Higher Higher reach for the skies Higher Higher Higher you’ll fly When you think your dreams are breaking When you think you’ve sealed your fate All the darkness that surrounds is just too much to take Night fades away Light fills the day. Bridge Then it doesn’t really matter What they say is never who you are You’re here today, you’ve come this far You’ll never let them take you Drag you down to where they are Just by living you’ll win the war
IMPOSSIBLE Impossible Unbelievable Tears from the sky Hearing my cry Immovable Indefensible When you decide To kill my pride Take another look at me I’m standing right here I won’t disappear Open up your heart and see Reality Who could it be The true enemy Impossible Unforgivable Living on lies Faith and trust dies Immutable Inconceivable It’s come to this Fooled by a kiss Take another look at us I’m standing right here I won’t disappear, no Hurt and pain leave in the past Just look up and see The real enemy It’s not me Possibilities await, If you take my hand, Together we’ll make a stand. The future’s there for us to make Stop living this lie
Don’t let us slip by Impossible Untenable If you don’t try To change your mind. Incredible Unforgettable What we once were Now it’s a blur
