1.	Breakthrough 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Maybe a man who lives far beyond the clouds Maybe the force of the universe always wanting to conspire Whatever it is I can feel it closer, dearly It’s so alive, always near me Precious Spirit Hear my hearts desire fill it full of love Take my conscience higher help me to rise above Maybe it’s destiny, a slow dance with fate Maybe the stars aligned to help me find my way Whatever it is I can feel it closer, dearly It’s so alive, always near me Precious Spirit Hear my hearts desire fill it full of love Take my conscience higher help me to rise above Lead me through the fire So that i won’t get burned Rest my soul when tired leave no stone unturned Sun Rises Dawns Pass Clouds Dissipate Gone Fast Walls Fall Blocks Break Time Opens up Closed Gates Like a Breakthrough Breaking through

3.	Time Travels 03:53	lyrics	buy track
moving at the speed of life wishing i could be still find it hard to sleep at night counting blocks on the ceil’ torn between two worlds i rest to see the daylight can’t wait till the morning comes to bask in the sunshine if i coulda done it twice i’d do it all again with the exception of a few nights and the addition of a few amends never in my wildest dreams could i have imagined this remember when i was a child now i’m standing here amidst time travels sometimes fast, sometimes slow steady flowing but where it goes nobody knows time travels forth and back, back and forth a dimension not a force yet keeps it’s course waiting for a breakthrough hoping for a change to come it’s been a long road before but still so far to go at least that’s what i’m longing for a chance to see the other side maybe catch a north wind sail along for a ride looking back on yesterday a place i never want to stay luckily it fades away but kept as a memory thanks to all that came along peace to those who ventured off i’ll see from another angle as time travels, time travel journey still carries on i feel it in every breathe sometimes i get tired like i can’t take another step don’t wan’t give up now cuz time won’t let me wait living in the moment tomorrow’s always too late

looking back on the days I’ve lived in africa first in my family i’m here to plant new seeds future shines brightly a new livity all of my hopes and dreams have become reality I came home, place where the ancestors roamed Come Home, you’ll walk the streets and find that you’re not alone thinking of all the ways living in africa has made me realize the depths of humanity given tranquility i found the best of me i miss my family but still they’re here with me Everyday, i see something new Some ways that i could change Something for me to do There’s a place here for you Brothers and sisters, find the inner truth Beautiful Motherland Extend your ancient hands Share all your wisdom Show me where I’m coming from

7.	What is the Meaning? 05:13	lyrics	buy track
sometimes living in this world feels like one big tragedy where is the justice where is the peace everyday, innocent people fall by the hands of the few who dedicate there lives to making sure the cycles never break and…. what is the meaning of it all what is the meaning of it all some nights i look up to the sky and wish that i go travel there and get away hard to stay grounded in these times and what can i do to make it different it’s moving fast just like a race one day you’re standing the next day your down what is the meaning of it all? what is the meaning of it all? i keep searching, pondering, hoping, and I’m wondering does anyone really know? living, praying, still stumbling, and I’m asking where do we go?
8.	Shelter From the Rain 04:12	lyrics	buy track
i run to you and i feel home again you take me in like a shelter from the rain perfect silence in from the storm no disguises stillness reborn i see my reflection staring in your window eyes to my soul connection eternal i run to you and i feel home again you take me in like a shelter from the rain nothing else matters in these moments where time is relative and we’re the only spirits flying high like birds in the sky catch me when i’m fallin’ hear me when i’m callin’ i run to you and i feel home again you take me in like a shelter from the rain

And so it begins we ride til the end softly making plans each time we hold hands happened naturally just happened to be standing by your side didn’t have to try mountains in the clouds waters flow peacefully sun shines oh my days Unforgettable memories So we go into time Nature calls without sound mountains in the clouds waters flow peacefully sun shines oh my days Unforgettable Memories
10.	Desolation 03:51	lyrics	buy track
you went away you dissappeared i felt alone the worst i feared when you didn’t call i got a feeling something had changed and i lost the meaning desolation what was i to do desolation so in love with you all the years we built now quickly fading i didn’t see it coming i was here waiting for the moment we’d come together i would have waited until forever desolation what am i to do desolation i’m still loving you i can’t believe you’re gone i guess i took too long trying to give you everything i should’ve let you know but then you let me go desolation

you are my only one baby i’m so glad i found you oh you make me whole you touch the very depths of my soul don’t know what i’d do without your tenderness, you make my heartbeat and whenever you are away every hour, feels like a day to the moon and stars and back again you’re my lover, my joy and my best friend from death do us part, you’ll stay in my heart you’re my only one, you’re my only one you’re the air that i breathe, the song that i sing you’re my lover, my joy, and my best friend from this day on, from dusk till dawn you’re my only one, you’re my only one you are my only one baby i’m so glad you feel the same take me to higher ground and i just love havin’ you around waited oh so long for someone that i could write this song you are the melody with rhythm, and balance, we’re making harmony one for my lover two for my joy three for my best friend and all we endure i pray we get to love till eternity
