Runway Dreams
03:23

These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go
These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time
Take a second, strike a pose
Like on the runway don’t stand too close
Hold tight, almost ready
To show what you got, make them lose control
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for
don’t be scared, light it up, be comfortable
Last chance, no turning back
all eyes on you it’s a dream come true
These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go
These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time
All together, stay strong
we need each other more than ever before
Clean hands, eyes open
We’ll find the space to see just how you’re feeling
We can make it through this, cuz we have before
No fears, no worries, but be careful
’Til next time that we meet again
let’s remember the love that we shared today
These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go
These colors, these lights, these beautiful people
Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time

Slow It Down
03:47

We’ve never seen times like this before
It’s taken a toll on the soul of a man
Around the globe without prejudice
Both rich and poor, black and white all in the fight
To make it through these changes
To keep away from danger
We’ve got a ways to go before we really know
Just what is in store
Don’t want to take away the freedoms
That make a life worth living
But if we sacrifice for a little time we could
Slow it Down, down down
Slow it down
(If we sacrifice for a little time we could)
Slow it Down, down down
Slow it down
(If we sacrifice for a little time we could)
It’s not a time for selfishness
We need empathy for collective security
We share the earth, we’re connected
Still let’s stay inside, stay protected
We’re all in this together, like a ship in stormy weather
We’ve got a ways to go before we really know
just what is in store
In this uncertain future
Might have to change just what we’re used to
But if we sacrifice for a little time we could
Slow it Down, down down
Slow it down
if we sacrifice for a little time we could)
Slow it Down, down down
Slow it down
(if we sacrifice for a little time we could)
Don’t know how much time in this world we have to live
So we might as well give as much love as we have to give
Slow it down, slow it down
Slow it Down, down down
Slow it down
(if we sacrifice for a little time we could)

I’d seen it before in a scene from a motion picture years ago
I’d heard stories of plans to revoke basic freedoms
I never thought that it would be something i would see in this lifetime
But it’s not hard to believe, cuz it’s easy to deceive all the minds now
Feels like the sky’s falling
(Wake me up when it’s over)
Feels like the sky’s falling
(Wash away like the ocean)
Unprecedented circumstances raining over
The streets are empty and the hearts are full of fear, lost in notion
I never thought that it would be something i would see in this lifetime
But it’s not hard to believe, cuz it’s easy to deceive all the minds now
Feels like the sky’s falling
(wake me up when it’s over)
Feels like the sky’s falling
(wash away like the ocean)

New Normal
03:28
|
|||
Everybody has a voice
Everyone deserves to be here
Some get lost and silenced
There’s a power in the truth
But for some it’s not so clear
If we want it, It’s out there
Might be hidden from our view
Or omitted from the news
From now on third eye open
First time in our life time
The entire human race
Has been forced to take heed
Where do we go from here?
How do we stay alive?
It’s getting harder, and harder to survive
Feels like the worst is yet to come
And the depths are not so clear
So it seems the new normal is here
It all started long ago
In an effort to control
The minds of all mankind
Great thinkers of the past
Have left the earth too fast
Just trying to awaken
Everywhere people are scrambling
Barely living for today
Now i wash my hands again
It’s a global situation
In a melting pot of fear
Embrace for the dawning is near
Where do we go from here?
How do we stay alive?
It’s getting harder, and harder to survive
Feels like the worst is yet to come
And the depths are not so clear
So it seems the new normal is here

We’re Inside a fire
Trying not to get burned
This tricking time gone
Now we all await a return
Back to the way things used to be
Back to a touch we shared freely
Could be a long time before we meet
Can we remain close distantly
I’ve got a feeling things will never be the same again
I got a feeling things will never be the same again
All of the things we don't really know
All of the things that they never show
The Futures is mystery
All of the things that were going through
All of the things that we need to the planned to do
The future is Mystery
Outside I’m hiding
Emotional strain
Bring back the moments
Traveling far
Out of isolation
Lonely hearts
Could be a long time before we hold
Reconnecting while it all unfolds
All of the things we don't really know
All of the things that they never show
The Futures is mystery
All of the things that were going through
All of the things that we need to the planned to do
The future is Mystery

More Love Now
03:27
|
|||
I lay my head down to rest and pray for peace on the earth
It’s hard to enter deep sleep, carrying weight of the world in my heart
In my heart
A lonely tear falls from my eye
Oh what a time to be alive
No sign of letting go in sight
To carry on like everything’s alright
We’re gonna need more love to get us through this
More than we’ve ever know before
And if there’s a chance to make it to the other side
We’re gonna need more…
Gonna need more love now
Someone’s taking their last breathe who never found inner peace
Innocent soul lost in the night
Maybe they’ll find a little light away from here
far away from here
What have we done, done to the earth?
I know, I know we’ve put man first
For what to watch it all fall down
A spirit war led by the crown
That came without a sound
We’re gonna need more love to get us through this
More than we’ve ever know before
And if there’s a chance to make it to the other side
We’re gonna need more…
Gonna need more love now
