New Album Out Now - The Big Divide

Seize the day

On a spiral
Staircase
Walk towards the light
A heavily mist
Surrounds you
See, that glorious sight

Loved ones
Come to greet you
A field, of fragrance flowers
See, the darkness fade
To the golden towers

Seize the day
And seize the night
Seize the moment
Seize, all of life

A sky full of stars
That glow, eternity
Everyone, a heartbeat
That belongs, to you and me

We all have an angel
Angels, with golden wings
So warm, wraps around you
Loves, and brings you in

Seize the day
And sieze the night
Seize the moment
Seize, all of life 

So reach out with your hand
Breath out your last
The unknown of the future
Leave the ghosts of the past

Seize the day
And sieze the night
Seize the moment
Seize, all of life 

Carpe diem
Carpe noctem
Carpe momentum
Carpe omnem vitam

Talk...
This is not the end
Only the beginning
Cast a stone across the river
Watch the waters shimmer..

Lyric by Michael James Lee 

Sometimes 

I THOUGHT 
I’D GOT OVER YOU
CARRIED ON 
THE BEST I COULD
BUT I DIDN’T REALISE
THE HEARTACHE 
I’D BEEN THROUGH
SO, WHEN YOU WALKED
INTO THE CAFÉ
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

OR WHAT TO SAY
ALL I KNEW WAS
MY HEART STILL BEATS FOR YOU
YOU WERE HARD TO FIND
SO EASY TO LOSE
BUT
I KEPT ON LOVING YOU

SOMETIMES IT WAS EASY
OTHER TIMES IT WAS HARD
DID YOU EVER THINK OF ME
OR 
DID YOU JUST DISCARD

I THOUGHT 
I’D GOT OVER YOU
SHOOK YOU OUTTA MY MIND
TRIED TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY
TO FIND SOMETHING NEW
BUT 
WHEN YOU CAUGHT MY EYE IN THE CAFÉ
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SHOULD I WALK OR SHOULD I STAY
ALL I KNEW
 WAS MY HEART STILL BEATS FOR YOU

YOU WERE HARD TO FIND
SO EASY TO LOSE
BUT I I KEPT LOVING YOU
KEPT LOVING YOU 

SOMETIMES IT WAS EASY
OTHER TIMES IT WAS HARD
DID YOU EVER THINK OF ME
DID YOU JUST DISCARD
SOMETIMES IT WAS EASY
OTHER TIMES IT WAS HARD
DID YOU EVER THINK OF ME
DID YOU JUST DISCARD

ALL OUR MEMORIES
YOU WERE HARD TO FIND
SO EASY TO LOSE
BUT 
I KEPT ON LOVING YOU
YOU WERE HARD TO FIND 
SO EASY TO LOSE
BUT
MY HEART STILL BEATS FOR YOU MY HEART 
MY HEART STILL BEATS FOR YOU 

Lyric by Andrew Shipp 

Dad 

Dad, you've been my guiding light
From the moment I opened up  my eyes
Through all the ups 
and all the downs
You've always been there
always around

You taught me how to laugh, 
and how to be strong
You showed me right 
from wrong all along

Oh  Dad my hero
my best friend
With your love
there's no need 
No need to pretend

Through thick and thin, 
you've stood there by my side 
Dad, your love
fills me with so much pride
Coz this song is a tribute 
to your love so true 
Dad, I'm forever grateful 
for everything you do

You taught me how to laugh, 
and how to be strong
You showed me right 
from wrong all along

Oh Dad my hero 
my best friend
With your love 
there's no need 
No need to pretend

There’s So many things I wish that you’d have seen 
And So many places
 I wish that you could have been

You taught me how to laugh,
and how to be strong
You showed me right 
from wrong all along

Oh, Dad, my hero 
my best friend
With your love
there's no need 
No need to pretend
Oh, Dad, my hero
my best friend
With your love 
there's no need 
No need to pretend

YOUR GAME 

IT HURTS SO MUCH
FEELS LIKE FIRE
BURNING INSIDE OF ME
TEARS FLOW

BUT YOU DON’T SEE
AND YOU DON’T KNOW 
WHAT THIS IS DOING TO ME
WHEN YOU SAY SO LITTLE

THEN YOU CAN BE 
A PLAYER 
IN YOUR OWN GAME
OH IT HURTS SO MUCH
WHEN YOU GLARE 
AT ME THAT WAY

AND MAKE IT CLEAR
WHAT I SAY
WILL NEVER DESERVE
AN ANSWER
THAT MY OPINION
REALLY DOESN’T MATTER

I DON’T WANT 
TO HURT YOU
BUT I NEED 
YOU TO FEEL MY PAIN
THEN YOU CAN BE 
A PLAYER IN YOUR OWN LITTLE GAME

BUT IT SAYS
SO MUCH TO ME
I DON’T WANT 
TO HURT YOU
BUT I NEED 
YOU TO FEEL MY PAIN

WHY IS IT
THAT I’M WRONG
WHEN I’M RIGHT
NEED TO BE STRONG
PUT UP A FIGHT
TO SING MY OWN SONG
BE FREE AS A BIRD IN

THEN YOU CAN BE
A PLAYER
IN YOUR OWN GAME 
A PLAYER
IN YOUR OWN GAME
THEN YOU CAN BE
A PLAYER IN YOUR OWN GAME
A PLAYER IN YOUR OWN GAME

BUT IT SAYS
SO MUCH TO ME
I DON’T WANT 
TO HURT YOU
BUT I NEED 
YOU TO FEEL MY PAIN

LYRIC BY ANDREW SHIPP

Whiskey rivers 

Been at the bottom
Of many whiskey rivers
Body shots, taken
The fevers and shivers
Dark smokey bars
The sun creeping in
A redemption shot, my dear
To redeem all my sins

At the bar, of lonely
In a round, just for one
Those, one for the road days
Are all but since, gone

Lady lucks not smiling
She left me long ago
As father time ticks on
The hour glass, so slow

Well life, it tells a story
Of many broken dreams
I've sat with the broken
And Ive sat with the queens
Been down many roads
It leads, no one knows
Be gracious at the top
Cos coming downs not slow

I'm drowning, i'm drowning 
Whiskey rivers
I'm drowning i'm drowning 
Lord, oh forgive us
I’m drowning lord 

Lady lucks not smiling
She left me long ago
As father time ticks on
The hour glass, so slow
Lady lucks not smiling
She left me long ago
As father time ticks on
The hour glass, so slow

Drown your sorrows
In whiskey rivers 
Times just borrowed 
Oh whiskey rivers

Lyric by Michael James Lee 

From where I came

These are the streets 
These are the corners
These are the cobblestones 
That lay here before us

These days are golden 
These days of olden
we didn’t know it
Cos nobody told us

Chorus 

Long summer days
No days are the same
Oh these are , the streets 
From where I came
Billys got a stick gun
Johnnys got a tennis ball
Tommy’s playing world war
Wembleys a painted wall 

Lifting up the big cup
Georgie best has scored again 
Fishing in the big lake
Eating chocolate 
Throwing cake

These are the streets 
These are the corners 
These are the cobblestones
That lay there before us

Long summer days
No days are the same
Oh these are , the streets 
From where I came
Billys got a stick gun
Johnnys got a tennis ball
Tommy’s playing world war
Wembleys a painted wall 

Long summer days
No days  are the same 
Oh these, the streets 
From where I came
