BALON SUR PARIS
Feeling restless and grey
Want to fly us away
No work, no score, no relations
See the wonders below
See how far we can go
With no common transportation.
No, we’ll fly in our balloon
We won’t be embarrassed
Yeah we can take off in June
And we’ll start with Paris.
Then let’s head to Peru
Via Machu Pichu
Pre-civilization
Drift through forest and fjord
Hear the wild lion roar
Nature’s education.
Yeah, we’ll fly our bright balloon,
We won’t feel embarrassed
Slow down the pace, rise with the tune
And we’ll go from Paris.
Tels des oiseaux nous serons libres
De survoler la Tour Eiffel
de goûter au vin, devenir ivre.
La folie du Bonheur,
juste pour une journée, une petite semaine,
Ce n'est pas si dur à obtenir.
Free to be who we are
Why not reach for the stars
Name all the constellations
Take a trip to the moon
Maybe even reach Mars
Discover new heavenly formations…
Yes, we’ll fly in our balloon
We won’t be embarrassed
Yeah we can take off in June
And we’ll go from Paris.
Balooning over Paris…

Oh my child
It’s time to sleep
Here’s a tale
For you to keep
Below us the buds unfurl into the rose
The trees above give sweet repose
To all creation, birds and bees
Their seedlings carried with the breeze
Our sun gives warmth
And sacred light
Until the night.
Hush my child
Come dry those tears
Life’s an o-pus of
courage and fears
It’s true that the
shadows lengthen with the night and
Dark things lurk that we must fight
It’s all a dance of shade and light
The woods are deep,
there’s much to hide
But you will have this guiding light
Now close your eyes
Solo
Oh I know
You guess the truth
The stories told live
Inside of you
You see on this path we walk there’s right and wrong
Each step you take shows if you’re strong
Now here’s the third act of my song
Your heart will guide you/ Grace can find you
Spirit shine through / Spirit guide you
^ All the joy that lives inside you/ All the joy lives deep inside you
You belo..........ng!/
.....So hum!!!!!

Green Grass
I’ll be waiting here watching the grass grow
I’ll be waiting here through the Spring
If Summer comes and goes, well Winter knows
I can brave the cold and still I’ll sing.
Till you will come home to me
Why baby can’t you see
Home’s where the heart is.
So, we don’t have that much
What do we need as such?
We’ve built our mansions inside of us.
Don’t lose your faith
I know you’re brave so come
Come home to me
What will be, will be.
Everybody knows Time’s an illusion
Whatever we think goes it’s in our minds, it’s all in our minds
We may travel cross the world in our confusion
Yeah but when the day is done, we know where to turn.
You don’t need to fight it
Just journey back on to me
Why baby can’t you see
Home’s where the heart is.
So we don’t have that much
What do we need as such?
We’ll build our castles inside of us.
Don’t lose your faith
I know you’re brave so please come
Come home to me
What will be, will be, will be.
So
Don’t lose your faith, no no no
I know your brave, so please come
Come home to me
What will be will be.

Nova Bossa
It was a quarter past nine
Before the party turned fine
That’s when I walked from the bar
And heard you strum your guitar under the pine
The song of the waves
The whisper of sand
A smile in your eyes
You warmed my cold hands
A carpet of starlight
Woven with dreams
A summer of love
Tread carefully
We turn our face to the wind
And so the journey begins
Be sure each moment will last
Before the feeling has passed
Well I don’t know you
And you don’t know me
The space in between
Lies pure fantasy
We’ll dance till we’re breathless
And sing in the rain
If life is a bubble
Let’s make it champagne
Don’t speak of tomorrow
Let’s live for today
What come’s with tomorrow
Who’s really to say?
See honey bright moon
Drifting out of the sea
A farewell to sorrow
Oh why can’t this be for Eternity

MAYA
She looks away, the heavens sigh
The weight of life shines in her eyes - on the beat
—-
The stones she tends erode away
Her giving sun shall fade one day
—
But Love, that's here to stay
—
Yes all the woods she’ll fade to dust
And metal waste away with rust
—-
But love is here to stay
—
Don’t use her sight
No do not fight
It’s not what you see,
it’s what you know inside.
It's not real
She’s not real,
it may feel real
She seems so real
It's just not real
So then what’s real?
—
Solo x 4 bars - aaahh
—-
Beneath the blue and ancient seas
Her silken skin hides mysteries deep
The realms bey - ond she’ll never show
Above, the sky, beyond ... who knows
—-
But love will show the way
This bit onwards is good
—- (Don’t)
The child that lives deep inside
The laughter and the light
The spirit won't be denied
—-
Don’t use her sight
No do not fight
It’s not what you hear
it’s what you know inside.
It's not real
She’s not real,
it may feel real
She seems so real
It's just not real
So then what’s real?
—-
Solo through to chorus
—- (Don’t )
The IMP in sober disguise < redo stronger line
The fluttering of the leaves
memories of an earlier time
When life felt pure
moment’s so Defined
in golden light
Maya deludes
(close your eyes)
wake up inside.

House Of Dreams

He walks into the night
In their bed the child lies sleeping
There’s no one left to fight
With him gone her heart stops beating
The world goes on turning
The seeds go on growing
Though passions are burning
It wont be for long
Oh let him go
All desire fades to nothing
He was never yours
Now it’s on with the show
Build a house with his dreams
Paint the walls in with shades of longing
Nothing is as it seems
Not to one but all belonging
The stars go on burning
The planets their turning
Though life’s endless yearning
This too shall pass
Oh let her go
All your fire burns to nothing
She will endure
Now it’s on with the show
Ooh ohh! (Bit longer)
—
Intro solo
The years took their toll
Her youth gone. His strength faded .
In time they will learn
The journeys long to understanding
^ Oh let it go
All desire ends in nothing
^ We will endure
It’s all just a show

Sunbeam
There I was, dancing in a sunbeam
And the fun I had
You’ll never know
Unless you found a sunbeam too
You had left me wandering in the forest
But I wasn't scared
It was so gold
The sunshine and the morning dew
Feel the warmth on your skin
All that light streaming in
Feel the shift of the wind
As those feelings begin
Let ‘em fly
Yes, go ahead and smile
For too soon life passes by
In the blink of an eye
Kiss all effort goodbye
Why can’t we stay a while
Just a while
Before this moment dies?
We’re never alone
Don't you know it
The stars are watching out for us
But if you have to go
It’s ok do it
The angels have a plan for us
Feel the rhythm of the summer breeze and
Feel the beating drum
Beneath our feet
The Earth it has a heartbeat too
But your days are grown cold
And that darkness will grow
Oh the absence of all
That could transform your world,
Don’t you know
It’s right under your nose
Can’t you throw it away
Can’t we live for today
What’s the world gonna say
Things will still be ok
It’s our life
Don’t let it slip away
Well I played that game
Tried to be the same but
It’s not the way
For my soul to grow
But if you have to go
It’s ok do it
The angels have a plan for us

May We Meet Again
Verse 1
So here we are again
The same place, the same time
Though many years have passed, love
The feeling’s still sublime
Chorus
Remember when we painted
(from) dusk until the dawn
Remember when we faded
All our colours worn
Verse 2
So here we are again
The same place, the same time
I hope that you’ve been happy
And life’s a perfect rhyme
Chorus 2
You said we’d be forever
I made a quick retreat
You tried to move the mountains
You could not follow me
Bridge
But when i hear our song I still think of you
When it’s going wrong I remember you were true
When the sun is low and the feelings high
I remember you and your gentle smile
Verse 3
So here we are again, love
The same place, the same time
Perhaps you understand now
Why you couldn’t be mine
One day we’ll fly together
Soar high above the moon
One day we’ll share our secrets
May that day be here soon
(Hang on verse solos)
I pray we’ll meet again love
Out there beyond the stars
Poetry in motion
Our loves we wear like scars

Little bird
Where you fly home to
Is it far
Can i fly with you
Never bound
Never caught in shadow
Where you go to
Little bird
What’s the song you share
In a word, can you take me there
All the world
Hears your beauty,
Without care
Is it me or does time seem to slip from the trees
And the song that you sing bring me down to my knees
Yes the answering call dares to burst from the seams
I can’t hold it inside, little bird had i wings
I’d soar
out into the blue
Little bird
Do you see us here
Does the thought
Fill your heart with fear
On the ground
Where we’re caught in shadow
We fear too
Little bird
Call your message out
All the world
Needs to hear you shout
Like the tide
Steers the ocean
Well, so could you
If all could hear you too
I can see from the spark in your dark ancient eyes
There’s a knowledge we share and we all recognise
But your burden to bare, and for us to despise
Oh silence between us, the void that will rise
It’s true
All alone with you
—- Solo
(Maybe Bridge repeat
Is it me or do stars seem to fall from the trees
And the song that you sing brings me down to my knees
Yes my answering call wants to burst from the seams
I can’t hold it inside, little bird had i wings
I’d soar
Far away with you)
Little bird, it’s your time to go
Feather light, you can feel the flow
Leave the ground
Leave our darkening shadow
Fly home do
Take my dreams with you.

Illumination
Baby there’s a story here for you and me
Listen well, who can tell, rings a bell, of just what could be
Once upon a time there was a boy and girl
What a pair, unaware, of their share or affect on the world.
Switch your light on, baby x 3
Riff
Walking through the jungle of suburban dreams
Have a lot, maybe not, all we got isn’t what it seems
Born out of the stardust, reaching into the night
Could it be, we’re not free, don’t we see, what could be with the light
Switch your light on baby
Switch the light on and see
Short pause
> All the world depends upon you
Don’t see what you’re capable to do
In your heart you know it’s true
...
Switch the light on and see
...
(Instrumental solo ... riff
...
Travelling together, on a spinning ball in space
Who believes, fantasies, of a lesser or higher race
Brotherhood and sisterhood is all I see
He has more, for the poor, far offshore that means much less for she.
Take the ride up with me
Switch the light on baby
Be the change you wanna see
Switch your light on baby
Sing and jive on baby
Switch your light on baby!
Alt ideas:
Hey
Things don’t always go our way
We don’t get depressed no no
We stand up and fight another day
Dance another day
Sing another day

Alouette (or could be P’tite oiseau)
Ou tu reste les nuits
Puis-je venir
Est-ce loin d’ici?
Ni caché
Ni pris dans l’ombre
Quand tu fuit
Quand tu voles sur les arbres
Sous les verts de forêts
Et la joie s’envole
Rien reste caché
Puis mon cœur veut te suivre
Loin de ce terrain
Alouette
Je t’entends
Même si tous le monde vit
sourd a ton appel
Alouette
Il veulent vous plumer
Comment peux
Je vous protéger?
Si sages
Si essentiels et doux que vous soyez
quand les forces obscures sur la terre sont si fortes, notre chanson peut-elle l'arrêter comme ils fautent?
Alouette j’avais peur, si impossible reste le choix
En tout cas, tu peux s’envoler
Je suis lié à la terre
Comme les autres
—-
Est-ce moi ou le temps semble glisser des arbres Et la chanson que tu chantes me met à genoux Oui, l'appel qui répond ose sortir de l'ombre Je ne peux pas le tenir à l'intérieur, petit oiseau avait des ailes Je monterais dans le bleu
—/
Petit oiseau Nous voyez-vous ici La pensée Remplis ton coeur de peur Par terre Où nous sommes pris dans l’ombre Nous craignons aussi
—/
Je peux voir de l'étincelle dans tes anciens yeux sombres
Nous partageons un savoir et nous reconnaissons tous
Mais votre fardeau à porter et à nous de mépriser
Oh le silence entre nous,
le vide qui va se lever
Percer...
—-
Petit oiseau, c’est ton heure de partir
Plume légère,
vous pouvez sentir le flux
Quitter le sol
Laisse notre ombre qui s'assombrit
Rentrer à la maison vrai
Prends mes rêves avec toi.
