Verse 1 In my pre-dawn peace Surfaced from the last night's dream As I lay awake Realise I prefer real life Verse 2 Even if my dream Had been one of wonder full Every time I choose Real life over fantasy life Chorus But what if this life I love Was also a dream life And one day I open eyes Will I see it different? Verse 3 Now the day begins Juggling the hats I wear Times I search within Try to find the who am I there Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 In my evening Dozing with the TV on Leave me, let me sleep I'm so tired I want to forget Chorus v2 But what if this dream I love :) Was also a real life And one day I open eyes Will I see it different?

Chorus A How strange it is In falling in love I'm fooling myself if I start to believe I'm growing Chorus B How strange it is My being in love Has little to do with becoming a loving person Verse 1 How strange it is: Readily ignore needs of those around I'm so self absorbed to exclusion of all Even turn my back on the one who loves me Deny this truth though it's obvious Repeat Chorus A Verse 2 How strange it is: Self serving in my calculating things Self centered this is how my universe is Unashamedly all about me I am Beside myself in the name of love Repeat Chorus B

Again Begin 03:56
Verse 1 It was many years ago I know you came here Looking back my memory today remains clear Verse 2 You were hungry for a clue, an explanation Why we walk upon the earth, you needed reason Bridge A Was looking for a light To shine upon your path To know the wrong and right Illuminate the dark Verse 3 Now you're looking back at life, nobody to blame Owning all the choices made empowers today Bridge B Was after absolutes You wanted black and white But at the cost of truth YOu would not pay that price Chorus They never guessed Truth / lies within Mistake redress Again begin Verse 4 That was many years ago you walked away - yeah Looking back you wonder why so long you stayed there Bridge C Was try'n to make my way To find some peace of mind Will not accommodate So here's a piece of my mind Chorus V2 Might I suggest Truth / lies within Mistake redress Again begin

Backdrop 03:21
Verse 1 Always an answer No scope to think things through No room to breath Or choice to choose Verse 2 Truth is all wrapped up Black and white absolute So they believe Matter of fact Chorus Still if it serves them And that only they can decide For life's an adventure Backdrop we create with our mind Verse 3 So much restriction Areas unexplored Power of mind Simply ignores Repeat Chorus Verse 4 Only for freedom Give me religion, not So many dos 'n' don'ts Who am I forgot Breakdown Outro All in the backdrop Served by the backdrop Faith is a backdrop Belief a backdrop Truth may be backdrop Lies can be backdrop Served by the backdrop All in the backdrop

Verse 1 If I ask who you are - the question Will you give it to me straight - the answer? Do you know just how great you are? Don't shoot me my brother Verse 2 If you look in my heart do you see Reflections of yourself within me? I may wear skin colour different But still you are my brother Chorus Don't shoot me I don't agree to play your victim I've changed my mind I'm sorry for the inconvenience Verse 3 If you look at my soul will you know Inside I am divine, just like you? I may fake diff'rent faith, but believe You are still my brother Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 If you look in my eyes I look back Why you seem so surprised I'm in here? I might have two more legs, but it's clear You are still my brother Repeat Chorus

Chorus I never thought that I would understand That I could walk upon this promised land I never dreamed that I would find my way That I would see my fog evaporate Verse 1 But then I saw you standing there Arising like the morning sun Everything is illuminated now Everything seems more beautiful somehow Repeat Chorus Verse 2 But then I found you in my heart Arising like a soothing moon Everybody is bathing in your light Everyone seems more beautiful tonight Repeat Chorus

Every night you forget Who are you in real life Come the morn' - open eyes That don't see In the day you wake up To a life of day dreams Then again you lay down To sleep more In between you wonder Sometimes find the truth lies In your mind it's okay Night and day

Who Are You? 02:40
Chorus Who are you? Not what are you, Just who are you? No really, who are you? Verse 1 You tell me: I'm a human being, it's obvious One sophisticated animal We're the most evolved upon this earth Still I ask ... Repeat Chorus Verse 2 You tell me: I'm the title of the job I hold I'm my role within my family Turning cog within society Still I ask ... Repeat Chorus ... Go deeper Instrumental Verse 3 I'm a spirit soul, a part of god I'm a servant of the servant of We're eternally separated Still I ask ... Repeat Chorus Who are you? Not what are you, Just who are you? Go deeper

Verse 1 All the hats that you wear All the acts you perform All forgetting who you are All the dreams you create All the choices you make As you bury awareness Bridge But/Still in the morning When the sunrise comes Then you remember Verse 2 Every mask of disguise Every truth that you hide You deny where you come from Through your eyes and your ears In the light and the sound Everywhere is a playground Repeat Bridge Chorus While everyone has come for their own reasons Yet everyone is one of us - is joined together Instrumental Verse 3 Every body you take Always facilitates Your experience increase All the webs that you spin Every end and begin Celebrate this illusion Repeat Bridge Repeat Chorus

[Verse 1] Have you ever had Such a dream So beautiful When you awake You try to Return to sleep Continue? [Verse 2] How it seemed so real Everything Believable Your heart was filled With feelng And still you feel Take here and now for example [Chorus] Can't wake up Won't wake up Don't want to wake up Keep sleeping Continue Beautiful dream life [Verse 3] But now you're awake You see things In different light Now last night's dream Is fading But still you sleep Take here and now for example [Repeat Chorus] [Dream] Will I have to wait 'til I die? [Repeat Chorus to fade]

Verse 1 So if you want me Know where to look Find my number It's in the book Verse 2 So you can reach me Call any time Reverse the charges I will never mind Chorus v1 Still sitting here High in our tree I watch you always My part of me Verse 3 For I am as you Just more aware Most things you see as real View I don't share Verse 4 But still they serve us Both you and I Always facilitate Never deny Chorus v2 Still sitting here High in our tree I love you always My part of me Instrumental Chorus v3 Still sitting here High in our tree Enjoy you always My part of me Verse 5 I pass no judgement Prescribe no goal For ev'ry hat you wear Completes the whole
