Merry Hill 03:24
lyrics

Feet upon the grass Connection with Earth Find my peace of mind down here Verse 2 Tree life looking on Silent standing I wonder what they feel inside Chorus Don't fear me, the dogless man I'm here to walk my soul I like to wander Merry Hill Because it helps me know my heart Verse 3 Realm of oak and cob Gold flecked meadow Ring-neck home from home behold Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 Master serving dog Polite good morning I try to see the god within Repeat Chorus

Verse 1 I feel so confused How can this be true? Ev'ry thing I knew Just a big mistake Verse 2 My divinity Seems it cannot be Otherwise why some Things against my will? Chorus Ev'ry thing I know Hold in heart as true Who am I if I'm not you? Am I not you? Verse 3 Used to be easy Thinking you are me Thinking I am you Thinking we are one Repeat Chorus Breakdown Verse 4 Here I am again Conviction remains Somehow still makes sense Though I can't explain Repeat Chorus

Verse 1 And if you fall Short of some mark you've set So dust you off Become aware Realise self forgot Apologise Verse 2 And if you judge Assume you know better Reject the thought And if you fail To always walk the talk Just try again Chorus Be your best Manifest Your divine Reach for more Pass on less Free your mind Verse 3 And if you find Sometimes lose sight of goal Hold up your hands And if you flunk To always see the soul Try look again Chorus x 2

Consider The Evidence 03:12
lyrics

Verse 1 Whenever I doubt myself Consider the evidence Connect the dots that brought me here Verse 2 Just a coincidence? Or could it be choices made Have something to do with where I stand Chorus Maybe we wield more power Than I can conceive of Maybe I'm nearer to god Than mind can imagine Verse 3 Consider the hats I wear All my relationships Facilitate something desired Repeat Chorus Verse 4 Consider the evidence No more facade pretence But who will remain when we come clean? Instrumental Repeat Chorus

lyrics

Verse 1 And though I might dive sometimes Still gonna set my sights high So honouring origin Where I come from Verse 2 Although I may trip sometimes And even wear mud on face Will nevertheless climb up Upon my feet again Chorus I wanna be worthy of The whom I remain within Becoming my higher self I Verse 3 And even if some abuse Or want to exploit and use Will try to see them as you When I am confused Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 And even if some deny Desire to believe a lie I want to respect their right Even if they are wrong

Like They Know 02:54
lyrics

Verse 1 Time and again return Like original sin The need to believe in something No matter what Verse 2 Something inside requires it Believable lies Even though they may be untruths Turn blind eye Chorus I try make sense from my fence Follow blind but preach like they know Verse 3 Capacity to accept However far fetched As more than some crazy idea This human heart Repeat Chorus Middle 8 Faith is a beautiful thing Why spoil it by pretending you know something simply believed in? Instrumental Repeat Chorus Verse 5 Why do we always pretend? Where will it all end? For faith, even maybe strong faith Still might be wrong

lyrics

Chorus Open my eyes I look to the sky Realise my facts Are really lies And all I now see Believe to be true Is based on forgetting Who I am Verse 1 But ev'ry one plays this game And ev'ry one pretends Seems it's designed this way Let me try to find you Repeat Chorus Verse 2 And even if some deny Still let me try see them Agree to disagree Even if they won't

[Verse 1] Forgot again To remember the whom Human eyes blinkered [Verse 2] Inside my heart I feel it all makes sense Though find it hard sometimes [Chorus] Wanna see We are all equal See the one within The real star [Verse 3] Legs two or four Or maybe less or more Try to see you there Repeat Chorus Instrumental [Verse 4] Believe in God Or be an atheist Or something in between Repeat Chorus Breakdown [Verse 5] Even preachers Though they get up my nose Try to see their soul Repeat Chorus [Outro] I wanna see See the real star

The Believable 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1 Human being deceives himself if he believes it Views that he holds grow from evidence collected Cherry pick punnets of facts so they all fit Ignore those that contradict cherished point of view Verse 2 Everyone want understanding believable What one finds believable varies a lot Person A has faith in one thing, has no doubt Person B may find ridiculous the same thing Instrumental Verse 3 Everyone want explanation reasonable Who determines what appeals - admit I don't know One thing sure is what we believe sets the stage Upon which we then play out life adventure Outro The believable Maybe by design The believable Need not be the truth

Verse 1 You say the lie was white Surely that makes it alright But now you've dug yourself in a hole What were you thinking? Retort Well, I was just trying to not hurt their feelings Verse 2 Another broken heart You always pick them, don't you 'alf? Again those warning signs you ignored What were you thinking? Retort Well, maybe I want to know how it feels to forgive Chorus Now as I judge you Stop to rethink Maybe meant to be Perfect how it is Verse 3 Then you got religion One truth faith, all others wrong You believed yours the only way What were you thinking? Retort Well, I was wondering how it felt to save the fallen Verse 4 Then you became soldier A pawn in someone else's war Said you laid down your life for your squad What were you thinking? Retort Well, I wanted to know true selfless comradery Repeat Chorus Verse 5 Then became a turtle Ran crazy gauntlet to the sea The one in thousand hoping to live What were you thinking? Retort Well, err ... Instrumental Repeat Chorus Outro to Fade What were you thinking?

Verse 1 Run around like crazy Fast food on the go Never time to chillax Fast lane on the road Verse 2 Now you got an ulcer Say this just ain't fair Ev'ryone's against you Just like Tony Blair Chorus You say why me? Why me, why me? Why me? Why me, why me? Verse 3 Abuse those around you Unless you can use Come home, cell is empty Don't know why she left me Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 No one understands you What is wrong with them? They can be so selfish Slam the door again Repeat Chorus to fade
