Time is a one way ticket To a place you've never been As uncertain as the weather, as elusive as the wind Cast away your doubts and ease your worried brow The universe is calling, your time is now Don't take black and white and make them into Dorian Gray Tomorrow doesn't wait around for any part of today Fail fearlessly, succeed with grace and rise above the crowd The universe is calling, your time is now So if you want to drink from life's loving cup Sometimes you have to dig deep, sometimes you have to look up Time has a way of creeping and sneaking up on you Changing all the locks on the things that we thought we knew Don't let them stand in your way, don't let them bring you down The universe is calling, your time is now So if you want to drink from life's loving cup Sometimes you have to dig deep, sometimes you have to look up And remember A little faith goes a long way A little faith goes a long way Fail fearlessly, succeed with grace and rise above the crowd The universe is calling, your time is now

I Got Lucky 03:23
From the fields of Carolina across the Great Divide High above the hills or down by the riverside Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me You can take me to a beach in sunny Mexico Stand atop Victoria Peak and watch it all below Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me From the blush of the morning to a sky of brilliant blue To the far light that shines the starlight on you Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me You can put me in a carriage, give me champagne in the park, Take me out on the town until long after dark Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me You can count up all your money, you can count up all your jewels But I just count my blessings because I can count on you Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me From the blush of the morning to a sky of brilliant blue To the far light that shines the starlight on you Wherever I go I know I got lucky when you found me

That Train 03:24
There used to be a time when the blues disappeared And stand by me was all that he could hear Back in the day when that engine roared But that train doesn't stop here anymore There used to be a time when it was all in bloom And no white elephant was in the room Back in the day when that engine roared But that train doesn't stop here anymore Any port in a storm, any bed that will keep him warm Any place where he can start over again Start over again There used to be a time when it was all green lights No detours up ahead or roadblocks in sight Back in the day when that engine roared But that train doesn't stop here anymore There used to be a time when he crossed the line And he passed from the surreal to the sublime Back in the day when that engine roared But that train doesn't stop here anymore

The fog lingers until the afternoon A vista that stretches out across these dunes Icon, Icon where have you gone I keep looking for you, what's going on The fate of Lady Anne lies in these walls She dances in the mirrors and down the halls She's gone, she's gone somewhere in the night Was her love in vain or did she finally get it right Icon, Icon where have you gone I keep looking for you, what's going on They come to try to change the way things are Brings their brands so they can leave their mark But that won't happen here, no way no ho no dice Before you dance with Lady Anne you really should think twice Icon, Icon, where have you gone I keep looking for you, what's going on

Love in a summer's breath Heals your body and steals your mind Love for the asking Unconditional and undefined After all this time, after all this time We'll be together tonight When the sun goes down and the moon is high Tender is the night With her hands she guides you With her heart she finds you With her smile she lights your way From here to yesterday After all this time, after all this time We'll be together tonight When the sun goes down and the moon is high Tender is the night Love on a winter's night Free and easy on your mind Love for the asking Unconditional and undefined After all this time, after all this time We'll be together tonight When the sun goes down and the moon is high Tender is the night Tender is the night

I've been through hell and high water I've been down roads that never end I've been to places that don't exist On a scale from one to ten Two for twenty, two for twenty They say numbers never lie Two for twenty, two for twenty Taking my chances and stayin' alive I never knew where it was coming Each day entered through a different door But I could be certain when they drew the curtain That I had never been here before Two for twenty, two for twenty They say numbers never lie Two for twenty, two for twenty Taking my chances and stayin' alive Morning comes before the sun has risen Lonely days and restless nights My life passing though a prism Of shifting shapes and changing lights Two for twenty, two for twenty They say numbers never lie Two for twenty, two for twenty Taking my chances and stayin' alive

Carry On 04:00
A mask of mystery followed me every day The hand that I was dealt the one I had to play Sometimes in my funk, I lost sight of the prize When where I should have been looking Was right before my eyes All I want to do is feel the fire, raise my voice in the choir The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on The minor chords hold each and every scar From every blow that landed in the heart Washed up on the shore, hanging out to dry In the end what I had to find was right before my eyes All I want to do is feel the fire, raise my voice in the choir The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on It's not about what I have, it's not about what I own It' all about whatever I do I won't fact it alone Any time I feel sorry for myself I see some soul crying out for help There's always someone there worse off than you are Stop complaining, stop blaming rise up and raise the bar All I want to do is feel the fire, raise my voice in the choir The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on The way that you inspire gives me faith to carry on

California girl with sunshine in her hair Imagines her future and how she'll get there But LA wasn't happening and New York was messing with her mind With a suitcase and a dream she shut it down and left LA behind New York heartbeat, New York hustle To break a leg there are dues to pay Through the turnstiles everybody takes the field But not everybody gets to play She couldn't give it away She couldn't give it away A closet for a bedroom, kitchen just as small Pipes hissing through the night at bugs on the wall The stage is set, the curtain rises on a New York day She would have worked for nothing But nothing was all that came her way It's a few years later, she's made the grade Takes a breath to think about now and then All that rejection, so much sacrifice Once upon a time way back when She couldn't give it away She couldn't give it away

You wake up each day and you think you know what to expect By the time the suns set you're still waiting on deck One out of three you're in the Hall of Fame In other walks of life it's not the same I'm trying to get by with three chords and a bridge Crossed the valley and stream where the water never flowed Packed my bags, cranked it up and headed on down the road Not much has changed after all this time Where it leads your guess as good as mine I'm trying to get by with three chords and a bridge A day like to day and so many before So much on his mind as he shuts the door Goes to work down at Union Square So invisible he's just barely there So you wake up each day and you think you know what to expect By the time the suns set you're still waiting on deck One out of three you're in the Hall of Fame In other walks of life it's not the same I'm trying to get by with three chords and a bridge

I was born in the water to fly in the sky And everything between here and there is the story of my life My shadow is getting longer as the evening reappears A trick of the light or some testament to the years So start the fire, start the fire Sometimes it doesn't stay lit Start the fire, start the fire bit by bit Start the fire He was 70% the, 50% of the time And the rest he spent rummaging through the clutter is his mind He climbed hills of indifference from morning through the night Trying to get some ownage on the story of his life So start the fire, start the fire Sometimes it doesn't stay lit Start the fire, start the fire bit by bit Start the fire If it happens once you're lucky If it happens twice you're blessed And if it doesn't happen at all get in line with all the rest I'm a breath away from destiny and miles down the road I'll keep searching for the best in me, the part I make my own So start the fire, start the fire Sometimes it doesn't stay lit Start the fire, start the fire bit by bit Start the fire
