Birds fly across the sky, singing songs of joy, They made my day, they made my day, Singing songs of joy And now the birds have gone away and the rain comes down The sound of song inside my head it still lives on and on in my life Simple things make me smile Even when my dreams are dying Simple things keep me smiling All life’s treasures in front of your eyes If only you can see them Morning comes, rising sun, shine into my room Waking up, waking up, to a brilliant sky of blue And now the sun has gone away and the darkness falls The light that shines inside my heart it still lives on and on in my life Simple things make me smile Even when my dreams are dying Simple things keep me smiling All life’s treasures in front of your eyes If only you can see them And those birds in the sky, they’re just like friends of mine And the morning sun, rescues me every time All of these things keeping me safe inside Simple things, simple things Simple things make me smile, Without even trying Simple things keep me smiling All life’s treasures in front of your eyes If only you can see them

I’m looking for a ride to take me out of town I’m looking for a place to lay my head down This city never sleeps the lights don’t go out There’s beggars on their knees all reaching out Tugging at my sleeves, oh get away from me I’m getting in that car, I’m jumping on that train Oh driver take me so very far away No matter how far I travel, this road it never seems to end And when I think I’m getting closer, it brings me back again I’m looking for a table, I’m looking for a chair I’m looking for a shoe, I’m looking for a stair But the buildings get taller, with every step I make And to reach the top gets further away... The dogs are all wild , looking for scraps to eat There’s madness in their eyes, danger on the street.. Some people they don’t know where it is, they don’t even know it’s name, But I’ve known it all my life and I’m walking it again Longing, breaks my heart every time Longing, I just want to lay right down and die Reaching, in my dreams I’m loosing you Longing I’m tired of walking in these shoes

Boxers Glove 03:09
Took another beating today I've got a black eye, a black heart and a black mood And the seagulls sing my heart out, over the rooftops As I pass through their eyes, it's a strange way to travel But when you take flight Please, carry my heart on your wing tonight Take me out to the sea, over the pier and the street lights and the night life Such strange heights, such harsh light, such cold night air You take a Boxers Glove to give love You take a Boxers Glove thinking it's love Ha-height, ha-ha-height, ha-height Took another beating today I've got a black eye, a black heart and a black mood

DREAM CATCHER All of those wishes at the bottom of the well Rising to the surface, gonna find a bigger purpose All of those dreams, falling like stones, Losing their weight, gonna find themselves a home Put it out there, put it outside of you Dream catcher is coming to find you All of those words, written on your heart You’ve got to get them out there, why do you keep them in the dark Maybe you’re afraid, afraid to catch that fish Make that kiss of life Put it out there, put it outside of you Dream catcher is coming to find you Don't you stop believing, don't you stop at all This beautiful mirror that you're holding up Reflecting back to earth Reflecting earth Reflecting earth
