Big lie you took them all...
Big lie you took them all...
Big lie you took them all...
Big lie you took them all...
Someday it will crack
One day it will grow back
Midway along the way back home
Someday it will crack
One day it will grow back
Midway along the way back home

Field Of Wonders

Are there any left in town?
We were promised golden apples from the trees
Told us "leave our youth behind and keep the fears well hidden''
To walk beside those who once were young and proud
Then sold to the highest bidder
Someone is still plating some seeds
Someone is still planting some seeds
Some seeds a re watered for the sake of love
Someone is still plating some seeds
Someone is still planting some seeds
Some seeds are watered for the sake of love
Now they trample on the harvest of the Lord
And playing with hands in fire no fear of getting burnt
This wind bent the silver spoon where I was born and where I'll die, under the highest bidder's court
But someone is still plating some seeds
Someone is still planting some seeds
Some seeds are watered for the sake of God
Someone is still plating some seeds
Someone is still planting some seeds
Some seeds are watered for the sake of God
The providence will provide
The providence will provide anytime
Oh anytime!
Someday it will crack
One day it will grow back
Midway, along the way back home X2
Someday it will crack
One day it will grow back
Midway, along the way back home
(Midway, along the way back home)
Someday it will crack
One day it will grow back
Midway, along the way back home
(Oh along the way back home!)
Some still some seeds
Someone still some seeds
Some seeds for the sake of life
(Oh along the way back home!)
Some still some seeds
Someone still some seeds
Some seeds for the sake of life

Swallow

Shipwreck, Mr. Jack
Falls frozen into the ocean
No fear just cheer for him and pray for his devotion
When Ben cut the bigger shaft
Wings grew on his back
Oh in times like this, it’s a piece a piss to reach Baby Jesus
I see things that eyes don't see
I have no more words to say, mislaid in the fray
The world is a swallow
I have no more words to say
Beneath the falling rain covered in mud
Side by side and back to back
We saw the leaves were falling
Rotting in the ground like a pondering worm
Don't forget the raid sound
You were only nineteen
Wrote some music and sang old stories
Of times like this living the bliss of life full of glory
''Big lie'' now you are unmasked, stuck and stumbled in your fault
''Big lie'' you took them all
I have no more words to say, mislaid in the fray
The world is a swallow
I have no more words to say
Beneath the falling rain covered in mud
I have no more words to say, mislaid in the fray
The world is a swallow
I have no more words to say
Beneath the falling rain covered in mud
I see things that eyes don't see

Precious Star

Precious star (Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh)
The night begins to freeze my bones
Seek me out (Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh)
A sea of leaves that drown me out
Water ripples (Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh)
I’m just a pebble, floating in this pond
Butterflies have fluttered by
Even if I tried to get their height
Floods and droughts they dry my mouth
Stuck in limbo give me a shout!
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night praying for the owl to whisper
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night hoping that the owl will whisper
Precious star (Precious star, precious star )
May the wind carry my voice to you
From the sky (From the sky, from the sky)
Other ones are fogged by sheets of clouds
Life compass
For the ones who roam and the ones who sail
For the few who win all those who fail
For the ones who roam and the ones who sail
For the few who win all those who fail
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night praying for the owl to whisper
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night hoping that the owl will whisper
Butterflies have fluttered by
Even if I tried to get their height
All the butterflies have fluttered by
Even if I tried to get their height
All the butterflies have fluttered by
Even if I tried to get their height
Floods and droughts they dry my mouth
Stuck in limbo give me a shout!
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night praying for the owl to whisper
Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh
It’s hard to do if I’m on my own
Spend all night hoping that the owl will whisper
Oh no way home
Oh no way home
Oh no way home
Oh no way home
Oh no way home

Knock On Wood

Sneak out on tiptoes to keep keep quite oh
Hop on one foot on the river’s stones
Leave valleys behind, new days in the pipeline
Come on!
Count all the pebbles stuck on your shoes oh
Fall for what is worth fighting for
Get up again, no never tire of life
The trick is not to show it
Then go back home with pale faces, paler than the sun
Then go back home with red eyes, red as foxes are
Asking for advice to someone beyond the sky
With no reply tell yourself a lie
That’s fine for now but knock on wood
Sneak out on tiptoes to keep keep quite oh
Careful don’t slip on the river’s stones
Afraid of losing the sense of fear, now
Come, hear the chirping of a thousand songbirds
The rain is falling to beat the time
Lookout the thumbs of stumbling hikers
They say you reap what you sow
Then go back home with pale faces, paler than the sun
Then go back home with red eyes, red as foxes are
Asking for advice to someone beyond the sky
With no reply tell yourself a lie
Then go back home with pale faces, paler than the sun
Then go back home with red eyes, red as foxes are
Asking for advice to someone beyond the sky
With no reply tell yourself a lie
That’s fine for now but knock on wood
Knock knock knock on wood
Knock knock knock on wood
Knock knock knock on wood
Knock knock knock on wood X3
That's fine for now but knock on...
