A Beautiful Way Music and Lyrics by Simon Adams © 2012 Simon Adams It’s a Beautiful Way Walk in it you can’t feel the pain It’s a Beautiful Way yeah Walk in it, you’ll find grace upon grace And this you’ll joyfully say It’s a Beautiful Truth yeah, Binding all once apart in you There’s not one single way no, That this Truth contradicts Grace That’s a Beautiful Way Never to be undone, never to be split from Never to walk alone, never to needless own More than my fair share of woe, oh I can hear my heart breathe this Always to practice a will of trust, My heart does taste and is full of grace’s wisdom Ever to live the same language my heart breathes and seeks it needs to know it’s kind But this discovery’s in rest, Acquiesce your fearful heart and breathe It’s a Beautiful life yeah Overflowing out from the heart oh oh oh We can wonder it’s heights yeah While remaining on earth below Remaining in our selves Never to be misled, never to be just head Never to quench my self, never my heart suppress Given this compass I am, oh I know my heart is this Chorus

Our Man Music and Lyrics by Simon Adams Well there was this man see, looked just like you did he Strollin’ down a street which, had about a million exits, Sign up on the left said, "Don't go straight yet, Drive into a ditch here Must be hard to think there is an end, to your searching friend" Now you can imagine, how this lack of vision Gets into your head so, that's why he did have these ‘say sos’ "I know where I'm goin’, Prob’ly over mountains, Valleys, crossin’ deserts, I'll be found to weather weather hard Coz that's where you are…. and you're calling:" "Wishin’ you were here too You should taste with your own eyes Here the river that flows and the honey so sweet Can be found flown out of you neat" Well our man was comin', wouldn't quit for nothing When the wind was howling, you could hear his say so shouted, "I know where I'm headed, in the past I've tasted Now I'm wanting filling, beg your pardon, I'll be pressin’ hard ‘Til my own postcard, inspires others" Chorus You'll be glad to know his search did end, he wishes you were there... Chorus 3 Wishin’ you were here too You should taste with your own eyes Here the river that flows and the honey so sweet to the taste Can be found flown out of you neat

Born to Change the World Music and Lyrics by Simon Adams © 2012 Simon Adams We were raised to believe the lie See the world and you see its future You can not change what you can not fight, what's inside We were set from the start to fail So it goes does the propaganda ‘Til you get tired or so sick you say, let the whole earth be saved We were born, we were born to change the world Open doors, walk on through them and be turned, bringing with us others to learn Ooh, loving till we lose the chains, It may be time, oh, time to start to soar, time for being born again We were taught to believe the dream Keep you under to keep from falling Coz if you wake and the real is seen, would you leave? But you know you're already gone While there's truth just above the surface You hear the sound of the world above and you try to wake up Chorus We can learn if we turn, we can learn If we turn we can learn, if we turn I saw, yeah I saw the stars I saw, yeah I saw the stars not too far I saw, yeah I saw the stars, and here we are We were born, Ooh Open doors - bringing with us others to learn Ooh, loving till we lose the chains It may be time, oh Time to start to soar, time for being born Time to start to soar, time for being born Time to start to soar, time for being born again

Point and Shoot Music and Lyrics by Simon Adams I wasn't listening but something told me I wasn't hearing what's my own name I wasn't dreaming desire call me to come awake Maybe the thunder would break the silence Maybe my efforts to come alive I wasn't looking but up you crept, passionate desire I'm never ready I'm rarely steady My head's not in the game Enough self-pity I've found a better way You've come to meet me You are the One, how you load up a gun And it's me you aim! Shoot so you don't lose me I can be great if you'll keep me awake Don't care how you use me Point and Shoot me today I couldn't tell if my feet were on it I couldn't tell if the way was here I couldn't say if my feet knew something, it wasn't clear You know the moment you come upon it You know it's good coz you know yourself And when you stand looking in your own eyes you know it well I've got two choices I hear two voices Embrace myself or flee Out of two courses I've found the better way You've come to meet me You are the One, how you load up a gun And it's me you aim! Shoot so you don't lose me I can be great if you'll keep me awake Don't care how you use me Point and Shoot me today I can be great if you'll stay with me forever honey Know you won't lead astray I can shoot straight if today you're by my side honey And show me a better way I know you know it and Shoot so you don't lose me I can be great if you'll keep me awake I don't care how you use me Point and Shoot me today
