Sail Away 03:30
Your hearts a wave, untamed and free. No shore to stop you from the open sea. You'll travel far, you'll travel wide, all to find what you've been missing in life. Well life's too short, the road is long, let's pack our bags and move along. I'll come whenever you call me, we'll go sail away. Rediscover the journey, time to seize the day Wherever you go, I will follow you, come and sail away The places we'll go, I will follow you, come and sail away. Now I'm not saying that I've seen it all there's still so much to go explore, You're hearts still wild, so young and free, learning all the time to live and let be. We'll life's too short, the road is long, so let's pack our bags and moving along. I'll come whenever you call me, we'll go sail away Rediscover the journey, time to seize the day Wherever you go, I will follow you, come and sail away The places we'll go, I will follow you, come and sail away Don't let your mind drop an anchor, when your heart just wants to set sail Open your eyes and surrender, to new horizons out beyond the waves Wherever you go, I will follow you, come and sail away The places we'll go, I will follow you, come and sail away I'll come whenever you call me, we'll go sail away Pick up on a new heading, time to seize the day Wherever you go, I will follow you, come and sail away The places we'll go, I will follow you, come and sail away

Reach 04:23
Rest your weary head on my own, ‘Cos I don’t believe you’ll find your own way back to your home. There’s, there’s so much life to go. Quit saying what you’re saying I’ll be right here just so you know. But you only see the darkness, When you’re surrounded by light. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. Stop and take a good look around, ‘Cos there’s so much more to life that needs to be found. You, oh you need to be told, You gotta rise up and turn your memories into gold. But you only see the darkness, When you’re surrounded by light. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. Oh darling, darling reach for the sky. I know, I know, I know tomorrow may never come round. But have hope, have hope, have hope that it is gonna be found. The sky, the sky, the sky may seem like its falling down. But you gotta reach, reach high I know, I know, I know tomorrow may never come round. But have hope, have hope, have hope that it is gonna be found. The sky, the sky, the sky may seem like its falling down. But you gotta reach, reach high

Stolen 02:56
Summers gone, Winters here. Autumns far and Spring is near. The sea is rough the sky is blue. I’m waiting for change and I’m waiting on you. They’ve stolen Gen and lied to me. They’ve broken lives and our history. They took their time but now Johnny’s gone. They said, “we’re sorry for the trouble we’ve caused” So come on, come on, come on and show me what you’ve done. We’re many and we stand Australian I’m a battler, I’m a bushy. Things in life don’t come easy. The road is tough, the road is long. But I’m a gonna keep pushing on. I’m the desert, I am the sky, I’m telling stories of the dream time. My brothers who call this land their home, I ask for change, let it be shown. So come on, come on. Come on and show me what you’ve done. We’re many and we stand Australian. Well, this stolen land of hope and greed, set aside for a white fantasy, Three lions from the West, planted their flags and beat their chest. My forefathers were from abroad. Set sail and came ashore, Showed respect for this great land, they became Australian. So come on, come on. Come on and show me what you’ve done. We’re many and we stand Australian.

Let It Go 05:12
When your home becomes a prison, In which you don't exist. And the love don't shine no more, but still you must persist. The stories, in the frames, seem to fade away. Not knowing truth from lies, so you stay. Our legs keep us running, our hands keep busy. Our head and mind they be setting us free. Well theres just one thing in this reality, that I need to know. Just let go. Just let it go. Just let go of it now. Just let go. Just let it go. Just let go of it now. One step forward, two steps back. We push push push! Just to get back on track. When our goal is won and our cause is lost, We come to roads that we should never cross. Our legs keep us running, our hands keep busy. Our head and mind they be setting us free. Well theres just one thing in this reality, that I need to know. Don't live your life with no life to live, Just share your life and your life will give. Its all i need to know. Just let go. Just let it go. Just let go of it now. Just let go. Just let it go. Just let go of it now.

God it hurts so bad. My feet are stuck in the sand. Each wave that passes by, drains more from my insides. And god it hurts so much. My urge to but i can not touch. The sand beneath my skin, takes more from within, deep within. Oh and god it isn't fair. The red dress and that light brown scented hair. The smile that I'd get from her, the love I'd show in return. Why'd you have to go, Why'd you have to go. Why'd you have to go,Why'd you have to go. Why'd you have to go,Why'd you have to go. Well god it hurts so bad. My feet are stuck in the sand. The ocean between my toes. Why'd you have to go, why'd you have to go. Why'd you have to go, Why'd you have to go.

Mystery Man 03:02
Met a magical mystery man, I think he washed ashore. Didn’t like the clothes I had, His were from 1964. Said he travelled the ocean blue, in search of mystic things. Vietnam for healing balms, Panama for turquoise rings. Mystery man won’t you tell me more? Did you find it nice in Ecuador? Would you light another cigarette? Such a shame you haven’t heard of The Cure, but still dig the crazy way they dress. Oh Mystery Man. Mystery Man. Oh Mystery Man. Mystery Man. Got an independent heart. Tattoos of Chinese folklore. Found love in Illinois, but had to close that door. He takes the road less walked, down to his favourite café, Stepping off the beaten path, he’s looking more beaten every day. Mystery man won’t you tell me more? Did you find it nice in Ecuador? Would you light another cigarette? Such a shame you haven’t heard of The Cure, but still dig the crazy way they dress. Oh Mystery Man. Mystery Man. Oh Mystery Man. Mystery Man.

Mama said it’s alright to fall. That’s how we learn to stand up tall. Take the steps and dare to dream. You’ll become all you’ve ever seen. Well I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey. Get on up, go out explore. See the world through open doors. Don’t let others bring you down. You do you, go paint the town. Well I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey. Wake on up and find your way. See the good in every day. Life may knock you down I know, but get on up, step on out and rock that show. Well I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Believe in yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey.
