1.
Change of Seasons (Gabriel Gordon/Jason Nye/Christof Littmann) Seeing differently than before Let the light in again When you walked through the door I was wide open Then standing smiling in the rain It’s so much easier When you let it happen So tell me you won’t fade away If this is really real or just an illusion Meet me anywhere night or day Whenever you feel a change of seasons Spark and Flame have made their way Spreading into the deepest parts of me All this time just trying to find What it is you made me see Then Laughing gently in the rain with you Feels like I’m finally who I’m supposed to be Should I catch myself or take some shelter from the storm That has surely swept me away, surely swept me away So tell me you won’t fade away If this is really real or just an illusion I’ll meet you anywhere night or day Whenever you feel a change of seasons There’s some questions that can answer themselves Once you get over the mountain you see what’s left Of another way travelled to reach the same goal Home to us is sharing souls So tell me you won’t fade away If this is really real or just an illusion Meet me anywhere night or day Whenever you feel a change of seasons

Pacific Ocean (Gabriel Gordon/Jesse Murphy) The days are much longer Even in the Wintertime Bring me down to water The place we feel our spirits climb I know this is the place Where we get away Step into the Sun Nothing like today On the Pacific Ocean Higher and higher To the mountain tops we know These symmetrical fires Follow us wherever we go We know this is the place Where we get away Step into the Sun Nothing like today On the Pacific Ocean Then down to the desert Rolling, rolling we go Ain’t no time like the present... We know this is the place Fill our hearts up with grace Sunlight on your face We know this is the place Where we get away Step into the Sun Nothing like today On the Pacific Ocean Where we get away Step into the Sun We know this is the place

So Close to Knowing (Gabriel Gordon) Crystal blue water Crystal blue sky Looking at the Ocean Taking my time Seeing time travel Take control The long dark tea time Of the soul I know, I know I know that we’re So close to knowing I know, I know I know that we’re just born for growing Crystal clear vision Seeing eye to eye I took off walking Under the sky Seeing things different Gotta make some time Running through the world Just to find I know, I know I know that we’re Just born for growing I know, I know I know that we’re so close to knowing Stand on top Stand on top of any mountain Climb the highest tree Set yourself past your own limits That is when you’ll see You know I know We know That we’re so close to knowing We know, we know We know that we’re just born for growing We know, I know You know, I know, So close to knowing yeah, We’re so close So close to knowing yeah

Newbie 03:39
Newbie (Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp) Here we are Spinning around a star Who can tell What it all will come to But we can choose Which way Which way that we wanna go Down the road that leads Headed in the same direction There’s something about you Need you close to me There’s something about you That I can’t forget Straight away and then into a curve Who can tell where we’re going Far ahead Into the future Down the road that leads Off in the same direction There’s something about you Need you close to me There’s something about you That I can’t forget There’s something about you Need you close to me There’s something about you I can’t forget It will never end...
5.
Homesick Again (Gabriel Gordon) Homesick again Where’s all my friends I can’t believe it’s so long Time to receive All I need Is a place to lay down in the Sun Yeah, a place to lay down in the Sun You were elated, I was sedated From the clouds to the bottom of the sea But our conversations Still bring revelations it’s true So many nights left to fall I can’t believe that you called So many days, shadows tall Now I ain’t homesick at all, at all I’m homesick again I can’t win The grass is still green on one side Systemic change in these world growing pains I need a place to lay down in the Sun Yeah, a place to lay down in the Sun You concentrated, while I meditated On the clouds and the bottom of the sea But our situation brings Indelible elation It’s true So many nights left to fall I’m just so happy you called So much life left to give Now I ain’t homesick at all
6.
Solitude 05:38
Solitude (Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp) There’s nothing else I’d rather do Than to always stay with you And to be near your warmth There’s no time nor place That I want to face If it ain’t got you there Something to live for Something to give for Momentary bliss Something to live for Something to give for Get a hold of this I’ve been waiting so long To be here with you I’ve been waiting so long In my solitude In my solitude In the corner of my eye Feeling what it means to fly Being with you is home There’s no time nor place That I ever wanna face If it ain’t got you there, No You give me Something to live for Something to give for Momentary bliss Something to live for Something to give for Get a hold of this I’ve been waiting so long To be here with you I’ve been waiting so long In my solitude - in my solitude
7.
The Glow 03:56
The Glow (Gabriel Gordon) I can’t seem to make sense Words just slip away Days and years don’t seem to matter Like my father said The sky is more blue than grey I’m sitting here in Tennessee Feels like you’re sitting right next to me All I can do is while the hours Because you make me feel so free What do you want? Where do you wanna go? Let’s meet at a restaurant Let’s take in a movie show You got the glow You live your life like you mean it More than I ever did see You fly your kite so high It gets caught way up in between The Sun & the Moon, the Earth and the Sea I don’t know just what you’re doing to me But I like it...and you make me feel so free What do you want? Where do you wanna go? Let’s meet at a restaurant Let’s take in a movie show I told you before And I know that you know You’re so original You got the glow
8.
Right On 03:45
Right On (Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp) It’s been so different around this place See these colors explode in the sky Taking my time Taking my space Walking on the shore to the other side You’re simply magical Could you give me just a little more I can’t stop thinking of you You’re the reason that i’m living for You’re all that I want You’re all that I need I can’t believe What’s happening to me You’re all that I want You’re all that I need You’re all that I want You’re the best thing for me I can see those colors Reflecting in the sky Your love is like a Rainbow Beautiful and hard to find But I know, from the day that we’re together All our troubles will be left behind You’ll see, so clearly Exactly what I have in mind You’re simply magical Could you give me just a little more I can’t stop thinking of you You’re the reason that i’m living for You’re all that I want You’re all that I need I can’t believe What’s happening to me You’re all that I want You’re all that I need You’re all that I want You’re the best thing for me
9.
Yeah 03:43
Yeah (Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp) Spring clouds washing away all the blue sky I wanna bridge the distance in between you and I Maybe the rain will come on down and quench my thirst Things won’t be the same Until i get to you or you get to me first Yeah Look what you’ve been doing to me Yeah Look what you keep doing to me Yeah Look at what you done to me Yeah Look at what you’ve done for me Ocean waves bubble on up to the shore Come and carry me away I gotta get back to my baby Like a river rolling slowly to the sea There just ain’t no way To get around or escape your gravity City towers they scrape the stars Spring flowers come through the yard Minutes turn into hours and into days blend But we will always meet again Yeah Look at what you done to me Look at what you done for me Look at what you doing for me Look what you keep on doing to me
10.
Mighty Power 05:13
Mighty Power (Gabriel Gordon/Joel Shearer) Something about time and the way it moves Across the face of water Some say never mind the ways of this world When you’re just trying to find what you’re after Turn and twist and let it go When you’ve let your feelings show you know You cast your gaze across this world Just to see if someone could Read your mind and soothe your soul Could be the one to bring you home whole You can see clearly now What really happened to you And all the heights will seem to soar And the valleys bring you back for more But if you’re looking for me I’ll be searching I’ll be out searching, the mighty power Turn and twist and let it go When you let your feelings show you know You cast your gaze across this world Just to see if someone could Read your mind and soothe your soul Could be the one to bring you whole Remember when you didn’t know All the ways to watch the river flow Contained within your simple gaze Is the power to remain Drawn to light from all dark places I still get confused by all of these faces Just staring at me and clouding my view That’s when I realize just what’s coming to It’s the mighty mighty power that you use
