The depths of the sky with the stars so bright, radiating light Come be my guide in the chaos of the night Dancing in the wilderness with the shadows of my ghosts In this solitary time they don’t waste getting close I’ve been waiting for the light to come Pushing back the tales that lead on and on to numb I've been waiting I've been waiting for the light I’m calling for strength to forge ahead, weathering the storms Composed by dissonance meant to transform Holding the complexities as part of the design Each day I bend a little just tryin’ to feel alive I’ve been waiting for the light to come Pushing back the tales that lead on and on to numb I've been waiting I've been waiting for the light Hurling all the stones to the river hoping one; one might float Spinning through the whispers weaving their web, web of lies Collapse into the willow as it shelters me holding the choke in the pit of my throat Hoping the currents might inspire a release strong enough to carry me I will wait for the light I will wait for the light to come Push back the tales that lead on and on to numb I’m waitin’ for the light

When there’s clouds, you’ll be here Carrying me through the storm When this darkness surrounds me You’ll send just enough light to remind me you’re near Dance, soaring through the heavens Feel the peace, the peace we all deserve When holding hands with the angels as though they’re your sisters Smile knowing the suns rays are echoing your prayers When alone is all I feel Missing you through and through I find strength to fall and kneel I start singing with you through my prayers Dance, soaring through the heavens Feel the peace, the peace we all deserve When holding hands with the angels as though they’re your sisters Smile knowing the suns rays are echoing your prayers When times come and gone and your voice seems far I’m gonna sing this song until I feel you sing along Won’t be caught off guard thinking hope’s not ours Your light’s still livin’ within as we press on and on Dance, soaring through the heavens Feel the peace, the peace we all deserve When holding hands with the angels as though they’re your sisters Smile knowing the suns rays are echoing your prayers

Invisible 04:28
How does it feel to be a child forced to kill your own man? Forced to flee your home in search of safety then stolen away and handed a gun Ordered not to cry to preserve your own life, Beaten into the bush and told, march on Child of War Child of War When we meet you your light follows us into the world But you’re Still, Still Invisible How did it feel the night you escaped the L.R.A. only to find your families long passed Faith sustains you day to day as you’re terrorized by crimson dreams through the night Starvation and AIDS try to send you to the grave. Who knows if you’re dead or alive Child of War Child of War When we meet you, your light follows us into the world But you’re Still, Still Invisible Under African Skies we hear symphonies of laughter Coming from war-torn souls Under African Skies we hear the marches of dancing Dancing on your bare soles Child of War Child of War When we meet you, your light follows us into the world No More, No More Invisible

He strolls the city streets at dusk Camouflaged in the alleys Searching for refuge and a shoulder to trust Glued to his father’s patterns He screams I’m dying to bury these thorns Come Rescue My belief that this is fate Come Rescue I’m a Modern day castaway Her clothes are worn and streaked with waste Withering away slowly Losing her temple to another stark man Floating in toxic relief She screams I’ll collide with heaven tonight Come Rescue My belief that this is fate Come Rescue I’m a Modern day castaway Live to Love then seek to save only to fade Live to Love then seek to save only to fade We’re all dying for change Come Rescue My Belief That is fate Come Rescue I’m a Modern day castaway They stroll the city street at dusk

It Goes 03:55
Lost, I wait to be found Found from the crowd, the crowd of voices in my head Drown, Swallow this sound ‘Till I can find one voice, the voice that’s been underground Scream await the release Yearn to be close, yeah close to living again Fade all that’s restrained So I can start to feel, to feel the tides of the rise n’ fall Well this cycle it goes Wake n stand, thirst n fall Well this cycle it goes Repeating yeah, repeating Yeah, This cycle it goes Breathe and wake to the fire Count all that’s lost and start the choir where it left off I Lift, n’ Anchor my eyes ‘Till I can see through smoke, the smoke that’s clouded this song Well this cycle it goes Wake n stand, thirst n fall Well this cycle it goes Repeating yeah, repeating Repeating yeah, repeating Yeah, This cycle it goes
