You and I, we spent a lot of time in the woods And I hope the peace I find there has given its gift to you Simple things always made you feel good You’re still too young to know yourself or really know me too But what I had to offer Isn’t something you can buy And what I hope you got Is a love you can rely on I hope it’s enough I hope it’s enough to see you through I hope it’s enough I hope it’s enough to set you up right In the end, I hope I did enough to help you on your way For me it’s enough to know you’re okay Other kids, they got a whole lot more than you Well if you didn’t get what you wanted, I hope you got what you need I tried my best - could only do what I could do To build you a foundation with the tools passed down to me Like a house that’s full of laughter With music in the air And a sense of possibility And knowing someone cares I hope it’s enough I hope it’s enough to see you through I hope it’s enough I hope it’s enough to set you up right In the end, I hope I did enough to help you on your way For me it’s enough to know you’re okay And someday when I’m gone from here and it’ll be your time Think of my love and pass it on down the line Reading stories, riding bikes Concerts, plays and games Doctors, teachers, birthday parties Playing Daddy chase I hope it’s enough I hope it’s enough now child In the end, I hope I did enough to help you on your way In the end, I know you’ll be okay Yes I know you’re gonna be okay For me it’s enough to know you’re okay

You hide amongst the violins Music’s what you’re buried in An avalanche of little black dots And I want to dig you out You’re under pressure all the time Fear is messing with your mind When the walls start closing in It’s time to shut the case Even Paganini made mistakes Life’s a chance you take Take a chance with me Life’s a choice you make Face the absurdity Don’t take it personally Embrace the uncertainty Perfect is beside the point It’s guaranteed to disappoint It’s a great big messy world out there And I want to get messy with you The future could go any which way You can practise but you might not play The only thing I know for sure Is nothing ever stays the same So take a breath and just be glad you came Life’s a chance you take Take a chance on me Life’s a choice you make It comes with no guarantee Don’t take it seriously Embrace the uncertainty Music is a launching pad How come it makes you feel so sad Play the notes that fill your ears Propel yourself beyond your fears Whatever will be will be Embrace the uncertainty

When I’m with you, we’re both alone In different zones, what’s going on Don’t drift away - It’s not too late I know that I’ve been distant But I’m back and here we are Turn your face to me and hear my heart I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over you I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over you You’re too much to lose We built a life we forget to live Can love forgive when we forget It gets washed away in the everyday By the waves that beat upon us And the ever-changing tide But baby look, I’m still here by your side I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over you I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over you You’re too much to lose I’m in this forever After all these years together I’m not just gonna let us fall apart We share each other’s secrets I know who you are And I’m not over you yet, not by far I’m not over you I’m not over I’m not over you I’m not over I’m not over I’m not over you Over you I’m not over you You’re too much to lose

Letting Go 04:29
Of all the mistakes I've made The biggest one was holding on To fear and doubt and shame I've owned this collection far too long I give it all away I give it all away I open up my arms and let the world in, and so I kiss the past goodbye so I can begin letting go Oh - Letting go Oh - letting go Letting go I don't love you any less I just don’t want to hang around Cuz I have no room left For anyone who drags me down Yeah you can't pull me down No one can pull me back down I open up my eyes and let the world in, and so I kiss you goodbye so I can begin letting go Oh - Letting go Oh - letting go Letting go Away, away, I slip away I float away from yesterday Away, away, I cast away So far from yesterday Ooh - Letting go, letting go, letting go Hey now, hey now Letting go I open up my eyes Leave the past behind Letting go Open up my arms I give it all away Let the whole world in I’m letting go - oh Kiss the past goodbye The future can begin Time to let it go

Grandfather Sun woke early today The morning breeze swept my troubles away So I stayed still And soaked up the light And everything is alright yes I know Everything is alright A hummingbird heard me singing a song I smiled at him and he hummed along We belong Friends together in flight And everything is alright yes I know That everything is alright Sometimes dark clouds can bring me down But sometimes the rain needs to kiss the ground And wash over me Today I helped a good friend in need I held her hand and made her some tea Until she Waved her sadness goodbye And everything’s gonna be alright Everything is alright Sometimes the river can pull me down But most of the time I just let it float me around And wash over me Grandmother Moon sits high in the sky She never stops shining her light That’s right – although I can’t always see I lose sight That everything is alright - yes it is now Everything is alright Everything is alright

If they take away your pencils and powders Or the mirror hanging on the wall If they take away your manufactured sex appeal What have you got What have you got If they take away your corner office Or the title hanging on the door If they kick away the ladder you’ve been climbing on What have you got What have you got What have you got What have you got If you get your head out of that Harlequin romance I’ll stop watching those dirty videos I’ve been seeing Let’s go sit together in a room with no distractions And learn to love each other just like human beings If they take away our televisions Our churches and our jobs If they take away the curse of money What have you got What have you got What have you got What have you got What have you got When you strip it all away What have you got At the end of the day What have you got When you dig down deep What have you got What lies underneath What have you got

L'espoir 03:47
Love is flowing like water Wearing away whatever blocks its path I’m a drop in there somewhere Doing my best to rearrange the map Carving out new designs With the changing tide The current runs deep The river grows wide I know the world is changing I know I’m changing too I feel a new direction Hope is breaking through (l’espoir) Love is breaking through (l’espoir) I know the world is changing I want to change this world with you Change this world with you The veil is finally lifting Soon we will see each other as we are Different shades in a spectrum One big tapestry on a blue star I feel a shift in the wind The energy spins Clearing away the past So healing can begin I know the world is changing I know I’m changing too I feel a new direction Hope is breaking through (l’espoir) Love is breaking through (l’espoir) I know the world is changing I want to change this world with you Change this world with you Je veux changer le monde Change this world with you – c’mon I know my world needs changing Je dois changer aussi I feel a new direction C’est dans le vent et je le suis (l’espoir) C’est dans le vent et je le suis (l’espoir) I know the world is changing Love is breaking through (love is breaking through) I want to change this world with you I want to change this world with you L’espoir
