I Hope it's Enough
04:01
|

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

Embrace the Uncertainty
04:13
|

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

I'm Not Over You
03:27
|
|||
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

Everything is Alright
03:04
|

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

What Have You Got
02:59

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
