Leaves are fallin’ colors turn
Candles flicker let 'em burn
Wind’s got secrets whispers low
October’s here puttin' on a show

The moon pulls back the veil
Chasin' dreams like ships that sail

(October oh-oh)
You play your hand so slow
(October mmm)
You hide the sun you let it go
(Oh October yeah)
A dance between the dark and light
You steal the day you own the night

Steps on the sidewalk crunchin' through
Old regrets the sky's so blue
Shadows stretch they run away
October laughs makes 'em stay

The moon pulls back the veil
Chasin' dreams like ships that sail

(October oh-oh)
You play your hand so slow
(October mmm)
You hide the sun you let it go
(Oh October yeah)
A dance between the dark and light
You steal the day you own the night

Colors fade like words we say
You leave but you always stay

October’s secrets never told
Paintin’ tales in red and gold

Sailing faraway
Like a memory
It's time for me to go home
The tides are calling my name
Call my name
This note in my bottle
Hopefully into the hands of someone like you
You'll find it in tomorrow
And call my name

Call my name
Call my name

A message from the past
A writer unable to gasp
The words they had left undeclared
So cruel and unfair
The audience hears
The struggling echoes
It travels through
Whichever city you are
Just so you'll hear

You called my name
You called my name
You called my name
You

This note in my bottle
These words will enlighten you
And once that the time is for you
It's time for you to go home
The tides are calling your name

Call my name
Call my name

(Just pretend)
(Just pretend)
(Just pretend)
(Just pretend)

Winding roads so untraveled
Ancient tales yet untold
Life’s a detailed map edges shining gold
Seeking deeper truth
In every lie we weave
Finding lost hope hearts will believe

Lost and found
Wandering around
Life's great joke
Joy profound

Journey’s call
We rise we fall
Discovery's song
Where we belong
Steps we take
Hearts might break
Journey's end
Just pretend

Mountains high
Valleys deep
Dreams awake fears asleep
Crossing bridges
Burning some
Finding peace
From where we come

Lost and found
Wandering around
Life's great joke
Joy profound

Journey’s call
We rise we fall
Discovery's song
Where we belong
Steps we take
Hearts might break
Journey's end
Just pretend

In the search
Hearts do learn
Flames ignite
Passions burn

Paths unknown
Hearts will roam
In the end
Find our home

Just pretend (pretend)
Just pretend (pretend)
Just pretend (pretend)
Just pretend (pretend)

She walks with grace under the open sky
With every step she feels alive
In the breeze that whispers through her hair
She's found a freedom beyond compare

Through the valleys deep and mountains high
She's journeyed far beneath the endless sky
With every hurdle every trial she's faced
She's emerged stronger with spirit embraced

Now she's free like a bird in flight
With wings spread wide she takes to the height
No chains to bind her no walls to confine
In her freedom she'll forever shine

In the echoes of her laughter in the songs she sings
She finds the melody that her heart brings
In the dance of life she's found her groove
With every move she'll dare to prove

Through the shadows of her past she'll stride
With courage burning she'll never hide
For in her freedom she's found her voice
In the symphony of life she'll rejoice

No longer shackled by doubt or fear
She's risen above she's found her sphere
In the vast expanse of endless blue
She's discovered a freedom pure and true

Now she's free like a bird in flight
With wings spread wide she takes to the height
No chains to bind her no walls to confine
In her freedom she'll forever shine

So let her soar let her roam
In her freedom she's found her home
With every heartbeat every breath
She'll embrace this freedom until her last step

In the still of the night I'm wanderin' alone
Stars whisper secrets in a language unknown
Moonlight’s a canvas painting dreams in my mind
In the silence of the night lost things I find

Shadows softly dance
In a mystic trance

Oh the night calls my name
Through the stars in their flame
Oh the night calls my name
Guiding dreams none the same

In the calm the memories sigh
Footsteps on the path a journey so deep
Secrets of the night in silence we keep

Mysteries unfold
Stories left untold

In the night hearts align
Mystery’s light so divine

Shadows softly dance
In a mystic trance

Oh the night calls my name
Through the stars in their flame
Oh the night calls my name
Guiding dreams none the same

Oh the night calls my name
Through the stars in their flame
Oh the night calls my name
Guiding dreams none the same

In the night hearts align
Mystery’s light so divine

Wake up every mornin' see di struggle all around
People fightin' tryin' hard to lift up from di ground
Babylon it press we down but we nah gonna fall
Risin' up as one we standin' proud and tall

Feel di fire in yuh heart never let dem tear apart
Fightin' for di peace we seek strong and steady never weak

Oh oh we fight for love (fight fight)
Underneath di skies above (above above)
Oh oh salvation’s near (near near)
Strugglin' through di night but we have no fear (no fear no fear)

Look around yuh see di pain but hope is shinin' bright

Every tear and every scar stories of we fight
Strength within di unity we rise to greater heights

Feel di fire in yuh heart never let dem tear apart
Fightin' for di peace we seek strong and steady never weak

Oh oh we fight for love (fight fight)
Underneath di skies above (above above)

Carry peace within yuh heart never let it part

She walks alone a cane in hand
Silent whispers on this land
Her eyes are closed yet she can see
The path of life a mystery

Through shadows deep she finds her way
Balancing scales in night and day
(yes night and day)

Blind she walks the road so long
With every heartbeat right from wrong
Her cane a scale in her grasp tight
The dog her conscience through the night

A dog by her side a faithful guide
Barking truths she cannot hide
Each step she takes the world in sway
Justice seeks its perfect day

Through shadows deep she finds her way
Balancing scales in night and day
(yes night and day)

Blind she walks the road so long
With every heartbeat right from wrong
Her cane a scale in her grasp tight
The dog her conscience through the night

In the darkness she sees the light
In the silence she hears the fight
Through the chaos finds the peace
In every trial a sweet release

In a castle of splendor he sits on his throne
A crown of jewels a kingdom to own
But in his heart there's only one thing
Gold the metal that makes him king

With every coin every shining gem
His love for gold he can't condemn
In its glimmer he sees his worth
A treasure more precious than birth

For he's the king who loves gold
In its gleam his dreams unfold
With every hoard every mound
In gold his kingdom's crown

Through lands of plenty he seeks to find
More gold to enrich his mind
In vaults deep and dungeons dark
His obsession leaves its mark

With every sunrise he counts his gold
In its warmth he feels bold
But in the silence of the night
He's haunted by its blinding light

For he's the king who loves gold
In its gleam his dreams unfold
With every hoard every mound
In gold his kingdom's crown

But in his quest for riches untold
He's lost sight of hearts grown cold
For in the end what will remain
But memories of his golden reign?

For he's the king who loves gold
In its gleam his dreams unfold
With every hoard every mound
In gold his kingdom's crown

Yet in the end he'll come to see
That gold alone won't set him free
For in the richness of love and grace
Lies the true treasure of his place

The thought of you in another place
It drives me mad it's so unfair
How do you handle this empty space
When your love's supposed to be there?

Lost in time the moments gone
Who will bring back what we had
How can we fix what went so wrong
When every memory feels so sad?

It's not fair it's not right
How can you sleep alone tonight?
You say you love but how do you cope
With the loss of time where's the hope?

Who will return the hours we lost
Can you buy back what's been spent?
Time's a thief it takes at a cost
What is broken can't be lent

Counting seconds every tick
Feels like a lifetime every click
In another place you're far away
How do we find the words to say?

It's not fair it's not right
How can you sleep alone tonight?
You say you love but how do you cope
With the loss of time where's the hope?

It's not fair it's not right
How can you sleep alone tonight?
You say you love but how do you cope
With the loss of time where's the hope?

So tell me now how do we mend
A broken heart a love to tend
With time that's lost how do we win
In a world where we can't begin again?

Why does it hurt
To hope? (Mmm ooh ooh ooh)
Why does it hurt?
(Let it out)
To hope? (Ayy ayy)
Why does it hurt
Why does it hurt?
(Ooh ooh ooh)

I love you like the segments
On the news
Cut between the stories of the hood
The heroes
And the glues
Seen and see-through
I could
Read the room
The sky turned red
The stage was vast
The moon took center view
And so did you

Why does it hurt
To hope? (Mmm ooh ooh ooh)
Why does it hurt?
(Let it out)
To hope?
(Ayy ayy)
Why does it hurt?

Why I'm supposed to hope
That things will change?
Keep thinkin' things will settle
As I get older with age
Huh but nothin's never been the same
So in the meantime
Might as well let 'em know my name
And I ain't gon' waste a second

So baby
Show me somethin' that I need for now
I don't mean to use you till I turn around
But maybe you might find you wanna stick
Around

Got so many skeletons inside my closet
That I don't go past October
'Cause if I start lookin' around
Might not come back till the fall is over
Like ooh ooh ooh

It's a thin line
Between love and hate
Between the real and the fake
There ain't no switchin' sides
You know there ain't no in-between
With love and hate

The things I love
The things I hate
They can just irritate me until they motivate me
Hit the road and take me
Lift me up and elevate me
And curve some paths to navigate me to gold
The pears grow from the seed and the tree and the roots and the soul
You know the thicker the skin
The less mindful the fangs that unfold

Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'

The things I hate
The things I love
They can just lift me high as the clouds above me
Ain't a flaw in a dove's wings
Just needs a little bit of coseting
A dose of humanity
Or so I'm told
You see
The Hunger Games ain't never yet got old

Thin lines grows thicker and thicker
It's all them thick-thick girls
That's been my soldiers
And we patrolin'
You know it's love
It ain't hate

Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'
Thin line grows thicker
Hearts don't make good mirrors
Seein' clearer
Know when it's love and hate
We gotta relocate away
Ain't no fakin'
