Comfort Zone

Bright lights, the glare of the camera's eye -
What awaited on the other side?
Well, we all signed up for this, now
We're going to have to see it through (yeah)
No cuts, though nearly every one of us
Heard a litany of flaws discussed
We survived through the audition
To make the competition...
I stepped outside my comfort zone
Sing out, 'cause that's what it's all about
Wanna hear the story clear and loud, now!
If you believe in what you're selling -
The tale is in the telling
I stepped outside my comfort zone
Moved fast, but all of this time has passed
Much better than we could've asked for
As we lock in to one another
Try to make the moment last (now)
Transformed, we've travelled beyond the norm
To discover what we could perform well
We have made this song our own
Outside the comfort zone
I stepped outside my comfort zone…

Swept Away
03:26

All the planets aligned when I saw her
Even across the crowded room
She saw me too, yes I'm certain that
We both started to look the same way…
In a gaze;
Swept away
She was out of my league, so they told me
But I did not listen very well
We really connected the moment that
We did away with the pedestal -- Hey!
We're here today
So come my way
Get swept away…
On our way somewhere great
We'd be safer to stay [Chorus]
But that's not how we're made
Well, we started to see something more than
Just a jaded opportunity
It's been an adventure, I'm assuring you
We have made the most of every day
In a way,
They're all today;
Soon swept away
On our way somewhere great
We'd be safer to stay
But that's not how we're made
(Or how we play…) [Chorus]
It's the freedom you gain
When you seize every day:
All your fears swept away

Not Jane

Angel - out of nowhere
Swooping down on
Me in my chair
Strolling round the corner
It's so easy to live up to
Her name's not Jane
Just plain Angel
Straight down from heaven
She turned it up to eleven
Morning never tasted
Any better - smell the coffee!
Her name's not Jane
Just plain Angel
She's eighteen, at the most
Skipping high school
For photo shoots (photo shoots)
There's no way this is real
Wake and bake, with a model!
Her name's not Jane
Just plain Angel
Her name's not Jane
Just plain Angel

I Know You

It's funny how - I think I know you
I don't know if it was maybe in a past life
I'm wondering when I might've seen you before
I don't know where it was but I'm sure that it was
You (do-doot-n-do-do)
I know you
Do I know you?
I know you
Got late again - guess it's time that I'd
Better take stock of myself and what I mean
All I know, is that it's you that is
Standing in front of me now…
Do I know you? (etc) {solo}
It's repetitive, the things we go through
We do them many ways, but all the same
It's different
All I know, is that it's you that is
Standing in front of me now…
Do I know you? (etc)

It's gonna be alright!

All The World

Let all the world in every corner sing
My God and King
All the world in every corner sing
My God and King
The heavens are not too high
For his praise to fly
The earth is not too low
His praises there may grow
Let all the world in every corner sing
My God and King
All the world in every corner sing
My God and King
The church with songs must SHOUT
No door can keep them out
Above all the heart
Must bear the longest part
Let all the world in every corner sing
My God and King
All the world in every corner sing
My God and King
The heavens are not too high
For his praise to fly
The earth his not too low
His praises there may grow
Let all the world in every corner sing
My God and King
All the world in every corner sing
My God and King

Voyageur
03:31
|
|||
|
Out of wood, carved with care
Distant pieces gathered, with stories to share
Made to sing - built to play;
Everything fit perfectly in place
Voyageur is like a musical experience of history
Ships and doors and sticks from
Henderson and Gretzky, even Rocket's ring
And so many more…
One guitar, a nation's pride,
Mirrors who we are, this mosaic of life
The Golden Spruce of Haida Gwaii
Felled to earth but still her spirit soars so high…
Voyageur is like a musical experience of history
Ships and doors and sticks from
Henderson and Gretzky, even Rocket's ring
And so many more…
Telling the story of a whole country
Little by little, the pieces add up to
One people's voice
Voyageur is like a musical experience of history
Ships and doors and sticks from
Henderson and Gretzky, even Rocket's ring
And so many more…

The Artist
02:49

Her eyes were pools of ink that day
I drew her gaze effortlessly
Yes, I think her soul was readable
(Not in the lines, but inbetween)
No light could close or change those eyes
Staring delightedly in mine
I'm sure the thought was visible
Becoming indivisible between
Her and me; me and love:
That's what I need
Well above the sheet of paper
Glows the mind that will betray her
Connecting eyes with eyes by tip of pen
And as she fills the lines with vision,
Draws my eyes in recreation,
I can see the beauty into them
Oh indivisibly
I can see the beauty lies between
Somewhere from her to me
I can see the beauty into them

All That
04:03
|

|
We've had lots of perfect moments
And it's easy to see that there will be a whole lot more
Maybe other times I've been in love were
Baby steps - and now I'm walking next to you
Straight and tall and true
We're on solid ground
I'd like to keep you around
All that I need - you're all I need now
You're bringing out the best in me
Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x2}
More than anyone I've ever known
Before, and after all this time that we've been through
I'm still discovering you
And what I've found:
I'd like to keep you around
All that I need - you're all I need now
You're bringing out the best in me
Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x2}
...{Guitar Solo}...=
It's the sweetest sound
I'd like to keep you around
All that I need - you're all I need now
You're bringing out the best in me
Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x4}
