Intro
01:50
|

|
I′ve been searching for the right way to start
How to give a page with every single part
Open up my mind put it down on paper
Open up my heart so you see it's vapour
I used to be cold
It used to be frozen
I′m opening my soul so you see where my heart is
You'll see rooms that have never been seen by anybody
Places I don't even go
You′ll see hurt that has never been seen by anybody
Places I don′t even go
I'm good though

Brand New
03:16
|

|
Dropped out
There′s nothing left here to build on
Nothing but dream, imagination where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Have we lost our minds?
If so where did we lose them?
Can't be too hard to find
Endless loop of confusion
Brand new
(It all started from the very beginning)
Brand new
(A clean slate, where no mistakes lay)
I′m brand new
(Who would've thought it?)
I'm brand new
(I′m brand new)
Watch out
Watch out world you know I′m coming for you
Hands high
Praising my God soon you will be too
(Open your eyes to see it)
Purpose is thrown around a lot
Have you ever thought around whatever you want?
Whatever you want?
Look above at all the possibilities you have
To choose from, to choose from (yeah)
Take it or leave it
(Take it or leave it)
The gift is yours receive it
(The gift is yours receive it)
Run free to those who need it
(Run free to those who need it)
Open your eyes to see it
(Open your eyes to see it)
Oh I'm brand new
Brand new
(Brand new in you)
Brand new
(Brand new, I′m made new in you)
I'm brand new
(Open your eyes to see it)
I′m brand new
(Open your eyes to see it)

Speak Your Mind
03:34
|
|||
|
Open up your mind, open up your heart
I′ve been thinking 'bout it all day
What else do you have to say?
What goes on behind your eyes?
Talk to me and just speak your mind
Speak your mind
Don′t you see that baby I've got you in my mind
Running 'round in circles, stuck and I′m losing time
Time, time, time
Wasting time, seek and find
The openness of people
Needs to be up high the pinnacle
On preference, don′t be cynical
I've got your message, here it goes:
You′re needy, me too
Rejection is a real thing, it's true
Open up your mind and speak the truth (yeah)
I′ll be here for you and you'll be here too
You′ll be here
I just need a person to be open (Just be honest with me)
Open to talk about the real-
Sick and tired of the bulls-
Eye moving on the target
Changing all the goals I hit
I just want to throw my hands up
I'm losing, I feel like I'm losing
I′m telling you the truth and
I′ve got nothing to lose here
Get in deep work through it
You've got something say it
Don′t be so afraid, it could free you everyday
Open the door and show me more
Don't you see that baby I′ve got you in my mind
Running 'round in circles, stuck and I′m losing time
Moving through the scene of a 50's set
Singing in the Rain got my brain all wet
(Ahhh, yeah?)
Wasting time, seek and find
Rise and shine, speak your mind
I'm just so sick of the surface stuff (yeah)
"Hi, how you going?" just ain′t enough
You can tell me about yourself
The way you think, the way you feel
Your inconsistencies, your in′s and out's
Your pain, it counts (yeah)
Don′t you see that baby I've got you in my mind
Running ′round in circles, stuck and I'm losing time
Moving through the scene of a 50′s set
Singing in the Rain got my brain all wet (yeah)
Wasting time, seek and find
Rise and shine, speak your mind
Open up your mind, open up your heart

There′s a place
That I want to show you
And I know you'll be scared for me
I haven′t shown anybody
So I'm welcoming you in
I've got only three minutes
Here left of your visit
Unless you were planning to stay
I don′t mind if you wander around for a while
Just don′t look inside somewhere you can rely on
Skeletons in my closet, fear burning my fireplace
Nothing left of my confidence and less than none on my dinner plate
But, there is nothing here for you to worry about
Unless you are ready to be kicked out
I've been waiting for some time now
To open up on my mind and wow
I′ve never opened the blinds
And now the sun is ready to shine (I guess)
Leave nothing left behind (I guess)
I never wanted to lie to you
But here, I'm ready to spill the truth (yeah)
Let me show you to the other room
There′s a place
That I want to show you
And I know you'll be scared for me
I haven′t shown anybody
So I'm welcoming you in
Before we enter I want you to know
That this is where my head hurts
And where I don't go
Got no problems to solve
When I ignore my own
And it′s all well and good, ′till I face them alone
On the 43rd minute my head can't forget it
I′ve got no more room to move
The walls moving in, I've got pain in my chest
And my hands on both sides of the room
My head reaching out for air
This room isn′t where I stand
This room is not my strength
It's crippling (It′s crippling)
There's a place
That I want to show you
And I know you'll be scared for me
I haven′t shown anybody
So I′m welcoming you in

Grow Up
02:54
|
|||
|
What I don′t want to see, I listen to
What I don't want to hear, I watch
I′m not moving at all, I'm stagnant
I don't wanna be here stuck
I want to grow up
I feel like a child, waiting for the answer
Stop asking me questions, I don′t know the answer
I′ve got people asking me, "who are you gonna be?"
I say I guess I don't really know just yet
I have big dreams and little legs
Can′t move too quick
I take my chance, I'm getting there
Can′t move too quick
Oh I have my projects
I've got music you don′t ask about it
I won't tell you nothing
Don't act like you have a right to know it
If you knew anything about me
You wouldn′t have to ask me about my dreams
My dreams
What I don′t want to see, I listen to
What I don't want to hear, I watch
I′m not moving at all, I'm stagnant
I don′t wanna be here stuck
I want to grow up
I let you in my head
I'm getting my dream back (dream back)
I′m getting my dream back
I'm getting my dream back
My dream, dream, dream back
(Oooh, yeah)
(I lost control here a little bit,
But that's alright, I guess...)

So Be It
03:45
|
|||
|
(So be it)
I′ve been up and down
I've been learning about how I could
Be better and see clearer
I′ve been in and out of what you would call a good mindset
Framing all my words, focus in on all the wrong things
Spiral down a curve, spin off into the deep end
I've been in and out of what you would call a good mindset
So be it
If I can't do it right
So be it
If I lose in the night
So be it
I need to open my eyes
So be it, so be it, so be it, so be it
Let it be
I′ve been wasting time
I procrastinate a lot
I can see differently now
I can tell when things are off but
I′ve been in and out of what you would call a good mindset
I, I project a lot and it's my, all my fault
I do wrong and that′s okay
Forgive me by the way
'Cause there′s gonna come a day
When you're gon′ hear me say
So be it
If I can't do it right
So be it
If I lose in the night
So be it
I need to open my eyes
So be it, so be it, so be it, so be it
So be it
If I'm alone for the day
So be it
Tomorrow won′t be the same
So be it
I need to openly say
So be it, so be it, so be it, so be it
I need to learn to let it be
I need to learn to let it be
I need to learn to let it be (let it be)
I need to learn to let it be (go on, go let it be)
Let it be
So be it
Go on, go let it be
So be it
So it goes, so it goes, let it be
Let it be
So be it
Go on go let it be
So be it
So it goes, so it goes, let it be
I need to learn, to let it be
I need to learn, to let it be
So it goes, so it goes, let it be
So it goes, so it goes, let it be

Wild World
04:28
|
|||
|
(Yeah, one two, one two three...)
There′s a place where I learnt to go
It's a wild world
Where the sun can′t melt the snow
And I know what you're thinking
You think I've been drinking
But, frankly it′s where I belong
It′s a crazy world, and that's where I feel at home
Some days I just lose my mind (I lose my mind)
I feel so low that I dwell and get stuck
On a roll and my mood just ain′t right
I need an escape from my day to day
Some way, some how get me above the clouds
And I'll fly away
I want to fly away
There′s a place where I learnt to go
It's a wild world
Where the sun can′t melt the snow
And I know what you're thinking
You think I've been drinking
But, frankly it′s where I belong
It′s a crazy world, and that's where I feel at home (home)
I stop, take a breath
And I close my eyes
I open my mind, to what′s inside
And you know, where I go
It's where it starts
Creating art from a growing heart
There′s a place where I learnt to go
It's a wild world
Where the sun can′t melt the snow
And I know what you're thinking
You think I've been drinking
But, frankly it′s where I belong
It′s a crazy world, and that's where I feel at home
(It′s where I feel)
There's a place (there′s a place)
Where I (where I) learnt to go (I learnt to go)
It's a wild world (It′s a wild, wild world)
Where the sun can't melt the snow
And I know what you're thinking
You think I′ve been drinking
But, frankly it′s where I belong
It's a crazy world, and that′s where I feel at home (home)

Nothing
04:38
|
|||
|
You got to see, got to learn how to let it all go
Did I miss the memo?
It seems that the lesson you got was in how to control
Did I miss the call?
I hold on, most of the time
I take on what you say
There is no time of day that I can waste
Yet I focus on the fake and get bent out of shape
′Cause they didn't think through what they say to me
I need a break to read through it all
It takes a while to understand where you′re coming from
'Cause my mind ain't right
I can′t see through, I ain′t got night vision
No, not like you
It's all facing inward
It′s all about me
I want to be set free 'cause it seems (yuh)
In every conversation, I′m the topic (ha)
In every situation, I'm the drop it (drop)
In every chain I′m the weak
In every strong I'm the hold
What do I control?
Nothing
I'm nothing without you
There′s a part of everybody
At least one, maybe two
That is broken beyond fixing
And no one has the glue
It′s not a blu-tacky thing
To move on get the ring
And pay the fine for your life
But you don't have to just survive
There′s a man in the clouds
Who is listening now
And He wants you around when you pass on
(When you go to the heavens)
And all I've gotta say, is there′s no other way
But the power and grace of His name
(Jesus)
Nothing
I'm nothing without you
(Yeah it′s true I need you)

They'll Wait
04:23
|
|||
|
Don′t speak, slow down
I know where you're at now
You can rest here
And know that It′s alright
I've got you near
And I will forever be holding you tight
I know the pain
Bubbling inside your veins
I know it's strange (know)
And all that is gonna change but,
You can rest here
And know that It′s alright
I′ve got you near
And I will forever be holding you tight
Open up your eyes and see
The world outside is waiting
I know you're scared to grab your wings
I′ll hold your hand when that time (time, time)
Comes again
And they'll wait for you
For as long as you need them to
Stop right there, lay your head down
Take a breath you can rest now
(You can, you can, you can)
You can rest here
And know that it′s alright
You can rest here
And know that it's alright

I've Got Time
04:21
|
|||
|
I′ve got time to smooth things over
I know that's true
I got people ahead and further
Better than you, for me
I know it′s hard for me to see
Past here and now
But, I've got time and room to move the furniture around
This house right here is not brand new
Oh it's been a while
Since we opened the doors just for you
To see who lives inside
You don′t know who I am but that′s okay
I'm a work-in-progress woman
Growing right in front of your face
Going up, feeling down
And my head, spinning ′round but
It'll get better than this (right)
I′ll be better than this (yeah)
My head is in the clouds
And He's showing me around
The music you can hear it now
I feel free but still tied down
I know what you see ain′t what you get
But, now though I've got room to move and breathe again
Deep breath, inhale
I'mma live to tell the tale, I′mma live to tell the tale
Front door, is where I welcome you
Back door, is where you sneak out
After I show, you all the rooms in my head
I know they′re messy, they need some cleaning up
I'm getting ready, to clear it out
I got my head on straight for the first time
And it′s a great day on this earth right
Spring cleaning in August got rain on my sweater
A time that you find, oh no there is no better
To grow and evolve in the words of creator
Grow in the knowledge of Christ now, forever
He sees through all of the things I do
To try and hide from you
So I'm giving it all back, giving it all back
He sees through all of the things I do
To try and escape from view
So I′m giving it all back, giving it all back
Giving it all back
Giving it back
I'm giving it back
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Wish I Could Fly
04:16
|

|
Ladies and Gentlemen, what you are about to hear
Is the untold story of how a girl just disappeared
You see, she wasn′t one of them.
No, not the girl thought of now and then
She had quite a dream, that nobody believed in
But, she knew what she had so she started to sing.
She sang and she sang, 'till someone heard her voice
That someone was in the sky, that someone was named God
He gave her that voice, and showed her how to use it
He looked her in the eye, and taught her how to fly
One time, one moment (no)
Two times, they told me
Told me to stop that, what I′m doing
They told me to stop that, stop trying
They said, you should go to uni, get a job (ehhh)
You will get more money, I don't really care about that (no i don't)
I don′t really think about that like you do
But, you can watch me win a Grammy
I′mma bring it back
Tell you not to stab another person in the back
Let a girl dream, let her do her thing
Just because you can't see it
Don′t mean it ain't for me
Of course, I did not know how to tell them
I sat back and listened to all of the negative words they said
I could not pretend, so I called on God (dear Lord)
I wish I could fly
Over towns and through all of the clouds
Won′t you give me wings
Teach me how to follow the wind
I just want to see all the things you've put in place for me
Oh please show me how (ladies and gentlemen)
I should probably give you something here to think about
A wise man, the one man, most dope of them all said
"Be you, and you′ll be fine"
But, I'mma be better than fine, here's why
I can live on bread and water for a month (for a month)
I don′t need a fancy car I′ve got one (Max)
I don't need a degree from a big Uni
To show you how much music means to me
I want to see the world, want to see the king set you free
I′mma see it all because He put the dream inside me
I'm gon′ be me, I'll be fine
"Be you and you will be fine"
I just want to fly again
I wish I could fly
Over towns and through all of the clouds
Won′t you give me wings
Teach me how to follow the wind
I just want to see all the things you've put in place for me
Oh please show me how (ladies and gentlemen)

Something Peaceful
04:02
|
|||
|
There′s something peaceful about it
Knowing there's more to me than what I see
And there′s a grace that surrounds it
And that my friend makes my heart sing
I look above to the clouds
Open my eyes and see
All the goodness that you've got for me
An endless supply of love
All the goodness that you've got for me
There′s something peaceful about it
Knowing there′s more to me than what I see (what I see)
And there's a grace that surrounds it
And that my friend makes my heart sing (makes my heart sing)
Oooh, I get it
Oooh, I get it
I get it now
I get it, the feeling inside it′s barbaric
Don't sweat it
I′ve been growing from the one who was broken
To someone who knows who she is
I get it, you're trying to fit in, don′t do it
Conforming is ruined, it's outed
It's losing, it′s scared to be different
′Cause different is weird, it's unique though
I′m here to say it, get out and write it
Stand up and play it
Don't fall for the lies, don′t trip on the wires
Just grab your wings let's fly
I look above to the clouds
Open my eyes and see
All the goodness that you′ve got for me
An endless supply of love (love)
All the goodness that you've got for me
There's something peaceful about it
Knowing there′s more to me than what I see (what I see)
And there′s a grace that surrounds it
And that my friend makes my heart sing (makes my heart sing)
There's something peaceful about it
Knowing there′s more to me than what I see (what I see)
And there's a grace that surrounds it
And that my friend makes my heart sing (makes my heart sing)
