Times Like These © 2005 Copperdown hold my breath to keep from screaming I must be dreaming asleep too long in a flash, like lightning life got frightening so keep me strong give me something true to hold on to come what may hey, have you heard the news today all that I once knew has passed away show me where to go now that the world has gone insane in times like these, it’s love that will remain in a daze my head is reeling and I’m appealing for clarity looking for the focus in the picture a permanent fixture to anchor me give me something wise that no amount of lies can take away it's love that will remain in times like these it's love that will remain

Dreamer © 2005 Copperdown I could run away take off on a holiday that never, ever ends find a hideaway some place where the love that I have looked for is waiting to welcome me in and we would sail away live a love so true with no more regret for things that happened yesterday it’s just me and you set out with the grace we have been given to build a bright new day I’ll be around should your heart and thoughts agree to be swept away by some sweet-talking fool like me when time for dreaming is gone all that remains is to get up and carry on wake up; breathe the air look out on the world that lies before us we have to make it there I’ll be around should your heart and thoughts agree to be swept away by some sweet-talking fool like me oh, a sweet-talking dreamer like me so much has faded away but I don’t mind I like it better this way I could run away take off on a holiday that never, ever ends

These Lonesome Days © 2005 Copperdown I’d like to know what’s running through your mind so much to weigh you down and if you want to commiserate in kind I could stay around hold on, don’t turn away morning has just begun you’ll never be more alive than today darling, don’t come undone and I could be the one that you’ve been waiting on all these lonesome days no matter where you are whether near or far you know it’s not too late the light still shining faintly in your eyes tells of better times long ago with every day a joyful, new surprise before the world turned your heart so cold but hold on, don’t turn away morning has just begun you’ll never be more alive than today darling, don’t come undone

Miriam © 2005 Copperdown Miriam, I don’t know what to do we can’t see each other’s point of view oh, but I’d like to set things right you insist on having your own way in spite of everything you heard me say are you running? let me be the one you run to I will be here to wipe away all your tears Miriam why do we always seem to fight? what will it take to see the light? are you running? I see through it all right to you I still love you I will never leave you Miriam we’re never seeing eye to eye you don’t stop to think, you just want to fly are you running? let me be the one you run to I still love you I will never leave you Miriam are you running? I see through it all right to you I will be here to wipe away all your tears and I will always love you Miriam

Into The Light © 2005 Copperdown I set myself up for a fall there is no one to blame but me caught up in a soft and easy vision of the world I made a bubble for my home here inside feels safe to me but it’s time to step outside into the light let your wind blow through me ‘cause I, for the first time I feel I feel alive I feel alive I feel alive flying down that road I hit my wall what have I been doing all this time Break away from everything that chained me down before hope springs eternal today it’s easy to do nothing but I will move outside into the light

Fly © 2005 Copperdown looking up, the moon is out in clear, blue sky couldn’t wait for the sun to end his day like the moon, so eager to rise up and shine her light you are catching every single ray fly let your spirit sing you can do anything now and then you’re bound to fall but get back up, spread your wings and fly keep an open heart that’s where true beauty starts ‘cause pure love lies in every stranger’s eyes you see things in a simple way of sheer delight hold fast, don’t let that slip away fly...

Another Might've Been © 2005 Copperdown so you got a zoo, or two, of monkeys on your back always waiting, always wondering but time is a precious thing, and you can’t get it back if you take the easy way, you waste your chances away and they wait for you like the morning dew fleeting before the sun you can make your play at the break of day or settle back and take a safe and ordinary road and you want it you can feel it don’t let it just burn out or fade away again another might have been for you to lie on oh, desire sings a sugar-sweet whispering don’t give too much away, you’re open to attack you miss the highs and lows you’re just the middle of the road

Everything To Me © 2005 Copperdown so beautiful she is to me her eyes much brighter than the brightest stars I’ve seen and I would give her everything if she would open up her heart and let me in and she will lead you on it’s no mystery, but I still play along one little look from her and I feel alright she just smiles, and I’m sky high she will go and my heart will break and I could tell her but nothing’s going to change my love for her she’ll never know though pure and true is this longing in my soul my love for her she’ll never see it’s nothing much to her but everything to me

It's Alright © 2005 Copperdown I think you’re crazy, but it’s all right could you lay it on the line? will you ever even try? I saw tears that you tried not to cry so you tell yourself the lie that’ll make you think it’s all right you convinced yourself that’s it’s all cool but are you certain deep inside? are you lonely there tonight? you didn’t share my point of view are you satisfied you’re right? are you lonely there tonight? this refusal to get hurt might make it easy, but it’s absurd one day you’ll find the world has passed you by all this freedom that you seek will leave you free, but incomplete when one day you find your prince has passed you by (bye bye) I think you’re wrong, but it’s all right could you lay it on the line? will you ever even try? you probably think I’m crazy, too but are you happier this way? nothing lost, and nothing gained I see the sadness in your eyes so you tell yourself the lie that’ll make you think it’s all right

Falling Away © 2005 Copperdown rescue me I've been drifting in a sea of treasure and toys that leaves mind and spirit rendered duller than I care to know mesmerized by all manner of cheap thrills and lights and noise and now time is rushing by and what have I that's real to show? falling away chasing down distractions looking for the way to try and make it right when all around are signs of a grand design so love and hope with all of your might trusting in the next big thing leaves you choked and withering like a sheep that's gone astray you fear approaching darkness but don't give it up before your day is done a shepherd with a light that can break the night will leave the ninety-nine to find the one life overflowing; make a joyful sound all that once was lost has now been found rescue me I've been drifting in a sea of treasure and toys and I have grown tired of this pointless game that keeps me... falling away chasing down distractions double back in vain to try and make it right when all around are signs of a grand design so love and hope with all of your might hang on, and know there's purpose in your plight

Even Giants © 2005 Copperdown funny how the changes come when they’re least expected over time the heart grows numb but seemingly protected setting off to win the world with the voice of reason the die is cast, the flag unfurled but folly is in season all the way home, you were so unfeeling the silence is revealing are you walking a wire? distracted by what you desire are you clear enough to know what you believe? even giants fall to earth one day their power and their glory stripped away and they become again the potter’s clay ready to be renewed pointed words go left unsaid while hollow praise is spoken better watch what makes your head or on it you’ll be broken two roads diverging the true man emerging when you’re cold, and feel alone you’re a million miles away from home will you still hold sight of all that you believe? when your time comes to speak and the audience is at your feet will you be bold enough to say what you believe? even giants fall to earth one day their power and their glory stripped away and they become again the potter’s clay and the same holds true for me and you

New Hope Road © 2005 Copperdown bye now, you know I won’t be long got to lose this heavy load moonlight on the water sings a song as I reach the New Hope Road echoes of old friends here and gone hang like perfume in the air and they hold me and everything turns out right for you, I’ll always be there and it’s everyone and every place ‘cause everyone is a child of grace New Hope, I’ll never let you go sweet honeysuckle night I know I’ll never be alone and out of darkness will come light

Beautiful Today © 2005 Copperdown all your life you strategize focus on your plan the future’s always very close but never here at hand and you say you're almost ready, but not quite hesitating until everything looks right well, you don't have to wait to see if things turn out ok 'cause it's beautiful today all your life you’ve been afraid afraid of what you’re not jealous of everybody else and wanting what they’ve got and you are right to say that life is tough but you're convinced that you're not good enough stop tearing yourself to pieces; you can't carry on that way you're beautiful today thing is, you don’t know what you’re waiting for and all that you really need all you want and more has been waiting for you at your front door your smile, I remember well haven’t seen it for so long won’t you let me help you to your feet and back where you belong you’d like to laugh but you’ve forgotten how well, have a go at living here and now don’t worry about tomorrow; it’ll get here anyway don’t you know life’s beautiful beautiful today
