Sensitive Souls
02:53

Sound the alarm
We’re running in place
For the love of addiction
And the thrill of a chase
Anyone can lie
Truth’s hard to find
Virtue is to love
To love deep enough
All running scared
Thoughts and your prayers
Falling from grace
Is anyone there?
Is it the best we can do?
Does anybody care?
We’re headed for a cliff
And we’re almost there
Some people like
To do as they’re told
But a sensitive soul
Feels every bump in the road
Flood water’s rising
Storm’s rolling in
It’s the race of our life
We might never win
It’s easy to hate
And so hard to love
You give and you take
Did you give enough?
Runnin’ in circles
Caught in the machine
No turning back
Is it the mark of the beast?
Have we been here before?
Was it always this bad?
Right here right now
Might be the best that we’ve had
It could be worse
But it’s getting old
A sensitive soul
Feels every bump in the road
If war is a cancer
And the rich man wins
We can’t get this world
Back together again
If love is the answer
Is it too late?
It’s tempting to check out
And lose your faith
Let’s band together
Let’s ask why
We’ll flip the boat over
It’s no time to hide
So to hell with their walls
And faux Christian ways
It’s time to rise up
We’ve no time to waste
Some are out laughing
When you’re out in the cold
But a sensitive soul
Feels every bump in the road
It could be worse
But it’s getting old
A sensitive soul
Feels every bump in the road

I'm Your Girl
03:49
|

Easy on the eyes
Turn the lights down low
You know you can’t fight the tide
Or the feeling low
Ripe on the vine
The moment is divine
What is sacred to the lovers
Of this wild and wicked world?
Mothers carry babies
Across a thousand miles
When war and the famine
Stole away their lives
Headed for a vision
And want for something more
Than fear and starvation
In this wild and wicked world
I’m your girl
And I will march for justice in the streets
Great divide, let’s bridge it
And hope for better things
I know you and I just want
The best for those we love
I’m your girl and I will fight for all
The lovers of this world
Question all the leaders
And know who pulls the strings
Follow the money
And vote for finer things
But someone pays the price
An angel gets their wings
A cage shames a nation
And every human being

In The Name of God
03:53
|

Boots on the ground, bullets raining down
Better run run run before you even hear the sound
You say you’re better off fighting if you’re gonna go down
Better get your gun get your gun
World keeps spinning and the news cycles round
Better harden your heart before it comes unwound
All that’s wrong we won’t talk about for long
Cause the news cycles on, cycles on
Refugee, flee the refugee
My god tells me to help the refugee
Our president won’t let me
We all deserve to be free
Oh oh
Fear and hate is devil you see
You’ve lost your way & it’s making you mean
It’s hard to choose love when there’s war on the screen
No hate’s not gonna rule me
My god your god, in the name of god
Why do we hate each other in the name of god?
He said to love one another but we forgot
No, there ain’t no kindness in a gun
Still the bullets rain down, boots on the ground
I’m gonna take a knee ‘til we turn this thing around
No your hair trigger finger won’t make me safe and sound
What if you were running from a gun?
Would you turn around and help someone?
In the name of god save someone

No Time For Love Songs
03:33
|

I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
We’re starting to unravel at the seams
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
How come everybody’s gotta be so mean?
I want to sing a song
That will make you stop and think
Instead of turning a blind eye to all that’s wrong
The world doesn’t need
Another broken hearted outlaw
Belting out another whisky drinking song
I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
The polar bears are drowning in the sea
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
The price is high in the land of the free
I can’t stand to see a child
Taken from her mothers arms
Or the willingness of those that look away
Life’s not fair and just
But find a better way we must
Don’t want to hear another song about highways
I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
Stop singing bout them trains, thank you please
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
Try and find a better way for you and me
We may not see eye to eye
But I’ll love you just the same
Stick together instead of trying to place the blame
Though we may not agree
I know there’s hope for you and me
To find salvation before we all go up in flames
I love you so much
But it’s no time for love songs
The fruit ain’t gonna grow without the bees
Maybe I care too much
And this world is hard enough
We can find a better way for you and me

Wings
03:25
|

Wings are broken
How we gonna fly
In a fallen world
Where our children cry?
In a perfect world
There are no more lies
Swords turn in to sparrows
And take onto the sky
Two wings broken
We’re on the mend
You and I will fly again
Thoughts like postcards
Running through your mind
Some make you feel better
Some make you want to run and hide
Our hearts are on empty
But the lion gets his share
What we need is a promise
All we need is prayer
Two wings broken
We’re on the mend
You and I will fly again
Another day, same old page, oh let them try in vain
But you and I have so much to lose and everything to gain
