Your Own Way (feat. Tien Nguyen) 04:06
lyrics
Heroes can fly Saviors can make wine From rain Tried on my cape Thought you would come around Some day But you can't get out of your own way Better believe it I'll be leaving You to yourself I was your crutch When you decided not to stand I kept my cool But you burned my helping hand Time is short And oh so dear I don't wanna put you down No we're not Enemies I just can't understand why You can't get out of your own way Better believe it I'll be leaving You to yourself

Every Moment 04:03
lyrics
Your sweet love Has guided me through my bad times Your sweet heart Can never leave my side It makes me wanna Soar like an eagle Go to the truth Your heart can be so soft sometimes And set apart from all the broken shackles Pulling me down And don’t you see what’s magical Cynical to believe in one self Impossible to see how This pot melts Gravity can’t keep me away from you Like the moon and the tide I’m drawing close to you Everyday Every minute Every hour Every second Every moment that I’m with you Every moment that I’m near you

Muse (feat. Amy Hannam) 03:49
lyrics
Tell me boy, what do you do Does it constitute the feeling that I’m feeling around you You got that face, I can’t even manipulate Sweet as pie, your kisses feel like sunshine, down my spine Maybe I’m not for marriage But baby what you do is savage You, you got me feeling You, you got me feeling Some kind of funny Tell me baby, how it feels My inspiration, you’re the muse for my best creation Oh boy don’t stop, I want whatever it is you’ve got You, you got me feeling You, you got me feeling Some kind of funny

Lost Control (feat. Matthew Clanton) 03:47
lyrics
One more night One more night I just need another chance I know that I Can feel the vibe All that we need is one more dance Don’t go too far my dear I’m so glad that you’re here I wanna be right where you are Ooh I can’t deny it You got power over me Can’t you see Can’t you see baby Ooh and I ain’t lying Something’s coming over me Baby, baby Ooh I lose control When you walk through that door Ooh I lose control You been on my mind Ever since that night I can’t seem to get you off my brain no So baby take your time Let’s just do this right Both of us will never be the same Do you feel what I’m feeling Or have I gone insane I just need to know you feel the same Tell me Are you falling in love Tell me are you falling in love oh baby Tell me Are you falling in love Tell me are you falling in love like I am Tell me Are you falling in love Tell me are you falling in love oh baby Oh Ooh I lose control When you walk through that door Ooh I lose control

Unexpected Love (feat. Tien Nguyen) 03:47
lyrics
Well I might'a made it all the way home In the elevator, so many times I thought What if in this mirror you appeared And I might have met somebody else If I woulda stayed just one minute more At the bar before we met On that subterranean train That's the way it goes Central city glow Never know who you might encounter Suddenly no one becomes Unexpected everything Unexpected friends Unexpected love Where we are today is just a single leaf On a myriad of branches upon a tree And we can barely see where it grows When I think about the possibilities I get tired and I just wanna find your arms And fall into the cloud of your love Sink into your warmth That's the way it goes Central city glow Never know who you might encounter Suddenly no one becomes your Unexpected everything Unexpected friends Unexpected love

Happy To Say 04:28
lyrics
My heart is dreaming Of your love so pure Marked by your words It leaves my soul secure Your love is a blessing I can’t contain And all that I do you remain the same Your love is a blessing I can’t contain And all that I do you remain the same I’m happy to say I love you I’m happy to say I care I’m happy to say I do for you I’m happy to say I love you I’m happy to say I care I’m happy to say I do for you Oh my heart is dreaming Of your love so pure Marked by your words It leaves my soul secure Your love is a blessing I can’t contain And all that I do you remain the same Your love is a blessing I can’t contain And all that I do you remain the same I’m happy to say I love you I’m happy to say I care I’m happy to say I do for you I’m happy to say I love you I’m happy to say I care I’m happy to say I do for you

All In Me (feat. Amy Hannam) 03:33
lyrics
I'm too young to lie I'm too old to try and act like nothing's wrong I know better Things ain't working like they should I thought this time I could make myself just believe I could get used To lie, to hide From myself What I really feel, what I really feel Got new friends, I'm still alone Got new house, but still no home It's all in me I need me Killing time, refused to see Searching everywhere but here Inside of me It’s all in me The sky is the same The world hasn’t changed I’m still me, in the same way Same pain, new lesson, as plain as day I don’t need a map I don’t need no one Just count on me To know what I want To know what I want Doesn’t matter where I go Can’t escape from myself Gotta do it on my own Got new friends, I'm still alone Got new house, but still no home It's all in me I need me Killing time, refused to see Searching everywhere but here Inside of me I need me Got new friends, I'm still alone Got new house, but still no home It's all in me I need me Killing time, refused to see Searching everywhere but here Inside of me Yeah…

Without You (feat. Tony Mac & Katie Burke) 04:19
lyrics
Darling I, I’m in love But the way things are going on I feel like I’m just wasting my time I know you’ve had enough It gets hard every day I swear you make this love thing feel like a climb Although you’re scared I just can’t make it without you, babe Don’t disregard me ‘Cause I’m nothing without you, babe I feel so small Yes I’ll be bigger without you, babe I have it all But it means nothing without you Baby without you No, No, I’ve had enough Please don’t pin this on me, You know I have more reasons to go You made this situation tough You’ve been messing ‘round And now I gotta stay ‘cause you’ve grown? No I’m all packed up, no turning back to you Played too many of these games with you Had my life on pause just to soar with you My efforts were futile with you. Now you’re done and crawling back to me For the first time the power lies with me Even if you cried I have made up my mind Although you’re scarred I just can’t make it without you, babe Don’t disregard me ‘Cause I’m nothing without you, babe I feel so small Yes I’ll be bigger without you, babe I have it all But it means nothing without you Baby Without You Don’t Go Baby, please don’t go Yeah, Yeah, Oh So Please, Baby tell me What I Should do To Fix What was broken by me? My love, just let me live If you love me You know, you gotta let me be. You know, we’ve been through worse Just one more chance To prove I can be a better man. My love, please let me go I do believe we’ll meet if it’s all a part of God’s plan

Through a thousand clouds, I see you My hair is pulling now I feel you Countless days of sad emotions Took over me But you came, Yeah, you’re turning it all around You’re revealing me inside out. Coz I know that without a doubt, I trust your love, It’s what I’m about. I just feel I should let it out I don’t know if I am allowed I wanna say it loud, I know you proud coz you keep Keep bringing me back to life And even when I lose track of who I am You keep me grounded. You keep bringing me back to life, Your Word is enough to move mountains in my world And I’m still grounded Said you place me Lord in a different constellation of successes I’m moving up in the world (up) Always here for me, without a doubt you shower me with blessings I lift you up up , in the world Said they tried to break me, they still try to shake me, but still I stand Never give up, up in the Word Coz everytime they try me, all they do is build me, here I am I’m getting tough, tough, through your Word Yeah, you’re turning it all around You’re revealing me inside out Coz I know that without a doubt, I trust your love, It’s what I’m about I just feel I should let it out I don’t know if I am allowed I wanna say it loud, I know you proud coz you keep Keep bringing me back to life And even when I lose track of who I am You keep me grounded. You keep bringing me back to life, Your Word is enough to move mountains in my world And I’m still grounded Living my dream coz I don’t forget who I am through Your Love Because I believe, I shed no tear, I am worthy Worthy

Glow (feat. Matthew Clanton) 05:20
lyrics
Take a step back And hear that voice inside Wide open Should be your eyes As you take a look at the sky See, everything you dream of You can make it happen. You need to take the leap and fly so high I never knew this life Would take me to such places Nobody told me I would live my life in stages That I would write it out And then destroy some pages While I am coming into my own I won’t hold back Won’t fall back You know I keep this hope inside me So I can wear this glow around me I won’t give in I’ll grow wings You know I grew this faith inside me So I could have this glow around me Don’t try To take away my smile No, don’t come close If you don’t come with the reflection of the sun ‘Cause I’m a dreamer Yes I do believe in angels And I like chasing birds for fun I said that I like chasing birds for fun When I don’t know the song, I’m gonna hum ‘Cause I’ve accepted life don’t mean no harm It’s only tryna teach us how to run I fall in love even when I’m not sprung I treat myself like I am number one I take it easy, baby I’ve already won I won’t hold back Won’t fall back. You know I keep this hope inside me So I can have this glow around me I won’t give in I’ll grow wings. You know I grew this faith inside me So I can have this glow around me You gotta live it by the torch, yeah yeah Nobody dimming out my glow Nobody standing in my way, yeah, yeah Nobody coming for my glow, yeah yeah I worked too hard to reach this flow, yeah yeah Nobody’s stealing all my glow yeah yeah Nobody standing in my way, yeah, yeah Nobody coming for my glow, yeah yeah I worked too hard to reach this flow, yeah yeah Nobody’s stealing all my glow yeah yeah You gotta live it by the torch, yeah yeah Nobody dimming out my glow Nobody standing in my way, yeah, yeah Nobody coming for my glow, yeah yeah I worked too hard to reach this flow, yeah yeah Nobody’s stealing all my glow yeah yeah You gotta live it by the torch, yeah yeah Nobody dimming out my glow
