Ever enlivened - with possibility Endlessly furnished - with passion and play Edged with distinction - and her blood runs free Moonlight on her cheeks - tears of discovery Here she comes again, for the first time Crossing that bridge again, for the first time She's on fire again, for the first time At home in my arms again, Like the first time We're weaving a basket - with possibility We're making a home - for passion and play We're coming together - forever in a day We're walking on the moon - And we’re walking anyway Here we go again, for the first time We're crossing that bridge again, for the first time We're on fire again, for the first time Freshly squeezed again, Like the first time Ever a lover - since the beginning She makes time - for passion and play She follows me home and slides me some breakfast And looking in her eyes I’m on my way Here we go again, for the first time We're crossing that bridge again, for the first time We're on fire again, for the first time Arm in arm in arm again, just like the first time

The Next Man 03:37
The Next Man: Right under my nose The power was surging The movement was building And gathering steam It swept me away And I am still sailing On water on fire Engulfed by the dream (Chorus) Our hands are strong Our fears are few Our hearts are open And our sprits are new And we thank those before us For standing and waiting As we pass the gift To the next man How was it so hidden? How did I escape? How could I not notice, The sound of the sea? My lifeboat was sinking My freedom was failing My fountain was frozen When you came to me (Chorus) Now that I’m on board My service is clear My witness of oneness is welcomed by all My mission is moving My madness is matched And passed by my will To break the next fall (Chorus)

With this bond oh so real I can see and I can feel How your love... With this kiss that we share To the heavens I declare That your love... All my life I've been searching for the truth I'm a man who knows life was made for two And I want, nothing less than all of you In my arms With your hand wrapped in mine I can peak into the divine And your love... As the seasons come and go Bringing sunshine rain and snow Your love... All my life... Now are hearts fire as one I've done all that must be done And I've only just begun, coming home With this touch brave and new We are one where we were two And your love is guiding me through to my home

Two of a kind, since forever You keep on keepin' on, like a pair of dice Packin' it in, till the sun sets Listening to your hearts, and growing ever She's a little bit younger Gotta face like an angel Raised up in California Not too bad off He's a handsome devil Got a clef in his chin No one knows where he's been He did a lot of life solo Friends of friends for a while And occupado con amigos otros You didn't see it comin' from the start You bumped along and didn't notice Chorus He took a risk, she wasn't sure You weren't ready for what was coming Nothing prepared you for, the rest of your lives Wedding bells rang, on the west coast Sand between your toes. Nobody knew what you'd do A trip to Europe and those voice were calling Snoopy and orange trees welcomed all three Your hands got full late in the sixties The life you lived - Gone forever in a cloud of kids The ice cream man - and the broker The court reporter, with your carbon copies Drawing houses and selling vacuums Moving up she's a paralegal Screeching tires and AYSO Goodbye Malibu - Goodbye padres You took a leap of faith and We ended up in a fruit basket One afternoon - came a paper Which changed the context Of your careers and changed forever Your outlook on the future In the church of skiing You were the pastors Showing your sons a new set of masters Where fun and recreation were at the top of the world. Go on guy. Go on gal. Here’s to you, and here’s to now Tomorrow will tell, of two lives lived well Go on honey. Go on babe. You got your mountains and I’ve got my cave Two of a kind, since forever yeah Go on Stefan. Go on Steve. You got your Lakers, and I’ve got my trees Two of a kind, since forever yeah Go on mom. Go on dad. You’re the best parents that we’ve ever had Two of a kind, since forever yeah Go on lovers. Go on world. Go on guys. Go on girls. Whether it’s straight or whether it curls - Two of a Kind!

Up on the mountain top Top of the waterfall Top of the universe Just me and the sun Out in the big wide blue Nothing but earth and sky Endlessly riding high Just me and the sun Me and the sun, like never before Like never again, never-ending Me and the sun, like never before Like fire and flames, like love Miles from the world below The edge of where we don't know Where only the lovers go Just me and the sun Up on the mountain top Top of the waterfall Top of the universe Just me and the sun The light on the walls has a way of showing me Wherever I am is where I'm supposed to be.

The River 07:37
Some people say it’s simple, in this life to make a splash Follow your bliss, your passion, your dreams, dive in deep and be the stream Whatever happens these brilliant ones say is what is meant to be I’ve got no use for ideas like that,  that leave me broke and alone but free I don’t trust the river, I just know I’m gonna drown My dreams are full of danger, I’ve got to shoot them down Every day I’m waiting by the banks with my fears and doubts I don’t trust The River, guess I’ll be sitting this float out. I’ve had a look at the rapids, I’ve seen the edge of the falls, Why would I listen to anyone who tells me - to heed The River’s calls? The river asks me to sing out loud and share myself with the world What kind of crap is that I say? They’ll laugh and smirk and sail away. I don’t trust The River, I just know I’m gonna drown My dreams are full of danger, I’ve got to shoot them down Every day I’m waiting by the banks with my fears and doubts I’d jump in with those carefree fools, but it’s simply not safe to go out. I’ve seen so many struggling to swim, in the currents so swift so strong Lost in the waves then crashed on the rocks, and swept helplessly along Towards the endless sea they flail, gasping and risking it all I’ve got more sense than that I’ll keep my life nice and safe and small. Bridge: I didn’t get what I needed, to be a risk taking man I never learned the ropes of my ship to get too far from land And while I hope for a life of true freedom,  to come my way I don’t hold my breath for fear that I might not like that day. Chorus: I don't trust…. My backup plan is simple, I use it every day Stay in the comfort of what I know and everything will be OK. I do what I am expected to do, I keep myself in line I’ve never fallen too far so far and everything’s going just fine. My tears they try to trick me, into thinking that I’ve got a chance To live a life of passion, to join into that golden dance I start to get excited, about a future that’s bright and bold The I come to my senses and get back into the fold.

We left our lives But who's to blame? We're just two people Not enough and too much the same We made our vows And we forgot what we said We used to live in one house We used to sleep in one bed We lost our way on the way to forever We tried so hard and now we're far apart We both thought time would bring us sunny weather Now we're shooting the moon with a pair of broken hearts Tears on my pillow And just as cliché as it seems My nights are empty Until I'm joined in my dreams Now I'm up and I'm down Like the tides of a raging sea I'm breaking a twenty-year habit Of together, you and me We lost our way on the way to forever We tried so hard and now we're far apart We both thought time would bring us sunny weather Now we're shooting the moon with a pair of broken hearts
8.
As we move through this universe Everybody longs to be free Like the wings of an astronaut Washed ashore at Waikiki Time will tell if we hit the mark Or if we burn up in the atmosphere Either way, we've done our duty right We wake up and say goodnight We merge into the light We live forever and speak without spite Long ago there lived a wise man He was wiser than most anyone His travels took him all around the world He shed his clothes in the noonday sun He liked the equatorial latitudes The Arctic regions never drew him near His tan was really quite phenomenal But he never let it go to his head He'd rather think about life instead Beyond perfection of carressing winds The frightening hand of fate is calling you There lies a banished individual Whose life has left a mark forever untrue And colors of the evening hide it not And scents of jasmine cannot clear the air When troubles reep their changing attitudes And lovely ladies start to stare at dudes That's when I find myself in cosmic moods Which take me back to morning interludes.
9.
I changed my mind I changed my socks I changed my life From sucks to rocks I changed my outlook I changed my vision I changed my perception When I exploded in passion I exploded in passion It's all over the place It's in my heart And it's on my face I exploded in passion And you can too Reach down in the darkness And discover you. I changed my dreams I changed my desires I changed my expectations I set 'em on fire I changed my name I changed my voice I changed my skin I made a powerful choice (Chorus) The golden you.
