Begin Again

One little click, a tock and a tick
A whir and a spin and we begin again
We begin again…
Every now and then I like to be alone
With my thoughts as my company
They tell me where I want to go
Every now and then I feel overworked
And I notice the time slipping from my fingers
It goes so fast
It never seems to last very long
We begin again…
The buds of spring
Never here for long
A funny thing
They’re always moving on
We stay here
Why don’t we begin again
One little click, a tock and a tick
A whir and a spin and we begin again
Time is running out and I have lots to do
Places I want to see
Everything can mean something to me
Sometimes I believe I could just stop the clocks
And revel in all the beauty of the moment
I’d work it out
But I’d never really understand
One little click, a tock and a tick
A whir and a spin and we begin again

Stars Above Our Eyes

Somewhere I see I glimmer of hope
From one who’s in despair
But who am I to see such things
Who am I to care
I lead a life of freedom
One of joy and love
How do I connect with them
Do I look to help from above
The sun will set and night will fall
We must recognise
Now we see the same as them
The stars above our eyes
The single tear drops from her eye
A mother racked with grief
She looks to help from all around
But still there’s no relief
How am I to help her
When I know not her name
Who do I ask to save her soul
Who am I to blame
People trapped behind law’s iron bars
Cast a thought their way
Without a place in freedom’s heart
What can they do all day
I look up to the sky
And breathe in the country air
If I breathe out and you breathe in
Will you receive my prayer
And when we think about it
It all seems wrong
Why can’t we get along
War and conflict
Disputes and fights
We all have hope
That someday we’ll get it right

Wild Mountain Thyme
04:46

O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go
Chorus:
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And round it I will pile
All the wild flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go
(chorus)
I will range through the wilds
And the deep glen so dreamy
And return with their spoils
Tae the bower of my dearie
Will ye go, lassie, go
(chorus)
If my true love she'll not come
Then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go
(chorus)

You (Demo)

I have time for you
And I care for you
I don’t like to see you sad
When I’m lonely
You’re the only
One with the words that can make me feel whole again
Happiness surrounds you like the sun on a warm winters day
Listen carefully
And i’m sure you’ll see
Gratitude for the many things you do
And maybe
You don’t like me saying
These words that seem so futile to you
I just need to let you know that this is the way I feel
Stand up, be proud
The whole world’s behind you now
Stand up, be loud
Take a bow
