You've not seen enough in your life Something's too familiar One adventure with the great outside You've not seen enough in your life So much more that you could believe in See how new ambition inspires every day Beyond these walls you know so very well You've not seen enough in your life Words without warning on the tip of the tongue Forming opinions yet to be won You missed your goals by more than a mile And still there is a reason to Lay down by the shoreline There's never been a problem 'til now At least you had the option to run Storm or sunshine both have their good side You've not seen enough in your life Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

Flowing gently like the river I crave High up the mountain touching a clear new sky If I knew what I'm now so assured I'd live my time over I could really Into temptation Free from the ground I stand on Free from my own true reflection Forever weightless a shock for my breathing High as I am can't tell if it's left or right The burning sun dissolves the dawn while I'm falling Part of my journey gone cos I'm losing height Into temptation Free from the ground I stand on Free from my own true reflection Always one to take the easy way out Make a suggestion if there's ever a doubt No sense have I of what's yet to come Have objectives that can still be undone See and believe in this flickering light Push comes to shove when you can't get it right Showing signs the tension is here I can pull through this watching every step of the way Foreign ground becomes nearer and nearer I will guide to this I'll never feel the same today Into temptation Free from the ground I stand on Free from my own true reflection Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

With each full moon that rises Someone questions sanity In this mirror of surprises What is left for you to be Na na na na Did you really notice What a tangled web you'd spun After many years a life half spent Now you wonder where it's gone Na na na na Take it as it comes I wish for greater times to last Erasing one by one The moments go so fast The moments go so fast Holding my hands up out to the sky So far it consumes me I'll never know why No one else can see me I hope someone can tell me Why the moments go so fast Holding my hands up out to the sky So far it consumes me I'll never know why Did I really hide myself away Did I ever try to love each day Why can't I just stay and listen Learn and love and never die Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

How strange this can be I could tell by the people and places When I was a child I would know by the look on their faces I've been here before I even remember the names of those I recognise Many others want to disagree I never noticed Forced to give what's inside of me I never noticed I behave like I'm trying to reach you A natural sign there is something else I can relate to Come in from the cold I can even remember your name You're not hard to recognise Many others want to disagree I never noticed Forced to give what's inside of me I never noticed Growing together Feed from energy Many others want to disagree I never noticed Forced to give what's inside of me I never noticed I try reinvent myself again letting go of the safety line Going back is only a state of mind I never noticed Growing together Feed from energy Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

If you're sinking and you're miles away from the shore If you're thinking that you can't control this no more Help yourself now to a brand new solution For awhile now this will contain the confusion If you can let if be known just how strong The feelings have grown from deep inside Remember when the setting sun goes down The only one you need to shelter from You are your own worst enemy Yourself alone against freedom and loyalty Screaming in a voice that will never be heard And believing everything without hearing a word Faceless without a hint of emotion Or faithless without prayer or devotion If you can let it be known just how strong The feelings have grown from deep inside Remember when the setting sun goes down The only one you need to shelter from You are your own worst enemy Yourself alone against freedom and loyalty Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler
7.
Take these words from my mouth The life from my soul Just leave me the air that I'm breathing I've found a place in your mind That no one will find I'll talk to myself while you're preaching You, a self confessed god From somewhere above I'll wait for your stories to end in a lie Does this make you feel stronger to offer yourself Sing your praises as lasting as waves on the sand Maybe it's true or a possible fake Each time that someone responds to your call For crying out loud Release to the crowd This vision of glory didn't show at all Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

I can stay all of the night Wondering where these thoughts may take me I will think all that I want Knowing how this might affect me How can I just lie down and sleep Where there's so much to know and to say How can I hide from it all with a life time of war on it's way How can I remain without thought When all that they want is so near I can try to stay shy of my anger And all that I'm holding so dear What kind of reason can you give to me Taking all this time to fight those who do not see A world in the same light as you always will Nothing else surprises me and time never heals What kind of future can we hope to share With acts of inhumanity thriving everywhere What's your faith bring you Clutching as one to some angel of hope Surely just as random as a starsign Changing direction there's far too much rope How can I lie down and sleep When there's so much to know and to say What kind of reason can you to me What kind of future can we hope to share What kind of reason can you give to me Taking this time to fight those who don't see Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

My sympathetic eyes See colour, creed and race so broken Touched by innocence Gracious words not often spoken Footprints in the dust lead to some without compassion Who can we be sure of No one could be like you And steal these scenes from life Pushing a point of view the world will overwind All that I possess, all I ever owned Anything I wished for and everyone I've known We're in a place of madness and facing great divides Who can we be sure of No one could be like you And steal these scenes from life Pushing a point of view the world will overwind Conscience redefined Credence by oppression Obsessed to have us fall Or live with their intentions I thought I knew it all We face such great divides Who can we be sure of No one could be like you And steal these scenes from life Pushing a point of view the world will overwind Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler

What was I thinking of? Virtue or perception Tarnished by a selfish greed Where was I running to? contentment or salvation Tearing from the hand that feeds To this I am resigned While searching for perfection Although it never occurred I'm lost without intent Every single day I've spent here In judgement, resolutions, some I never decided upon Though the water tastes strangely sweet It does not help to heal the wounds But feeds the grass beneath my feet To this I am resigned While searching for perfection Although it never occurred I'm lost without intent Walk through open doors Leave or cast aside The flame is burning out What was I thinking of? Compassion or rejection Broken by my selfish greed I won't miss this 'till it's gone Assurance and affection There's more to you than I need To this I am resigned While searching for perfection although it never occurred I'm lost without intent Walk through open doors Leave or cast aside The flame is burning out Music by Jadis Lyrics by Gary Chandler
