On My Own  – Copyright 2006
Sawyer (SOCAN)

Verse
I'm a passenger on life's train
peering through this empty window
thinking about all my shame
Tonight, I'm not sleeping anymore
I’m glad that you’re gone
taking direction all alone

Chorus

Verse 2
can’t remember the last time
when I felt this lonely,
I see your face as smoke blows by
movin' so slowly into my dreams
I’m losing control
and its left me far behind, oh yeah

Chorus

Alone in this world, all on my own
I’m Traveling Rusty rails to find Home
You were that station in my life
flashing past me now that I’m
on my own

Bridge
          
through the mountains        
ghostly towns  
far away from you
I wake to that whistling sound
Hoping today I'll be somewhere new





Blind –  Copyright 2006
Sawyer/Cook (SOCAN)

Verse 1
Woke up realizing
You’ve been on my mind
I've stood still in silence
For all my life
How could I miss you
Why did I wait to follow through
Its time to take fate in my hands

Chorus
Baby, I've been blind
For the First time
I have opened my eyes
Baby, I've been blind
You're everything I ever
Wanted to find

Verse 2
Stronger when daybreaks
I’ll live no more lies
I just want a moment beside you
To feel another sunrise
I won’t let this chance pass by
Colours changed in me from black to white
This time I know to follow the signs

Chorus

Bridge
Now that I see you
Oh, I'm calling your name
I'll never leave you ... behind




Save His World – Copyright 2006
Sawyer/Cook (SOCAN)

Verse 1:
A young child struggles to grow old
Only suffering while his story unfolds
A life of Chillin Hospital beds
Testing his will with all these meds

Pre-Chorus:
Look In his eyes
And admire his soul
Wishing one day
He’ll make it on his Own

Chorus:
What would it take to Save his world?
He’s Fighting for only a little hope
What would it take to Save his world?
If only I Knew I wish I could
Save his world, Save his world

Verse 2:
He watches the game from the side
Sits alone and wonders why
His body just won’t read the signs
Sent down from his Curious mind






Next To You- Copyright 2006
Sawyer  (SOCAN)

Verse 1
Watching the clouds
Separate in your eyes
Hiding these tears
Under your newest disguise

All their promises
Wilting your mind
Daffodils once moved you
Now fading in time

Pre- Chorus
Please open your life to me
I wanna change the world for you to see


Chorus
I Need you now, let the past go
Want you more then you'll ever know
Destined to always be right next to you
I hope today, you'll break away
So I can forever stay right
Next To You
I Wanna be Next To You

Verse 2
I see your face
When I lay in my bed
Wake up with you still
Spinning in my head

Wondering how you'll
Trust again
When pain stained
You to defend





Her Way - Copyright 2006
Sawyer/Jamieson (SOCAN)

Verse 1
When she was 17
They did all they could do
Spent the days praying that
She would make it through
I remember those Friday nights
on the swings in the park
we'd talk and all the while
she landed in my heart

Chorus
Why did things never go her way
Sorrow tried to follow her and keep her in the rain
I stayed by her side all the way
We shared the best moments
Together each day
Trying to make it go her way

Verse 2
We became closer
Then ever at 22
She sat me down that day
To tell me the news'
I couldn't believe the words,
Just holding back all my tears
The memories come and go
Left me wondering all these years

Bridge
Possessions mean nothing to me
Love of each other
Is all we need


Verse 3
Now and then I sit alone after dark
I know she's safe above
Her voice echoes in my heart





Last Goodbye  –  Copyright 2006
Sawyer/Jamieson (SOCAN)

Verse 1
How could I just pass you by
Left you standing alone that day
I’d usually stop so we could talk
Instead I just kept on my way

That was last time I ever saw you
You left in your sleep that night
I returned early in the morning
But you were right out of my sight


Chorus

Just wanted to give you
One More Last goodbye
Until I find you, In my Next life
One More Last goodbye
I’ll listen in the Wind, waiting for your reply

Verse 2

I feel you looking down on me
From Every cloud that I chase
Search the sky I’m wondering if
You’ll be back in this place
