Be A lion (Written by Simon McSweeney, Andrew McSweeney, Alan Brooker and Co Tipping) Sunflowers and back roads turn in the same direction Each and every way I look I see your reflection Life is too short not to live Love is too rich not to give So don’t shy away from me You will be your very own CH Come and be a lion with me Come and be a lion and well roar at the sea you can be king of the castle and I will be your dirty rascal Come and be a lion with me The one and the truly Your blood is mine for you to be Your feet take you where Where your heart only sees You’re here and your now The invitations written Please accept this life that you have been given CH Come and be a lion with me Come and be a lion and well roar at the sea you can be king of the castle and I will be your dirty rascal Come and Take it and run Like the sun explode Laugh at the sea Just like rain drops pouring down on me So scream so loud Jump and shout Life is to live Just like love is to give CH

What Would Love Do What would jesus do? What would allah do? What would the children do? What would love do? What would my mother do? What would my father do? What would love do? What would the birds and bees do? What would the flowers and trees do? What would the ocean breeze do? What would love do? CHORUS What would I do I dont what to do Please tell me what I don’t what to do What would the healer do? What would the scientist do? What would the preacher do? What would my brother do? What would the medicine do? What would the music do? What would love do? CHORUS What would I do I dont what to do Please tell me what to do I don’t what to do What would the light and dark? What would the elders heart? What would community? What would the young and free What would silence do? What could you and me What would love do? CHORUS What would I do I dont what to do Please tell me what to do I don’t what to do, do, do What would I do I dont what to do Please tell me what to do I don’t what to do

Ease & Grace 04:22
lyrics

Ease & Grace I spoke my truth and they called me silver tongued I asked for ease and grace but the war had just begun I tried and tried To bring the dark into the light But some people only know to fight I pushed and shoved but could not break myself free The need to be loved is all I need to see But the wasted time lead us all to misery Coz some people only want the fight Calling Ease and Grace Nothing else just space Calling Ease and Grace To help me find a better place We all dragged our heels, questions followed questions Nothing was revealed and we offered no direction. Til at last it came like the sun over the rise No surprise Calling Ease and Grace Nothing else just space Calling Ease and Grace To help me find a better place I saw smoke and flames. Breathed air as hot as fire I felt my shame. The shame of my desire I cried and cried from the dark into the light Finally id given up the fight Calling Ease and Grace Nothing else just space Calling Ease and Grace To help me find a better place Calling Ease and Grace Nothing else just space Calling Ease and Grace To help me find a better place

Self Made Man 03:40
lyrics

SELF MADE MAN I was looking for someone I knew Someone to hold man hand As I paddled in to the deep with the vaguest of plans I looked for your familiar face I even called out your name As I breathed into the fear CH Your a self made man A Self made man Without any kind of plan A self made man I cant always trust my own mind and I don’t have to face my fears I can just let them dissolve Knowing they’re just not real Do everything in my own time More than I think I can As I breath into the life CH Im a self made man A Self made man Ive got a brand new plan Self made man A Self made man Self made man Ive got a brand new plan Self made man Bridge I understood to be self made as some kind of failure A disconnection from the path that I had come But ive since learned to wear it as a badge of honour Badge of honour I was looking for someone like you Someone to take a chance As we paddle in to the deep Of this modern romance I looked for your familiar face I even called out your name As we breath into the life CH Im a self made man A Self made man Ive got a brand new plan A self made man Self made man A self made man Ive got a brand new plan Self made man

Shock waves V1 No sign no sound Nothing to feel but my heart pound I didn’t now what I had found V2 The clock ticked The bell rang The pieces clicked The choir song Took off my shoes Rested my head CH I dodged a bullet Raised a hand I thought we blew it Nothing seemed to go to plan But we knew just what we had I dodged a bullet V3 So still. Alive Can this be real, how Ive survived Put on my shoes lifted my head CH I dodged a bullet Raised a hand I thought we blew it Nothing seemed to go to plan But we knew just what we had Bridge Shock waves Shock waves Shock waves Shock waves We knew just what we had CH I dodged a bullet Raised a hand I thought we blew it Nothing seemed to go to plan But we knew just what we had I dodged a bullet Raised a hand I thought we blew it Nothing seemed to go to plan But we knew just what we had I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet We knew just what we had I dodged a bullet

Things In Between 03:48
lyrics

Things in between From the tip of the mountain To the devil in the deep sea She’s all that you can count on She’s all that you believe Coz she knew what you had seen She could see the things in between She could see the things, things in between On the wall there hung your picture for all to see But no one else could tell you What the thousand words really mean Deep in those eyes Deep in those frozen thoughts All the colours All that’s caught She knew what you had seen She could see the things in between She could see the things, things in between She knew what you had been She could the things, things in between In between the horizon and water In between a mother and daughter In between the leaves and the tree She could the things, things in between She can get you off the floor And make you feel at home You never would be lonely Coz you’ll never be alone She knew what you had seen She could see the things in between She could see the things in between She knew what you had been She could see the things in between She could see the things, things in between She could see the things in between

2 fires the blue shone bright the wind was on our side as we all stood watch in turns eagles fly high in pairs until they die as we waited for 2 fires to burn yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn we plan to make it home in time to kiss our loved ones goodnight as we talked of all we’d learned we ate like kings and songs we’d song as we waited for 2 fires to burn yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn so many fires so many stories so much phrase to turn such busy lives with all that we carry the trick is to find the best wood to burn it all becomes clear as the fire gets hot and things are easier to see ashes can fly and the winds can turn as we waited for 2 fires to burn yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn solo so many fires so many stories so much phrase to turn such busy lives with all that we carry the trick is to find the best wood to burn it all becomes clear as the fire gets hot and things are easier to see ashes can fly and the winds can turn as we waited for 2 fires to burn as we waited for 2 fires to burn as we waited for 2 fires to burn
