shadows & light
04:26

Verse 1/Chorus:
Shadows and light
Running in the night
Knowing what our eyes can see
It’s a mystery
Verse 2:
Things go in the night
(It's) Something scary, right?
Can I see what’s up ahead ...
Or just follow the light?
Bridge:
Can’t you see with you own eyes...
You know that I'm hanging on?
Don’t you even know or care where you’ve been?
Can’t you believe in something you cannot see?
Do you know beyond a shadow of doubt?
Repeat Chorus
Solo
Repeat Bridge
Verse 3:
A new bird in flight;
(Into the) scenic roaring sky;
The light gets brighter as the day turns to moonlight
Verse 4:
Shadows of the night;
Can reflect our sight;
Obscuring the clouds of our minds
at times, seems so bright;
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus

There is hope, when all is hazy;

Been going through a conflict;
Hopin’ to work and make amends?;
Seeing eye to eye at the table; past odds ends

When all seems lost below (the) sky;
Been carrying a lot of baggage;
(And) wonder why?

Chorus:
How Long, how long, how long must I wait;
How Long, how long, how long must I wait
V1:
There was a prince, given power to lead;
he was given keys to the city;
We couldn’t sing or play for the King;
Quite frustrated we sat waiting;
Repeat Chorus
V2:
The years went by;
My friends left rather sad;
They missed out and went (on) to other things;
Left alone, I sought some advice;
Thought it was right to stand up for them
Repeat Chorus
V3:
(But) I had a dream, someday to sing;
To share my gift given by the King;
I wouldn’t waste or even hesitate;
I found another way to reach out
Repeat Chorus
Solo
V4:
How do you love, those that don’t want to love?
How do you reach out and keep doing it?
There are some days, I (just) don’t want to pray;
How long must we endure it?

king of me

I used to live in a dream;
I used to laugh at it all;
I used to hide in my room;

I’d wait around for Your call;
I’d sleep all day; some, not at all;
I’d hear Your voice, but not reply;
I was just drifting along, wasting time

The way You light, the way You Shine
I wanna know You’re here all the time;
I’ll live for You; as You live in me
Chorus:
I need to know, just who is the king of me
Solo verse / Repeat Bridge / Repeat Chorus

I’m here for you, for you today;
I’m here to laugh and here to play;

victory

Verse 1:
Life is a mystery;
Sometimes you cannot see …
the road up ahead;
A blind curve, you skip a beat;
Some days you cannot breathe;
...Hold on to every word;

Embrace your hopes & dreams;
Look beyond what you see;
There’s treasure before your eyes;
Blind men sometimes can see;
Know yourself, what you believe;
You’ll outshine all your past

You can call me anytime;
you can call me anytime;
We will Live in victory;
We will Live in victory

mailbox money

Verse 1:
I was working on a degree in film composition;
Scoring some movies & doing television;
Learning lots of music in styles I never knew;
If counting chord charts was considered a clue
Verse 2:
I got hired to make up cool guitar parts;
(But) it got rather difficult and seemed really dark;
It’s definitely material that makes you feel pressure;
Especially in the studio and that’s a lesson
Chorus:
Got Mailbox money;
Oh, believe me honey;
Got Mailbox Money;
It’s residual honey
Verse 3:
If you can read real well then you’ll make some green;
And believe me baby it’s really steady green;
There’s a handful of players all across the scene;
Who are workin’ night and day;
Just to make it on the screen
Repeat Chorus
Solo # 1 (Guitar)
Repeat Chorus
Solo # 2 (Keys)
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4:
The most profound advice ever given to me;
It must have been about the age of oh, 18;
The Engineer said, “Son, You gotta take the train,
You’d better have a ticket just to learn to play the game"
Verse 5:
Studio A is where the real deal goes down;
Get your experience from the highs & lows around;
I learned my instrument; always playing on my game;
Got my gear together and kept it well maintained

So far away, not so far away
