Colors Of The World 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Sons and daughters look up and know 
Light up your faces and let them glow 
And you can feel the colors of the world Just like a book you'll open wide
 Inside yourself you’ll see the skies 
You'll become a color of the world 

 Please be kind
 Don't burn your eyes
 On the sun that shines on us
 Take the time
 And learn to fly
 And then go, go, go

 All that comes and all that goes 
Must see it soar and then explode
 And you will bleed The colors of the world
 Hand in hand Or back to back 
We're stuck together Fact is fact 
And all make up the colors of the world 

Please be wise
 Don't turn your eyes
 From the sun that shines on us
 Take your time
 You'll need the guide 
And then go, go, go

Love At First Sight (album outtake) 02:56
lyrics
buy track
This time I'm really turned around My mind keeps heading Where it don't belong And I know that You live only once Never look back Never have enough Think I'm crazy Just my style And it's not my fault It's everything I want I go crazy for you And it's not my fault It's just a natural pull We'd be amazing It's true Cause it's love at first sight This time The world's turned around My eyes connecting And they won't come off

I get thin When I'm in this place I get tired When the wheels need pace Now I gotta wait until the slide comes Gotta wait until the slide comes Near to the moment when I should be clear Oh how I waited for the clouds to break Now I gotta wait until the slide comes Gotta wait until the slide comes Raging Lifting the spell and the locks are off Moving along in the sidewalks Want to be there when the slide comes Would you be near If I changed my face Reach for the ruler When I'm in disgrace Now I gotta rattle 'til the slide comes I'm gonna yell 'til the slide comes Near to me closer As I run the race Oh how I've waited for the clouds to break Now I've gotta wait until the slide comes Racing Picking me up When the stops on Moving again On the tightrope

I hold you In this little car No one's around We've got a running start Hear the alarms Now run for shelter Don't look back Their catching up on us now Don't pull over There's nothing we can't do (We're just breaking through) Cause we run here (Cause we're here now) Under the stars Can't stop us now Never slowing down Cause we're here now This little car No surrender And how far We can never know Hear the alarms Break through the colors of the world Outside the colors of our world No stopping They can't catch us now

I’m headed for no place Thinking of no plans at all Packing a suitcase And I’ll be prepared You can be sure Just tell me the where I'm going I’m going to no place Taking a new glance around Cutting the old chains And I am prepared You can be sure Just tell me the where I'm going Get out of your head We're waiting for you We're here in no place Take me to no place I’ll be in no place Thinking of you Thinking of you
