1.To Plant A Seed
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
We've planted a seed an ever growing wonder to a beautiful tree,
grow
Each branch outstretched and different from the last, from the
last
Where the old have broken arms some easier than the last
The right ones have grown in to fill in the gaps
And all are equal in love and trust
And all are a part of something so much bigger than this
Through the trials our tongues are tied
To trying times, so many unsaid lines, so many unsaid lies
Our lives were over at so many moments, so many moments
And now they're all just beginning
And now they're all just beginning
Our lives were over at so many moments
I have never been so consumed and I have never loved it more
To be devoted to letting all see what it is to live in the love
of others
To live in the love of my brothers
And spilling back all that anyone has ever spilled for me
To show that to those who have never seen
Four years ago we planted a seed
Found that foundation that we need
Strived for the perfect balance
To show love and show compassion
And our vision for this world will not die when we are dead
When we are dead
And our vision for this world will not die when we are dead
When we are dead, when we are dead
My future started with the first note that I ever played
The first note that was ever sang
My future started with the first note that I ever played
The first note that was ever sang
The first note that was ever sang
The first note that was ever sang
(When we started living with purpose and writing with meaning)
The first note that was ever sang
(This is what we were made for, every day I live this future)
The first note that was ever sang
The first note that was ever sang
2.Broken Statues
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
Show me your hands, let me wash them clean
Show me your hands, let me wash them clean
We all need this to be renewed
After time and wear we're broken statues
Vines intertwined around your insides hold you down
You beg for restoration
Your best has crumbled from being so weathered, so weathered
We all deserve this to be renewed to change our ways
To change our ways, to be allowed to choose
So let me build you back up as you're carrying me too
As you're carrying me too
Show me your hands, let me wash them clean
Show me your heart and let me heal you, let me heal you
We're broken statues, vines intertwined
We're broken statues, vines intertwined
We will mend statues from the ground to the skies
We will mend statues from the ground to the skies
Show me your hands, show me your hands, let me wash them clean
Show me your heart and let me heal you, let me heal you
Show me your hands, let me wash them clean
Show me your hands, let me wash them clean
We will mend statues from the ground to the skies
We will mend statues from the ground to the skies
3.Intentions
The intent, I intend, the intentions of one will guide.
I strive to speak what I have learned and learn from those I
see.
To step out of this life is my ambition.
To speak out and show you what I have seen.
I am one voice amidst the shouts of many.
I cry for those without a voice, for those who don't know that
they have a choice.
Open your eyes and see what it means to feel compassion and live
in love.
See what it means to feel compassion.
Be my strength to tear away this blindness that makes us unable
to see what is standing beside us.
I'll be your strength, follow my lead.
I will show you what it is to love, what it means to care, how
to end this war.
For we are nothing without brotherhood, and brotherhood is
nothing without your brothers.
Stand with me and see what my eyes have seen.
Take my hand and let me show you what it is to love.
The intent, I intend, the intentions of one will guide.
For you cannot love one, until you have learned to love all.
4.Roads That Don't End And Views That Never Cease
You are so far away*
And it strains on me to hear your voice everyday.
You never know what you have until you're gone,
So when it's over and I'm on way my back home,
It feels like days before I'm next to you again.
This is how we love.
You're so far away,
And this is where I will always be,
'On the road that doesn't end'
And the views that never cease,
With a feeling bittersweet.
Counting down the days, we're counting down the days.
Beat up and broken down,
From the wear of it all,
But I can barely notice because this means too much to me.
You're so far,
So far away.
This means too much to me.
You're so far,
You're so far,
You're so far,
You're so far away.
And this is where I will always be,
On the road that doesn't end,
And the views that never cease,
With a feeling bittersweet.
I'm counting down the days,
We're counting down the days.
This is how we love.
I believe I can take this strain.
You never know what you have until you're gone,
You're far away,
But this is where I will always be.
This is where I will always be.
So when it's over,
And I'm on my way back home,
I realize I'll be gone in another day,
But twenty four hours can last me for months.
Maybe I can't take this strain.
I have thought about it every night,
(And this is where I will always be)
In different places where I rest my mind,
(On the road that doesn't end)
And when I'm waking it all remains.
You never know what you have until you're gone,
But you're are the reason for me,
That I can do this consistently.
So far away.
This is how we love.
You're so far away.
This is how we love.
5.Dreams
This is my deepest dream.
This is how I show you my love. (My love, my love)
This is him speaking to me.
This is me speaking to you. (My love, my love)
This is him speaking through me to you.
This is him speaking through me to you.
I'm here struggling with my brothers.
I'm here struggling with my brothers.
This is the most passion you will ever see.
My heart is breaking for and with you.
OH!
Because but after all of what's between.
You still chose yourself over me.
Because but after all of what's between.
You still chose yourself over me.
My heart hurts and my heart breaks.
No one belongs here.
Not here where we leave our hearts.
The illusion for your weakened love.
This is not what we were made for.
Far from the compassion we have known.
Far from the love that we have shown.
He tells me that love will endure all things.
He tells me that love will endure all things.
I know that you are forever my brother. (My brother)
Here I struggle with you my brother. (My brother)
He tells me (He tells me)
that love endures all things. (that love endures all things)
and I'll have you know
I'll have you know...
This is my
This is my deepest dream.
This is how I show you my love.
OH!
Beloved let us love one another (Beloved let us love one
another)
This is my deepest dream. (This is my deepest dream)
(Beloved let us love one another! Beloved let us love one
another!)
Beloved let us love one another
Beloved let us love one another
Beloved
Beloved
That you are forever my brother. (Let us love one another)
And here I struggle with you my brother. (Let us love one
another)
6.We Are The Reasons
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
This is a poison everyone knows
It runs through my rivers
Created and cured by the same
And it will flow
Tear through these holds
And rip away my heart
With an effort so constrained
This is the venom in my veins
This is the venom in my veins
Created and cured by the same
This is the venom in my veins
I've spoken reckless words
And I know I've built a bed of unrest
That destroys my heart once I lay my head down
Destroys the crutches that I've built
I thought they were sound
We are the reasons for health and light
For illness and weakness
It will flow from my body to yours
An infection that can't be cured
We are the reasons for health and light
For illness and weakness
We will tear through these holds
We will tear through these holds
Or we will keep them strong
We are the reasons for health and light
For illness and weakness
We will tear through these holds
Or we will keep them strong
We will keep them strong
With an effort so constrained
This is venom in my veins
Created, cured by the same
By the same
I've chosen selfless over selfishness
I've left a bed of disgust and unrest
Destroyed the crutches that I built myself
I found that they were never sound
It won't consume my heart anymore
And I know I've built a bed of peace
That restores my heart once I lay my head down
Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself
I plead to change my life, just before I dream
And wake to realize that change is inside me
We are the reasons for health and light
For illness and weakness
We will tear through these holds
We will tear through these holds
Or we will keep them strong
We are the reasons for health and light
7.Beliefs
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
What is this whispered thief?
Is it a lie? Is it a lie?
Does fabrication begin at belief?
Who steals my years to keep all to themselves?
Is it only just the ground we stand open?
Is it only just the ground we stand upon?
Is it only just the ground we stand upon?
I've asked you, yet heard no reply
Is it only just the ground we stand upon?
Will I just soak into this earth when I die?
Have I fallen before I finished?
Who answers my questions when ears do not listen?
When silence speaks in volumes.
I've have heard no reply, heard no reply
This doubt that clouds what I perceive as truth
The unnerving sense that there is nothing left
An illogical view where purpose is gone
Who wills these groundless conceptions?
Find faith in life, in whatever will keep you breathing
Find faith in life, in whatever will keep you believing
Whatever will keep you believing
That we, we are not meaningless
That we, we are not meaningless
Retain what you have learned
Because love is an endless wonder
It's an never ending knowledge
This is our only solution
I believe in me, I believe in you
And I believe that we are not meaningless
In whatever will keep you believing we are not meaningless
In whatever will keep you believing we are not meaningless
I believe in me, I believe in you
And I believe that we are not meaningless
8.I Will Not Reap Destruction
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
Mindless
Mindless, this mindless flesh that devours
It keeps me bound at the bottom
And to live in this flesh, and to live in this flesh
Will keep me bound by myself
Hollowed out your heart to live this way
Was it that hard to let love fade?
Lashing out, yet reserved
The mindless are easily lured in pain and perverse
Lured to this dream, alluring to the skies
To live among them and to never die, never die
The mindless are easily lured
The mindless are easily lured, easily lured
Lured to this dream, alluring to the skies
To live among them and to never die, never die, never die
To be worth more, though we are made the same
To attain love by rule rather than by choice
Mindless, this mindless flesh that devours
It keeps me bound at the bottom
And to live in this flesh
Will keep me bound by myself
So fill your heart to live in love
Lock arms with your brothers
Break the binds of this flesh
This mindless flesh that devours
This mindless flesh, let us not become conceited
I will not reap destruction but life instead, but life instead
Lured to this dream, alluring to the skies
To live among them and to never die, never die, never die
To be worth more, though we are made the same
To attain love by rule rather than by choice
9.Searching, Seeking, Reaching, Always
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
I always knew I'd never reach perfection
And if I ever did then I wasn't trying hard enough
'Cause there is always something more to reach for
And every end is just the start to something else
I think that if we ever stopped seeking out
What it is that keeps us growing
Then we'll never stop searching for the piece
The heart that will keep us loving
I'm always searching for, I'm always searching
This path's not easy to walk upon
I'm always seeking, knowing that I'm eager to carry on
I'm searching, seeking, reaching for something more
I'll be better than before, reaching for something more
So if we keep seeking out what is right
Moving on after being set back
Searching out what keeps us strong, searching out
And always building up the things that we lack
This path we choose is not the easiest to walk upon
And knowing that I am more eager to continue on
Because I know that when I reach the end
I'll be better than before
Reaching for something more, I'm always searching
I'm always searching, I'm always searching
Reaching for something more, I'm always searching
This path's not easy to walk upon
I'm always seeking, knowing that I'm eager to carry on
I'm searching, seeking, reaching for something more
I'll be better than before, reaching for something more
Reaching for something more
10.An Ever-Growing Wonder
作詞:Eric Choi, Lou Cotton, Andrew Glass, Joshua Moore, Kyle
Pavone, David Stephens
I am the man in the mirror
My reflection I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see
False fault or a masterpiece?
But a masterpiece starts with a single stroke
And empires start in an open field
A masterpiece starts with a single stroke
But a masterpiece starts with a single stroke
If we could all be steadfast suddenly
Then we'd never build a life worth living
If we could all be steadfast suddenly
Then we'd never build a life worth living
So let us restore each other
So let us restore each other
I am the man in the mirror
My reflection I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see
False fault or a masterpiece?
I am the man in the mirror, man in the mirror
I am the man in the mirror, man in the mirror
The mirror, the mirror
So let us restore each other not with haste but gently
For an empty cup cannot fill another
An empty cup can't fill another
A blank canvas will later be priceless
And the love that we build will be endless
Though we all stumble, we will not fall
I am the man in the mirror
My reflection I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see
False fault or a masterpiece?
We will build masterpieces out of these faults
We will build
We will build masterpieces out of these faults
We will build
So when I stare back into my own eyes
I try to peer past and try to understand
My imperfections compose my composure
And I can live with them and you will live by me
So let us restore each other not with haste but gently
For an empty cup, an empty cup cannot fill another
