Awakening 04:45
All is love, and all is peace The presence of hope rains down on me A new life has begun Embrace the morning sun Teach me to see the world with new eyes And the darkness fades away When the night turns into day Reach beyond the universe with new eyes I feel the love surround me And awaken my soul And all I see shines down on me The essence of life finally free ‘Cause the stars up in the night sky And the moon and sun are passing by Fill my soul with energy Surrender all my memory Release the past into the night And feel the flame inside ignite Feel the love surround me Feel the love surround me A new life has begun Embrace the morning sun Teach me to see the world with new eyes And the darkness fades away When the night turns into day Reach beyond the universe with new eyes ‘Cause the stars up in the sky are shining bright tonight I feel my flame ignite, and all I see is light ‘Cause the stars up in the sky are shining bright tonight I feel my flame ignite And awaken my soul (feel the light) (flame ignite) Feel the love surround me
2.
The moon is shining brightly And that is all I ever see ‘cause you are all I ever need The sun will never set on These hopes and dreams we build today ‘cause you are all I see now And when your light surrounds me That is all I ever see ‘cause you are all I ever need And even in the darkness I know that you are near to me ‘cause you are all I see now Don’t fade away
 ‘Cause I need to be with you tonight Need to hear your voice tonight Can’t escape this blinding light ‘Cause with you I can be free Don’t fade away
3.
The Promise 06:06
Starlight shines above And time lost to us And all the oceans around us fade away Tonight, I see it in your eyes The brightness illuminates the skies So feel the moonlight clear your mind And embrace our freedom So spread your wings and fly Beyond the mountainside Where all our dreams align And hope lies inside The future is clear The sky is shining bright Where all our dreams align You walked with me To the other side Our dreams Shine before our eyes And all the daylight beams Drops of water fall So embrace the stars that guide our way (you and I) So spread your wings tonight And all is love And all is peace And all our dreams Are beauty incarnate
4.
Presence 04:59
Far away But all the memories are near The time has come I see it clear You’ve given me life And shown me the way Though darkness may come, you bring the day When I am lost, I know you are near All I see is you In all of my dreams I am free and I’m alive As our lives are passing by All that I feel is your presence by my side You take me back towards the light Erase my fears And I will walk with you I take my steps And feel at peace Believing in what our future may hold A new day has come I try to let go The meaning of my existence is real I’ve found my way home
5.
The story’s over Can’t help but feel I’m going under Can’t help but embrace it This feeling it takes control of me Whatever happens you’ll be there Help the memories escape my mind Whatever happens I’ll escape this
 embrace this Sunlight embrace my soul Help the memories let go of me Sunlight embrace my soul Help the memories stop haunting me The story’s not over I feel that I’m starting to break free No need to embrace this I know that there will be a way out Whatever happens you’ll be there Help the memories escape my mind Whatever happens I’ll escape this
 embrace this Sunlight embrace my soul Help the memories let go of me Sunlight embrace my soul Help the memories be finally free

Dawn 05:05
The daylight fades Clouds are all above And your embrace So far away it feels I see it clear The outlines of your love So high above We spread our wings tonight The pouring rain Falls upon us now I feel it now The source of our peace And it feels so right It’s all I’ve ever known I hear your voice Calling me tonight, saying This night won’t last forever You know the dawn will come again Just put your faith in me love I’ll give you strength to brave the storm This night won’t last forever You know the dawn will come again Just put your faith in me love Together we can make it through the night I hear your voice Calling me tonight I hear your voice Keeping me alive tonight This night won’t last forever You know the dawn will come again Just put your faith in me love I’ll give you strength to brave the storm This night won’t last forever You know the dawn will come again Just put your faith in me love Together we can make it to the light
7.
You, you seem so lost inside your mind Yeah, you can’t help but wonder what’s outside The world waits for you to take your steps But it won’t wait forever Time to break out of your shell And embrace the world today You just need to find the strength inside Yeah you just need to open up your mind ‘cause the world is full of possibility For those who dare to reach out And touch the stars And I will not let you fall I will come when you call Just as long as you stay open And I will be there when you Take your steps into the world Just as long as you stay open And embrace the world today
8.
Our Destiny 03:49
You give me peace You’ve changed my mind You are the light in the darkness Our destiny is strong And dreams are everlasting You are the light in me Free from my limits I’ve found myself again You are the light that guides me
9.

 I know that nobody chooses to feel the way that you feel. I know nobody chooses to think the thoughts that run through your head at night. I know it’s tough, but I just need you to hold on. You have so much to live for, so much to do, so much to feel
 
 Reach out. Reach out towards the light. Focus in on the light, never let the light go. Never forget that the light is there. It will always be there. When you need it most, my light will be there
