Untrace Your Steps


Untrace your steps
Set down the heavy load
Leave it here, with me now
And I will unwind
The truth to you

Under the lampost, in the shade of the church
Lika a Madonna lost in a dark room
A halo of light falling on your thoughts
Listened to by the quiet stone steps
And echoing in your silent prayer vigil

Do not follow those old ghosts
That keep their cold grip
A mist rising to haunt you
Untrace your steps
Into the new day

Across a crowd, a face you recognised once
Like a mirage burning into the heat of the day
Lost in a maze of bright connections
The call that beats a drum in your blood
Freedom running through the veins

Untrace your steps
And steer a new course
Under the bright star of hope
And you will find
Your heart already knows the way

Pay it Forward


If I'm gonna spend my money today
It's gonna be to make something stay
Not on baubles, not on gold
But something better in this world

You wanna stay around that's fine by me
But I'm done playing like it's all for free

Pay it forward

Lark


I won't trade on pretty easy
And I don't see why I should
Because this world is based on ugly
And it never balances the books

And for every coin you take you'll see
Those coins are never debt free
Just a token for a way to be
Enslaved by a society

It's pretty clear to me
That I prefer to be free

I may never be a millionaire
But frankly dear, I just don't care
I'll run a comb through my hair
And thank the stars I'm me

Because once the pity party's done
The road back is a gruelling one
And it's pretty clear to me
That I prefer to be free

After all your deals and dollar runs
After the highs and lows so hard won
Have you anything for a kingdom come
Or are you still on your knees

And for every coin you take you'll see
Those coins are never debt free
Just a token for a way to be
Enslaved by a society

A lark is singing in the sky
It sings the loudest way up high
And it's pretty clear to me
That it prefers to be free

I may never be a millionaire
But frankly dear, I just don't care
I'll run a comb through my hair
And thank the stars I'm me

Because
It's pretty clear to me
That I prefer to be free
