Lyrics:

Walking toward the changing blue
Every step feels a little bit better
Sun and moon are both in view
Feel the light left sink in through my skin

In the distance there's a radio
Someone's listening as they're washing the dishes
Singing sounds that I've never known
Feel the love seep in through all my ears

I can't stop smiling
The love I've been searching for's
Alive and
It's been here all the time
And inside I've
Still got some work to do
But right now it's
Time for in with the new

Silhouettes of our shifting earth
See the sun floating past the horizon
Each breath is a new rebirth
Feel my lungs fill up with life and light

And I thought I was alone before
But now I know I'll never be
All this time love's been here at my door
And I held the key

Sounds of twilight settling in
Turn back towards the place I'll rest my head tonight
Close my eyes, I know I'll dream
Of a place where love pours down like rain

I can't stop smiling
The love I've been searching for's
Alive and
It's been here all the time
And inside I've
Still got some work to do
But right now it's
Time for in with the new

In With The New

"Love isn't something you find
 Love finds you"    -Unknown

I run and i hide
but i can't lose You

on a voyage for time
but all my lefts aint right
clouds fog my sight
and I'm a one man crew

so i drop anchor in Your shadow
Your presence is my present, my treasure
so much better than silver or gold 

So let the warmth of Your arms 
melt my heart of stone
blow the dust from my eyes
bring to life what has died
and lead me home

i got questions on my mind
what will life come to
will i remain true
will i stay steady doing what you called me to do

will i love, will i learn
will i be kind, will I yearn for You
and only You

so i drop anchor in Your shadow
Your presence is my present, my treasure
so much better than silver or gold 
and i know i cant do this on my own
im lost at sea
if my hand i don't let You hold

I sail away, You remain
always faithful, never change
tides high, pains deep
even still my soul You keep
put me back on the rock when i lose my feet

when i was bout to drown
You came down, layed down Your crown
You gave your life to save me 

So let the warmth of Your arms 
melt my heart my stone
blow the dust from my eyes
bring to life what has died
and lead me home

be my compass, be my light
be my guide, be my sight
when im lost in Your sea, im satisfied

be my mouth, be my feet
when im lost in Your sea, im completely satisfied

Anchor

our darkness is important, to be treated with respect
for us to be reborn, then we must also honor death
only illusion keeps us seperate, moon in east and sun in west
soon we'll leave these bodies, releasing all that we thought we possessed

letting go, letting go
a return to what the soul already knows

through the softened edge of sorrow, though the patches, frays, and pulls
with life seeping through the cracks of every fracture, every hole
through what loves and leaves us, though we grieve it, mystery calls us close
finding solace in these bodies, how our heartbeat guides us home

letting go, letting go
learning to embrace the ebb and flow

oh, great spirit
formless dancer
teach us to trust
love beyond fear
oh, i hear your call

through dark and light, our shadows can remind us we're alive
yet our mind's eye takes to worry when the sunset's done each night
and just as fire tears through treetops, burning each down to the bone
after that tragedy, our sacred earth still remembers how to grow

letting go, letting go
strip the layers so the spirit shows

  Last Train Home 
Music by Pat Metheny & lyrics by Dave Olsen
 
 
Now the day is just about done
Don’t see the end of what I’ve begun
My thoughts are full of former dreams
It seems like years have flown away
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Travelled over countless roads
And never stopped to lighten my load
The truth is always further on
Much further on inside myself
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Bridge:
Far off, the distant sound
A sound so familiar
It echoes through my soul
Calling me away
 
In my dream I am on that train
I am speeding back towards home again
The road I took is not yet through
I wish I knew where it will end
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home

Last Train Home - Featuring Jillian Mendez vocals (music by Pat Metheny; words by Dave Olsen)

Our darkness is important, to be treated with respect
For us to be reborn, then we must also honor death
Only illusion keeps us separate, moon in east and sun in west
Soon we'll leave these bodies, releasing all that we thought we possessed

Letting go, letting go
A return to what the soul already knows

Through the softened edge of sorrow, though the patches, frays, and pulls
With life seeping through the cracks of every fracture, every hole
Through what loves and leaves us, though we grieve it, mystery calls us close
Finding solace in these bodies, how our heartbeat guides us home

Letting go, letting go
Learning to embrace the ebb and flow

Oh, great spirit
Formless dancer
Teach us to trust
Love beyond fear
Oh, i hear your call

Through dark and light, our shadows can remind us we're alive
Yet our mind's eye takes to worry when the sunset's done each night
And just as fire tears through treetops, burning each down to the bone
