LYRICS
VERSE1
Wind fills the air.
Which way will it blow?
Decisions to make.
Which way should I go?
PRE-CHORUS1
Making a choice.
What should I chose?
Perhaps I will win.
Perhaps I will lose.
CHORUS1
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE2
Clouds in the sky,
Change shape floating by.
Never the same,
And neither am I.
PRE-CHORUS2
The sun or the moon,
How can you chose?
One comforts at night;
One warms us at noon.
CHORUS2
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE3
Trees plant their roots
Firm in the ground,
But I have my feet
To carry me ‘round
PRE-CHORUS3
My dreams always change
That’s part of the fun.
To make life exciting
And not hurt anyone.
CHORUS3
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.

LYRICS
Looked at the stars in the sky.
Thought about how it would look through different eyes.

Through the eyes of another.
Through the eyes of another.

Began to see the world as a very large place.
We are all lonely creatures in a very big space.

Through the eyes of another.
Through the eyes of another.

Eyes Of Another (ft. Arianna - vocals)

SITTING TOGETHER

We can sit together, watch the sun shine through the window,
or stay in bed with the curtains closed.
Read to each other from a book of poetry,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can get up, cook us something good to eat,
or wander to the cafe at the end of the street.
Drink a margarita or a cup of tea,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

I’ve been without you once or twice,
never did like it from the start.
In the dark I had to turn on the light
without you I just fall apart.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can go walking in all kinds of weather,
or stay home and watch a silent film together.
Laughing and dancing as our ideas unfurl,
planning how we are gonna take over the world.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love.

lyric

I’m here with you
You say that I worry about my future
You say that I worry about my future
You say that I worry about my future
No matter what they say
It’s only you who can create your world
It’s only you who can create your world
It’s only you who can create your world
I’m future you
Stay with you
I’m a man who you want to be
But I know it’s OK
It’s OK
It’s OK

僕はここにいるよ
君は言う
未来が心配
未来が心配・・
人がなんて言ったって関係ない
君の世界を作れるのは君だけだ
君の世界を作れるのは君だけだ
僕は未来の君
一緒にいるよ
僕は君のなりたい君だよ
大丈夫
大丈夫

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album  Ticket to Shangri-La  released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme

Starling Wars

You fly in to foul my nest 
Seeing red I puff out my chest
Aiming at your catacombs
Dropping all my guano bombs
Flit across and I peck at you
Cause my beliefs are the only truth
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

I ruffle your feathers
You think that you’re better
Ethnically superior
The plumage of an emperor
Gonna peck my eye’s right out
Squawk about it loud and proud
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B

Underneath there’s the dove of peace
Peeking out at the busy streets
I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings
Drop a flower confess my sins
Fleeting thought it just flies away
Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

STARLING WARS

Thinking About You

The Union crosses the Rappahannock river and clears Fredericksburg. The Confederates retreat to the surrounding hills behind a 4 foot high stone wall. Union frontal attacks, while valiant, are futile with casualties 2:1 ending in total Union withdrawal. History would later lay blame on the Union high command for the debacle. 
Lyrics - have multiple meanings: Crossing the river, subsequent fears and sorrow, poor Immigrant and runaway slave Negro soldiers compelled by their conscience to fight for a better free world; give their all often dying slowly and painfully while left alone on the battlefield - now the Lyrics:

Rivers of tears
Unending fears Lord
These souls
Longing to be free
Their all
Is all they have to give oh Lord
Their blood
Buying liberty

Arianna Rader is featured as the vocalist in this melodic pop-style song about the importance of having a good friend. Written and produced by Dave Heffner.
LYRICS
VERSE1
Many nights before I go to sleep,
I wonder ‘bout the day and what I’d change.
Feelings and memories that I wish to keep,
And those that were new and strange.
CHORUS1
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around.
Who? A friend like you? Who?...
VERSE2
Planning for changes in my life,
Looking for new skills and thrills,
I want to rise up to challenge myself.
A future in this world.
VERSE3
Travel the bumpy road,
And navigate the twists and turns,
Would be no fun to do it alone,
But to share what I will learn.
CHORUS2
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around. 
REFRAIN
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble. Who cares for me.
Who? A friend like you!
