BEYOND WORDS		    

VERSE 1
CANNOT SAY, CANNOT DESCRIBE
TOO MANY WORDS TO SET DOWN IN A LINE
NOT ENOUGH POETRY TO PORTRAY
THE BALANCE OF LIFE BEYOND WORDS

AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS, MADE OF MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS

VERSE 2
CANNOT HOLD THIS LIGHT FOR LONG
TIME IS HERE, TIME IS GONE
AS OUR FEET TOUCH DOWN
THE BALANCE OF LIFE BEYOND WORDS

CHORUS
AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS, MADE OF MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS

VERSE INSTRUMENTAL

EXTENDED END CHORUS
AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
A VISION MADE REAL, IN LOVE THAT WE FEEL
BEYOND WORDS 

ALL OF THE TIME, WOVEN IN RHYME
BEYOND WORDS

YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS … MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS

Baylen Leonard - Amazing Radio
"Ian Roland's songs have a way of sneaking into your head and heart after just one listen. I find myself singing them long after hearing them. His songwriting somehow has the magical ability to transport me back to the front porch of my youth. They manage to sound both modern and like something from times gone by. Excellent."

Phil Widdows - FolkCast
"Ian Roland is a gifted songwriter and performer with an individual and refreshingly different approach to his art, producing songs that really are well worth getting to know." - Phil Widdows, folkcast.co.uk
