Track Name: Simple Rhythm
The simple rhythm of your beating heart
creates a schism which will make of fall apart.

So heavy handed, we begin now where were
we've grown lethargic, but we see life from afar.

So clap your hands, we will sing as we dance
for it's our love that will span this great expanse.
Track Name: Mistaken
I want to tell you that I love you
but I know it's not allowed
that I'm thinking of you
but I know it's not allowed

'cause maybe i'm mistaken this time

I see you and me together
and maybe that's alright
could we always love each other?
could that be alright?

and i'm not sure i'm mistaken this time

I hear the bells they're ringing
ringing in my ears
and your words are spoken
they disolve all my fears

and I hope i'm not mistaken this time

We watch children on the front porch
they're playin' in the park
they say "please old man come with me"
and they drag us both along

and I don't think i'm mistaken this time

but they always tell me that i'm not supposed to sing
maybe you will tell me that i'm not supposed to sing about you.

'cause maybe i'm mistaken this time
and I hope I'm not mistaken this time... again
Track Name: Embrace the Spring
Blue Jay sing your new song,
about the day it's just begun
All you say is all we hear,
cause on this day we've turned our ears

Cold's outside Winter's here
put on your coat and muff your ears
I'll keep you warm, I'll keep you near
I'll hold your hand and wipe your tears

migrate...
migrate...

You say go, go on south
get away from all this now
I want to sing, I want to see
I want to be, to be set free

fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away
fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away

all I wanted to see
was a new branch of a new tree
and the fruit that it would spring
would give us life and set us free

now warmth's outside, the flowers bloom
the trees, the're all filled with plume
It's time to smile, It's time to sing
open you arms embrace the spring
embrace the spring
Track Name: Time to Fly (An Ode to Those Who Teach Kindergarten)
a dying bird
crumpled in it's parents arms

a sad, sad thing
that bring us back where we belong

we'll never be alone

we'll never be alone

with frailty comes
the ability to soar
way up in the sky

but my broken bones,
weak as they may be,
never make me fly

but I sure as hell can try

I sure as hell can try

impossibilities they haunt us in our memories.
our fading dreams, and dying love

I'll fight them all the way until my dying breath, my dying
day... has come

the fading wind
lifts their fragile frames
as we say goodbye

but my crippled wings,
weak as they may be,
never make me fly

but I sure as hell can try
Track Name: By Blood or By Storm
my legs have grown tired and my feet have grown sore
from this path I have walked, from this trail I have forged
my body is weak and my spirit is broken
i'm like the old beggar with his trinkets and tokens

oh the plans I have made,
could I leave here today?

on this selfish parade
to escape to a place

where my feelings are gone
oh and I am not numb

can I flee from myself?
for it's me i'm afraid of

for fear I would leave, for fear I would stay
for what's in the past i'm afraid of today
my journey is long and the path there is lonely
oh God keep me warm and grant me some company

my brother is hurt, my parents confused.
i'm sorry dear world I felt broken and used
redemption in life and not just in death
oh pardon my sins I have laid them to rest

oh the plans I have made,
could I leave here today?

on this selfish parade
to escape to a place

where my feelings are gone
oh and I am not numb

can I flee from myself?
for it's me i'm afraid of

by blood or by storm my allegiance is sworn
to a God I have doubted and a land that is torn

oh the plans I have made,
could I leave here today?

on this selfish parade
to escape to a place

where my feelings are gone
oh and I am not numb

can I flee from myself?
for it's me i'm afraid of

take me back in i'm the prodigal son
i've seen to the end and the seeds i have sown
you've loved me the same since the day i was born
by blood or by storm my allegiance is sworn
