Time to Soar
Verse 1
Like a hummingbird with wings to fly, emerging forward towards the sky
Ever receptive to the dream, for all that you’ve witnessed or ever seen
Release and so defy, no greater time to try, just hold on, trust and so rely
Much higher than the fall, it’s time to give your all
To the promises you’re believing for
Chorus
I believe you will receive, the blessings, its free
I am sure, you’re truly called, to the victory, that is yours
It’s time to soar
Verse 2
With an open mind, steered to drive, follow through to the road,...

Have Hope
Verse 1
Hope can you feel, it’s kinda stipulated
Hope when its real, I’m feeling elevated, kinda animated, duly inundated
Come and turn around, now it’s time that we really made it
Faith is the key, towards the manifested
Hope and believe, in times we’re really tested
I’m eager interested, a power that is vested
Come and follow me to places that we’ve never rested
Chorus
Time and time and time we’ve got to have hope – yeah
Bring it back to life and it’s got to have scope – ooh yeah
Come and fill my heart with joy and laughter,...

The Other Side of the Road
Verse 1
If love is what you feel and it’s real
Authentic, bona fide, with true appeal
From high to low emotions on the course
All I’m asking of you, I shall not force
To reach forever more for your hand
Only skies from up above will understand
To walk that open road, towards the dream
Yet my heart will comprehend what I mean
Chorus
And if it’s safe with me, it’s plain to see
The one and only place to build a home
And while you wait and see, if the grass is green
Greener on the other side of the road ...

Take me to the distant places
Take me far beyond the sky
To embrace the broad horizon
Where both my wings can fly
Take me to a place of courage
Far beyond a place of fear
To unfold my true formation
Sailing forth to seas sincere
Set to rise with true elation
Former thoughts to unlearn
To discover...

The Truth that I Love You
Verse 1
Standing in the middle, just unravelling the riddle
Won’t you stay with me a little, I’m lost in time
Resolution ever-ready, indecisions never steady
No I can’t be secondary, just want to make you mine
Chorus
The essence of courage, with leaves swept away
I’m journeying forward, don’t stand in my way
No greater price to pay, it’s not hard for me to say
The truth that I love you
Verse 2
Unfolding revelation, I’ll await anticipation
With a rising elevation, I’m drawn to you
The glowing of your favour and the...

Liberated
Verse 1
Initiated, when there’s a choice to truly take it
In order to be liberated, gain true identity
When there’s a low road, a higher path is taken solo
It doesn’t matter even how slow, true living is free
Chorus
No matter the forces I see, the invisible right before me
Keep moving and gliding swiftly, liberated, it’s time to be free
All genuine none to conceal, just chasing the joy that I feel
Authentic with goodness is real, liberated, truly liberated
...

Moonlight
https://soundcloud.com/user-921599710/moonlight-performed-by-itzquincy
Verse 1
There is no distance to travel, to cause a divide, between us
There is no towering mountain that we cannot climb to build trust
Of moments in time, of which are passing away
Yet all the love I possess, grows day after day, yeah
Chorus
Let’s sail away, by the moonlight
Let’s find a way, for us to realise
That we’ll never arrive, we’ll never arrive
So continue to strive, continue to strive
The water will flow, the water will flow
And...

Learn Thy Trade
From minute settlements, to towns of trade
Yet without warning, a sudden raid
A venture into foreign lands
The walls and gates of Viking hands
To labour on, as understood
Homes we build, prepare thy wood
Address the strength of near rooftops
For there beneath lay our workshops
Commence the plan, we have devised
Perfect thy craft and specialize
Protect the home, o’ dearest wives
We venture out, to honour lives
I make thy comb,...

Settlers Ashore
Of European descent, from whence they came
Across the borders to settle, re-establishment
Angles, Saxons and Jutes – Anglo-Saxon be known
Conquered lands, such roads have served, that of the Roman Empire
Yet under attack, strong order we lack
Helpless – o’ kingdom cry
As legions left, nations wept
Our production has ceased
O’ Saxons – mercenaries be hired
Will you defend us now?
Picts trouble thee
From ‘worthlessness’, ‘choice nature’ reflect
Anglo warriors now...

There's Every Kind of Beautiful
Verse 1
Whether I’m young or old, there’s a story to be told
Well above any claim to beautify
If there’s a wrong or right, there’s always a goal in sight
Let my perspective override
Chorus
It’s time to take control, let every book unfold
It’s my worth to make my own
Let every thought release, no part of me compete
Let only upright seeds be sown
There’s every kind of beautiful
Verse 2
Whether I’m short or tall, there’s every wonderful

Incandescent Flame
Intro
When there’s nothing to lose, but everything to gain
A journey moving forward, never the same again
To look beyond the shadows, towards a ray of light
Just embrace the midnight, the stars come out at night
Verse 1
There’s nothing to prove, follow authenticity
Surrender the complex, focus with simplicity
Keep that flame burning, resplendence of desire
There’s no better time, to keep on aiming higher
Chorus
