Positive 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Positive She told me she was of Royal descent I said I don’t care But if it helps you to pay the rent Than would you say that’s fair? Can you sing a song the way it is meant I want to feel your soul touching mine I want to know that the world is fine I really wanna know I told you so I really wanna know It’s all positive though I really wanna know It’s the way to go I wanna know I took her to the places I go Had to show her my life And the people that she would get to know Before becoming my wife The way you sing caresses my soul Do you see our shadows in the moonlight And is it gonna be tonight Chorus Solo She could do anything Rule over distant countries But now she wears my ring Alright The world has turned a bit around its axis With so much to create Has magic seeped into the cracks Are we still chasing fate We never know where this road leads Is there a song to sing If you give your life all it needs You must tell me one thing

They Run, We Hide 04:34

They run we hide E C E A Verse 1 E The rumble we hear comes from clouds in the back We should find a place to hide B The coats that they march in are brown and black E The cruel red of symbols is bright C G E Darkness is coming soon Verse 2 E The mindless shouting makes good sense to all He says it as it is B They don't realize that they're part of the fall E They'll go down the abyss C G E We cry to the moon Prechorus A G D E Aren't we all different A G C B Aren't we all the same in the end Chorus E G They run, we hide C B Ugly is coming out E G Stand up, and fight A B Make it loud E G The past, is back C B Oppression for money and wealth E G So white and black A B Fight for humanity 's health Verse 3 E The lying is hateful, he's twisting the truth The anger wells in my throat B We've seen it before, not stopped in the booth E The power on which they gloat C G E This got to end real soon Chorus E G They run, we hide C B Ugly is coming out E G Stand up, and fight A B Make it loud E G The past, is back C B Oppression for money and wealth E G So white and black A B Fight for humanity 's health E G They run, we hide C B Ugly is coming out E G Stand up, and fight A B Make it loud

Livin’ the life A A/G D/F# E Esus4 E A When you were a young man A/G Oh these were the innocent days D/F# Just go with the flow, ride the wave E Esus4 E Esus4 E And see how the game plays D We didn’t know back then A The living in the fast lane D Where every man E Pays a slip in pain A Now you’re driving in a fast red car A/G And girls are coming to your shows D/F# You still don’t know if you’ll make it big E But your confidence always grows D We didn’t know back then A The living in the fast lane D Where every man E Pays a slip in pain A G A D Livin’ the life, it gives you a rush A E There’s never enough in a day A G A D Livin’ the life, having a crush A E You couldn’t do it any other way That day you left the harness of work Was the best day of your life But how you gonna support them all Your red car and your wife Times are tough and times are hard But you still love the choices you made For the music is flowin through your veins And it’s worth the price you paid Livin’ the life, it gives you a rush There’s never enough in a day Livin’ the life, having a crush You couldn’t do it any other way D Riff There comes a time for all D E When you heed life’s call Solo on verse Livin’ the life, it gives you a rush There’s never enough in a day Livin’ the life, having a crush You couldn’t do it any other way Repeat chorus Now you’re driving in a fast red car Burn your time on the road Lights are shining in your blood And This sun won’t explode This night seems to last 2 weeks Or maybe you have gone blind But you see the sounds around your head So maybe you lost your mind The more you get the more you want Until you’ve had too much Unless it’s free and you give it to me And time is there to touch

Reminiscing 04:04
lyrics

Reminiscing When you look up and you see the stars Do you think of me and what we are The roads you took to find the dawn The line you crossed that I had drawn When you look up into the sky Do you know it now or still ask why Or are they just some lights there in the night But the dark is here since they’re not that bright But if I forget And something else happened there instead And what if I forget Will you remember still When I look out across the sea And only birds are looking back at me Ships are sailing past the shore When they’re gone there are always more When I look out and the clouds roll in And I have no idea where to begin So I end up lost inside my head With nothing I could ever get But if I forget And something else happened there instead And what if I forget Will you remember still But I remember the streets Where at night we would meet And shout for what’s right Cuz we don’t wanna fight Just show you a different way But what if I forget And something else happened there instead And what if I forget Will you remember still You will remember still

magical people When I open the door And I walk in the room There’s the colour of hope Something new is in bloom And I breathe And I see I think you’re courageous The devil calls you pick up the phone I hope your mood is contagious Even though you are all alone On rays of sunlight you fly in The mirror laughs because of your dream The way it’s alright a begin Too much is never extreme All the magical people That make this a better place All you magical people You all shine in different ways All you magical people You all shine in different ways You are a creator Your spark forces clouds to explode In walks the educator The birth of a new episode On rays of sunlight you fly in The mirror laughs because of your dream The way it’s alright a begin Too much is never extreme All the magical people That make this a better place All you magical people You all shine in different ways

Information 02:57

Information It doesn’t make sense at all That the echoes of your call Speak in my waking dreams Or so it seems I wanted to let you know That the secrets of the flow Are still a mystery Or at least to me Information I’m drowning and I still don’t have enough Complications Show me the light I want to do it right The writing’s on the wall But you’re scared to make the call Meanwhile the chaos grows And no one knows And though I’ve seen it all before Don’t remember anymore When people have to trade And money made Information I’m drowning and I still don’t have enough Complications Show me the light More from and about Fourth Son South https://www.facebook.com/FourthSonSouth/ I want to do it right Another day And no one really cares Some have their say And get what isn’t theirs Machines made to lie And I’m only asking why You want it to be true At least for you Now the truth is just a word Not something to be heard It just creates more hate Is this our fate Information I’m drowning and I still don’t have enough Complications Show me the light I want to do it right

Playing in the Yard 04:56

Playing in the Yard All this time The clouds are still there And though the wind may blow They hang in the air All the episodes Showing the way The bruise printed underneath Probably will stay Playing in the yard Starting at the source Playing in the yard I Follow my own course Playing in the yard Its time to find a key Its time to spread your cheer No matter what they see In your mind You always lost the race But you can’t swim above the trees It’s what you have to face In the light You are what you bring Your voice may be different But you can always sing Playing in the yard Starting at the source Playing in the yard I Follow my own course Playing in the yard Its time to find a key Its time to spread your cheer No matter what they see
