Secret 05:38

SECRET By Mychael John Thomas CHORUS Tell me what it is…Tell me what it is Tell me what it is…The secret of the universe Some people tell me I’m crazy For trying to make some sense of it all Well everybody’s got an opinion And everybody thinks that everybody else is wrong Looking at the sky makes me wonder If we can ever figure it out My friends tell me I need to stay grounded But we can only find the answer with our head in the clouds CHORUS Well I think it just a paradox really Contradiction between Heaven and Hell But the truth has never ceased to amaze me How it all fits together the creation and the fall It’s just a lifetime of choices Sometimes we stand there scratching our brow There’s only one way we will know for sure When we come to the day when we lay the body down CHORUS BRIDGE The Father sees there is a mystery that baffles us all Just let it go…Stop resisting and give in to the call Is it so important…that we know the how and the why? We see a portion that can only be complete when we die… SOLO CHORUS © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Run All Night 04:52

RUN ALL NIGHT By Mychael John Thomas Almost bit the dust this time Felt the breeze of the bullets flying past your head No business in this state of mind You should even try to reason with things they said You’re a target for the vicious soul on the prowl Looking to destroy someone But you saw it for just what it is Finally you realized the time had come CHORUS Run all night…Leave it all behind Play it all down till the storm blows over Run all night…Till the first ray of sun comes up And now you’ve grown one day older You made the getaway…You’re still alive But don’t let up ‘cause you know you’re gonna have to Run all night…Run all night No excuse when a choice is bad It’s a fool who continually puts life on the line Knowing better and it’s really sad When you can’t see reality or read the signs But there’s an Angel watching out for you in the time You really can’t see things clear Every future holding the chance To travel the road to get away from here CHORUS BRIDGE Choking on the fear in the back of your throat Your tongue’s so dry that the scream won’t come Your lungs are pounding till the pain takes over But you know your only hope is to run… SOLO CHORUS © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Open 06:36

OPEN By Mychael John Thomas And Paula Daniel CHORUS You laid me open…My heart on display All of those feelings I’d been keeping at bay Just having to trust another soul terrifies me But you laid me open…Now I’m set free So easy to get used to being alone While hoping and praying to meet someone But now and then a smile from Heaven above Makes you know that we all are meant for love It’s a mystery…Still it’s plain as day You were made for me…I gotta say CHORUS Now my spirit just overflows like water Covered by the flood that takes me over Washes me like the spring rain on a mountain With your love that returns me to the fountain Walls come crashing down…And the sun will shine To reveal the one…We’re meant to find CHORUS BRIDGE Walk me down to the river of life Sharing our love forever is right We are innocent children again And we feel those blessings of Heaven begin! SOLO CHORUS …Satisfies me... © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Abandonment 04:34

ABANDONMENT By Mychael John Thomas Pain! You walk away and won’t say anything Just leave me here with my aftermath emotions Sane! I will survive ‘cause I’m alive and free Beyond your lacking of devotion If you want division…Well that is your decision But I have all the strength I need CHORUS My love is strong for you I always long for you And I don’t want to be alone In this abandonment Maybe it’s Heaven sent We could still make the journey home Stay! You don’t have anything to lose this time And our reward might be greater than our struggle Say we’ll write new stories using different lines And not just watch our kingdom crumble Love is everlasting…And can we choose to have it To fight this evil that has come CHORUS BRIDGE Fear is taking over…No reason in our minds Our hearts are empty…No meaning left to find How can we trust?…When everybody runs From true commitment SOLO CHORUS © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Flip Of A Coin 05:05

FLIP OF A COIN By Mychael John Thomas Every day some new trial presents itself Electric path for me to follow to the end I put my feelings in a box up on the shelf Until my damaged heart can mend Questions always questions… Subliminal suggestions… Irrational positions to defend CHORUS Is it chance?…Is it fate? Once again am I too late? A cosmic destiny is waiting for me Is it test?…Or a dare?…Are we going anywhere? Or is it just the flip of a coin between…The Powers that be? Everyone has a mission of their own Calling to the heart…We can answer it or not No help in seeing yet in hope we travel on The passion keeps the fire hot Redefining moments… Forever we explore them… While holding on to what belief we’ve got CHORUS BRIDGE What is this Heavenly divide That makes the earth a limbo ride? Is there a meaning buried in feelings that we hide? We hide… SOLO Questions always questions…Subliminal suggestions Irrational positions to defend CHORUS Is it love?…Is it hate? We destroy and we create This complex irony is confusing me Is it life?…Or a dream?…Is anything the way it seems? Or is it just the flip of a coin between…The Powers that be? © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

All Out War 04:40

ALL OUT WAR By Mychael John Thomas & Paula Daniel The spirits restless tonight…and driving us insane The air between us burns like fire…our anger fans the flame How did we get so far from love...we said would never break? And whoever wins this time…what difference will it make? CHORUS This isn’t just another fight (It’s something deeper maybe) An endless tunnel with no light (I feel the Reaper waiting) Not just some careless words Then wonder what we’re fighting for It’s an all out war If we could hold our tongue...from speaking evil words Then we might save enough...to help rebuild our world How have I hurt you so…that you only want to cause me pain Please look into yourself...does any love remain? CHORUS BRIDGE Firing at will…Going in for the kill Aim for the heart…Gonna tear our world apart Maximum hurt…Taking no prisoners Never give up…We assassinate our love SOLO I swear it’s not to late...to leave this path we’re on If we could hesitate...this moment might be gone Can we not change our minds...I give an olive branch Let down your guard as will I...and maybe we still dance CHORUS This isn’t just another fight (It’s getting deeper baby) An endless tunnel with no light (Just see the Reaper waiting) Retreat from careless words It’s love we’re really fighting for Stop this all out war... All out war... All out war © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Symbiosis 05:03

SYMBIOSIS By Paula Daniel and Mychael John Thomas I need your touch to be alive To feel your presence by my side Knowing the joy of you in my heart…Never apart In the universe we’ve always been We just discover these bodies we’re in Live to the day when freedom comes…To the Kingdom CHORUS We are the yin and the yang The fire in the blood in our veins We are the moon and the sun The balance of all yet to come I’m living by your every breath And with my life returning it Tho not completely opposites A circle of love…symbiosis Not just a half of something whole But intertwined with our very souls Being as one for all to know…We ebb and flow And it’s our perfect compliment That will reveal the Heaven sent Shining the light of life like stars…Wherever we are… BRIDGE For when the two become one…Nothing can undermine Vast as the oceans we sail…Love will prevail in this time SOLO CHORUS I need your touch to be alive To feel your presence by my side Knowing the joy of you in my heart…Never apart © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

New Face 06:09

NEW FACE By Mychael John Thomas Until your last breath it’s not too late To change whatever road you’re on Ignore the fear and take a leap of faith And grab the truth before you’re gone People like to say you’re not acting like yourself But all along you’ve just been being someone else Take a different road…Let your heart be love controlled CHORUS Putting on a new face…Walking in eternal grace Putting on a new face… Shining in the love of a brand new day The eyes are a mirror to your soul So what reflection do you see? Losing preconception means letting go Of misconceived reality Standing unafraid before all the universe Before you’re riding in the guest seat of a hearse Driven to the brink…let love change the way you think CHORUS BRIDGE I can’t really say that I’m in love with who I have become I want to change the way I am and become a better man I only want to know the truth I thought I knew in youth God fill me with Your love and peace…Rain Your grace on me CHORUS © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI
