Extraordinary Times - by Colin Lake, Wax Wane Music (BMI)

A coat of armor, a heart of steel

If you’re gonna’ use your sword then be ready oh to use your shield

Where we’re going, we can’t discern

Seems like a bottleneck ahead beyond the point of no return

chorus:

You don’t hear no stories ‘bout men from ordinary times

The time has passed for lookin’ out through ordinary eyes

Look to your heroes, and courage you may find

May your spirit lead you through extraordinary times

Who we are, we don’t even know

Seems like we wandered off the path and lost our way some time ago

What may unite us, are the wounds we bare

But still we’re fighting with each other in the shadows of what we share

[chorus]

Falling out of favor, running out of time

Nothing comes easy when you’ve fallen so far behind

[chorus]

Alajuela - by Colin Lake, Wax Wane Music (BMI)

Did you ever seen the sunrise

In Alajuela

Did you ever wish you’d stayed, to see one more

Did you ever go looking for peace

In Alajuela

Did you ever lose yourself, or find what you’re looking for


chorus:

There’s something so complete about you

Like the circle ‘round the sun

In a day I’ll be without you

Tonight we dream as one

Did you ever watch the planes land at night

In Alajuela

Did you ever wonder where they come from, or where they go

Did you ever feel time stand still

In Alajuela

Was there ever any other way, than to take it slow


chorus:

There’s something so complete about you

Like the circle ‘round the sun

In a day I’ll be without you

Tonight we dream as one

So let the stars surround you

And let the night air fill your lungs

Take me back to where I found you

Back to where your heart was won
