Mark & Ra LYRICS A COMING OF AGE Words cannot frame my open heart at the end of the day. Naked are my humble words that seek to convey. And I guess this is what some may call a coming of age. Sooner of late that which we fill will overflow. With our intent we create, our belief we fulfil. What's done now it's done and I cremate all each of my ills. And I guess this is what some may call a coming of age. La La La. I am. See a map of my mind, feel at home, walk every street. Then reserving the choice to designate my attention to see. The lighter the mind, it's plain to see, the brighter the soul. La La La. I am And at the heart of it all, we'll find love no matter the cost. And hurray for the walls in my life I've seen I can blow. Now expand in this space, dance in time, with my lover to hold. And I guess this is what some may call a coming of age. La La La. I am. La La La. I am who I am. A LETTER HOME Hello friend, I know this took a time to send, but you know me, I'm busy scratching itchy feet. And as time descends, my stories flitter and meet their ends. But I'm coming home, I'm coming home to you. And I juxtapose, thoughts here and thoughts of there. Then I lead the way, back and forth and back again. But I'm coming home, coming home, I'm coming home. I said I'd be leaving, but that was long ago, and you said I believed you so. But I got caught up with my dreams of a little nook on the coast, with stairs to the roof and a boat. Well the weather's clear and people here have smiles upon their faces. A simple, slower, mellow world whose priorities lie in places. Void of commerce and status quo and rats that run in races. And as you see, of this place, I am fond. But you're my home and I hope you know I love you and I miss you so. And I'm coming back to realise everything of which we've fantasised. But I met a girl and we've come to grow closer as our days have flown, beneath the stars with local tea. It's the yarcha gumba if you know what I mean... And it's a struggle to leave a place so right, and justify what constitutes a 'proper' life. We're endlessly conditioned, told and told and that's a tragedy if I should be so bold. But there are things to do and my love is lost, perhaps she'll visit but then perhaps she'll not. Right now it seems like a different world, but a world I'll conquer if I'm brave... So don't play your games, don't play those games, unless you're prepared to lose again, unless you're prepared to lose every single step of the way. I'll see you soon. FINDING ALL WE LOST Will you take me by the hand and lead me to tomorrow? Will you help me understand just where we're going? Will you lead me to the edge where I may be forgotten? I'm not afraid to die but of leaving it all behind. So let's row out and swim tonight and we'll find all we lost, And break the rules that cause our dreams to filter off, And leave an open door. How do I know that you're right when you could be so wrong? Time to think gather my thoughts then leave them all behind. So let's row out and swim tonight and we'll find all we lost. And break the rules that cause our dreams to filter off. And leave an open door. Some may say live a certain way but that's just their way for now. So let's swim out and touch the edge of life and we'll fight a war in the moonlight. So let's row out and swim tonight and we'll find all we lost. And break the rules that cause uur dreams to filter off. And leave an open door. BRIGHT Why to go home now can't you see we're already there. Blind to the dream is the fool who's unwilling to share. You and I will let our sky shine bright. Cos it's another day in another life, and we're one step closer to the world inside. And these are the words I believe to be true. We're bound to the glory upon which we are destined to feed, so why worry about things you
