Lyrics to Stars and Satellites - Solutions

SOLUTIONS (R. Johnson)

[Finding beauty and hope in those things left behind.]

As I look into your eyes
The color green is full of life
Cast your beauty to the sky

A symphony for your time
You bring your color green alive
And paint these hours with your prize

And I know and
And I pray
And I hope that you will stay
Every time you speak to me
You take a little part of me

Wondering
Will I try?
Every day
You’re full of life
The little things that bring alive
And dry the tears from these eyes

Awake in the morning light
And pull the white sheets aside
Extend your arms and raise your voice
Every day this is your choice

Like all was lost
And now its found
And rain beats down
To the ground
Its your life
And its your way
Before you know its all away

Like when life brings you to your knees
And you don’t know just what to believe
The world has tumbled down and you do it weep
And all you care to do is sleep a week with me

Your sunshine breaks the clouds tonight
Just like stars and satellites
And everything is gonna be alright
Your mystique is a guiding light
And everything is so alive
And everything is gonna be alright, alright, alright

 

SHINE (R. Johnson)

[This is a love song.  This is actually the only song for which I had the lyrics before the music.  It’s pretty self-explanatory :)]

Like when your destiny is with this one
And even the bad times seem like fun
Like when my faith in you has run
Our time together has only begun

I'd give my soul to you
Just for one last kiss from you
I'll take your pain away
And walk you through the darkest days

I don't know just what to say
Or what to do
When I'm with you
I don't know just how to act
When people say
That I'm in tact
I just know that when you're here
And I am here
And we together
Make this world a better place
And everything’s in line

Your smile shines on me
Like rain drops falling on an open sea
You shine, you shine on me
Like rain drops falling on an open sea


You're so beautiful
You're so, you're so
You're so beautiful
You're so, you're so

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
I sighed, I cried, I walked away
Now I only hope for a new day

SOLUTIONS PART II (R. Johnson)

[… “sometimes I am lost within your eyes, but now I’m falling” … ‘Falling’ refers, of course, to falling in love.  The idea is that true love last forever.]

Sometimes I am lost within your eyes

But now I’m falling

In your arms I feel (I feel) alive

And now I’m calling

 

I won’t be here in the end

And moments pass until the end

And lasting love will sustain

And touch your heart without the pain

Wondering your endless trek

As tears trickle down your neck

It is soon that you will see

Solutions live in your dreams

 

Sometime these tears will dry

And now I’m stalling

If you hear my pleading cry

That I am falling

 

Tomorrow’s parties begin tonight

In this moment you will cry

Stand before your life tonight

And in this moment you will cry

 

 

INSPIRATION (R. Johnson)

[For everyone that has inspired me.]

 

Cascade down your cheeks and eyes

Your world can feel just right

You say,

“All your life, you’ll be everything in my eyes”

 

Heavens align, lightly intertwine

Sing, ring, and shepardize

And bring me to endless heights

 

I feel your guiding light

I see in harmonic light

I hear your melody

Your melody that sings

“Inspire me”

 

When the situation takes your crown

And your inspiration is no longer found

Untie the chains of which you’re bound

And stand (again) on solid ground

 

Swirl inside this endless air

Blend before you will care (will care)

The beauty breaks, soon will rise (arise)

And inspiration comes to life (to life)

 

 

DREAM CATCHER (B. Johnson)

[Brad wrote this one.  This is about a child that is not accepted by his peers and escapes to another world, seeking solace in sleep and dreams.]

Lay down your head child

I'll stand at your feet

To suck all the hate and the fear from your sleep

Just close your eyes now

Forget who you are

We'll inhale the night and we'll exhale the stars

 

Dream on forever that you belong

Bathe in the light of life and move on

But don't you ever believe what you hear

The pain is eternal and I'll drown in your fears

 

Dearly beloved we'll see the dream catcher stand

With a heart of feather and a key in his hands

His eyes sparkle gold with the sound of his name

And when it grows cold he puts the fire in your veins

 

Dream on forever that you belong

Bathe in the comfort of life and move on

The moon will bleed to cover the scars

While we lay on the sand and wish on the stars

 

Dream on forever that you belong

If death is eternal then life's just as long

 

 

EVERY NIGHT, GOODBYE (E. Tipps / R. Johnson)

[The lyrics spell this one out pretty clearly]

 

Dreaming outside your soul

Flying outside your soul

Give you all my glory

Give you all my shame

It’s funny how your heart feels

When there is no one left to blame

 

All these things I feel so deep for you

And I cry… tears that sting and flood my eyes

Spread my wings and fall asleep, fly from this lie

And I dream, become a part of infinity

 

Every time I ran away

and never thought that you would stay

What could ever make me feel this way

 

Now I’m stripped of all this pain

It’s passed me by

And I try to learn to live my life again

Spread my wings and fall asleep, fly from this lie

And I dream, become a part of infinity

 

(And I’m sorry for anything hurtful I’ve ever done)

 

To anyone – when your heart bleeds, when you feel that pain

I want to say I’m sorry

And I’m sorry

And I’m sorry

It’s funny how your heart feels when there is no one left to blame

 

LUST (R. Johnson)

[Finding everything you could possibly want or need in another]

Every time I see your face

And I wonder what would be

If lust could truly change

 

Now I know what lust can truly be

Forever in eternity

 

Lost in lust

Lost in lust with you

I’m so lost in you

 

In four years, I’ve never seen before

And I’m feeling everything that I have never felt before

Now I see with light and in my life

I am so alive

I am brought to life

I am so alive

 

Lost in lust

 

ALL OVER AGAIN (R. Johnson)

[This song makes a lot more sense in the context of the rest of the CD.  This has a lot of personal meaning… so I’ll leave interpretation open.]

In a moment I heard the crash
And all the sounds of the broken glass
And I heard your screams for what seemed weeks
They resonate inside of me

Please don't go
If there's one last thing for you to know
I don't ever want you to feel alone
Alone

Now we start all over again
Like love, like fate, like you feel it again
Now we start all over again
Like love, like fate, like we'll do it again

Didn't know how long it'd last
Or if I'd ever hear you back
I'll pray for you until my hands are numb
'Cause in this life you only get one

Please feel no pain
And stand again through this rain
I'll care for you all my life
'Cause no carousel can match this ride

Step away from the broken glass
And let this life have another chance
I'd never think that it'd go this way
But I'll think of you every day

I'll speak such foolish words
With you tonight, tonight
It's all my love for you in disguise
Please don't go, don't ever feel like you're alone

Now we start
All over again
Now we start
All over again
