01// Daylight
Written by Todd Wright and Micah Wilshire

Surrounded by the noise of yesterday
it gets so hard to put the past away
When every little thing that holds you down
keeps you from the here and now

But somewhere in the static you find faith
and pieces of your heart no one can break
You find a way to make yourself believe
in what you thought you'd never be

You know the time has come now

CHORUS
From the darkest hour we have found the daylight
and it's shining on a brand new day
In this moment we are all together and alive
We are surrounded by
daylight, daylight

All the shadows we were hiding in
kept us from the place we'd never been
We climbed out from behind this broken door
stronger than we were before

You know the time has come now

CHORUS
From the darkest hour we have found the daylight
and it's shining on a brand new day
In this moment we are all together and alive
We are surrounded by
daylight, daylight

Some come on let it fall around you
and light up every road that you walk down
Remember when the daylight found you
every time you start to think about
turning around

We have found the daylight
and it's shining on a brand new day
In this moment we are all together and alive
We are surrounded by
daylight, daylight

03// Closer To You
Written by Shane Anderson, Rob Chiarelli, Kenneth Allman, B.Chevis

There ain't no one in this world tonight
and there ain't no place that I'd rather be
than holding on and being there for you
having you next to me

It's not the rhythm of the words you say
or the very breath of air that you take
but I know I just got to find my way and tell you
I love you endlessly

CHORUS
I wanna get closer to you
no matter what I gotta do
I'll climb this mountain for you right now

I'd swim an ocean for you
I give my word that it's true
I'll do whatever to get to where you are

My mind is filled with every thought of you
and my heart wants to share your love, yeah
you are always in my dreams at night
girl it's you I'm thinking of

It's not the rhythm of the words you say
or the very breath of air that you take
but I know I just got to find my way and tell you
I love you endlessly

CHORUS
I wanna get closer to you
no matter what I gotta do
I'll climb this mountain for you right now

I'd swim an ocean for you
I give my word that it's true
I'll do whatever to get to where you are

BRIDGE

CHORUS
I wanna get closer to you

04// Jump
Written by Lori Wilshire, Micah Wilshire, Ross Copperman

Life has a way of changing your direction
reshaping expectations
But time, escapes
you hold it in your hands,
slips through your fingers like sand
so don’t let it go

CHORUS
So when the chance comes
you gotta take it
you gotta run like wind and chase it
Yea when love comes
you gotta make it
bitter and sweet
you gotta taste it
So get ready, take a step and jump

Time has a way
of showing you what matters
of finding ever afters
And hope remains
the maker of your dreams
lifts you up and gives you wings
and lets you fly
Don’t let it pass you by

CHORUS
So when the chance comes
you gotta take it
you gotta run like wind and chase it
Yea when love comes
you gotta make it
bitter and sweet
you gotta taste it
So get ready, take a step and jump

05// We Need To Change
Written by Jay King, Rob Chiarelli, Tony Sylvia, Tony Haynes, Valerie Watson

There's a mother with a child
And a father who's too proud
To take a handout.

There are people that I meet
Who would rather see defeat
Than to stand out, oh...

CHORUS 1
We Need to Change, the way we're living
We Need to Change, that's why we're driven
To sing for change.

It's time to stand up and send our love out
It's all within us

We Need to Change.
We Need to Change.

There's a family hanging on
Everything they had is gone
But they keep trying
Everybody wants a change
We only have ourselves to blame
The world is dying (oh...)

CHORUS 2
We Need to Change, the way we're living
We Need to Change, that's why we're driven
To sing for change.

It's time we stand up and send our love out
It's all within us

We Need to Change. Oh, yeah
It's time for Change. Oh...
We Need to Change. Oh...
It's time for Change. Oh...

Somebody say "Change"!
Everybody say "Change"!

Come on let's change
Yeah, we need to change...
Somebody say "Change"
Everybody say "Change"

06// With A Kiss
Duet with Italia Ricci
Written by Ben 'Crush' Marc & Rob Chiarelli

Verse 1 (AJ)
There are days I feel like nothing matters, no
And I don’t feel like being bothered

Feels like nothing’s going my way
I just feel like flying away
But then there is you

(You're always smiling, bright as the sky)
Bright as the sky, yeah
(Then I remember, the reasons why I love you)
the reasons I love you, oh
(You gave me a reason right from your lips)
Right from your lips, yeah
(Magical feeling, just with one kiss)

CHORUS
Cause When I feel like I can’t go any longer
(you heal me with a kiss)
Just the touch of your lips makes me feel stronger
(you heal me with a kiss)
And when I feel like life is too much to bear
(you heal me with a kiss)
I can always count on you to be there to heal me with a kiss
(to heal me with a kiss)

Verse 2 (Italia)
There are days when I feel like nothing can take my joy (take my joy)
Then a cloud comes over and it begins to pour (begins to pour)
I try to find shelter, to escape the rain
Though, even an umbrella couldn’t shield my pain
But then there's you

(You're always smiling, bright as the sky)
Bright as the sky, yeah
(Then I remember, the reasons why I love you)
the reasons I love you, oh
(You gave me a reason right from your lips)
Right from your lips, yeah
(Magical feeling, just with one kiss)

CHORUS
Cause When I feel like I can’t go any longer
(you heal me with a kiss)
Just the touch of your lips makes me feel stronger
(you heal me with a kiss)
And when I feel like life is too much to bear
(you heal me with a kiss)
I can always count on you to be there to heal me with a kiss
(to heal me with a kiss)

BRIDGE
You heal me, just with one kiss

CHORUS
Cause When I feel like I can’t go any longer
(you heal me with a kiss)
Just the touch of your lips makes me feel stronger
(you heal me with a kiss)
And when I feel like life is too much to bear
(you heal me with a kiss)
I can always count on you to be there to heal me with a kiss
(to heal me with a kiss)

07// Save Me
Written by Jamie Houston

Buried deep inside my soul
In a great big man made hole
Is every ghost of you
That haunts me

It's filled with our "used to be's"
"I love you's" and "you're the perfect one for me's"
And broken dreams that never came true

But this is not save you,

It's to Save Me.
Save Me. Oh, Oh, save me.
Save Me. Save me.
It's the only way my heart will ever be free.
Is if I Save Me.

To my eyes, nothing's real
So I go each day by feel
And today I feel like a stranger

I can't nurse my wounded pride
Back to health when anger's all that I feel inside
There lies the danger
So, I gotta let go of that anger... oh, yeah.

08// Shine
Written by Lori Wilshire, Micah Wilshire, Ross Copperman

They can lift you up
They can bring you down so low
They could fill your cup
but it will never be enough

So wear your running shoes
and run as fast, as fast as you can
You’re gonna find out soon
that there’s nothing left of you

CHORUS
You don’t have to try so hard
You’re beautiful the way you are
So just shine like the star
that you are
you are

You see a stranger’s eyes
staring back through the glass
One you can’t recognize
but the mirror doesn’t lie

It’s gonna swallow you
It’s deeper than you could ever know
So whatcha gonna do
cause there’s everything to lose

CHORUS
You don’t have to try so hard
You’re beautiful the way you are
So just shine like the star
that you are
you are

You don’t have to feel so bad
You shouldn’t have to carry that
If you just shine like the star
that you are
you are

You will shine, shine so bright
you could light the darkest night

09// Heaven to Earth
Written by Jaime Kyle and Burton Collins
In the darkness I laid weeping
Feeling hopeless and alone
No place to run, no one to turn to
On the edge just hanging on
What faith I had was shaking
I cried out in desperation

CHORUS
From heaven down to earth, like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
In to your arms, like a baby I came crawling
You held me till I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

In your light now I am standing
Filled with hope and unafraid
From your act of tender mercy
Once again I found my way
Just when I thought my world was ending
you showed me a new beginning

CHORUS
From heaven down to earth
Like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
And in to your arms, like a baby I came crawling
You held me till I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

CHORUS
From heaven down to earth
Like a soft rain falling
You came to me and bathed me in your love
And in to your arms, like a baby I came crawling
You held me till I was strong enough
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth
I prayed a prayer and I was heard
From heaven to earth

10// New Direction
Written by Lee Rugless

There was a time.
I used to think.
That my own life was in my hands.
I tried it all under the sun,
I felt my life had just begun.

I used to laugh and mock the ones,
Who said that time was on the run.
For me there was only one way,
To party down and hell to raise.

Refrain
But something inside said there’s gotta be something more,
Search and you’ll find an open door.

CHORUS
A New Direction….is coming your way,
You never knew how sweet it could be..
Coming your way…

I found it hard…hard to believe..
That one man came to set me free…
He took the load upon himself..
To prove that love in of itself,
Could conquer all…and hold the key..
To give me life abundantly.
I took a chance gave it one try…
To see if love was still alive.

Refrain

CHORUS

Vamp
Comin’ your way…
Ah yeah…
May be today…may be tomorrow
Comin’ your way..
Oh you better get ready
Comin’ your way..
Ah I like that part….
The change is comin’ soon…comin’ soon
Comin’ your way…comin’ your way…
