Feel the force 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Feel the force I’m looking around And I like what I see Pretty girls in little dresses Lookin’ back at me Now that I’ve found A way to be free I can almost feel the spirit Rising up in me Life’s too short To sit around Waiting for a sign When it’s right here to be found Feel the force (you can feel that it’s real) Let it ride with you Feel the force (you can feel that it’s real) It’s inside of you Whoh! May the force be with you I used to be worried I used to be sad Telling everyone I knew That life was oh so bad But now I see sunshine Where I used to see rain Now I don’t let trouble find me Now I can’t feel pain

Be Yourself 03:45
lyrics

Be yourself Actors act, singers sing Dancers do their dancing thing Lovers got to love someone Jokers got to have some fun DJ’s have to spin that disc Gamblers need to take a risk Waiters got to wait somewhere But bums ain't got to be nowhere Do what you do best - be yourself Take a good look around at all the rest but be yourself English teachers learn to spell Doctors they can make you well Widows mourn to show their sorrow Psychics can reveal tomorrow Poets seek to find a rhyme Prisoners have to serve their time Sailors love to sail away And Bishops kneel and learn to pray (so now..) Chorus But you can’t change into everything you’re seeing You’re only human You ain't no Chameleon Lawyers got to know the law Umpires have to keep the score Little 'itty' babies learn to walk And the 'Speechies' they got to teach the talk

Same same old 03:38

Same same old Words and music by Grant Siedle I’m walking to your house Number 54 Back down that old road To the front door I know you’ll be there I know you’ll be waiting There’s nothing new these days There’s no use anticipating Same words, same old lines Same scriptwriter everytime I know it’s the same old day Wrapped up in another way Same, same same same old Same, same all over again It’s the same same same Same same old I need a vacation In the sun and sand A one way destination To the promised land I’m climbin’ the walls I’m hoping the phone’s gonna ring Reading between the lines Got to see what the night brings Same booze same hotels Late night scuffles and cigarette smells The old ‘wino’ down the road I know Still loooking for a place to go

One way road 03:52
lyrics

One way road Words and music by Grant Siedle As the crow flies it’s not a long way But you’ve not been that way before And in my eyes I think you should stay And you will find the key to the door If you could walk in time with me Then you might see what I see Take it from me I’ve spent so many years Going the wrong way down a one way road As a young man you can only see Sunshine coming through the rain But an old man knows that he will be Looking back through tears once again If you could walk in time with me Then you might see what I see Take it from me I’ve spent so many years Going the wrong way down a one way road And though the wind whispers your name Calls out to you You will find that it’s never the same Seasons will change it’s true

Angel of the night 04:53

Angel of the night Words and music by Grant Siedle Monday night – my week’s already dead I want to hear a voice that’s not inside my head No need to sleep but I don’t want to stay awake I’ve got to see someone – this silence needs to break I pick up the phone, hit memory number four It won’t be long and she’ll be knocking on my door She’s my angel of the night Comes on by – makes me feel alright Pretty angel, standing in the light Help me make it through the night Friday night – getting ready to leave the town This empty house I don’t want to be around I wind my way down the road to the solace of the sea Taking a ‘break from a break’ as my folks would say to me I’ve got to wake up from this recurring dream Stop watching my life slide by like a movie on a screen She’s my angel… Sunday morning – lying in the bed I stayed around too long when I should have gone home instead But there she was – I didn’t know her name But I knew the song, a little wine and you know we’re all the same Aah but I know I can still pretend That this angel is my one and only friend

Keep burning 03:21

Keep Burning by Grant Siedle May 2006 So long Gotta say goodbye So long You won’t see me cry How long must I wait my turn How long baby will the fire burn Keep burning for me Keep yearning for me When sadness takes over When life is unfair When love proves elusive You pray that there’s someone there Keep burning for me Keep yearning for me And when you know Which way your heart wants to go Then follow it… My heart wants to take this chance But my heart is in your hands So this time wont you let it be This time baby feels right to me She sailed on the southern wind Brought these changes blowing in These days are not quite my own But one day soon..

Your soul 04:58
lyrics

Your soul Words and music by Grant Siedle Broken beads lying on my bed Scattered thoughts running through my head Should I call – will she be at home? Is she waiting by the telephone? When you’re feeling kind of lonely Your pride is on the line You think of the one that you used to hold late at night Your world is falling apart This girl is breaking your heart But don’t you ever let them know That they have broken your hold And don’t you ever… Don’t you ever let them touch your soul Velvet skin but it wont go far What she does isn’t who you are And when you leave there’ll be no surprise Because the truth is written in your eyes When you’re feeling kind of lonely Your pride is on the line You think of the one that you used to hold late at night Your world is falling apart This girl is breaking your heart But don’t you ever let them know That they have broken your hold And don’t you ever

Family 04:32

Family Words and music by Grant Siedle April 2007 It’s been a long time coming But now I’m starting to feel alright There was a cloud overhead But now I’m starting to see the light Too proud and strong One face to the world and one backstage But the time has come To stand up and sing this silent rage We are family Brothers, sisters and friends are going to set you free In this family we try to live in harmony So many ways to behave Too many choices to make each day But in a moment of truth You can suddenly find your way Time to stand up and fight The people who pushed you down The folks who don’t know your name We’re back in sight Take a good look and you will notice we’re not going away We are family Brothers, sisters and friends are going to set you free In this family we try to live in harmony We are the family We’re right where we should be We live in harmony

Make his peace 03:04

Make his peace Words and music Grant Siedle 2003 Father has got to fly his way back home And talk to his mother for the very last time Durban’s the place – so many miles away When he arrives what will she say? The prodigal son sits with his mother So many years on his own Taking the road less traveled Finding his own way back home He’s got to make his peace He said goodbye to sisters and brothers Got a new job, went out on a limb Gave up a lifestyle for his children He threw caution to the wind The prodigal son sits with his mother So many years on his own Taking the road less traveled Finding his own way back home Make his peace, say goodbye She’ll understand by the look in his eye He’s got to make his peace
