Waterfall
Lyrics and music by Oaks Above
As does a waterfall
It divides, reunites us all
We stones cannot roll down those raging streams
By ourselves
So I will gather all the bravery my heart can withstand
And let myself fall right into...
Flowin’ so tenderly
It can also tear this whole world apart
And worm its way deeply to what’s hidden underneath
What we see
So I will look up to the sky
since it became so clear that I could never win
And let myself fall right into life
I see the waterfall

Open Wide
Lyrics and music by Oaks Above
My thoughts lost themselves amongst the stars
Of a bright sky
In a vast world that’s open wide
Open wide
I wake up every mornin’
asking myself why I’m still tryin’ to live the good life
There is somebody else inside me
Strivin’ to shout at my reason to run and to break free
My thoughts lost themselves amongst the stars
Of a bright sky
In a vast world that’s open wide
Open wide
I wanna scream – I wanna love – I wanna dance to my heart’s content
There must be somebody else besides me
Dreamin’ to fly way up high, ‘find a way to the sunshine
My thoughts lost themselves amongst the stars
Of a bright sky
In a vast world that’s open wide
Open wide

Spark
Lyrics and music by Oaks Above
From way up above I look down
What I see, what I see, what I see
Is a spark in the middle of the sea
Some tiny, little piece of land
But it grows, but it grows, yes it grows
Ooooh, the seed reaps what it sows
Walls built Crumbling
Falling apart
Every moving shard of atmosphere Is on fire, is on fire, is on fire
I can hear the crackling sound of a pyre
From my tower made of thoughts afar
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
That in the end, the king will have to kneel
Walls built Crumbling
Falling apart
The seed reaps what it sows
Walls built Crumbling
Falling apart

The Way of things
Lyrics by Oaks Above and Nicolas Whiting
Music by Oaks Above
If I were a star, fading somewhere in the sky
Would my light live on?
Live on long enough to be seen from below
And become something more than a ghostlike memory?
If I were a tree, falling prey to gravity
Would I make any sound?
Any sound of rupture, severed from the past?
The present’s shining bright, but its ways are clouded
I have grown helpless, I have grown shy
For my eyes can’t reach my own desires
If I can’t find the way of things
Should I search further than my horizons?
If I were a stone, watching over sons of men
Would I stay the same?
Stay the same through the seasons, forgetting myself
As I find my reason hiding in yesterday?
I have grown helpless, I have grown shy
For my eyes can’t reach my own desires
If I can’t find the way of things
Should I search further than my horizons?
