Verse I
Good night all and to all a good night
The journey starts when every child closes their eyes
Together we march on this road to ORPHAEA
And reach for the light in the sky

Verse II
Good night all and to all a goodnight
It honors me to join you as we celebrate our lives
The love you have given is born in our children
And lives in the smile of their eyes

Bridge
Remember every message sent protect in them their innocence
Be their teacher (be their teacher) be their guide (be their guide)

Chorus
Walk with me in the land of ORPHAEA
Walk with me on this high and winding road
Where disease is no more
And suffering’s unaccounted for
Cause we live our lives as metaphor
Walk again with me in ORPHAEA
And together friend (and together friend)
We are safe again (we are safe again)
Once more

Instrumental

Verse III
Good night all and to all a good night
Every breath we realize is a chance to save a life
So always remember our time spent together
And reach for your purpose and light

Bridge

Chorus

Refrain
We will see again
And dream again
And we’ll walk again
Together friend
In ORPHAEA

Verse I
Monday morning mission in October
The howling wind “…says you can’t go home today?”
And our carnival lives would soon be over
When we could not walk over Barnegat bridge and bay!

Verse II
Battered boardwalk empires broken
In Brigantine in Seaside and Cape May
My blood shot blue eyes cried out in Hoboken
In her flooded streets I could not find my way

Bridge I
Oh and now were rising from these flooded waters
There’ll be no surrender
We must remember
Oh and now I feel the power of this lady
She is the energy
That runs in me

Chorus
She is (Back to) my homeland
My precious homeland
My beautiful lady
My dear sweet friend
She is my compass
When I’m lost on the highway
She is my comfort
When I’m caught in the rain
She is my homeland
My precious homeland
My beautiful lady
My dear sweet friend

Bridge II
Now long ago I set out on the journey of my life
I thought that destiny was a stairway to ascend
But now I know that destiny’s just a dream that never ends
And I find myself returning home again
And I find my life and dream again
I find myself believe again
I find myself returning home again
And I find myself coming back again

Chorus

Refrain
Yeah she’s my homeland
My precious homeland
My beautiful lady
My dear sweet friend

Verse I
Behold the starlight in the night
A spiral staircase shining bright
A summit Angel casts her light
On my way

Verse II
And so I’ll take this chance and climb
These winding steps of space and time
I’ll find the truth I’m meant to find
This holiday

Bridge
Yeah and I will pray
The Island View Way
Confess my sins and
Renunciate
I’ll light eight candles
And fast each day
And we’ll be together
This holiday

Chorus
I am on the main
And my life is preordained
When I love You the Island View Way
And I don’t walk alone
And I don’t try life on my own
When I love You the Island View Way
We’ll be together as one this holiday
The Island View Way

Verse III
And so I’ll climb this starry light
Search for a purpose on this night
And with these Angels I’ll take flight
On my way

Verse IV
To find a place where I’ll be free
From thund’ring bells that toll for me
And haunting dreams not meant to be
This holiday

Bridge

Chorus

Refrain
And when I love You the Island View Way
We’ll be together as one this holiday
The Island View Way

Verse I
Midway through I’ll take a journey to the valley of the infinite flame
I made my music in the city of lights but then the lights went out on judgment day
And now I see an inner circle watching everything I do and say
It seems my life is just a masquerade for the patrons of this cabaret

Chorus
And so I fly in my armor of music
On wings of Mercury I will sing my original song
And I will write my odyssey when I wear my armor of music
With the lyre of Apollo I will sing my original song

Verse II
I’ve made my way across the river in search of insider knowledge and means
I see the tourist with his head in his hand but he seems lost in ethereal dreams
And now I’ve reached the inner circle and seek the wisdom from the lords of the ring
But truth it seems cannot be understood without the scepter of the chosen king

Chorus

Bridge
And now I hear in the distance Euphorion’s cry
And the triumphant wisdom in his father’s design
Struggle for freedom and never back down
And make music from the chaos in the pandemonium sound

Chorus

Refrain

Verse I
The actor plays the part and the maestro finds the mark
The predator yearns for his family when his prey defies his lonely heart
The doctor is on call when the heartbeat takes the fall
The poet escapes from reality to find the meaning of it all

Bridge I
Ohh the the journey of the mind’s taken one step at a time
A stairway to a light that never fades
The messenger divine is a child’s tour bus guide
So I must live my life so they’ll be saved

Chorus
Am I leaving or have I arrived?
Am I leaving or have I arrived?
Am I leaving or have I arrived?
I believe that I’m leaving and I’ve finally arrived

Verse II
The artist searches for what the businessman ignores
The songwriter’s mind is never at full rest until he settles his original score
The gambler pays off debts and the madman never forgets
The exit door is an entranceway to the promised land of no regrets

Bridge II
Ohh the stairway’s summit sign gives the reason to the rhyme
That life is precious currency to give
So in my heart and mind as a messenger divine
I must live the life I dreamed I’d live

Chorus

Refrain
Oh as a messenger protagonist
The envoy for the Novelist
I must live the life I dreamed I’d live

Verse I
Remember who I am
Remember who I am
My life has given you a memory
But my dream remains in your hands
At times like this I know
It’s hard to understand
So think of me when you can
And remember who I am

Verse II
Remember yesteryear
Our hopes our dreams and our fears
We shared a journey and a destiny
And we shared the laughs and the tears
At times like this I know
It’s painful to let go
So tend to the master plan
And remember who I am

Chorus
And I know that it’s hard when our heroes are gone
When their closets are empty and their music unsung
But the sand that is blown by the wind and the rain
Will be mountains tomorrow to climb once again
In the eyes of a child the road never comes to an end

Verse III
Remember who I am
I’m your partner I’m your friend
In a lifetime of so many memories
It’s just you and me in the end
At times like this I know
It’s so hard to understand
But the wind now blows the sand
So remember who I am

Verse I
Beautiful angel has colored my life
The touch of this woman turns ev’ry shadow into light
I’m hoping she understands I’ve been lost like a ship at sea
I’m hoping she understands that her love will set me free
Cause my beautiful angel colors my world in Brilliant Shades of Gray

Verse II
Beautiful angel returns to my life
With flower and scepter brings back the world I left behind
I’m hoping he understands I’ve been lost in a mystery
I’m hoping he understands that his love will set me free
Cause my beautiful angel colors my world in Brilliant Shades of Gray

Bridge I
And now I have my ticket for the skyride
And so I’ll take my turn and wait in line for you

Chorus
Oh there’s a time there’s a place
There’s a hell for people who wait
It seems that I better seize the moment and see the world in shades of gray
It’s au revoir to glory days and the chains of comfortable ways
Now it’s a world of awakening eyes to a brand new day
These days of the Brilliant Shades of Gray

Bridge II
Long ago I set out on the journey of my life
I thought that destiny was a stairway to ascend
But now I know that destiny is a dream that never fades
When I see the world in Brilliant Shades Of Gray

Verse III
Out of the darkness
And into the light
We’ll climb every mountain
We’ll sing the ocean’s lullaby
You are the messenger sent to help me find my way again
You are the precious homeland where the wand’ring finally ends
And my beautiful angel colors my world in
Brilliant Shades of Gray

Bridge I

Chorus

Verse I
I am a lady
I am a princess
I am a queen
I am an errant knight on a quest for all of your dreams
I’m strong enough but I’m sometimes afraid
I will always be there when you call out my name
Will you know what I need will you understand
I will do the best that I can

Bridge I
So teacher teacher can you show me the way can you tell me what to do and say
Can you help me with my homework and my fate

Chorus
So teacher smile this is the moment of your life
Everything I do and say reflects your love and time
And the way you touch my life
Teacher smile this is the moment of your life
Teacher smile for your moment tonight

Verse II
I am a captain
I am a shepherd
I am a man
I am your comfort
I am your beacon
I am your friend
I win and I lose I’m up and I’m down
But you can always be certain that I’ll be around
Will you stand by my side will you always believe
You can put your trust in me

Bridge I

Chorus

Bridge II
And I work hard and I do right for today
And I dream every night knowing tomorrow comes what may
And when I take my place
I won’t be alone, I won’t be afraid
Cause teacher you’ll be with me all the way

Chorus

Chorus
Walk with me in the land of ORPHAEA
Walk with me on this high and winding road
Where disease is no more
And suffering’s unaccounted for
Cause we live our lives as metaphor
Walk again with me in ORPHAEA
And together friend (and together friend)
We are safe again (we are safe again)
Once more

Chorus

Refrain
Walk with me in the land of ORPHAEA

We are safe again (we are safe again)
We will see again
And dream again
