HOME John Flynn Lyrics and Music 11/28/2011 Intro Can't find home Can't find home Verse 1 Life is like a desert without a home Can't find home Aimless direction no where to go Can't find home Find directions to get you back Can't find home The further you stray it goes dark to black Can't find home I can't find Can't find home Verse 2 Searching the distance to see the light Can't find home Shining brightly in the dark of night Can't find home Can see it still shining along the way Can't find home But the light gets dimmer each passing day Can't find home I can't Find Can't find home Chorus Spent my time working my life Doesn't matter if you can't find the light path where you belong Home Can't find home I can't find Can't find home Verse 3 Clueless people giving bad advice Can't find home Their souls are dark cold as ice Can't find home No moral compass to show the way Can't find home And they keep coming back every day Can't find home I can't find Can't find home Chorus Spent my time working my life Doesn't matter if you can't find the light Path where you belong Home Can't find home I can't find Can't find home Chorus Ending Home Can't find Home I can't find Can't find Home To the East (To the East)a direction where I go In the darkness (In the darkness)to save my soul See the light (See the light)to make me whole Take me back (Take me back)back to my home I can't find Can't find home (2x) I can't fine Cant, Find Home

Past Lives Lyrics and Music: John P. Flynn Intro Verse 1 Things remembered, from history's past seems so much better then, the view of always looking back Blinded by, our naive eyes thought we knew whats best for us, we didn't have a clue as why. Verse 2 The generation, of 69 we would teach the world to sing, peace and love for all mankind The 70's came, and the 80's too the 90's have come and gone, they slipped by us too. Chorus We live, in the past (4x) Verse 3 We are born, from others past Handed down a legacy, the future is our pass Old solutions, with no resolve Doom to make the same mistakes, that ruined it before Chorus Because we live in the past We live in the past We live in the past We live in the past Solo Bridge Come and Gone, world solutions Come and Gone, opportunity Come and Gone, understanding Come and Gone, and security Come and Gone, broken friendships Come and Gone, broken dreams Come and Gone, expectations Come and Gone, you and me Chorus Cause we live in the past Our hope and dreams have come and gone, we thought they always last Cause we live in the past We live in the past We live, cause we live, in the past, ah in the past We live, cause we live, in the past, in the past We live, cause we live, in the past, in the past Cause we live, in the past. Solo out.

Heading for the Sun Lyrics and Music: John P. Flynn Intro: Verse 1 I remember one dark night Looked into your eyes felt that you could see right in my soul I tried to play it cool Dark glasses mirror room I was always drawn by your light That was long ago And I’m feeling kind of low I never thought we end up in this place I asked you what is wrong Say nothing but silence roars And the cold polite smile reins supreme Chorus Now I’m on the run Heading for that setting sun And I don’t think I’ll back this way again Try as I may I fail again today So I guess I’ll be running to the sun Verse 2 I made you laugh and smile Made you happy for awhile But I could feel the sadness of your soul I’m not a perfect man And I tried to understand But I really just never had a chance Chorus Now I’m on the run Heading for that setting sun And I don’t think I’ll back this way again Try as I may I fail again today So I guess I’ll be running to the sun Solo: Chorus Now I’m on the run Heading for that setting sun And I don’t think I’ll back this way again Try as I may I fail again today So I guess I’ll be running to the sun Now I’m on the run Heading for that setting sun And I don’t think I’ll back this way again Try as I may I fail again today So I guess I’ll be running to Heading for that setting sun Guess I’ll be running to To late now damage done I guess I’ll be running to the sun Outro Running to the Sun (repeat 8x) Vocals Only Running to the Sun

Looking Out From Within Music and Lyrics: John P. Flynn Verse 1 Here I start another day Doing my best to make my way Working hard, make it tight Try to make it, best tonight Verse 2 Unexplained happenings Distorted sounds feeding in Things about to fall apart Just before the music starts Chorus: Breakdown Out on a limb Shutdown Bigger then sin Looking out from within Verse 2 Starting off counting four What’s the key now what’s the chord? Can’t believe its gone this long Just to pick the perfect song Is it only strange to me confusing lines of harmony This going way to fast I’m not sure that I will last Chorus: Breakdown Out on a limb Shutdown Bigger then sin Looking out from within Solo: Verse 3 Here I stand center stage At a loss, what to play Struggling just to keep in time Lost the tempo in my mind Worried about what they see Everyone please don’t look at me I can’t wait for this to end Shots of tequila with my friends Chorus: Breakdown Out on a limb Shutdown Bigger than sin Looking out from within (repeat 3 times) Ending: Breakdown Shutdown
