The Optimist 03:15
lyrics
buy track
The Optimist Katey Laurel Absolutes Are nothing more than weary truths That try to tell us what to do And when to change our minds And broken hearts Are nothing more than false starts That never should have gone so far It happens all the time These days I say That everything I need Is everywhere in everything I see Fantasy Is what the world wants to be No one seems completely free Living in their skin Open doors Are what we all are looking for The little bird is caged no more So let the love begin To change the words we speak To make the heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat These days I say That everything I need Is everywhere in everything I see And these days I know That everywhere I go Love will find me Love will guide me home These days I say That everything I need Is everywhere in everything I see And these days I know That everywhere I go Love will find me Love will guide me Love will find me Love will guide me Love will find me Love will guide me home

Hurricane C Katey Laurel and Dave Hedin Just off the coast the waves are crashin’ Sirens call us to the rocks Everywhere the lights are flashin’ Maybe we have fallen Maybe we should call the whole thing off This is dangerous But we need to feel the rush I keep sayin’ I can’t keep playin’ this game, this game But I keep finding myself inside of the same the same Hurricane Oh Oh Oh The wind is swirling all around us We watch all the worlds collide But maybe this is where the love is Baby wrap around me, keep me safe and sound inside This is dangerous But we need to feel the rush I keep sayin I can’t keep playin this game, this game But I keep finding myself inside of the same ol same Hurricane Watch all the stars align Light up a warning sign We can keep each other warm It takes me and you We can make it through We are the eye of this Perfect Storm I keep sayin I can’t keep playin this game, this game But I keep finding myself inside of the same ol same I keep sayin I can’t keep playin this game, this game But I keep finding myself inside of the same ol same Hurricane Oh Oh Hurricane

Only Human 04:35

Only Human Katey Laurel Stars still shine Planets spin ‘round We’ve come this far to find All that we’ve found And we’re not lost We never have been Just breathin’ out And breathin’ in Save your breath I can feel you breathin’ I can hear the beatin’ of your heart This is how We listen to each other You don’t have to tell me who you are We’re only human after all Love takes time Time becomes space The road unwinds At it’s own pace Every step Every great fall Leads us to the edge Of climbing that wall All the stones that we’ve built between us Cannot hold what has come to free us Chorus The world is light and dark with never-ending shadow this war is of the heart That only love can conquer We all are what we are We all know one another We look so beautiful When we come together I can hear you I can hear you I can hear you I can feel you I can feel you Can you feel me too Chorus

All the Way Home Katey Laurel There’s a place I’d like to find Between darkness and the light Where we can be together again I see you sitting by the tree Of Eden waiting there for me You look lighter than a feather, my friend I am on my way you know On my way, I have finally found the road To the rising sun, Thy Kingdom coming, oh Oh All the way, all the way home Bricks of solid gold Pave the final stretch of road I am walking through the fire to you Would you meet me in between All the wakefulness and dreaming Where hearts are never tired or blue Somewhere beyond all the stars and moon I’ll see you soon Chorus X2 All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way All the way, all the way home

Periscope I’m barely breathing Here in my submarine No oxygen Can you see me Floating just beneath My thin skin Life is more than This war we’re wagin’ I put up my periscope Looking for a sign of hope A sign of hope Put up my periscope Show me a sign of wonder Put up my periscope Looking for a sign of hope Don’t drag me under Under cover These waves of doubt Hold me down But through the water I can see the sun Shining down No more losin’ All we’ve been through and Chorus Bridge There’s no love like What we both might find When we come up for air

Heavy Katey Laurel Sadness is a stone Go on and let her fly Angel skin and bone Wings that walk through white flashing lights This is not her last goodbye Heavy Heavy Heavy Why’s it got to be Heavy Heavy Heavy Why’s it got to be so Heavy Sister can you hear The song that was made for you Whisper in your ear We are here to carry you through So we can feel what you do Chorus Everything gets harder Everything gets darker before the dawn

Dark Days 03:43
lyrics

Dark Days When everybody feels cold And nothings real enough to hold All the street signs change, but we still get home Can anybody really go Beyond a a doubt’s shadow Where there are different names for the same road On my dark days Love I’m in outer space I’m not strong enough I can barely see your face When I’m a wreck I don’t expect you to understand What it’s like when the light goes out inside my head But after I have bled out every drop of the blackest sky I will heal, I will feel What it is to be alive On my dark days Sometimes my glow flickers out The oil’s low, the flame dies down But my heart keeps beating ‘til you come ‘round Nothing steals me like you do From the fog I’m fighting through I thought I lost you, but now I’m found On my dark days Love I’m in outer space I’m not strong enough I can barely see your face When I’m a wreck I don’t expect you to understand What it’s like when the light goes out inside my head But after I have bled out every drop of the blackest sky I will heal, I will feel What it is to be alive I am still alive Hit the ground and feel the sunrise Burn off the doubt and then I realize Chorus

Thanks for Loving Me C 2011 Katey Laurel You and me, we found just a little Piece of heaven right in the middle Of everyday This is how I know the answer You’re the one I’ve always prayed for Let’s stay this way Ch: Thanks for lovin’ me, lovin’ me You are all I see Right in front of me It’s where I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Thanks for lovin’ me, lovin’ me I give you all of me, all of me You are everything I could ever need, ever need, ever need Thanks for lovin’ me The day I thought would never get here Looks like it’s bright and clear And here we are, heart to heart Forever starts this moment All our dreamin’, wishin’, hopin’ Upon a star, seems so far Away, I know now Oh just how Much love I can feel You made it real Chorus

Battlesong c 2012 Katey Laurel I've been on the road so long This is all I can afford to give Just a sad and lonely battlesong Of a soldier marching in the war to live Pick 'em up and put 'em down My soul’s worn thinner than my smile These boots were made to cover ground I think I’d like to lay ‘em down awhile You won't let the sun go down again You remind me who I've always been Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong No more battlesongs Worn and weary, here I stand Your open arms are all I'm longing for I leave behind the foreign lands So glad to finally wash up on your shore You won't let the sun go down again You remind me who I've always been Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong No more battlesongs Bridge: I see buildings, houses down the street Friendly strangers where we used to meet And it feels like a reunion of the souls I'll greet someday All the ones I passed along the way I am coming Coming home I am coming Coming home I am coming Coming home You won't let the sun go down again You remind me who I've always been Just a hometown hero coming back to be where I belong cause you won't let the sun go down again You remind me who I've always been

Beautiful World Katey Laurel and Aaron Espe 2012 What if all the constellations were railway stations I’d buy us a ticket to the Northern Star And once we got up there we’d look down at the people Looking up with their telescopes to where we are And we’d say Oh what a beautiful world we live in What a beautiful world we’ve been given What a beautiful, beautiful world Then the conductor would say “Next stop Orion” We’d wave out the window at the moon way below Step onto the platform and we’d hand them our passports Collect all our luggage and we’d say “Hello” But a postcard from the giftshop and we’d mail it home Oh what a beautiful world we live in What a beautiful world we’ve been given What a beautiful, beautiful world Oh what a beautiful world we live What a beautiful world we’ve been given What a beautiful, beautiful world
