THIS IS MY HEAVEN Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer
(Verse I)
Don’t wait
Don’t hold the gates
Don’t ask me why.
No jewels
Fold up the wings
I’ll not take flight.
(Chorus)
Heaven
Can wait until
This love has broken me.
This my,
My paradise
Withhold eternity.
(Verse II)
Sweet hymn
The candles dim
Vacate the pews.
No harps
Reach for the gin
Ignore the cues.
(Chorus)

HEROES FALL by Samuel Ferrer
Standing-in-rows, they-line-up-again
March, rhythm, politicians
Chins in-the-air, they-come-in-legions
Heroes-won’t-last if-they-try-to-join-in.
Cars, diamonds, all-that-you-spend
Step through-this-door and we-come-to-the-end
Pass through-the-place where others-gave-in.
This-will-go-down beyond-what-they-intend.
(Pre-Chorus)
False. Vows. Dim. Eyes. Stone. Heart. Glass. Lies.
(Chorus)
Heroes fall
Kings grow old
Poets cry as lovers go
How the edge
Of a knife
Cuts right through all.
Don’t look back
Fist and blade
You were found and you were made
All was right
All went wrong
(you’ve) found your call.
(Bridge)
Leave far behind the angels you once knew
And behold the ways of men.
(Coda)
Leave far behind angels
Leave far behind angels
And behold the ways of men.

THIS IS NOW OUR HOME Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer
(Verse I)
Far Star
Improbable
Lonesome way
Feels too long.
New Sun
Young blue Earth
Firm ground
Have we found….
(Chorus)
This is now our home
The leagues that count to here
Left nowhere to return
And all that we held dear.
This is now our home
Our genesis undone
No stories of return
Our past a different sun.
(Verse II)
Wake me
Golden light
Raise me
And fill me.
Seedling
Springing
Youngling
You are near.
(Chorus)

Rock, Moon, Rain, Sea by Samuel Ferrer
1.
Here we are again. You gazin’ at the whirling flames. Me gazin’ at you.
You want to know how this all came to be: the night, the fire, you, me.
You speak sadly of all those words you carry around in your back-pack: quarks, string-theory, helium, carbon, and gravity.
And I tell you again, these things came not to be by scientific sorcery.
No, you see, the god Vishnu churned holy milk until the world was born. And the churn was slow and it was funky.
(Chorus)
Rock. Moon. Rain. Sea. Star. Dust. You. Me.
2.
So let us speak of clouds and let us speak of rain.
Let us speak of how the universe made such ever-expanding gains.
Let us speak of fire. Let us think of wind.
The mysteries of the gods, the grievances of men.
(Chorus)
Rock. Moon. Rain. Sea. Star. Dust. You. Me.
3.
So let us speak of clouds and let us speak of rain.
Let us speak of how the scientific universe made such holy gains.
Hook my little finger, but do not hold on tight.
Just let me know you’re here and walk me through this night.

SET APART Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer
(Verse I)
Dear old friend
Our school days
Long since past
Let ‘em fade.
We speak kind
But if I may:
All this time
We’ve behaved.
(Verse II)
You set aside
The rub of days.
You hold false tongues
And silence their brays.
You’re set apart,
The truth all these years:
No one can match
The standard you’ve made.
(Chorus)
You’ve seen my heart bleed:
Imagine how I’d feel
If you were to marry.
Don’t ask me to meet another lover with my name.
Stop and read my eyes:
Imagine how I’d feel
If you were to marry.
Time to rub your eyes
And reach for what’s so near to you.
(Verse III)
So stroke my hair
but not like before.
Reach behind
and close the door.
Use those lips
to close my eyes.
Take me now
Here I lie.
(Chorus)
