i've been around the sun and i'm not the only one i haven't seen the ground i take a look around The force of gravity so deep inside of me i can't escape myself there's no one here to tell If only the light could live through the night I could see where I've been The more that you need love the more that you bleed love keep on chasing light When the moment arrives gotta reach for the sky keep on chasing light Been around the sun and I'm not the only one I haven't seen the ground take a look around Look around, look around, look around Look around I'm moving and I'm falling to the ground I'm fading and I'm fighting with the sound Look around Somebody let me go Somebody tell me no Somebody get me home Somebody get me home I'm moving I'm falling I'm fading i'm fighting Somebody get me home If only the light could live through the night I could see where I've been If only the light could live through the night i could see where I'm going If only the light could live through the night I'm moving, I'm falling I'm fading, I'm fighting I could see where I'm going (Farrell/Bissett)

Radiowave 04:47
Love's immaterial anything can change the tide look in the mirror what you fear is deep inside Everything is relative everything you need is now look for your answers you won't rest til you find peace of mind GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE Can you feel the sun? Fear is imperial reaching for the things you hide makes you surrender breaks the will of love and pride But everything is relative when everything you need is gone go look for your answers you won't rest til you find peace of mind (Farrell)

Lightchaser 04:55
Look in my eyes and you see that i am ready waiting for tomorrow  as the sun goes down Nothing is left and the world is unsteady everything around me on uneven ground CHANGE MY LIFE THE SKY IS FALLING CLOSE MY EYES THE SUN IS CALLING I'LL JUST SET MY COURSE AND PLAN MY FLIGHT I'M JUST CHASING LIGHT CHASING LIGHT In to the light with the hope for my being running from a future that is fading fast Follow my heart as it reaches for meaning just to give me solace while i bide my time while i bide my time    (Farrell)

In close ties your heart speaks with fashion of all kinds Though mortal your eyes weep with passion on our minds Kept in democracy soon starts to fade the winner is losing to others persuade? From who’s side will I stand from your side will you run? I’ve often looked after remember that laughter? And weak are the times when we left you behind and closer the ties when your heart speaks your mind when your heart speaks your mind when your heart speaks you're mine THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB WE REACH FROM BEHIND IN TROUBLES WE'VE SEEN AT LEAST TRY TO LEAN And all those times you helped me held me and all those times THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB WE REACH FROM BEHIND IN TROUBLES WE'VE SEEN AT LEAST TRY TO LEAN And all those times you helped me held me and all those times WEAK ARE THE TIMES WHEN WE LEFT YOU BEHIND CLOSER THE TIES WHEN YOUR HEART SPEAKS YOUR MIND THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB AND ALL THOSE TIMES YOU HELPED ME (Bissett)

In to the ether days pass us by is time killing us or are we killing time Heart feels the rhythm head in the sky you try to believe that you’ve tried to decide BUILD FOR THE FUTURE BREAK WITH THE PAST EVERYTHING’S CHANGING SO FAST IT’S YOUR DECISION IT’S WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU JUST WANT TO BE FREE Crash the horizon over the line signal the end if you think you have time In to the abstract taking your flight look for the truth in available light ONE SUN SHINES IN THE DISTANCE FEEDS YOUR RESISTANCE CHANGES YOUR INNER PHILOSOPHY -build for the future -break with the past RISING FOR THE HOPE OF A NEW DAY YOU JUST WANT TO BE FREE (Farrell)
6.
Looking ahead to the place you began now is the time to believe in your own secret plan Perimeter falls to the shadow of day perception is sharp in no particular way but fades to gray CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT TURN YOUR HEAD YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT -Eventide -Evenfall YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT -Eventide -Evenfall Into the dark with intrepid resolve believe in the hope that the fear is about to dissolve The deeper the courage the deeper the skin the future is where you decide that you want to begin again CLEAR YOUR EYES YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT CHASE THE SKY YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT PROMISE THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT THE END OF DAYS YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT -Eventide -Evenfall YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT (Farrell)

Walls 04:46
Catch the new semantic the truth will set you free take the time to believe again feel the force of gravity Watch the bleak horizon the dark will intervene then you will never know you will never see The sun that shines behind these walls inside BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS Chase the light fantastic the fear is the past Like the time that you ran away fleeting dreams that never last Trapped inside a fortress nowhere to recede So you will never know you will never see the light that shines inside these walls Divide BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS You will never know You will never see You will never know You will never see BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS You will never know BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS You will never see BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS (Farrell/Bissett)

Running Man 07:02
Looking for the key to breaking the code thought inside your eyes about to explode Moving to the void of nothing ahead rushing to the wave of infrared Pushing toward the sun with panic and pain strength is flowing thin like the blood in your veins Everything you know and all that you see breaking in to possibility OPEN UP YOUR EYES AND REACH TO THE SKY YOU’RE BREATHING WITH THE FEAR OF A RUNNING MAN FALLING TO YOUR KNEES YOU SHAKE THE DISEASE YOU’RE REACHING FOR THE SOUND OF CONTACT Knowing that the right is all that you own fleeting is the sight of the world you called home Nothing to connect the future and past standing at the point of contrast CAN YOU HELP ME? CAN YOU HELP ME? REACHING FOR THE SOUND OF CONTACT (Farrell)

Inside the light is a burning sun looking for a moment in time something lingers on the edge of the eye To take a leap to make the jump ready to believe in a sign something calling in back of your mind YOU CAN FIND AN ANSWER YOU RUN OR YOU STAND STILL ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE YOU CAN NEVER SAY IT’S OVERKILL Outside the night a darkened sky hoping that your will is resigned something calling for a blistering light You look ahead you look around feeling for the future design something telling you to put up a fight YOU CAN FIND AN ANSWER YOU RUN OR YOU STAND STILL ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE YOU CAN NEVER SAY IT’S OVERKILL YOU CAN BUILD A FUTURE WITH SPIRIT AND WITH SKILL ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE YOU CAN NEVER BREAK THE SIREN WILL There was a time when all around your life the reasons were the reasons you chase light and if there's no design to what you find the answer is the fear is burning bright (Farrell)
10.
Long ago I tried to find a mystery that hadn’t yet begun Has to be a better path as history is only for the young Wandering into the future feel alive I’m staring at the sun YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL BE THE ONE WHO WILL LEARN IN TIME THAT LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN STARING AT THE SUN YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF THAT LIFE HAS COME UNDONE YOU MAY FIND THAT TIME IS KIND TO ANYONE STARING AT THE SUN Waking for a new beginning feel the air the world is spinning fast So much is in front of me I take a breath and reach ahead at last Inside of my new strategy a new resolve a future for my past WHEREVER YOU GO WHERE EVER YOU ARE YOU'RE ALWAYS CHASING LIGHT YOU REACH FOR THE SUN YOU FOLLOW THE STARS YOU'RE ALWAYS CHASING LIGHT EXTRAORDINARY LIGHT EXTRAORDINARY LIGHT (Farrell)

Samsara 05:55
Circles rolling in my mind days returning to the find a changing member of the only kind no one shall be left behind Playing the role of worthless part believing the worth of a worthless heart we're stuck in the wood as an aimless dart we're destined to relive another start I'll lose my arms to win this fight I'll lose my eyes to gain the sight there's nothing left or kept on tight won't waste my breath on you tonight Walking limb from limb I'm moving no distractions I'm not grooving Where is the light there is no pathway why don't we meet halfway? SAMSARA Walking limb from limb I'm moving Where's the light there is no pathway WAITING FOR THE BIG DECISION WHEN WILL ANYBODY LISTEN? WAITING FOR THE BIG DECISION WHEN WILL ANYBODY LISTEN? (Bissett)

1. Rise When the moment arrives keep on chasing light Waiting for the big decision And when the moment arrives keep on chasing light 2. The Moment Arrives Find the reason for the fear tell yourself to get away from here there’s a moment wide awake reaching for the dream you make Disappearing through the sky find a way to tell yourself its right feel the system start to break running from the big mistake Hope for love Hope for light Hope to have the strength to make the flight Hope’s the freedom hope creates So hope to make the great escape THE MORE THAT YOU BLEED LOVE THE MORE THAT YOU NEED LOVE IT’S ALREADY BEGUN AND WHEN THE MOMENT ARRIVES YOU’VE GOT TO REACH FOR THE SUN 
KEEP ON CHASING KEEP ON CHASING LIGHT Build a future in your eyes tell yourself it’s time to say goodbye Big decisions you decide Time is never on our side Hope for love Hope for light Hope to have the strength to make the flight Hope’s the freedom hope creates So hope to make the great escape THE MORE THAT YOU BLEED LOVE THE MORE THAT YOU NEED LOVE IT’S ALREADY BEGUN AND WHEN THE MOMENT ARRIVES YOU’VE GOT TO REACH FOR THE SUN 
KEEP ON CHASING KEEP ON CHASING LIGHT 3. Flight When the moment arrives keep on chasing light (Farrell)

about

Chasing Light

This theme was inspired by true events in my life, and each song actually represents real feeling and escapism from that experience. Change in life is a big ordeal, looking for truths, looking for a better place, looking for light is all we can do when we are faced with such a turn.
