Carry On 04:22
Finally get to rest these bones Finally release these arms Rest these feet that walk too long Time to mend up my heart Say goodbye to those who part Times will end for new ones to start But don’t let time steal your love away Or suffocate the things of yesterday Carry on And let your heart grow strong No one’s ready to leave behind The beautiful things that they find But time will come to an end for them But don’t let time steal your love away Or suffocate the things of yesterday Carry on And let your heart grow strong Oh, oh, oh… Carry on And let your heart grow strong

Dylan 04:40
Why'd you run away from the life you had From the life that you'd been given Was the distant voice of destiny calling you To escape from your prison Seventeen times a man, sixteen times a fool What was eating at you? Did a seed of desire for freedom inside you grow Each time they brought you back home? Each time they brought you back home? Oh Dylan, where do you begin? Oh Dylan, where do you begin? It's hard for the songbird to find his way When the absent mind of sorrow settles in Like a cold sheet of ice that lays upon the winters ground It blankets over the last of the flame As the weary wanderer walks through the night He closes his eyes to listen To the whistling midnight song that will only play For those who have lost their way For those who have lost their way Oh Dylan, where do you begin? Oh Dylan, where do you begin? The ship of time is sailing across the sea The sea that is your life Will your ship make it to the sunny shores of certainty Or sink before your ship comes in? Or sink before your ship comes in? Oh Dylan, where do you begin? Oh Dylan, where do you begin?

Little Bird 04:35
I have, I have seen today A little bird, it flew my way It said to me ‘Where’re you going to?' Because I, I will follow you So, take me to where I’ve never been Show me all the things I’ve never seen I will follow you wherever you go I’ll be your Little bird Come with me, I will show you how To find your wings and float around We’ll see the skies and we’ll see the trees Find you a home in beneath the leaves I’ll take you to where you’ve never been Show you all the things you’ve never seen I’ll take you wherever I go You’ll be my Little bird Please don’t go, don’t fly away Will I ever see you again? Even though I knew this time would come It’s still not easy to let you go Let me go with you I could fly with you Let me fly with you I’ll be with you wherever you go Cause you’re my Little bird
