01 - Is this what the world is coming to?

Music & Lyrics: Thomas “TJ” Janak

January 2015

Is this what the world is coming to? Holding out on love for me and you?

Tragedies in motion all across the TV screen

Devoid of all emotion, scenes of hate I’ve never seen before

All the talk of peace and love has failed to fill our hearts

While keeping peace seems hard enough, life’s falling apart quite quickly

All the talk of peace and love has failed to fill our hearts

While keeping peace seems hard enough, life’s falling apart quite quickly

Is this what the world is coming to? Holding out on love for me and you?

Tragedies in motion all across the TV screen

Devoid of all emotion, scenes of hate I’ve never seen before

02 - Rainbow in the sky

Music & Lyrics: Thomas “TJ” Janak

January 2015

You watch TV or read a book ‘cause you don’t dare to look

At the wonders of the world high above us like a bird

There’s a rainbow in the sky, all the colours shining bright

And if you or I shall die, it will guide us through the night

We have often been told about the love the sky may hold

In many stories of old they talk about a path of gold

There’s a rainbow in the sky, all the colours shining bright

And if you or I shall die, it will guide us through the night

There’s a rainbow, there’s a rainbow

You watch TV or read a book ‘cause you don’t dare to look

At the wonders of the world high above us like a bird

There’s a rainbow in the sky, all the colours shining bright

And if you or I shall die, it will guide us through the night

There’s a rainbow, there’s a rainbow

There’s a rainbow

03 - Fire

Music & Lyrics: Thomas “TJ” Janak

January 2015

When you’re playing with fire you can’t feel the heat

As its burning through you from the inside

As your senses go numb and your mind goes blank

You will open new doors but they won’t always bring you back

Fire – eternal flame of passion

Fire – it cannot be controlled (2x)

When you’re playing with fire you can’t feel the heat

As its burning through you from the inside

When you’re playing with fire you can’t feel the heat

As its burning through you from the inside

As your senses go numb and your mind goes blank

You will open new doors but they won’t always bring you back

Fire – eternal flame of passion

Fire – it cannot be controlled (2x)

04 - The love in my heart

Music & Lyrics: Thomas “TJ” Janak

January 2015

I’ve had enough of everything, it’s time to break free

I will follow my heart for it knows where I want to be

All the books I have read have only held me back

The deeper I go inside of me the less I feel regret

Freedom is a tricky thing, so fleeting yet so eternal

If live has taught me anything its to make the best of it

I can truly feel the love in my heart

And I can do anything there’s no holding back

I can do anything, there’s no regret

I’ve had enough of everything, it’s time to break free

I will follow my heart for it knows where I want to be

All the books I have read have only held me back

The deeper I go inside of me the less I feel regret

the less I feel regret
