Cut me a cross out of that tree Hand me the nails so I can bleed Tell me I’m lost show me you’re free Render my sails and head out to sea I’ll carry a wave if I can And build you a wall made out of sand I’m holding a squall in the skin of my hands I’ll carry a wave if I can I’ve weighed in the cost of what I can be And headed ashore for what I believe Where pennies and thoughts were tossed in the deep I buried my gold in spite of conceit I’ll carry a wave if I can And build you a wall made out of sand I’m holding a squall in the skin of my hands I’ll carry a wave if I can You know some times I can tend to get carried away When the thundering clouds keep on bringing the rain But I’m feeling as though I’m a castaway in my own prime And then sometimes I feel like a piece of debris Though I’m nearing the shore I’m still caught in the weeds And I’m searching for lighthouses far from the banks of my mind I’ll carry a wave if I can And build you a wall made out of sand I’m holding the squall in the skin of my hands I’ll carry a wave if I can

When times negate I live for the hour. Tell me who will climb to the tower of pain. We live such a dangerous game. Hey now who holds the key. They have the power to set me free from this place. I live such a dangerous game. How can we live? When we’re filled up with doubts and disturbances. My mind tells me truths, There’s got to be UNITY here somewhere. But I never can tell who is on my side anyway. Are you with me now? Can you create or can you imagine, Who paints the sky or have you forgotten this time. We live such a dangerous game. Don’t be misguided by your peers. Just watch the sky, until it clears of this haze. We all live such a dangerous game. How can we live? We’re filled up with doubts and disturbances. My mind tells me truths That there’s got to be unity here somewhere But I never can tell who is on my side anyway. Are you with me now?

Baby, my heart is breaking And there's no hope, no hope inside The sky is an ocean of darkness, ooh No-one, no-one, no-one to hold me in the long lonely night (Tell me) how can I, how can I forget you Oh, how can I go to sleep When I know that I love you I love you and always will (Heart be still) heart be still (Heart be still) heart be still (Heart be still) heart be still (Heart be still) oh yes When you, when you are lonely And you're feeling so blue Think of (think of) the true love I gave to you You know, baby you don't know I gave my love, my arms are, they're waiting (Come home) come home (Come home) come home (Come home) oh, come home My arms are waiting (Heart) heart be still now (Heart be still) maybe, maybe, she'll come back (Heart) oh, if you ever want me, if you ever need me (Heart be still) listen, listen, ohh (Heart be still) heart...... (Heart be still) (Heart) (Heart be still) (Heart be still) oh be still, oh yes (Heart be still) ah, ah, ah My arms are waiting Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaa Ha, haaa, haaa, haaaa Haaa, heart be still

Cold days, long nights Seems like there was nowhere to hide Cold wind blew right through Left you feeling empty inside Here’s the morning after the storm Here’s that rainbow you’ve been looking for The storm is over I think it’s over I know it’s over now Warm hands reaching for you As you greet a brand new day Warm hearts loving you Each step of your way Now you see you’re not on your own After feeling so alone The storm is over I think it’s over I know it’s over now Lift your head the storm is over Feel the sun upon your face Spread your wings it’s time to fly Onto another place The storm is over The storm is over The storm is over now The storm is over I think it’s over I know it’s over now For every drop of sorrow that’s fallen Something new has grown For every lost tomorrow that’s calling Another fear has flown It’s up to you how you see it all Half empty or more than half full The storm is over I think it’s over I know it’s over now Lift your head the storm is over Feel the sun upon your face Spread your wings it’s time to fly Onto another place The storm is over The storm is over The storm is over now The storm is over I think it’s over I know it’s over now

Her loving baby came to her one night In the middle of the month of May And she don't know why they come And they do not stay Every Venus and Mars; every spinning star Sooner or later fade away And she don't know why they come And. they do not stay Oceans will rise continents fall as sure as night follows day And she don't know why they come And they do not stay

Remember the time when you were mine and you promised 'Always there'? Because I know that I do. All our days, turned to haze and vanished in the air. I feel like we have too. There isn't anything baby that we can do. Maybe we don't realise it's over now between me and you. Rereading the old letters that you sent only makes it so much harder to accept after all this time, of being only mine, I feel my heart has been wrecked. (It's all over) There isn't anything baby that we can do. (it's all over) Maybe we don't realise it's over now between me and you. (It's all over) There isn't anything baby that we can do. (Don't say it's over) (it's all over) Maybe we don't realise it's over now between me and you. Oh, won't you let me prove it to you my love is true? I just need one last time - another chance to make it all fine. I need you back for all my time. It's not over - It's not over now. (It's all over) Is there anything baby that we can do? (Don't say it's over, we can work it out) (It's all over) Maybe we don't realise it's over now between me and you. (Don't say it's over, we can work it out) (It's all over) Is there anything baby that we can do? (Don't say it's over, we can work it out) (it's all over) It just can't be true it's over now between me and you. (Don't say it's over, we can work it out) Not over now. Not over now. Not over now.

about

This is the second of two compilations of songs donated by various artists from around the world for the benefit of those who were impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

100% of all monies collected will be funneled to All Hands Volunteers (hands.org), which kept costs down to the point that 82% of all funds collected went directly to their efforts. More importantly, they allow us to specify that the monies we are able to give to them should go to Sandy victims rather than into a pool of funds from which they draw for their portfolio of relief projects.

Spread the word! The more people that hear about this, the more of an impact we all can have for those who have lost and suffered so much! If you'd like to stay up to date with the latest news on Volume 2, funds raised, etc. be sure to find and Like us on Facebook:
