Take It Back
04:21
|
|||
|
your every word was meant to clear the grey
but i couldn’t listen, i just pushed you away
but you don’t want to take it back no, no
in my shame, i’m to blame
if i don’t want to take your slack
your every step behind all that i do
now it’s over only i did not come through
what do we do with the good boy?
don’t want to change my view
so what do we do with the good boy?
make him lower his head, too
‘cause…
your every breath taken to ease my own
but i left you empty handed, my grateful return

Ten Thousand Roses
03:14
|
|||
|
don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow
‘cause trouble’s all you’ll find, yeah
and peace comes after sorrow
within time
when ten thousand roses
wouldn’t make it better than this
and every time i fall and it shows
You are there to say, You’re bigger
listen to your heart
and hear not what they say
when it falls apart
anyway
opened my eyes so i could see
showed me a brighter day
oh, my Lord, how can it be?
You took my pain away
so small and insignificant
when i give it up to You
i try so hard but i just can’t
do the things You do

Every Single Day
03:07
|

|
every single day
you wake up to find
your peace of mind
has flown away
every single day
what you thought you knew
is proving you
the other way
every single day
like a leaf falls from a tree
-like the thought that just left me
you’ll keep running
you’ll keep hiding
it’s the way you live
every single day
every single day
you reach to the sky
but you don’t know why
it is your pray
every single day
you hide in the shade,
let your hope fade
as others say
it’s another day
it’s another night
you live, you learn
you laugh, you fight
you say your hope is gone
you walk right out the door
well, put your trust in God
‘cause that’s all that He’s waiting for
that’s all He’s waiting for
you
He’s waiting for you

Prayer Song
03:14
|
|||
|
in the quiet of the storm
i lit a candle, said a wish or two
do you think out loud like i do?
i said a prayer for you
you taught me how to love myself
and then how i could love anyone else
do you have regrets like i do?
i said a prayer for you
and i thought i had a friend
but when i needed them, it was the end
do you feel all alone like i do?
i said a prayer for you
the sun set, the moon is high
i can’t sleep without my lullaby
do you whisper songs in the dark like i do?
i said a prayer for you
and i have peace you try to find
‘cause i know all my hopes aren’t just in my mind
do you run to your dreams like i do?
i said a prayer for you
and you’re just like me
and i’m just like you
so i said a prayer for you

Stutter
06:50
|
|||
|
sweet distraction had left him so hollow
that his melancholy motif echoed
uncharmed by his fairy tale life
thought he’d cut to the bottom line
one shot fired
wake, sleeping God
where are you now?
speak, silent God
‘cause i need you now
write these words, retrace the lines
i’ve been through this too many times
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts
and Your ways are not my own
i stutter to explain this love
so words will never know
on hallowed ground beneath your feet
a part of you that you’ll never get to meet
born on her deathbed -years gone by
know you’ve missed out but don’t know why
motherless child
two praying hands -fingers entwined
oh but the only voice i hear is mine
so where’s my proof that you’re real?
must i beg, please reveal?
while i’m still here
even under dark clouds
tree branches reach for You
until the sky splits open wide
i’ll be waiting, too
i’m beginning to see
that the deaf man
oh, to understand
must fix his eyes on me
surrender
be still and know that I Am God
be still and know that I AM
and I have brought you this far

David Get Your Lyre
04:46
|
|||
|
scarecrow, what do you know ‘bout me?
and my six-string comforting me?
i’m safe for sight but not for touch, no
so could this intimate faith of mine be too much?
oh no, oh no
david get your lyre
it’s coming over me
that same old demon
that don’t want you to sing
(so be sure to sing)
when i’m done, what is it gonna do?
but sink with the copper wish that i threw for you?
oh no, oh no
seems we’ve all got something to prove, yeah
but i can’t remember what makes me move
oh no, oh no
with all that you are
-but you don’t want to be
of the hopes and the scars
that you don’t want seen
i won’t say a thing
if you sing
scarecrow, what do you know ‘bout me?
said, scarecrow, what do you know ‘bout me?

hey, hey
what do you think about the world you’re in?
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
hey, hey
what do you think about the life you live?
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
and it all will wash away
break to pieces, never stay
burn to ashes, hide from day
when it crumbles
hey, hey
what are you giving to the world you’re in?
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
hey, hey
giving your soul that’s from this life you live
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
how deep? how wide?
-is the love of the One who made you
He sees inside
and all that matters to you
so nothing else should matter
hey, hey
what do you do about the world you’re in?
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
hey, hey
what do you do about the life you live?
hey, hey hey, hey yeah
there’s nothing left
nothing left but
we

Maybe

this is forever -maybe
could be never, baby
this love’s for real -maybe
can’t help but feel this way, baby
i, i would walk the wire
for you...anything i’d do
whoa help me find a cure
‘cause i’m still not sure
not so sure
anymore
we, we were meant to be
probably...love eventually
more, more love than before
must be fate...why do i hesitate?

Sky Painter
04:27
|

|
i am stumbling
or so it seems
i don’t know anything
i am wearing down
i’m wanting out
it’s closing in on me
well, i can’t take it
i want to give up the fight
when will it subside?
someone
-anyone but me
somewhere
-anywhere but here
somehow i’m where i’m supposed to be
this night
that passes us by
into a sunrise
once more we wake to find
a new painted sky
‘cause Somebody opened our eyes
i like to think it’s me
holding all these things, no
show my meaning
i’m a fraud i believe
how else could this be? yeah
little old me

Blackball Tragedies
06:03
|
|||
|
i sing to the "sinner" ostracized
we have committed genocide
see through us
it’s been too long
a blackball tragedy,
i wish you wouldn’t be
but we’ve pushed ‘till you’re gone
what have we done?
and who are we to say?
didn’t know the chosen one
was the one we threw away
forgive our pride -hypocritical
as we learn to love -unconditional
see through us
to where we belong
hey, blackball tragedy,
there’s One greater in me
who’ll do you no wrong
just look away
don’t want to know their names
they make you feel afraid
but deep inside they feel the same
curl my condemning finger back
all unhumbled is erased
recognizing we all lack,
my hateful hands become Love’s embrace
-extending arms of a higher grace

Blur
03:52
|

|
stripe, stripe on the road
where we’re going
no one knows
but i can’t care tonight
and the world’s a blur
outside, the world’s a blur
so what am i to do?
if it’s all the same to you
i’ll be dreaming, too
(yeah)
tip tap of the rain
nothing can shake this sleepy shade
and i’ve been hypnotized
when dark nights
bring dark dreams
i’ll be there
i’ll be there
(yeah)
day’s taken its toll
but i’ve got an angel and a hand to hold
so i’ll be fine tonight
and the world’s a blur
outside the world’s a blur
blur
(yeah)
