“If I knew where the good songs came from, I’d go there more often. It’s a mysterious condition. It’s much like the life of a Catholic nun. You’re married to a mystery.”

– Leonard Cohen

In Time (Live)

The sky is falling
I’m going to tell the king
The sky is falling
I’m going to tell the king
Don’t fall on me
Don’t fall on me
I’m going to tell the king
I’m going to tell the king

Have you ever wondered why?
If the sky fell, would you die?
What would happen then?
Well what would happen then?
Are you smart enough to try and understand?

As the seasons fly, I’m wasting while I try and disappear
If I run, will you let me?
Will you come and get me
To wipe away the fear
You say, in time, in time

If there were no space and time
Would we need a nursery rhyme to make us feel okay
Would we hear it anyway?
Are you tough enough to try and comprehend?

As the seasons fly, I’m wasting while I try and disappear
If I run, will you let me?
Will you come and get me
To wipe away the fear
You say, in time, in time

Once I had a dream that I was someone who was no one
I was falling from the window of the 32nd floor
Everything around me was so blurry in a hurry
I thought I was gone, but I was not

As the seasons fly, I’m wasted while I try and disappear
If I run, will you let me? Will you come and get me
To wipe away the fear

As the seasons fly, I’m wasting while I try and disappear
If I run, will you let me?
Will you come and get me
To wipe away the fear

Oh you say
As the seasons fly, I’m wasting while I try and disappear
If I run, will you let me?
Will you come and get me
To wipe away the fear

Come and wipe away the fear yeah
Wipe away the fear
Yeah Yeah Yeah
You wipe away it all away

Thank you very much

Mystery at Boiling (Live)

I’d like to take the time to realize
To find out how our lives are intwined
But I’m held back from the words
So much that I can’t take its truth
And unwind them

So leave the comfort you’re accustomed to
In your quiet, lonely solitude
So leave all you know

Give me some time, give me room to breathe
You gotta give me some time
To formulate what I need
Because I, I don’t know it all
The more I learn, the less I fall

Well, I can look at you and tell you how
You need to improve, you need to start now
But I never give a second thought to me
I should focus on this, my own ground to plow
Well, I need to

So leave the comfort you’re accustomed to
In your quiet, lonely solitude
So leave all you know

Give me some time, give me room to breathe
You gotta give me some time
To formulate what I need
Because I, I don’t know it all
The more I learn, the less I fall

You follow You follow You follow
You follow them down again

You follow You follow You follow
You follow them down again

You follow You follow You follow
You follow them down again

You follow You follow You follow
You follow them down again

Give me some time, give me room to breathe
You gotta give me some time
To formulate what I need
Because I, I don’t know it all
The more I learn, the less I fall

Well ’cause I, I don’t know it all
The more I learn, the less I fall

If All I Had (Live)

Come see the light of heaven
Open up the sky
Come see the light of heaven
Open up the sky
Come see the light of heaven
Open up the sky
Come see the light of heaven

If all I had were my feet
Oh, as an offering
Then I would dance
If all I had were my hands
Oh, as an offering
Then I would lift them just as high as I could to reach you

Open up the sky, To see the light of heaven
Take a look inside
We’re all the same

If all I had was my voice
Oh, as an offering
Then I would sing
If all I had was my heart
Oh, as an offering
Then I’d surrender all
Give you everything

Open up the sky, To see the light of heaven
Take a look inside
We’re all the same
Open up the sky, To see the light of heaven
Take a look inside

With my feet, my hands, My voice, my heart
I lift them high, I understand, I’ll start
It’s the least I can do, Oh, it’s the least I can do

Open up the sky
To see the light of heaven
Take a look inside
We’re all the same
Open up the sky
To see the light of heaven
Take a look inside
We’re all the same

So Called We (Live)

All right, let’s do it
Ready, here we go

I can fly, don’t ask me why
I see, running miles away
You will be my slavery
Oh, we’re waiting for the train

There’s so much I cannot be
So much between you and me
There’s a place I’d rather be
(I’d rather be)
That place without the so-called we

What is this game
We choose to play
Don’t you throw me all the blame
Right now I’m fine
(Now I’m fine)
Don’t waste your time on me
It all will be okay

There’s so much I cannot be
So much between you and me
There’s a place I’d rather be
(I’d rather be)
That place without the so-called we

I can fly
Don’t ask me why
I see him running miles away

Whom I Have Believed In (Live)

Come on don’t you want to take my hand
We’ll fall again
You seem like the reckless type
For trying anything
Just once I’d like to see
If you know what it means to be
To be holy
So take my time or take my hand
It’s easy once you understand

I know whom I have believed in
There’s not a dark spot around
To block out the sound that’s playing in my heart
I know whom I have believed in
You know I’m bound to the love I’ve found

What are you afraid of
Is this all a big facade
I thought you were one of us
But I’m thinking you’re a fraud
It’s like you got your own rules
What would Jesus do
Why we all stand here and wait to see
So do you really know yourself
Do you know what you believe

I know whom I have believed in
There’s not a dark spot around
To block out the sound that’s playing in my heart
I know whom I have believed in
You know I’m bound to the love I’ve found

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Find your blues voice out there, sing a little blues with us
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Ya, ooh, don’t tease me Justin, you’re teasing me- Oh
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
You guys up for a little sing-along?

It’s kind of early in the show

At this stage, I might not know who I believe in
But I sure know what I can believe in
If somebody said love, then that is the right answer

I know what I can believe in
Mm, sing it with us
I know what I can believe in
I know what I can believe in

Oh, you sound great
I know what I can believe in, yeah
I know what I can believe in
It’s love, it’s love

I know what I can believe in
There’s not a dark spot around
To block out the sound that’s playing in my heart
I know what I can believe in
You know I’m bound to the love I’ve found

I know what I can believe in
There’s not a dark spot around
To block out the sound that’s playing in my heart
I know what I can believe in
You know I’m bound to the love I’ve found

Thank you

Slightly Certain (Live)

This is a song called Slightly Certain
There’s definitely a theme of the paradox of life
So you’re almost always slightly certain of something

There’s a certain burdern with telling the truth
Especially if others are listening

There’s a certain hurting with being the sleuth
Uncovering what you’re missing
I guess I’m just one of the chosen few
Appointed to document
And I hope most of it gets through
So you don’t have to question it

Well, I could say that
Well, I could say that I’m sorry I judged you
I’m sorry to tried to rely on my own two eyes
That won’t be necessary
The rope we need to climb
Leads to a place that’s much too high
At least right now

There’s a slight heartache that comes around
Usually when you’re hoping
If there’s a slight chance you could be found
Free of all the suffering
I won’t say to keep your chin up high
It’s always an ever present
You should know that you don’t have to die
Just acknowledge the presence

Well, I could say that
Well, I could say that I’m sorry I judged you
I’m sorry to tried to rely on my own two eyes
That won’t be necessary
The rope we need to climb
Leads to a place that’s much too high
At least right now

It’s in your eyes
In your eyes
It’s in your eyes
In your eyes

You can say I’m bitter
You can say that I’m wrong
Or just that I’m selfish
But if I have to, I’ll go it alone
On a lesser traveled path, that is

I want you here with a go by myself
If no one want to help me
This battered pawn in search of his wealth
Dear God, won’t you help me

Well, I can say that
Well, I could say that I’m sorry I judged you
I’m sorry I tried to rely on my own two eyes
That won’t be necessary
The rope we need to climb
Leads to a place that’s much too high
I could say that I’m sorry I judged you
I’m sorry I tried to rely on my own two eyes
That won’t be necessary
The rope we need to climb
Leads to a place that’s much too high
At least right now

Thank you

Enemy and the Avenger (Live)

Like the tide with all its rising
Like the clouds that build to brag about the storm
These thoughts are so depriving
They try to make you into more than what’s your form
It’s all you know it’s all o’er

When poetry in motion takes a backseat to the notion
Of the weather being all we have in common
I can’t sit by and watch all this conversation drop
By the wayside of another foolish lover
Who didn’t know you Who didn’t know you

Like the time when we were trying
To find some common ground amidst the echoes of the war
Of you always relying
On your last word knack to even up the score
It’s all a show drawn to a close

When poetry in motion takes a backseat to the notion
Of the weather being all we have in common
I can’t sit by and watch all this conversation drop
By the wayside of another foolish lover
Who didn’t know you Who didn’t know you

I want to know You
I need to know You
I want to know You
I need to know You

I need to know You
I want to know You
I need to know You
I want to know You

Know you more, know you more
I want to know You
I need to know You
I need to know You
Oh show me more, more of you

Poetry in motion takes a backseat to the notion
Of the weather being all we have in common
I can’t sit by and watch all this conversation drop
By the wayside of another foolish lover

Who didn’t know you
Who didn’t know you
Who didn’t know you
Who didn’t know you…

Answer to Prayer (Live)

There’s a part of me that’s confused
Can you tell me what this means
Cause when I’d pray for God to send you
Couldn’t make out your face in my dreams
It was cloudy it seemed
Till today
Now for the first time
Don’t have to see you in my mind

Everybody won’t you come and see
What I have found today
You know the one that I’ve been telling you about
Well that cloudiness is starting to fade
After all this time
You’re what my answer to prayer looks like

Don’t look at me that way are you wanting me to
Fall apart now cause I’m on the verge
Should it ever be us and the stars above
Make a wish on one if you get the urge
And at a loss for words
We’ll both just have to laugh
Oh laugh at the world’s tests
Here’s one wish true
Let’s make the rest

Everybody won’t you come and see
What I have found today
You know the one that I’ve been telling you about
Well that cloudiness is starting to fade
After all this time
You’re what my answer to prayer looks like

’cause for so long I’ve been wondering
If everyday was one day closer to you

Everybody won’t you come and see
What I have found
You know the one that I’ve been telling you about

After all this time
You’re what my answer to prayer looks like
After all this time
You’re what my answer to prayer looks like

Every Morning (Live)

So we’re going to play a song out there with you

Heard a love song while I was drivin’ home
It was sayin’: ‘trouble to most a burden to some’
Well it’s a burden I can live with as long as I’m livin’ with you

Whoever wrote it, too bad they can’t see
You standin’ there the way you’re lookin’ at me
It’s the way you take my hand and the way you whisper ‘it’s okay’

So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you they
Should’ve written that song to say:

Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

What’s life got in store ten years from now?
That don’t matter…I’d rather figure out how
To make this moment last forever
Make this feeling never ever subside

We’ll have pictures and our memories
but it’s never felt so good to be this weak in the knees
I’m anxious, scared and lucky
Only you can make these feelings collide

So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you how
We felt right here right now

Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

What do you do when you’re laughin’ and cryin’?
Hard to do both but I think I’m tryin’

So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you they
Should’ve written that song to say:

Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway

Once Removed (Live)

I had a promise for the springtime
Between me and the seasons, between you and I
I know I said I wouldn’t squander all my yesterday’s defeated foes
It’s taking so long, I don’t want to lose what I have

Good lord look down on me tonight
Remove me today, I’ll go despite
All my lofty goals still left undone
Well, it’s a dark walk and I don’t want to be here tonight

So for now we sit idle, struggle with pleasure and pain
We can feel the difference, it’s a pain that separates
I know I said I wouldn’t let go, but it’s getting so hard to grasp
It’s taking so long to get me to where I am

Good lord look down on me tonight
Remove me today, I’ll go despite
All my lofty goals still left undone
Well, it’s a dark walk and I don’t want to be here tonight

So long, things have always worked out right
But that’s where we go wrong
Drawing comfort from our daily lives
It’s mine, it’s all mine, yeah, this peace of mind

Good lord look down on me tonight
Remove me today, I’ll go despite
All my lofty goals still left undone
It’s a dark walk and I don’t want to be here tonight
Well I said it’s a dark walk and I don’t want to be here tonight
No

Oh, here tonight

Cover Me (Live)

Don’t be afraid of sudden terror
Don’t be afraid of noise at night
Don’t let your heart grow weary ever
Even in the long hard fight

Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

Your word is like a moving fire
Set on a course before my feet
I will not faint I will not falter
Lord reach out and rescue me

Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

My heart is in your hands
And I may not understand
But I feel the way you love me
Just the way I am

Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free
Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

Starts With You (Live)

It’s all a timing and a comedy
But in this drama we’re creating
We take it much more solemnly
It’s your deep devotion and attention to detail
The promises made that you swear won’t fail

You can toy with the notion of harmony
Or say it plain and simple, you strike a chord in me
And it’s music to my ears like I’ve never heard it
So much to give, you deserve it

Oh, the words might be cliche
But I’ll sing them anyway
To a melody already been sung
It’s my shot in the dark to define love

Ooh, it starts with you and me now
It starts with you and me now

I’m more calm now than I thought I’d be
Though my trembling hands could make a liar out of me

I’ve ignored them, shaken with a feeble attempt
In hopes I might wake up, but I haven’t felt a pinch
So here we are now, where we ought to be
I wish I could scream out, just where you’d take me

It’s over the obstacles, under the walls
Past all the urgency beyond all of those

Well, the words might be cliche
But I’ll sing them anyway
To a melody already been sung
It’s my shot in the dark to define love

Ooh, it starts with you and me now
It starts with you and me now
It starts with you and me now

I was lucky enough to find you
Hold my hand now, babe
Let’s see what we can do

Oh, the words might be cliche, but I’ll sing them anyway
To a melody already been sung
It’s my shot in the dark to define love
Ooh, it starts with you and me now

It starts with you and me now
Hey, It starts with you and me now
Oh, it starts with you and me now

Together Shine (Live)

I’m not the kind to avoid it
Let’s make it clear
Why’d you ask me over here?
There was something in the way you said it

It’s like you want me to change
Am I not good enough?
This grounds a little rough
From my own stones
Or the ones you’re throwing?

What’s your excuse this time?
Am I way out of line?

A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

Why you keep saying heartache follows you around
Pick yourself up off the ground
It sounds cliché’ but it’s what you needed

In the light of these things
Why don’t you tell me honestly
What do you think is more costly
To tear your wall down or keep adding to it

What’s your excuse this time?
Am I way out of line?

A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

What’s your excuse this time? Am I way out of line?

A brief moment in your eyes
We were made to together shine

A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

You and me, we were
You and me, we were we were
You and me, we were
You and me, we were we were
Yeah!

Coward's Last Wish (Live)

This is a song called Coward’s Last Wish
It’s a song about that little hypocrite inside us all

Ready, here we go…and
One, two, three, uh

Come now, listen close
I wanna save you
Save you from the heartache you’ll find

Be careful who you trust
And put your faith in
Flesh and blood will haunt you every time
They’ll seem nice enough to convince you
“Yeah, you’re right, I’m on your side”
Once the pressure’s on, they’ll desert you
Turn around for a place to hide

You’re tough, well you know
Until you face your, your foe

You are the strong man that kneels
The coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal
You’ll prove you’re hero if someone gives you a chance
Too bad no one’s in need

Well, you think you’re an exception to the rule now
Life won’t take its toll on you
You got a bad case of ‘holier-than-thou-ness’
A logic that’s embraced by fools
You’ve heard prophecies and predictions
It all seems so funny to you
But someday you gotta face the music
Trumpet blares are gonna deafen you, yeah

You’re tough, well you know
Until you face your, your foe

You are the strong man that kneels
The coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal
You’ll prove you’re hero if someone gives you a chance
Too bad no one’s in need

Yeah

Well, you are the strong man that kneels
You’re the coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal

You’ll prove you’re a hero if someone will just give you a chance
Well, it’s too bad no one’s in need

Mmm, you are the strong man that kneels
You’re the coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal

You prove you’re a hero if someone gives you a chance
Well, it’s too bad no one’s in need

You are the strong man that kneels
You’re the coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal

You prove you’re a hero if someone gives you a chance
Well, it’s too bad no one’s in need Yeah!

You are the strong man that kneels
You’re the coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal
You prove you’re a hero if someone will give you a chance
Well, it’s too bad no one’s in need

I said, you are the strong man that kneels
You’re the coward that folds when it’s reality’s deal

Well, come on
You prove you’re a hero if someone will give you a chance
Too bad no one’s in need
I said, too bad no one’s in need
Yeah, yeah

Oh, one, two, three…

Thank you so much

Thank you very much

Where Was I (Live)

There were red roses and I should have noticed
The card that said I need you love me
It was black and white, it was in plain sight
Anyone but me could see

Anyone with a heart or a brain in their head
Could’ve really understood
There was something going wrong
Should’ve seen it coming
Kept you from running
You tried to tell me all along

Where was I
When the sun and the moon and the stars were fallin’
Where was I
When the light in your eyes went out
Didn’t happen overnight
But you’re sure gone alright
When you said good bye, where was I

There was a heart bleeding, begging and needing
Anything that felt like love
I was too caught up
In a whole lot of
nothing that really mattered half as much

As the way that it felt when we loved when we touched
Baby now that you’re gone
I’m gonna miss you so much
Like the clouds in the sky, like the sand in the sea
Nothin’ means nothin’ without you with me

Where was I
When the sun and the moon and the stars were fallin’
Where was I
When the light in your eyes went out
Didn’t happen overnight
But you’re sure gone alright
When you said good bye, where was I

I was lost, you were trapped
I was gone when you needed my attention
There were tears that I missed they were part of the list
To numerous to mention
I always thought that I’d be with you
Now I’m standin here alone
And the worst part of it is…
I guess I should have known

Where was I
When the sun and the moon and the stars were fallin’
Where was I
When the light in your eyes went out
Didn’t happen overnight
But you’re sure gone alright
When you said good bye, where was I

I'll Be (Live)

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderfulStop me and steal my breathAnd emeralds from mountains thrust toward the skyNever revealing their depth
And tell me that we belong togetherAnd dress it up with the trappings of loveI’ll be captivated, I’ll hang from your lipsInstead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulderI’ll be love’s suicideAnd I’ll be better when I’m olderI’ll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roofAs we lie awake in my bedAnd you’re my survival, you’re my livin’ proofMy love is alive and not dead
And tell me that we belong togetherAnd dress it up with the trappings of loveI’ll be captivated, I’ll hang from your lipsInstead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulderI’ll be love’s suicideAnd I’ll be better when I’m olderI’ll be the greatest fan of your life
And I dropped out, I burned upI fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in and turned onRemembered the thing that you, you said
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulderI’ll be love’s suicideAnd I’ll be better when I’m olderI’ll be the greatest fan of your…
I’ll be your cryin’ shoulderI’ll be love’s suicideAnd I’ll be better when I’m olderI’ll be the greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life

Annagail's album cover for Baby Its You - featuring an ice cream cone

Baby, It's You

As I lay here dreaming, right next to you
The strength in your soul is what gets me through
The world can seem cold, so many hearts on fire
The one thing I want is to survive the mire…survive the mire

Don’t let me burn, don’t let me fade
Don’t let my heart waste away, not for another day

Baby it’s you, that’s what gets me through
In a world where my love has grown so stone cold
Hold my hand tight, make time stand still
Over and over let’s say we will

Nights are so long, the years fade away
My body speaks lies of the ways it won’t work today
One thing I know, no matter what I do
Your arms are wide open, I can run to you
I can run to you, baby

Don’t let me burn, don’t let me fade
Don’t let my heart waste away, not for another day

Baby it’s you, that’s what gets me through
In a world where my love has grown so stone cold
Hold my hand tight, make time stand still
Over and over let’s say we will

Make me wait
Make me stay
Make my soul hold on for one more day
Help me see
Let me know
In the hard times it’s where love grows

Hey, hey!

Don’t let me burn, don’t let me fade
Don’t let my heart waste away, not for another day

Baby it’s you, that’s what gets me through
In a world where my love has grown so stone cold
Hold my hand tight, make time stand still
Over and over let’s say, let’s say we will

Baby it’s you, that’s what gets me through
In a world where my love has grown so stone cold
Hold my hand tight, make time stand still
Over and over let’s say we will

Anne

He says this house is haunted, I’m not much into ghosts
But this one might be different, she’s been a lovely host
Her dancing really moves me, she hums inside my head
The songs that need the writing, she sings to me instead

A friend to one is a friend to all, she quietly mouths to me
A wonderful time we get to share, because you chose to see
My name is Anne spelled with an E, some once thought that strange
But I’ve seen more things strange than that, like those who don’t believe

She tells of how she got here, she was maybe two or three
Parents moved from Milwaukee to set the family free
She said there’s always giants telling you yes or no
You can grow in silence, or learn to run your show

A friend to one is a friend to all, she quietly mouths to me
A wonderful time we get to share, because you chose to see
My name is Anne spelled with an E, some once thought that strange
But I’ve seen more things strange than that, like those who don’t believe

I’m glad you’re here, she sings to me, I knew you’d know my name
Your kind is very different dear, like we’ve known the same pain
I haven’t wanted to leave here, it’s the only joy I’ve known
It’s been a little while now, it seems I’ve probably grown

I’m a friend for life dear, you can count on me
You have nothing to fear here, there ain’t no price on free

A friend to one is a friend to all, she quietly mouths to me
A wonderful time we get to share, because you chose to see
My name is Anne spelled with an E, some once thought that strange
But I’ve seen more things strange than that, like those who don’t believe

The Light

In the morning it comes
Heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun
But I don’t even run from rain
Beating out of my chest
Heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You were the air in my breath
Filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess
Intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this
Ooh, and then the storm can come
You feel just like the sun
Just like the sun

And hear you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’m gonna trust you, babe
I’m gonna look in your eyes
And hear you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’ll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew
Nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you
I can do without
No one knows where it ends
How it may come tumbling down
But I’m here with you now
I’m with you now

And hear you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’m gonna trust you, babe
I’m gonna look in your eyes
And hear you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’ll follow you into the light

Let the world come rushing
Come down hard, come crushing
All I need is right here beside me
And all the love I’m swearing
Take my love and wear it
Over your shoulders

And if you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’m gonna trust you, babe
I’m gonna look in your eyes
And hear you say, “We’ll be alright”
I’ll follow you into the light

Edge of the Crowd

Seems I’m on my way
Not sure I had a choice
Grabbed my suitcase packed by strangers, who left out my voice
You can’t jump from a movin’ train
(just) enjoy the ride slowly go insane
Cuz’ these tracks won’t lead you back
Here drink this Koolaid champagne

Pre-Chorus
Dreams were forming, lives restoring – none of them my own

Chorus
Standing at the edge of the crowd I was laughing but I couldn’t make a sound
Sometimes crying but no tears hit the ground andst ill I followed you
Expecting me to understand something that hasn’t been said
Feeding the fallacy and your identity politics
Oh, I’m at the edge of the crowd

Verse 2
I might not always follow my heart so well.
Chased a reckless recommendation now these scars do tell
I’m glad that we decided that we probably should
Learn to love each other and wonder what kind of god could…
damn some folks to hell sayin’ “sorry, you’re too misunderstood”

Pre-Chorus
Nations we’re storming, creation groaning – neither is for you

Chorus 2
Standing at the edge of the crowd I was laughing but I couldn’t make a sound
Sometimes crying but no tears hit the ground and still I followed you
Expecting me to understand something that hasn’t been said
Guess I’m not as self-sufficient as I’d like to have been
Oh, I’m at the edge of the crowd

Standing at the edge of the crowd I was laughing but I couldn’t make a sound
Sometimes crying but no tears hit the ground and still I followed you
You can keep your wine and bread – all your certainty and bitterness
Oh, I’m at the edge of the crowd

Beholden

I’m beholden to you, you’re my lifeline
You’re my heart and my soul and my mind’s eye
Won’t take nothing for me to protect you
I’m beholden to you, I’m beholden to you

You stand five foot two with a brilliant mind
A heart of gold, a rare beauty to find
You make the world bright with a protected light
A mind that’s sharp, you never give up the fight

And the bond won’t break, there’s so much at stake
My life and my world, my beautiful girls

I’m beholden to you, you’re my lifeline
You’re my heart and my soul and my mind’s eye
Won’t take nothing for me to protect you
I’m beholden to you, I’m beholden to you

You’re my precious son with a joy that flows
Imagine the places I know you’ll go

And the bond won’t break, there’s so much at stake
My life and my world, my beautiful little boy

I’m beholden to you, you’re my lifeline
You’re my heart and my soul and my mind’s eye
Won’t take nothing for me to protect you
I’m beholden to you, I’m beholden to you

Take my hand, run with me
We will head toward the sea

I’m beholden to you, you’re my lifeline
You’re my heart and my soul and my mind’s eye
Won’t take nothing for me to protect you
I’m beholden to you, I’m beholden to you

Brother

Curious boy, didn’t know what you did
To deserve a world that got away with it
Tender heart, great eyes to see
The pain in others, but you’re not free

Scary as hell, to move around like that
You made a solid vow
An unbreakable pact this time around
Things will be different, you’ll stay bent on that

You break it, you put it back
You wave a white flag, you hope it will stop
Your shell has cracks, your mind’s some too
You wanna be seen, brave you

Brother, I’ve always loved your smile
Brother, I’d like to sit for a while
Share the things we thought we lost
Make the world feel grand

I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand
I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand

You’re a child within, no security
With an ever-changing plot of land
Sometimes we become our own savior
To make the life we always should’ve had before

I know your love runs deep for me
The words can fall apart so easily
I feel it in the blood that flows deep
Between our beating hearts it always grows
You break it, you put it back
You wave a white flag, you hope it will stop
Your shell has cracks, your mind some too
You wanna be seen, brave you

Brother, I’ve always loved your smile
Brother, I’d like to sit for a while
Share the things we thought we lost
Make the world feel grand

I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand
I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand

There are moments in time we can’t ignore
Things we could change if we only had more
I’ll reach for you through eternity
You can count on me

Brother, I’ve always loved your smile
Brother, I’d like to sit for a while
Share the things we thought we lost
Make the world feel grand

I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand
I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand

Brother, I’ve always loved your smile
Brother, I’d like to sit for a while
Share the things we thought we lost
Make the world feel grand

I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand
I’ve always looked wide eyed up to you
You’re a hero from where I stand

Parade

V1
Listen up to some wisdom –
I’ve gathered over the years
While you might be scheming, the universe is hatching plans to interfere
So start making peace with the disappointments

V2
There’s the thing you want to happen and then the thing that awaits you
You can anticipate the future or learn to be at peace with the present view
The good news is – it only takes the rest of your life -so don’t put up a fight

Chorus
And it rains…oh, oh it rains on your parade
And it rains…oh, oh it rains on your parade

V3
Jesus hung with sinners -now-a-days that’s a sin
You can’t be seen with the devils ‘cuz heaven’s deciding whether or not to let you in
You could try to save them- but might %@#* it up for yourself

V4
The cross hairs of affection can bring a lover into sight
Until they’re close enough to tell you that they’ve got other plans tonight
and tomorrow night and every night after that …yeah, they ain’t comin’ back

Chorus
And it rains…oh, oh it rains on your parade
And it rains…oh, oh it rains on your parade

Bridge
I wish you would – I wish you would –
I wish you would – would have told me sooner
I wish you would – I wish you would – I wish would
wouldn’t have told me at all

Rain, Rain go away
Oh come again
Some other day
…Some other day

V5
She can stop your breathe and heartbeat with one brush of her hair
she might seem like your Aphrodite and you launch all the ships but to your despair
every king and peasant has known this heartbreak – this kind of ache

V6 – acapella
Once we’re born we begin forgetting – all the little miracles
Its educated out of us – the memories fade we danced with the angels
We can only hope for something to remind us soon – we linger in bloom

Chorus
And it rains…oh, oh it rains on your parade
And it rains…you can’t stop the rain on your parade

Oh it rains…oh, it rains
And it rains…oh, oh it rains
Oh ho, oh it rains
On your parade

Wake Me Up

Verse 1
Gave you a gold heart locket for my soul
One you never paid for but you stole
You won’t cross over to the other side
You never were a reliable guy

Took what you wanted when you wanted
The time was right I was too young to fight

Pre Chorus
Grandpa’s gone mad – the whole word is spinning
Maybe you’ll be the next one he’s pinning

Chorus
Wake me up when the nightmare is over
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show

Verse 2
Grandma says “it can’t be true”
After all I was only 2
“You’re makin’ in it up child, you should know
You’re goin’ to hell for diggin’ a hole”

Pre Chorus
Grandpa’s gone mad – the whole word is spinning
Maybe you’ll be the next one he’s pinning

Chorus
Wake me up when the nightmare is over
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show

Bridge
The aftermath and the afterlife
Ain’t much different than the devil’s wife
She’ll know it’s true – keep denying you’re right

Pre Chorus
Grandpa’s gone mad – the whole word is spinning
Maybe you’ll be the next one he’s pinning

Chorus
Wake me up when the nightmare is over
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show

Wake me up when the nightmare is over
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show

Silence

You think silence is the way to go
It’s not the abuse I used to know
I think words withheld are nothing less
than a gaping hole inside my chest

Pre Chorus
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I’m more than this broken frame?

Chorus
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Can you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I’m alive

Verse 2
You think breathing is the only living
And all else is extreme forgiving
I think living is almost like dying
Some days are hardly worth the trying

Pre Chorus
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I’m more than this broken frame?

Chorus
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Can you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I’m alive

 

Bridge
Save me from myself
I don’t wanna be nobody else

Pre Chorus
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I’m more than this broken frame?

Chorus
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Can you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I’m alive

Worthy Illusions or just meaningless necessities
You hope in the future and I’ll trust what I see

Trust that love in time will come around

You and I might even hafta’ knock it down
Its gonna break Oh we’ll learn from our mistakes
Trust that love in time will come around
Trust that love in time will come around

Ghost

Verse 1
Purple & White Shirt
Formed around her small chest
Innocence gone left; without notice
The tea party’s over
A moment you cannot erase

Her sponge curled hair
Tied with lavender ribbon
Fingers to lips better keep silent
He’s drawing the curtains
Now your fighting off embrace

Chorus
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise

Verse 2
His Hands down her pants
He says I’ll watch as you jump now
Run if you can; I will come find you
Nightmares ruled by silence
Something you can’t seem to shake

The smell of that soap
Makers her feel dirty
Slipping away feeling unworthy
Shame, fault and protection
There’s an awful lot at stake

Chorus
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise

Verse 3
She’s a grown up now
She’s still feeling four years
A patch in her quilt
She never stays warm with
Comfort or confession
Or ignore the loss of youth

Smiles & Laughter & Family & Sunlight
Voice like an angel
She makes the world twilight
Everything behind you
Is nothing that you have to prove

Chorus
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise

Bridge
She’s a lovely girl
With a heart of gold
Traded childhood dreams
For an old mans ghost
Old mans ghost

Verse 4
Purple & White Shirt
Formed around her small chest
Innocence gone left; without notice

Home

Verse 1
He said, “Sit down”
“Are your shadows dark or golden?”
I’m trembling now
“You’ll need to know this as you get older”

Pre Chorus
When something happens-we give it reason
Hard to notice in this season…that you’re

Chorus
Always home
You’re always home
Where the heart is, wounds are

Verse 2
So quiet now
We’re more complicated than we admit or imagine
She said, “Look around.
We all have a story beneath conversations”

Pre Chorus
Even the sun hides some days of the week
You’re amiable but showing teeth – you’re

Chorus
Always home
You’re always home
Where the healing and hurts are

Bridge
We go to where the greatest conflict was held
That’s where the transformation is
We can only hope that the stories they tell will remember this…
…will they remember this…

Verse 3
The slash between
Creating/Destroying – it’s were we find our meaning
I guess that means
We’re all at once whole and broken

Pre Chorus
Some things are simply wonderful
Some things are simply full of wonder

Chorus
You’re always home
You’re always home
It’s where you are

Gypsy Spirit

She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Her legs won’t carry her
To the place with all the fun

Verse
Her mind is racing
With thoughts of all she’s missed
Maybe things will change

If she only makes a wish
Upon a shooting star
A god that’s far
Her magical bear
Her long blond hair

Upon her mothers grave
Her fathers rage
Her sisters brave
Her brother, a slave

Chorus
She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Can anyone see her
Heading toward the sun

Verse
A tiny migrant with no fixed address
It settled in the day her daddy missed the rent
The day her mama gave up family for lent

The day the plague came
The flood and fire too

Chorus
She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Can anyone see her
Heading toward the sun

Bridge
A nomad wandering for home
Will she ever find her home

Chorus
She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Can anyone see her
Heading toward the sun

Cages

Baby its alright You can sleep tight
You’re safe when you’re in my arms
Scary as hell out there
Evil everywhere
But I’ll keep you from harm

Pre Chorus
You’re holding hands with treachery
But Momma read he has a plan…so until then

Chorus
Lock up your daughters, shackle your sons
We don’t want the devil carrying you away
It’s for your own good
Even cuz’ I love you
So hush now while I go and pray

Verse 2
Got a halo for me Yours is a leash
So you don’t wander off
Heartbreak in the air
But you I’ll spare
From the pain it brings

Pre Chorus
You’re holding hands with treachery
But you’ll do as the good book says so until then

Chorus
Lock up your daughters shackle your sons
We don’t want the devil carrying you away
Its for your own good
Even cuz’ I love you
So hush now while I go and pray

Bridge
I’m holding hands with reality
So I guess I’ll be damned – but until then
Until then – on my feet I learned how to land
Livin’ ain’t no sin, you understand

Verse 3
So I tear off these shackles
Break these chains
I’m running away with the devil today

If livin’ life means a little a pain and misery

Then the devil and will get along ok
The devil should get along ok
The devil and I we’re doing ok

Forgivness

Verse 1
Grieving is a part of the journey
Saying goodbye to who I thought I was
Life is a mystery, full of twists and turns
One little lesson that I’ve learned

Chorus
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
I know it’s a gift from You

Verse 2
We’re all a part of a family
The family is growing again
And we will fall and break and bruise
Get back up with open wounds
And choose to trust again

Chorus
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
Yeah, I know, it’s a gift from You

Bridge
You never said that it was easy
You know what it’s like to lose
Through power of forgiveness
You make all things new
You make all things new

Verse 3
A little faith can move the mountains
How much faith will it take to
Let go of the pain we’re in
Reach out to the world again
And keep holding on to You

Chorus
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Oh, it’s sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
Yeah, it is

Bridge 2
I know it’s a gift from You
We say, Father, forgive them
They know not what they do
They know not what they do
Father, forgive them
They know not what they do
They know not what they do
We say, Father, forgive us
We know not what we do
We know not what we do
Oh Father, forgive us
We know not what we do
We know not what we do

Chorus
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You

Gemini

You won’t talk to me
Neither did she
I attract the same
I guess it’s the game

I wouldn’t know for sure
How much to endure
I was trained to stay
Like a dog on a chain

You’re the Gemini
I’m the Gem in eye
You matter more
Show me the door

If you can’t see me, then let me fly
You can’t love me, then let me rise
You can’t include me inside your head
I’ll show myself out instead

I can see your soul
Like the lines on your face
I can hear the words
You refuse to say

I wish you’d find your nerve
Make it clear to me
Once and for all
Disappear in me

You’re the Gemini
I’m the Gem in eye
You matter more
Show me the door

If you can’t see me, then let me fly
You can’t love me, then let me rise
You can’t include me inside your head
I’ll show myself out instead

I’ve known all along
I just needed the song
To find courage to land
I’ve known all along

I just needed the song
To find courage to land

You’re the Gemini
I’m the Gem in eye
You matter more
Show me the door

If you can’t see me, then let me fly
You can’t love me, then let me rise

You can’t include me inside your head
I’ll show myself out instead

If you can’t see me, then let me fly
You can’t love me, then let me rise

You can’t include me inside your head
I’ll show myself out instead

Whiskey and Wine

She Irons the shirts, cleans up the floor
Tightens the hinges on the side of the door
Momma taught her to cook, how to clean
How to be a good wife, but never to dream

She’s more than a moment, a lifetime of things
Didn’t hear me speak, Now Hear me sing
Daddy always knew what’s best
And pastor could explain away the rest

Pre Chorus
Risk it all just to fail?
If I don’t go now, I never will

Chorus
Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine always tell me the truth
‘know who I am just fine
I am who I’ve forgotten

VERSE 2

She’s peeling potatoes, seeing more
Sacredness found sweeping the floor
Feeling better at the bottom of the bottle
Clearer now she’s got a new gospel

Pre Chorus
Risk it all just to fail?
Cracks may form, but light slips in

Chorus
Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine always tell me the truth
‘know who I am just fine
I am who I’ve forgotten

Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine have upheld me
They’re sacraments of my new life
I am who I’ve forgotten

BRIDGE
She’s not her family tree, church or her city
Words, lies, rules & tradition are ink & obscenities
She’s coming to terms with her crisis of faith, damn your liturgy
Forging her way, reshaping her identity

Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine always tell me the truth
‘know who I am just fine
I am who I’ve forgotten

Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine have upheld me
They’re sacraments of my new life
I am who I’ve forgotten

Whiskey & the Wine never failed me
Whiskey & the Wine have upheld me
They’re sacraments of my new life
I am who I’ve forgotten
I am who I’ve forgotten
Oh, I am who I’ve forgotten

In Time

Have you ever wondered why
If the sky fell would you die
What would happen then
What would happen then

PreChorus

Are you smart enough to try and understand

Chorus
As the seasons fly I’m wasting while I try to disappear
If I run will you let me
Will you come and get me to wipe away the fear
Oh you say in time…in time

Verse 2
If there were no space and time
Would we need a nursery rhyme
To make us feel okay
Would we hear it anyway

PreChorus
Are you tough enough to try and comprehend

Chorus
As the seasons fly I’m wasting while I try to disappear
If I run will you let me
Will you come and get me to wipe away the fear
Oh you say in time…in time

Bridge
Once I had a dream that I was someone who was no one
And I was falling from the window of the 32 floor
Everything around me was so blurry in a hurry that
I thought I was gone…but I was…not

Chorus
As the seasons fly I’m wasting while I try to disappear
If I run will you let me
Will you come and get me to wipe away the fear
Oh you say in time…in time

Close Your Eyes

Isn’t it amazing
How I find myself alone
How is it that you know what
I’m gonna say
I persist and think that
I can get away

PreChorus
And then it’s all I can do
I seem to barely make it through

Chorus
Close your eyes it’s strangely like a dream
Give me the air I’ll use it I swear
You offer me so much that is unseen
Transport me away I’m seizing the day

Verse 2
What comes first the doubt or sin
I need some room to change within
Tongue tied and twisted
My head says I missed it

Chorus
Close your eyes it’s strangely like a dream
Give me the air I’ll use it I swear
You offer me so much that is unseen
Transport me away I’m seizing the day

Pre Chorus
But my hearts still safe and sound
Is this the fertile soiled ground

Whom I Have Believed In

Come on, don’t you want to take my hand, we’ll fall again
You seem like the restless type for trying anything
Just once I’d like to see if you know what it means to be, to be holy
Take my time or take my hand it easy once you understand

Chorus
I know whom I have believed in
There’s not a dark spot around to block out the sound
That’s playing in my heart
I know whom I have believed in
You know I’m bound to the love I found

Verse 2
What are you afraid of, is this all a big façade?
I thought you were one of us but I’m thinkin’ you’re a fraud
It’s like you’ve got your own rules what would Jesus do
While we all stand here and wait to see
So do you really know yourself do you know what you believe?

Chorus
I know whom I have believed in
There’s not a dark spot around to block out the sound
That’s playing in my heart
I know whom I have believed in
You know I’m bound to the love I found

Bridge
I know whom I have believed in
I know whom I have believed in

Chorus
I know whom I have believed in
There’s not a dark spot around to block out the sound
That’s playing in my heart
I know whom I have believed in
You know I’m bound to the love I found

Make It Right

How can I say I’m sorry
If what was done seemed for your own good
Oh the truth never comes so easy
Specially when you’re not ready to receive it

The pain always outwears its welcome
The anger still lasts so long
The grieving not because I miss you
Rather the freedom you never knew

Chorus
I’m not ready to make it right
It’s the right I’m ready to make
The tears they fall down from my eyes
I’ll never understand why

Verse 2
Stuck in the challenge
Wrapped in the trial
Winter came in looks like it’s staying for a while
Must be God’s will that’s the common answer
Are you playing the fool You might be the last to know

Blood isn’t thicker than water
Even then you were thin through my veins
Oh…the lie changed it’s face without a warning
Even after it all I still love the same

I’m not ready to make it right
It’s the right I’m ready to make
The tears they fall down from my eyes
I’ll never understand why

Bridge
O that little voice says looks like we’re here again
Struggling, Fighting for the truth
It’s a three sided story and I’m not amused
Angel wings and forked tongues
Try to confuse my mind
The impossible collides and the truth is on everyone’s side

Chorus
I’m not ready to make it right
It’s the right I’m ready to make
The tears they fall down from my eyes
I’ll never understand why

Little Piece of Heaven

My little piece of heaven
Comes down on me tonight
Thought all my planes were clever
Have yet to get it right

Pre Chorus
Every moment you wait
Every breath is at stake

Chorus
To the mountains the cry fall on us
To the hills oh let ‘em cover us
To the mountains the cry fall on us
Oh to the hills oh let ‘em cover us

Verse 2
He don’t tell his secrets
But he shows them in the vaguest of ways
All the air that is between us
Soon won’t keep us away

Pre Chorus
All the boundaries we break
The excuses we make

Chorus
To the mountains the cry fall on us
To the hills oh let ‘em cover us
To the mountains the cry fall on us
Oh to the hills oh let ‘em cover us

Bridge
Torn apart but renewed at last
The secret lies in forgetting the past
You can’t deny that it’s you
That this hits home to and…

Chorus 2x
To the mountains the cry fall on us
To the hills oh let ‘em cover us
To the mountains the cry fall on us
Oh to the hills oh let ‘em cover us

 

Every Morning

Heard a love song while I was drivin’ home
It was sayin’: ‘trouble to most a burden to some’
Well it’s a burden I can live with as long as I’m livin’ with you

Whoever wrote it, too bad they can’t see
You standin’ there the way you’re lookin’ at me
It’s the way you take my hand and the way you whisper ‘it’s okay’

Pre Chorus
So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you they
Should’ve written that song to say:

Chorus
Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

Verse 2
What’s life got in store ten years from now?
That don’t matter…I’d rather figure out how
To make this moment last forever
Make this feeling never ever subside

We’ll have pictures and our memories
but it’s never felt so good to be this weak in the knees
I’m anxious, scared and lucky
Only you can make these feelings collide

Pre Chorus
So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you how
We felt right here right now

Chorus
Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

Bridge
What do you do when you’re laughin’ and cryin’?
Hard to do both but I think I’m tryin’

Chorus
So every morning take your time
Every morning look at me and I’ll remind you they
Should’ve written that song to say:

Chorus
Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway
And from this I have drawn
This conclusion that I make
Sure as I’m standin’ here today
As one we’re meant to carry on
So every morning I’ll smile
Every morning I’ll think, probably out loud, to myself
Now I don’t have to say …’you’re the one that got away’

Your love has found me here today
But you’d have found me anyway

So Called We

I can fly don’t ask me why
I see him running miles away
You will be my slavery
Oh we’re waiting for the train

Chorus
There’s so much I cannot be
So much between you and me
There’s a place I’d rather be
That place without the so called we

Verse 2
What is this game We choose to play
Don’t you throw me all the blame
Right now I’m fine –  don’t waste your time
On me – it all will be okay

Chorus
There’s so much I cannot be
So much between you and me
There’s a place I’d rather be
That place without the so called we

Song That Never Ends

Another smile and you’re always thinkin’
How long before it turns into a cry
This is how everybody’s feelin’
Here’s somethin’ you ought to try

Chorus
There is a fountain flowing deep within
There is a river you can jump right in
It is a song I heard on the sweet sunrise
It is a song that never ends

Na, Na, Na, Na, Na

 

Verse 2
After awhile you are coming around to
A better place that you have found to live
Took so long and now you’re wonderin’
Why’d you wait till now to begin

Chorus
There is a fountain flowing deep within
There is a river you can jump right in
It is a song I heard on the sweet sunrise
It is a song that never ends

Na, Na, Na, Na, Na

Chorus (brk dwn)
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na

Chorus
There is a fountain flowing deep within
There is a river you can jump right in
It is a song I heard on the sweet sunrise
It is a song that never ends
It is a song that never ends
It is a song that never ends

 

Together Shine

Not the kind to avoid it
Let’s make it clear
Why’d you ask me over here?
There was something in the way you said it

It’s like you want me to change
Am I not good enough?
This grounds a little rough
From my own stones
Or the ones you’re throwing?

Pre Chorus
What’s your excuse this time?
Am I way out of line?

Chorus
A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

Verse 2
Why you keep saying heartache follows you around
Pick yourself up off the ground
It sounds cliché’ but it’s what you needed

In the light of these things
Why don’t you tell me honestly
What do you think is more costly
To tear your wall down or keep adding to it

Pre Chorus
What’s your excuse this time?
Am I way out of line?

Chorus
A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

Bridge
It will find you somehow
The truth will find you anyhow
It will find you somehow

A brief moment in your eyes

We were made to together shine

A brief moment in your eyes
Will reveal itself in time
Happen upon the truth you’ll find
We were made to together shine
Together shine

If All I Had

If all I had were my feet…as an offering
Then I would dance

If all I had were my hands…as an offering
then I would lift them just as high as I could to reach you

Chorus
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…we are the same

Verse 2
If all I had was my voice…as an offering
Then I would sing

If all I had was my heart…as an offering
Then I’d surrender all and give you everything

Chorus
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…we are the same
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…

Bridge
And with my feet, my hands, my voice, my heart
I’ll lift them high, I understand, I’ll start
it’s the least I can do…
it’s the least I can do…

Chorus
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…we are the same
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…

Chorus
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…we are the same
Open up the sky…to see the light of heaven
Take a look inside…

Cover Me

Don’t be afraid of sudden terror
Don’t be afraid of noise at night
Don’t let your heart grow weary ever
Even in the long hard fight

Chorus
Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

Verse 2
Your word is like a moving fire
Set on a course before my feet
I will not faint I will not falter
Lord reach out and rescue me

Chorus
Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

Bridge
My heart is in your hands
And I may not understand
But I feel the way you love me
Just the way I am

Chorus
Oh daddy cover me
From the wolves that seek to devour me
Father cover me
From the wolves that don’t want me set free

Beautiful Irony

I may’ve given up the promise of the morning
Let tomorrow be a new day for someone else
Every night with that worn out line dawning
I can’t help but trust the promise of you
You’ll see me through…

A good friend once thought of giving up on feelings
I guess maybe ‘cause they tore him up too much
Well saving that breakdown as a last resort is appealing
But if I try his theory that’s probably a feeling too….
Its time for you to tell me

Chorus
How long is forever gonna take me
How loud do I hafta shout
How far do I hafta fall to see what you see (in me)
Is that the beautiful irony
oh oh ooooh

Might have stumbled once today or maybe a thousand
Lately it’s been harder to keep track
I suppose it don’t matter
‘cause I don’t think you’re countin’
It’s all I’ve known gotta find something new…
its time for you to tell me

Chorus
How long is forever gonna take me
How loud do I hafta shout
How far do I hafta fall to see what you see (in me)
Is that the beautiful irony
oh oh ooooh

Bridge
I’m at the end of myself trying to numb the pain
This oil and water I give to the Father
I dare you to wash it away

Is that the beautiful irony
oh oh ooooh

Is that the beautiful irony
oh oh ooooh

Where Was I

There were red roses and I should have noticed
The card that said I need you love me
It was black and white, it was in plain sight
Anyone but me could see

Set up
Anyone with a heart or a brain in their head
Could of really understood
There was something going wrong
Should have seen it coming
Kept you from running
You tried to tell me all along

Chorus
Where was I
When the sun and the moon and the stars were fallin
Where was I
When the light in your eyes went out
Didn’t happen overnight
But you’re sure gone alright
When you said good bye, where was I Yeah

Verse 2
There was a heart bleeding begging and needing
Anything that felt like love
I was too caught up
In a whole lot of
nothing that really mattered half as much

Set up 2
As the way that it felt when we loved when we touched
Baby now that you’re gone
I’m gonna miss you so much
Like the clouds in the sky, like the sand in the sea
Baby nothin means nothing without you with me

Bridge
I was lost you were trapped
I was gone when you needed my attention
There were tears that I missed they were part of the list
To numerous to mention
I always thought that id be with you
Now I’m standin here alone
And the worst part of it is….guess I should have known
