True Love
03:43
|
|
||
|
When the fire's burning down
Ember glow it shows my feet on the ground
Staring meaning into flame
Looking back the last time I heard my name
Nothing remained, but
True love
True love will lift us up
When everything else
Seems like it's not enough
I know
Sometimes it's all too much
But true love will lift us upon
Just enough for each new day
Trips my patience, makes me break and complain
There just has to be a way
Of moving forward through the wind and the rain
To find myself saying, that
True love
True love will lift us up
When everything else
Seems like it's not enough
I know
Sometimes it's all too much
But true love will lift us upon
There isn't really a medicine for every deep wound
There isn't really a measure that we're following truth

Everything I thought that I am
Suddenly caving in
Truth can only move me so far
And bring me around again
So I sit in the static
And the question comes in
What if I go backwards
every time I think I'm getting closer?
Now and then I just can't help but wonder
maybe this is over
If only for a moment or two
Let me be something new
I could see the good in my hand
And value in what I do
But I'm, not so sure it could happen
If I wanted it to
What if I go backwards
every time I think I'm getting closer?
Now and then I just can't help but wonder
maybe this is over
If I never get much closer
If I never see the day
If everything breaks and shatters, it's ok

All The Same

After the shape is broken
You make the coffee, windows open
Looking for any reason
To name any truth that we believe in
Eyes open, heart still
Unspoken until
A word, or just a sound
Something only we've found
How did we ever find our way to this place?
I know it must be more than choices we made
It's too much to write it down or call it by name
But, I, I love it all the same
After the daily scatter
Sometimes we rest, sometimes we shatter
Looking for any reason
To name any joy in any season
A well that we fill
To save and to spill
A path still unclear
Something only we hear
How did we ever find our way to this place?
I know it must be more than choices we made
It's too much to write it down or call it by name
But, I, I love it all the same

Rolling faster and faster
Tumbling down again
So much room on this paper
Don't know how to fill it in
Oh, where does that leave me now?
Oh, where does that leave me now?
Are you looking for value
But you can't seem to win
Might be here in the daytime
Gone when the lights go dim
Oh, where does that leave you now?
Oh, where does that leave you now?
We saw good in each other
Even when life was thin
Now we're strangers in love
Just looking for a place to begin
Oh, where does that leave us now?
Oh, where does that leave us now?

This Wilderness
05:23
|
|
||
|
Held between the silent hands of fear
Wondering why my life has led me here
Oh the dreams that you have and the way they just disappear
Here I am
Holding out the pieces of all that I planned
All I see
Is the man that I was, not the man I will be
And I pray I find what’s next
Here in this wilderness
Thrown from every place that feels like home
Hanging by the thread of all I know
Will your mercy still follow me here or am I alone
Here I am
Holding out the pieces of all that I planned
All I see
Is the man that I was, not the man I will be
And I pray I find what’s next
Here in this wilderness
Show me where you are
Whispering life into distant stars
Show me you are kind
Whispering hope in our broken lives

Oh, God Oh, God
Silence never held such pain
I’ll take, I’ll take
The burden of your guilt and blame
I have watched you grow so tall
I watched you break and fall
and for all these years I’ve wondered where you are
Will our fears and prayers ever make this new?
When morning comes
Nothing else can hide your face
Oh light, Oh, light
How do we deserve this grace
When you have watched us steal and scar
and you have placed us where are
And for all these years our hearts have been through
Will these awful wounds, ever be made new
And when it’s said and done, break my heart with more of you

The End
04:50
|
|

It’s looking like an omen
For a moment, you could cut these ties and change your mind
It’s nothing like you thought it
But you want it, so you clear your eyes and start to try
Maybe I could meet you there
Let me be the reason you find the faith to begin
Let me be the courage you lack but wish you could win
Let me tell you how many times I’ve been where you’ve been
Let me be the voice that whispers, this is not the end
Sometimes it’s so lonely
When it’s only, a feeble fire and dim desire
You wonder if it matters
So you scatter, your dreams and start
To doubt your heart
I’ll shoulder every dream I can bear
Let me be the reason you find the faith to begin
Let me be the courage you lack but wish you could win
Let me tell you how many times I’ve been where you’ve been
Let me be the voice that whispers, this is not the end

Little Notions
04:21
|
|
||
|
When I fall deep into something I’m made for
I start to wait for
Worry to come
Make a home inside the promise we stand on
Build all our plans on
So quickly undone
Little notions, take you so far from yourself
I’m in motion, but I don’t want anyone else
When I fall deep into some other story
Love that ignores me
And hollows my mind
I set it down, just as you set it before me
And reassured me, that you were still mine
Little notions, take me so far from myself
I’m in motion, but I don’t want anyone else
Little notions, take me so far from myself
I’m in motion, but I don’t want anyone else
