Warrior Poet
05:35
|
|||
Oh, you don’t have to hide your scars
You can wear them like a soldier’s silver star
That he brought home from the war
For an act of uncommon valor
And when it’s all been said and done
When every battle’s lost and won
And when the victory’s begun
They will make you beautiful
Cause just when you thought that you were
Down for the count
You turned your cheek
And raised your glass
With perfect nonchalance (and you)
You stared them down like a warrior poet
If you felt fear, you didn’t show it
Through blood and tears you found
The fight was coursing in your veins and you
You stood your ground like a warrior poet
At a loss for words but you didn’t show it
They knocked you down but you will rise again
You’re a warrior poet
So keep your heart upon your sleeve
Don’t let them steal what you believe
And you’ll bring this world to its knees
If you don’t give up the good fight
And somehow you’ll beat the odds
Breaking through glittering façades
While the host of heaven all applauds
As you take it up, your last stand
You ran the gauntlet when you
Threw the gauntlet down
You toed the line
And raised your voice
And took the fight to them
You stared them down like a warrior poet
If you felt fear, you didn’t show it
Through blood and tears you found
The fight was coursing in your veins
You stood your ground like a warrior poet
At a loss for words but you didn’t show it
They knocked you down but you will rise again
You’re a warrior poet

This Town
05:03
|
|||
We were chasing dragons
With our homemade wooden swords
There in your river valley
At the edges of our world
We were making legends
Out of never ending days
On your forbidden rooftops
In your back alleys
You don’t always know how who you were
Is who you are today
Or how the man that you’ve become was born
In child’s play (oh)
This town was big enough
For the three of us to run around in
Till we were tall enough to ride
With fireworks on the summer nights
While lightning played across the sky
It wasn’t much but it’ll last me till I die
We were chasing lovers
When all the dragons had been tamed
The mystery discovered
And all the heroes had been named
We were forging friendships
Under never-ending skies
Out on your open highways
Under your watchful eyes
You can never say how wounds
Will grow up into dreams
Or how the ground beneath your feet
Is firmer than it seems (cause)
This town was big enough
For the three of us to run around in
Till we were tall enough to ride
With fireworks on the summer nights
While lightning played across the sky
It wasn’t much but it’ll last me till I die
If nature’s brightest gold is our first green
This town will always hold a special place
In the treasury, of my memory (oh)
This town was big enough
For the three of us to run around in
Till we were tall enough to ride
With fireworks on the summer nights
While lightning played across the sky
It wasn’t much but it’ll last me till I die

Purple City
04:23
|

Diana, do you wanna come on out and play?
I’ll show ya a little bit of homemade ecstasy
I know ya, that you’re bored and you got nowhere to be
We’ll go there together
Diana, do you wanna come along for a ride?
I’ll take ya to a place where you’ve never felt more alive
It’ll wake ya to all the emptiness inside
We can chase it forever
Purple City, just keep staring into the lights
Looking for Purple City, trying not to lose your sight
Cause the night is young
And the truth still hasn’t hit me
That we’ll lose it when we find it, Purple City
And Tommy, do you wanna head out for a run
On a highway that takes us past the setting sun?
The lights are sparkling on the horizon
We’ll go there together
And Tommy, I think I’m ready to take the leap
Cause falling is better than dying in your sleep
They’re calling, all the things we know we just can’t keep
We’ll lose them together in …
Purple City, just keep staring into the lights
Looking for Purple City, trying not to lose your sight
Cause the night is young
And the truth still hasn’t hit me
That we’ll lose it when we find it, Purple City
Diana, I guess it’s time we headed home
The sunrise is gonna find us both alone
But your heartbeat is still aching in my bones
I’ll always remember ….
Purple City, just keep staring into the lights
Looking for Purple City, trying not to lose your sight
Cause the night is young
And the truth still hasn’t hit me
That we’ll lose it when we find it, Purple City

Your Faded Blue Jeans
04:04
|
|||
Every eye in the place
Is fixed on you
You can feel their gaze
Following you
And they’re sizing you up
And they’re weighing your soul
And you can’t get away
No matter where you go
Everybody’s watching you
As you’re walking down the street
(you can feel it)
Shining like the sun in your faded blue jeans
With your hair done up and your defenses down
And the world at your feet (and you know)
You’re the most magnetic thing they’ve ever seen
You in your faded blue jeans
You were breaking their hearts
But they just didn’t know
While you’re playing your part
We can’t stop the show
And you’re turning their heads
We can’t look away
And you’re knocking them dead
To live another day
Everybody’s watching you
As you’re walking down the street
(you can feel it)
Shining like the sun in your faded blue jeans
With your hair done up and your defenses down
And the world at your feet (and you know)
You’re the most magnetic thing they’ve ever seen
You in your faded blue jeans
You’re more beautiful than you could ever know.
You’re more beautiful than you could ever know, you never know, you never know
Everybody’s watching you
As you’re walking down the street
(you can feel it)
Shining like the sun in your faded blue jeans
With your hair done up and your defenses down
And the world at your feet (and you know)
You’re the most magnetic thing they’ve ever seen
You in your faded blue jeans

A Thousand Words
03:06
|
|||
They say the Inuit up north
Have got a thousand words for snow
And well, honey, I just don’t know if that’s true
But if you need a thousand words
For the stuff of life you need the most
Then I guess I ought to have a thousand words for you
They say that Earnest Hemmingway
Could write a thousand words a day
Well he must have had a most prolific muse
But if you give a thousand words
To the thing that most inspires you
Then I guess I ought to have a thousand words for you
And I remember how they say
That a picture’s worth a thousand words
Well honey, give or take a word or two
But a thousand pictures won’t suffice
To tell you just a single thing
Out of the thousand words I want to say to you
A thousand words could never contain
The one thing I most want you to know
A thousand words could never describe
The beat of my heart
I know its not much,
I know it’s absurd
And I’ll never say something you haven’t heard
I know it falls short, but it’s all I’ve got
A thousand words, a thousand words
It’s better to be thought a fool
They say than open up your mouth
And prove to the whole world that its true
And if brevity’s the soul of wit
Then maybe all I have to do
Is just hold my tongue and let the silence speak to you

Diamond in the Rough
05:47
|
|||
I didn’t know that the day that I sat down beside you
I was sitting down next to my destiny
And I didn’t know that the day you smiled at me the first time
I was meeting a long lost piece of me
And I’m so glad you didn’t let the disguise fool you
I’m so glad you didn’t fall for my bluff
Cause if you had we might have never learned the truth about us (that)
Whatever else we had together
Together we had a diamond in the rough
I didn’t know the first time I felt your breath upon me
How much grace was breathing over me
I didn’t know the first time I held you in my arms
How strong a heart was beating next to me
And I’m so glad all my mistakes never deterred you
I’m so glad that we held on when the going got tough
Cause if we never had we might have never learned the truth about us (that)
Whatever else we had together,
Together we had a diamond in the rough
So place me as a seal upon the hinges of your heart
Like a lover’s seal engraved upon your arm
Cause love is strong as death, more jealous than the grave
And its flame burns with the fire of the Lord
I do not know all the ups and downs that lie before us
And where we’ll be when its all said and done
And I do not know what we’ll see there in the rear-view mirror
When we look back after its all said and done
But I hope it’s true we’ll say we savored every moment
I hope it’s true they’ll say we left a trail of love
Cause if we do that’s how we’ll finally know the truth about us (that)
Whatever else we had together,
Together we had a diamond in the rough

Caedmon's Hymn

Hey there St. Christopher, If you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler like me?
Will you ask the Lord to smile down on this road I’ve walked for miles now
Till I’ve seen all the green earth there is to see?
I’ve seen the sun set sinking over the Serengeti
I’ve watched the camels racing the sands of Dubai
I’ve seen the white ghost walking the trail to Michupichu
I’ve watched the wheat fields ripen under a prairie sky
On trains and planes and elephants, on rickshaws on the run,
They say a pilgrim’s work is never done, so...
Hey there St. Christopher, If you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler like me?
Will you ask the Lord to smile down on this road I’ve walked for miles now
Till I’ve seen all the green earth there is to see?
I’ve miles to go before I sleep
And the open road is calling to me, so...
Hey there St. Christopher, if you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler while he roams
Will you ask the Lord to guide my feet on these open roads and these city streets
Till I walk the final road that brings me home.
I’ve played with polar bears way up in Churchill, Manitoba
I’ve stood upon the sun-scorched slopes of Sinai
I’ve kissed the lucky herring in the Antarctic waters
I’ve found my winding way through the streets of Mumbai
In boats and cars and wheelbarrows, on camels in the sun,
They say a pilgrim’s work is never done, so ....
Hey there St. Christopher, If you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler like me?
Will you ask the Lord to smile down on this road I’ve walked for miles now
Till I’ve seen all the green earth there is to see?
I’ve miles to go before I sleep
And the open road is calling to me, so...
Hey there St. Christopher, if you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler while he roams
Will you ask the Lord to guide my feet on these open roads and these city streets
Till I walk the final road that brings me home.
I’ve seen the sunrise gleaming on the peak of Everest and
I’ve stood upon the banks of the bridge on the river Quai
I’ve heard the kookaburra singing in the old gum tree and
I’ve filled my lungs with the air of a rocky mountain high
In tractors, trucks and motor homes, from Ares Rock to the Yukon
They say a pilgrim’s work is never done, so...
I’ve miles to go before I sleep
And stories to tell and people to meet
And places to know and sights to see
I’ve miles to go before I sleep ... so!
Hey there St. Christopher, If you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler like me?
Will you ask the Lord to smile down on this road I’ve walked for miles now
Till I’ve seen all the green earth there is to see?
I’ve miles to go before I sleep
And the open road is calling to me, so...
Hey there St. Christopher, if you’re out there will you say a prayer
For a world wand’ring rambler while he roams
Will you ask the Lord to guide my feet on these open roads and these city streets
Till I walk the final road that brings me home.

Filthy Lucre
04:54
|

Billy was a big shot on Bay Street
Waiting for his ship to come in
He didn’t wanna miss it when it landed so he stole
His anchor from another man
He said, everybody wants a little bit of sugar
All its gonna cost you is some filthy lucre
Filth, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Did you get some on your hands?
Filthy, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Waiting for your promised land
We’re all filthy
Lady couldn’t seem to make ends meet
Wearing down her fingers to bone
She didn’t wanna beg or borrow so she sold
The only thing she had of her own
You could find her working nights until the streets took her
With nothing in her pockets but filthy lucre
Filth, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Did you get some on your hands?
Filthy, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Waiting for your promised land
We’re all filthy
Joey was a preacher for hire
Praying over innocent souls
He dressed his Bible up in a bright white suit
So they wouldn’t notice what he stole
He could work the room
Till the spirit shook ‘er
With nothing in the plate but filthy lucre
We’re all innocent
But nobody’s clean
Everybody’s money
Is the same shade of green
We’re all in this tub together
The butcher, the baker
The hooker, the preacher, and me
Wally had a way to get rich quick
Working on a pyramid scheme
He didn’t wanna wake up when the nightmare came
And shatter his American Dream
He didn’t have to go out and commit murder
All he had to do was make some filthy lucre
Filth, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Did you get some on your hands?
Filthy, Filthy, Filthy Lucre
Waiting for your promised land
We’re all filthy

Whirling Dervish
04:39
|
|||
And I had no rhythm when I first met you
But you called me out onto the floor
Just these clumsy feet and no dancing shoes
And my heart was heading for the door
But you caught my eye with your mysterious ways
And you took my hand and you compelled me to stay
As the music swelled I thought I heard you say
That tomorrow’s gonna be my dancing day
And You, you, you came into my life
Like a whirling dervish
Knocking over everything
And dancing like a ray of light
On the water’s surface
I’ll follow you as you dance
And I had no style and I had no poise
And I kept on fumbling the beat
But you didn’t mind when I kept stepping on your toes
With my stumbling heart and heavy feet
But you caught my eye with your mysterious ways
And you took my hand and you compelled me to stay
As the music swelled I thought I heard you say
That tomorrow’s gonna be my dancing day
And You, you, you came into my life
Like a whirling dervish
Knocking over everything
And dancing like a ray of light
On the water’s surface
I’ll follow you as you dance
Spin around and around and around and around
Spin around and around and around x 2
And they say King David liked to dance before the Lord
Well he must have known a thing or two
A secret step to match his secret chord
For a secret song he learned from you
But you caught my eye with your mysterious ways
And you took my hand and you compelled me to stay
As the music swelled I thought I heard you say
That tomorrow’s gonna be my dancing day
And You, you, you came into my life
Like a whirling dervish
Knocking over everything
And dancing like a ray of light
On the water’s surface
I’ll follow you as you dance

Ethereal
04:05
|

You are far stronger than you could ever know
But you’re fragile, so fragile
Like a melting flake of snow
You are far plainer than you could ever see
But you’re beautiful, you are beautiful
You are beautiful to me
You are ethereal, be patient
With all that’s still unsolved inside
You are ethereal I can see your soul
Stepping tentatively into the light
And like the breath in a gasp of sheer delight
It’ll be gone before you know
You are ethereal
You are far safer than you could ever know
But you’re dangerous, you are dangerous
Scattering the darkness wherever you go
And you’re more glorious than anyone can see
But the light that shines within you now
Isn’t as bright as it will be
You are ethereal, be patient
With all that’s still unsolved inside
You are ethereal I can see your soul
Stepping tentatively into the light
And like the breath in a gasp of sheer delight
It’ll be gone before you know
You are ethereal

Hear a rattle of wings
Like a whisper of death
In a wilderness bleached by the sun
And the stubble is dry
And there’s nothing else left
When the black cloud is lifted and gone
When the bones are picked clean
And the heart has been turned into dust
You can’t unsee what you’ve seen
And there’s nobody left you can trust
I’ll pay you back for the years the locusts have stolen
I’ll pay you back for the tears that fell in the dark
When the sun has turned black and the stars from the sky are fallen
I’ll pay you back, I’ll pay you back
And you’re not who you were
And you’re not who you are
And you’re not who you’re gonna be
And you can’t get it back
And you can’t let it go
And you can’t find a way to get free
Like a stone in your heart
It’ll weigh you down, regret
And it’ll tear you apart
All the things you can’t forget
I’ll pay you back for the years the locusts have stolen
I’ll pay you back for the tears that fell in the dark
When the sun has turned black and the stars from the sky are fallen
I’ll pay you back, I’ll pay you back

Salome Danced
04:23
|

Salome’s eyes danced glittering like the stars at midnight
Salome’s eyes danced ebony behind the veil
Brimming like a chalice of gold full wine dark red
Salome danced (she danced) and St. John lost his head
Salome’s hands danced fragrant and dripping with myrrh
Salome’s hands danced fluttering behind the veil
Soaring like a bird of paradise with wings outspread
Salome danced (she danced) and St John lost his head
For a fleeting glimpse behind the seven veils
St John lost his head
For a lingering touch of those gilded nails
St John lost his head
Just to lift her to his lips like the holy grail
Yeah St John lost his head
Salome’s feet danced jangling with bells of silver
Salome’s feet danced luminous on barefoot souls
Gliding like a vapor of incense with a graceful tread
Salome danced (she danced) and St John lost his head
For a fleeting glimpse behind the seven veils
St John lost his head
For a lingering touch of those gilded nails
St John lost his head
Just to lift her to his lips like the holy grail
Yeah St John lost his head
And O I see her hiding in the shadows
Somewhere in the darkness a little girl cries
While mamma was waiting
And the party guests were watching
And Herod was laughing
Ah something inside her died
For a fleeting glimpse behind the seven veils
St John lost his head
For a lingering touch of those gilded nails
St John lost his head
Just to lift her to his lips like the holy grail
Yeah St John lost his head
Like the tragic ending of a sordid tale
Yeah St. John lost his head

I’m being haunted
By a scent of smoke
I’m just being taunted
Cause when I look around
Nothing’s burning
Oh, how I hunted
For a scent of smoke
I had what I wanted
But when I woke I found
Empty yearning
Like a bird in a fist
That flutters away
Before it can be glimpsed
Like a dream that escaped
Before the dreamer awoke
My heart has been shaped
By a scent of smoke
Still I’m undaunted
I can take a joke
And yet I’m haunted
Cause when I look around
Nothing’s burning
Like a bird in a fist
That flutters away
Before it can be glimpsed
Like a dream that escaped
Before the dreamer awoke
My heart has been shaped
By a scent of smoke

Waiting for Godot
04:12
|

O Godot, Godot, where did you go?
And when you coming back?
Cause a pocketful of promises
Can’t make up for what I lack
I keep waiting on the corner
But you just don’t show
And it gets so lonely sometimes
Waiting for Godot
O Godot, Godot, I just wanna know
How long’s it gonna take
I’ve been hanging around for a while now
And my fingers are starting to ache
I don’t know if I can keep holding on
But I’m afraid to let go
It just gets lonely sometimes when you’re
Waiting for Godot
O Godot, I know, it’s not apropos
But it never hurts to ask
If you could find the lost boy
Behind the looking glass
He went out one day to look for you
But that was long ago
And he’s still out there somewhere still
Waiting for Godot

Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I’m waiting for someone to come along and save me
Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I don’t want to leave but I know I can’t stay
And the flickering light is playing tricks on my sight
While I’m sitting at the bottom of the cave
There’s a darkness that shines
Brighter than the daylight
There’s a dying place
That breathes there deeper than the soul
There’s a cleansing buried in the mire
There’s a healing burning in the fire
There’s a needing that’s sharper than desire
And a thirst in the ache when the aching makes you whole
Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I’m waiting for someone to come along and save me
Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I don’t want to leave but I know I can’t stay
And the flickering light is playing tricks on my sight
While I’m sitting at the bottom of the cave
And I’m stuck here again
How I go there I don’t know
Just a slip of the hands
And suddenly I find myself groping through the shadows
In the darkness where the light is deceiving
On a journey where the path is misleading
For vision where the blindness is believing
As the past rattles round like a never-ending echo
Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I’m waiting for someone to come along and save me
Sitting at the bottom of Nickajack Cave
I don’t want to leave but I know I can’t stay
And the flickering light is playing tricks on my sight
While I’m sitting at the bottom of the cave

The 81 Percent
04:15
|

The dealer played the tump card
When the stakes were getting high
And the Joker upped the ante
With a twinkle in his eye
The players they all folded
Cause they knew just what it meant
That the chance of drawing aces was 81%
The chance of drawing aces
The chance of drawing aces (yeah)
The chance of drawing aces was 81%
And I don’t wanna talk / About politics and faith
And I don’t wanna walk the line / Between the church and the state
Cause I can’t really say / Who’s hell bent or heaven sent
But I don’t wanna be a part / Of the 81%
The temperature was rising
And the cistern was bone dry
And the clouds were piling up
In an apocalyptic sky
With lightning on the wind
With a cold metallic scent
Cause the chance of thunderstorms was 81%
The chance of thunder storms
The chance of thunder storms (yeah)
The chance of thunder storms was 81%
And I don’t wanna talk / About politics and faith
And I don’t wanna walk the line / Between the church and the state
Cause I can’t really say / Who’s hell bent or heaven sent
But I don’t wanna be a part / Of the 81%
And if we sold our souls
At least it was on the level
That’s the art of a deal
With the 81%
And all the merchants gathered
Together for the feast
And someone raised a glass
To the dragon and the beast
And Lazarus was calling
But no one would repent
Cause the profits all were up by 81%
The profits all were up
The profits all were up (yeah)
The profits all were up by 81%
And I don’t wanna talk / About politics and faith
And I don’t wanna walk the line / Between the church and the state
Cause I can’t really say / Who’s hell bent or heaven sent
But I don’t wanna be a part / Of the 81%

Lightning in a Jar
06:04
|

Like the leaves in early September
Still green but touched with a promise of gold
Or the red of a glowing ember
Just waiting for the breath of a flame to take hold
I can see her standing in the doorway
Between the days behind her and the days yet to come
Like the end of the prologue to the story
Or the start of a brand new one
But she … Oh then she stops and turns
She’s a cloud in its journey cross the sun
Cause I see my little girl in the shadow of the woman she’s become
And then she smiles and just for an instant
All of the world is brimming with light
I see her shining there in the brilliance
Piercing the sky like a flash in the night
The past rushes by like the wind in her hair
Chasing the future with a song and a prayer
Spirit on fire and her heart like a lodestar
Waiting to break through the dark like lightning in a jar
How the leaves of late November
Rattle round on the street with the coming of the cold
When the summer is hard to remember
Like an epic story that’s waiting to be told
Oh I saw her standing in the distance
Like the dawn of a spring that’s ready to begin
And she rises with grace and persistence
To welcome it in!
But she … Oh then she stops and turns
She’s a cloud in its journey cross the sun
Cause I see my little girl in the shadow of the woman she’s become
And then she smiles and just for an instant
All of the world is brimming with light
I see her shining there in the brilliance
Piercing the sky like a flash in the night
The past rushes by like the wind in her hair
Chasing the future with a song and a prayer
Spirit on fire and her heart like a lodestar
Waiting to break through the dark like lightning in a jar
We made it through the storm, rolling with the thunder
Dancing in the summer rain till the clouds broke with rays of wonder
The past rushes by like the wind in her hair
Chasing the future with a song and a prayer
Spirit on fire and her heart like a lodestar
Waiting to break through the dark like lightning in a jar
And then she smiles and just for an instant
All of the world is brimming with light
I see her shining there in the brilliance
Piercing the sky like a flash in the night
The past rushes by like the wind in her hair
Chasing the future with a song and a prayer
Spirit on fire and her heart like a lodestar
Waiting to break through the dark like lightning in a jar

They say that Bobby met her back in High School
When Katie was a girl of seventeen
And he gave his heart away
In Spanish class that day
To the loveliest girl that he had ever seen
Now Katie had been through a lot already
She was young but she was older than her years
But he took her hand in his
And she gave him her first kiss
Not knowing one day they’d look back and say
That Bobby taught his kids how to swing a hammer
And Katie taught them how to lead the charge
And together they taught them how to hold on
True when the holding’s hard
And how to aim your life to please the Lord
Then Bobby ran away to join the navy
Whether running from or running to they’d never say
He came to himself one night
And he knew it wasn’t right
So he ran back home to Katie’s arms to stay
I like to think she met him on the platform
With no ring but he got down on bended knee
He asked her if she’d do
And she asked if he would too
And hand in hand they became a family, where
Bobby taught his kids how to swing a hammer
And Katie taught them how to lead the charge
And together they taught them how to hold on
True when the holding’s hard
And how to aim your life to please the Lord
They settled down to build a life together
In a little yellow house beside the cove
They had pains and they had joys
They had three rambunctious boys
And they held it all together with their love
Then Bobby wandered west to make his fortune
And Katie came along within the year
Out in the Prairie sun
Three boys turned into men
Nurtured by their laughter and their tears
Cause Bobby taught his kids how to swing a hammer
And Katie taught them how to lead the charge
And together they taught them how to hold on
True when the holding’s hard
And how to aim your life to please the Lord
And I can only hope that I might build a home
As well as Bobby built
And I can only hope to find within me Katie’s strength
And I can only hope that I might live as well
As they taught me to
Cause years run by and dreams turn in to memories
Like footprints covered over by the snow
But whatever the’ve yet to find
And whatever gets left behind
The greatest legacy is just to know...
That Bobby taught his kids how to swing a hammer
And Katie taught them how to lead the charge
And together they taught them how to hold on
True when the holding’s hard
And how to aim your life to please the Lord
Yeah, how to aim your life to please the Lord
You know they aimed their life to please the Lord

Standing Here Today

Looking back I can see the waves breaking on the strand (of the beach)
Three sets of footprints there, pressed into the sand (I can see)
All those times we thought that we were walking hand in hand
He was there between us
There were days when the waves were high and I thought I was carrying you
And those days when the storm was dark and I thought you carried me too (I saw)
One set of footprints when I thought there should have been two
‘cause he carried us both
You and I we’re still standing here today
We didn’t have a map
And yet somehow we found out way
The days fly by yet the memories never fade
We didn’t have a script or know what parts to play
When we forgot our lines he reminded
He held us, He carried and guided
All that we needed his hand hath provided
And we’re standing, we’re still standing here today
Up ahead I can see the morning shining in your eyes
When every wave is stilled and every tear is dried (and the)
The horizon’s bursting with that glorious sunrise
We’ll be standing with him
And looking back we will see the footprints winding along the sea
Sometimes there’s one set and other times there’s three (And we’ll say)
Whenever he was carrying you he was also carrying me
Now we’re here together and...
You and I we’re still standing here today
We didn’t have a map
And yet somehow we found out way
The days fly by yet the memories never fade
We didn’t have a script or know what parts to play
When we forgot our lines he reminded
He held us, He carried and guided
All that we needed his hand hath provided
And we’re standing, we’re still standing here today
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
You and I we’re still standing here today
We didn’t have a map
And yet somehow we found out way
The days fly by yet the memories never fade
We didn’t have a script or know what parts to play
When we forgot our lines he reminded
He held us, He carried and guided
All that we needed his hand hath provided
And we’re standing, we’re still standing here today

One day the sun will rise
Like a banner of love unfurled
That’s when we’ll realize
That beauty will save the world
One day the rain will fall
On the dry ground like a fist uncurled
That’s when the earth will call
On beauty to save ….
All shall be well (I believe it, that)
All shall be well
All manner of thing shall be well
All shall be well (I swear it, that)
All shall be well
All manner of thing shall be well
One day we’ll all hold hands
All his lost boys and his hurting girls
That’s when we’ll understand
How beauty can save the world
One day the sun will rise
Like a banner of love unfurled
That’s when we’ll realize
That beauty will save…
All shall be well (I believe it, that)
All shall be well
All manner of thing shall be well
All shall be well (I swear it, that)
All shall be well
All manner of thing shall be well

Godspeed

Slow down you, move too fast
You’ve got eternity stretching out before you
Don’t miss this too, before this too has past
Just take a breath, and take my hand, we’ll get there soon
At God speed—the future unfolds so slowly
At God speed—the past it lingers long
At God speed—a thousand years exploding
At God speed—like the quaver in a song
Where a heartbeat lasts forever and forever lasts a day
And we sit there lost in wonder till there’s nothing left to say
And there’s no one in a hurry cause right now is all we need
And we stroll into the distance till we’re moving away at God speed
Slow down you miss too much
You’re like a tourist snapping selfies of heaven
There’s so much more than we can see or touch
So hold your breath, and hold my hand, we’ll get there soon
At God speed—the future unfolds slowly
At God speed—the past it lingers long
At God speed—a thousand years explode
At God speed—like the quaver in a song
Where a heartbeat lasts forever and forever lasts a day
And we sit there lost in wonder till there’s nothing left to say
And there’s no one in a hurry cause right now is all we need
And we stroll into the distance till we’re finally on our way, moving a God speed
