A page is turned by the wind to a boy with curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten But as history unfolds and the storybook is told He finds salvation not at the hands of man And the God of second chance Picked him up and He let him dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, preparing him the one To hold him up when he comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And now a man, here you stand Your day has come A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow With a careful cover of love that will not fail And the God of second chance Picked her up and He let her dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, preparing her the one To hold her up when she comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And grown up tall, here you are Your day has come Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by the hand And warm beneath the ardor, she took his heart instead And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand Just for her hand A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife And there is no secret to the source of this much life When the grace falls like rain is washing them again Just a chance to somehow rise above this land Where the God of second chance Will pick them up and He'll let them dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, they're sharing with the one That holds them up when they come undone Beneath the sotrm, beneath the sun And once again, here you stand And once again, here you stand Your day has come |

I believe when they put her in the ground
I think they buried part of me Cause I've been searching I've been looking all around But I cannot find the heart of me The heart of me So I put my fingers in this soil upon her grave And I will plant for her a garden And every flower a reminder of her face Will grow up graceful as a pardon And all that grows is her story told As life unfolds here before us The peace I've found in this broken ground I can see her in the harvest Of all that I have sown And long before I was covered up in grey Before the old had bent my bones We grow our children in the red Georgia clay They were our garden and our home And that grows is our story told As life unfolds here before us The peace we've found in that broken ground I can see them in the harvest Of all that I have sown And when my life is done I pray the kingdom come Take me to glory And it's living inside me It was planted like a seed All to tell a story And I believe when they put me in the ground There will remain a part of me Cause I've been searching And the joy that I have found Is living in my family It's all that I have sown It's all that I have sown |

Oh my love, don't you cry
I won't leave you alone tonight So put your hand back into mine And I will hold you until the end of time I hung my hope on your return Now all that sorrow so soon will burn So tend my heart with tender hands And see your sunshine pouring in All the world is at my feet Cause you came sailing back to me So look around you and look outside A great big love and the big blue sky And all the spring, and all this light And all these treetops....well, they're all mine |

I can't stand the sound
Of losing control But whenever you're around I can't find the breath to speak at all I need you to be careful with me... Please don't go away Please don't leave me here I know if you don't stay My heart will disappear...I need beautiful you Your love brings me in And swallows me whole But underneath your skin Is the only peace I know All that I need is you here with me... Please don't go away Please don't leave me here I know if you don't stay My heart will disappear This world will disappear...I need beautiful you |

I don't have a lot to give
This broken world can make it hard to live I got nothing left to say My empty words have simply gone away But this big blue sky Shows me all that I have got And you're by my side To be everything I'm not The angels sigh I breathe deep the breath of God I cannot find another sky My thoughts are heavy and they cloud my eyes But when I'm searching for the sun You rise up quickly with your kingdom come I'm coming alive Nothing is good apart from you I'm coming alive...with you I may not have a lot to give This broken world can make it hard to live I may have nothing left to say But I know that you will never go away |

Today I woke up early, today I woke up sad
It's funny how it hurts me, the love I've never had But I can feel you breaking me through this mess I can feel you through this loneliness Show me that Life shines with you You show me that Life shines with you Break me through I think that I can hear it Is it a trumpet or a train And now I'm drawing near it And it's calling out my name I got nothing to lose I got nothing to prove in this mess There's nothing to lose But all this emptiness If I had a ladder To reach up to the sky I would climb up there forever It would just be you and I And I would feel you Breaking me through this mess I would feel you Through this loneliness |

She turned her head as if to hide;
There was just nowhere to go. 'Cause standing tall on every side The mighty fear of letting go She said, "My God, I'm so ashamed. Thirty years; a tragedy. I still believed that he could change. But he pulled me down, like gravity. He broke my will, but it's deeper still... ...deeper still." She told me morning was the time When the sun burned bright and clean And love grew fragile on the vine, All wrapped up in gold and green. "Because after all, we know we all Are after all the same things. But for the sun no rain would fall; And it burned him up and turned him mean. This fire that kills me, it's deeper still... ...deeper still." Tonight I rose up with the moon, And looking down from high above I saw a world carved and confused Into valleys deep in need of love. And falling down all thick with grace, Heaven's cloud of mystery Was filling every empty space, Down to the depth of human need (Love that heals me, love that heals me) This love that heals, it's deeper still (Love that's deeper still) (Love that heals me, love that heals me) This love that heals, it's deeper still... (Love that's deeper still) ...it's deeper still |

When day is over
I'll be the color in the sky If darkness lingers I'll be the flame that gives you light I just want you to notice I just want you to feel the same I just want you to notice That I just want to be your everything I just want to be your everything On my shoulder There is a place for you to cry I'll be your shelter When there is nowhere left to hide Sometimes I see you cry When you watch the sun go down You're magical, so beautiful, and I... When day is over I'll be the color in the sky |

Angels on a subway
She's buried in a magazine Stuck inside a replay Of someone else's dream Prophets made of paper Don't tell her anything She wants something just to save her So she lifts her head and screams She lifts her head and screams, CHORUS "I don't know you But I love you anyway I can't see you But I hope you're here to stay I don't know you But I need you here with me Cuz I'm falling down I'm falling down" Now angels on a runway Looking for a big jet plane To take her to a new day She won't be back again She won't be back again And she says, CHORUS BRIDGE You're on my side You're just in time I'm on my way Don't know who you are But I want you back again CHORUS |

Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day And I can tell by this stretch of silver Spreading all out across the curves of your face And for the love, for the love of God I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone And in a world that broke me down I'm standing up, but not alone 'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell But love is pushing me along I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail I can smell the summer in the air And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul Son, I know that it don't seem fair But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home I've got friends here that love me I've got all this mercy beating in my blood And I've got friends here that love me And that's something good, that's something good You and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back) I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back) |

I didn't know
How I'd love you When I walked into your life Now I have a heart I cannot keep And the greatest of fear Is that you'll leave me here Stranded in this water So deep So don't you turn away from me Because my heart and my hold Are in your hands If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands Just so you know I have never done this sort of thing before I've never given up my very soul But I have heard a voice Like none I've heard before And it's a voice that never grows old So don't you turn from me Because my heart and my hopes Are in your hands If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands So don't you turn away from me Because my heart and my hopes Are in your hands And If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands I'm in your hands I know I'm in your hands |

And everything I know just to see it through To let all the others fade away And turn all my darkness into day My love, I would give my soul just to look at you Would you believe in me Or would you walk away in need Would you believe in me Or would you turn away and leave Either way, my love... I would give my soul just to look at you If you found my heart would you run it dry And break it all apart just to run and hide And make all the colors fade away Into another shade of gray My love, I'd still give my soul just to look at you Would you believe in me Or would you walk away in need Cause I don't know where, and I don't know how But I just want to see you now So would you believe in me Or would you turn away and leave Either way, my love....

It's a long way home, when the fists have flown
In the silence, there's nowhere left to run It's the battle of our pending love In the shadow is another smoking gun When we dreamed this dream for the first it seemed We could live this love for a lifetime You and me (chorus) I will not give up this fight I will not lay down and die I will not carry this heart of stone I may not be your place to run I may not be your kingdom come I may stumble through this great unknown But I will be all that is true I will not give up on you I was made to be with you alone Cause you and me, we're gonna see The long way home It's a long way home, and crying is done But the sorrow is still wet upon your face Our colliding hearts, sometimes break apart But now the pieces are gathered up in grace When we dream this dream for the last time we'll see That we lived this love for a lifetime Just you and me (chorus) Cause you and I, we're gonna fly The long way home |

My love, will you take my hand and run
My love, can't you see that we have just begun When she walks into a room, the whole world freezes To watch her spin just like the wind above the ground She won't break into you heart, she just eases Without a sound... My love is deeper than the darkness of my soul And my love has the habit of forgetting to let go And the crowd was pressing inlike perfect strangers That was the day I felt her hand slip out of mine She looked at me and I don't think she even wavered As she waved goodbye... She did not cry... But she waved goodbye... My love, why did you take my heart and run My love, can't you see that we had just begun |

I wonder why, I wonder why Because everybody dreams before they fall A wonder world and then we lose it all But I will dream of tomorrow Where the past will not be in my way Passion lives another day And I will dream of tomorrow Where perhaps she'll wait for me And every single heart that I have held In my hands, in my clumsy hands I fumbled them around until they fell It's much safer ground just keeping to myself But I still dream of tomorrow Where the past will not be in my way Passion lives another day And I still dream of tomorrow Where perhaps she'll wait for me And perhaps she'll wait for me |

Lay down softly in our sorrow
Lay down sister to die And cover over, my sweet Father Cover over her eyes Your broken body, it cannot weather The years your youth still longs to spend So go down graceful, sleep with the angels And wake up whole again ‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line A fallen world took your life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down Slower passing are the hours To tell this tale that takes its time But the finest moment, no man can measure Is to look your Savior in the eyes So take her tender to Your table Take her from this killing floor To taste the water that is forever Let her be thirsty no more It was not her time; that's a useless line A fallen world took her life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down And the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, Rita, lay down |

Tonight I dreamed that you were gone And I could feel the ocean pound against my chest In this world on my own This frozen world...alone But if you must go away WOuld you find no words to say Would you steal my heart away Please don't go, but I know along this way We've seen the miracles And the long road And the breath that blows across the water We've seen the last line Of a failing time But these friends of mine are sons and daughters Sons and daughters Underneath a clouded sky we found a home The mountains rising from the sea And the falling rain washed us clean and healed our souls The waters rise but then they fall I close my eyes, and our summer's gone And now you must go away And should you find no words to say And should you steal my heart away I would let it go, because I know along this way |

A shapeless piece of steel
That's all I claim to be This hammer pounds to give me form This flame, it melts my dreams I glow with fire and fury As I'm twisted like a vine My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the flames And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is untold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds And the water, it cools me gray And the hurt's subdued somehow I have my shape, this sharpened point What is my purpose now? And the question still remains What am I to be? Perhaps some perfect piece of art Displayed for all to see So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the flames And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is untold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds The hammer pounds again But flames I do not feel This force that drives me, helplessly Through flesh and wood reveal A burn that burns much deeper It's more than I can stand The reason for my life was to take The life of a guiltless man So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the pain And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is so bold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds This task before me may seem unclear But it, my maker holds |

You're waking me up from my daydream
Making me look up from my precious world Forcing me to see your point of view This broken sidewalk, not so broken as The man who likes to walk, jumping all the cracks Pushing his old bike, he's sure to smile at you I was looking for the quick way home But you were happy just to be alone Something magic must have caught my eye I saw the secret of the man inside I saw the secret of the man inside It's not the sun-baked brick lines in your skin Thick with chain grease, aged and clumsy hands It isn't struggled words you fight to say Beneath the man-suit, beneath your purple skin There is a boy who don't know that he's a man He simply close his eyes and he can fly away I was driving in the same old car But you were dreaming of a land so far away I was looking through my corner eye But you were singing with the man inside You were singing with the man inside Some think they got a lot to offer some think they got a lot to give Those people think they own this world but some people know to truly live |

It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and I walk away There's an angry world pressed against my back And at every turn I keep looking back And I know you promise me Love through eternity So why can't I just hold on I want to live, I want to love But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough I want to laugh, I want to be set free And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me But I don't know where to start It's on the tip of my heart So would you take my hand, because I'm sinking in To this life I've made, but don't understand The clock moves so slowly, but time goes so fast In this whirlwind world that will never last This love you're giving me It's not just make believe Help me just to hold one You open the sky, and open my eyes And all my fears are scattered away So I walk in grace, because I've seen your face You are all that matters to me So I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love I'm not afraid because your grace will always be enough I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna be set free And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me You have shown me where to start It's on the tip of my heart |

And every song I sing And every love I've ever known Will never be enough To ever fill me up Like the calling of my soul I know that everything One day everything will cry out... Everything under the sun Voices sing out to the one Who made the stars up in the sky...and you and I Every heart that ever hurt And every kingdom on the earth Will see the heavens open up Over everything under the sun From the city streets And from the fields of green And up from every crying stone There will rise a voice That will leave no choice It will come to call us home I know that everything One day everything will cry out.... Let it fall just like the rain Hear it calling out your name Let it come inside and take you over Every breath I breathe And every song I sing And every love I've ever known |

Or maybe in a cloud Her daddy would be so proud Little miss beauty queen But then she fell down And underneath her gown No backbone could be found It was all skin and nicotine Underneath these empty things We're made of, we're made of Underneath these empty things We're made of one love Just past three a.m. I saw a preacher man He had heaven in his hand on satellite TV And he'll fix your sorry life And then he'll fix the price Because Heaven sure is nice But salvation isn't free And now could it be instead That we've lost our innocence But one day this pain will end Hope is coming back again And we can live forever Well I have heard it said That maybe God is dead Or some would say instead He just up and went away But I saw him in a cloud I saw him in a crowd Yeah, he just looked around And he loved us all anyway |

It's a better place
Standing high upon this mountain I've seen your face Full of the light that holiest height can show Blessed hand is why you you've given But you've been given all you'll ever need To know Chourus: So walk down this mountain With your heart held high Follow in the footsteps of your maker With this love that's gone before you And these people at your side If you offer up your broken cup You will taste the meaning of this life Hey hey Well it's a common ground And I see you're all still standing But just look around and you'll find The very face of God He's walking down into the distance He's walking down to where the masses are Chourus This life We're standing in a place of peace And this is how the world should be How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with your heart held high) How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with you heart held high) How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with your heart held high) How the world should be Chourus -music fades- Hey hey |

I don't know why
I always run Is it fear of the fall? Or fear of the touch And I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know how To really love I've never stood still Long enough I don't know where The angels sleep But I am alive Standing strong I'm no farther forward Just farther along Hold onto my pride I'm digging deep It's pulling me down And I am no closer To thee And I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know how To see you A friend from before Is different somehow I don't know where The angels sleep And I don't know when I'll love again But I don't trust myself To just let you in I don't know where The angels sleep But I am alive Standing strong I'm no farther forward Just farther along I've held onto my pride Digging deep It's pulling me down I am no closer To thee And I don't know where The angels sleep Its taken ten thousand days To get stuck in my ways It offers no grace I cannot stand this place With love and my faith I walk away slowly I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know where The angels sleep |

Everyone it seems
Is looking for the grass that's greener here And through my window pane The scenery flies by and disappears So tell to me the secret That won't let the memories fade away Until I am home again....where the trees stand still Yesterday it seems I traveled in a younger man's clothes Living out this dream And wandering through fields of touch and go Moving on forever Watching the distance fade away But now I just want to land...where the trees stand still All this time On this line Here then I am gone Tonight I want a life Where the faces are the same most every day Tonight I want a wife To sit with me and watch our children play All the world between us Watching the years fade away And when the laughing's done...we'll watch the trees stand still Everyday...where the trees stand still We will make a home...where the trees stand still |

There's never a day away from you
I'm not a complete mess If I ever stay away from you It's only emptiness But love lasts longer And love stands stronger Than anything that's in between us There's never a day away from you Girl, you surround me You're all around me You capture me with everything you do Girl, you surround me There's never a day away from you When I'm able to breathe Whatever this world is coming to I want you next to me Because love lasts longer And love stands stronger Than anything that's in between us There's never a day away from you Girl, you surround me You're all around me You capture me with everything you do Girl, you surround me You're all around me You capture me with everything you do Girl, you surround me And I know the sun will rise and fall But we will make it through it all I will love you until life is over |
