Bebo Norman

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

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

Sometimes at night
I am afraid
I cover my eyes,
Cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The wind of this world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
But here in the dark
I’m not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

I would give my soul just to look at you
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....
I would give my soul just to look at you

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

Feels like a brand-new day
And I know I'm not the same
Cuz I see you
And I need you
And I know I couldn't leave you if I tried
To walk away

Your love won't bring me down

I'm living that long, long life
And I will not let you go
It's taken a long, long time
To get here
It could be a long, long life
But I will not let you go
Cuz love will be
Our mystery

So let's leave this world behind
And see what we can find
Cuz I don't need it
But believe it
And I know I couldn't keep it if I tried
Cuz you changed my mind

Your love don't bring me down

I'm living that long, long life
And I will not let you go
It's taken a long, long time
To get here
It could be a long, long life
But I will not let you go
Cuz love will be
Our mystery

Our mystery
Our mystery
We won't be alone

I'm living that long, long life
And I will not let you go
It's taken a long, long time
To get here
It could be a long, long life
But I will not let you go
Cuz love will be
Our mystery

Our mystery

Our mystery

(Verse 1:)
Take my heart, and wring it out
In Your hands and watch it all collapse
Take Your Love, and drive it in
Into my soul, and never leave again

(Chorus:)
Cuz I am so afraid
That I'll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid
That I'll find myself alone
Lookin for a savior, Lookin for a home


So don't leave me here alone
Don't leave me here alone

(Verse 2:)
All Your hope, and all my pride
All this time to watch it all collide
When everyone seems to say,
'You can work it out'
Under my skin, I'm shaking
And I can't get out

(Chorus)

So don't leave me here

(Bridge:)

This is not what You said
It's all in my head
When I throw my anger at You instead
So don't give up on me
I want to believe
That You'll never leave me

But I am so afraid
That I'll find myself alone
Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home
I am so afraid
That I'll find myself alone
Deep into the ages, deep into the foam
I am so afraid
That I'll find myself alone
Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home

So don't leave me here alone
Don't leave me here alone

Every breath I breathe
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

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

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

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

Cover me, cover up my tears
Cover up this man who's covered up in fear
I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you
TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me, then you hold me

Cover up my heart, cover up my soul
Cover up this world and everything I know
You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea
Cover up the mountains and every part of me
Everything single breath I breathe...cover me

I am still alive and covered up in years
Covered up in lines as innocence appears
So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you
To cover all that's old with everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
And you unfold me, then you hold me
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me then you hold me
I want to shed this skin
You unveil me with your mercy
You unfold me, then you hold me
You unbreak me, would you take me home

Come along, I'll walk you through the world
And we will sing a different song
All along you have unfurled
But I will hold you from now on
I saw the day when you had lost your way
I saw the sun sinking low
I saw the night, remember how you cried
But don't you know you're not alone
No, you're not alone

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

Come with me, I'll take you to the sea
And it will be all beautiful
And all the water that covers everything
Cannot compare to my love
FOr you my love

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

WHen the light won't come
When your breath is gone
WHen your hope is done
Just look at me, look at me

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

They say you cannot walk before you crawl
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

Tonight I dreamed that I could not catch my breath
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

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

I saw her in a crowd
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

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

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

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

I can tell by this crack of light
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 got a little hope in my pocket
I want to share of it with you
Just be careful that you don't drop it
Don't worry if you do
'Cause I've got broken down inside me
And I might just need some help
But I will get by
Hey, hey

And I've got demons in my history
Got bone beneath my skin
I've been taken by a mystery
Yes I've been taken in
And sometimes voices down inside me
Try to fight me for myself
I will get by
Hey, hey

What have I got to live for
If there is nothing beating in my chest
And what have I got to live for
When this world starts turning
It's burning me up
I'm alright

I used to think love was just a barter
Second hand coincidence
What doesn't kill you just makes you harder
So I use my common sense
Keeping cold to keep my distance
Til you took my pride away
Now I will get by
Yeah, yeah

'Cause what have I got to live for
There is nothing beating in my chest
And what have I got to live for
When this world starts turning
It's burning me up
I'm alright

But I am not afraid
No I am not afraid

And I will not go crazy

I got a little hope here in my pocket
Want to share of it with you
Just be careful that you don't drop it
Don't worry if you do
'Cause I've got voices down inside me
And I might just need some help
I will get by
Hey, hey

What have I got to live for
There's nothing beating in my chest
And what have I got to live for
When this world starts turning
Burning me up

When my heart is hurting
I'm learning about love
When this world starts turning
It's burning me up
I'm alright

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

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

The time is ours, your open arms
These frozen fields, all here at Selwood Farm
This swollen love reminds me of
Your spilling soul that somehow always fills me up

Every word is true
Gathered hearts are here just to sing their soul to you
And every word is true
I'm happy when I'm here with you, oh with you
At Selwood Farm

I see the sisters smiling
I see the light upon their face
Here is the promise that fills this place
There is an edge of winter
But there is fire that keeps us warm
This is the harvest at Selwood Farm

And these are the sons and daughters
They turn in the leaves then come inside
I welcome the healing of all my pride
And this is a day worth keeping
This is a day worth dwelling on
This is the day at Selwood Farm

And I don't know why, but my heart just smiles
And I know that each day we're growing older
But I still know the way
So take me to the day
Take me to the day
At Selwood Farm
Selwood Farm

I'm walking in an open field looking for some space to fill
I believe there's something left to hold
So even when the sun goes down and there's no one around
I'm standing in the freedom of my soul

And the truth of the matter is still the same
It's that you and I, we will not be here forever
The truth of the matter is still the same

I'm ready to stand
Ready to stand
Ready to stand
Ready to stand
Stand, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know, I know, know I

I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear
I can see it falling to its knees
But you know I'm not the same, my burden is a burning flame
I hold it up for all the world to see

But the truth of the matter is still the same
It's that you and I, we will not be here forever
The truth of the matter is still the same

I'm ready to stand
Ready to stand
Ready to stand
Ready to stand
Stand, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know, I know, know I

I'm walking in an open field, looking for some space to fill
I believe there's something left to hold
And I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear
I'm standing in the freedom of my soul
So even when the sun goes down, and there's no one around
Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down
Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down
Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down

I stand
Ready to stand
You know, you know, you know, you know
I stand
Ready to stand
Stand, ready to stand

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 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
