Sometimes Cry
don't delay for
a minute
cause if you do
i'll know you're too far into it
i mean the world
around us
the world around
to keep your head
above water
to be humble amidst
tears and laughter
sometimes we need
to hide
sometimes cry
run away
far away
to Yahweh
He's my hideaway
star-studded-super-step
yeah, you've turned
around again
well i can feel
it inside
in His side
and i'll tell you
what He sees
but first i must
fall down on my own knees
let me hold your
hand
holding our hands
i need to lower
my head
i don't know if
i can
i've been so lost
i don't know if
i can
i really have to
fall
i don't know if
i can
i'll say it again
i don't know if
i can
and now we're losing
time
no, we can't say
we never got a sign
the love is all
around us
and it surrounds
us.
Bartholomew Higgins
if you want to see
what i am saying
focus then, on our
decision
blindness, greed,
and empty feelings
they're all ours
and where are we now
if you wanna see
just listen
to the light i can
see glistening
again and again
to war for our freedom
i haven't got my
peace of mind
i tell you this
and you tell me
to come inside it's
warm and nice
Cannon-Fire Orange
sailing away
towards uncertainties
uncertain seas
change today
traveled to that
land
took it all second
hand
i fought for cover
then i ran, ran,
ran
found a love colored
me whole
no more cannon-fire
orange,
cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange
does a flower grow
in the winter snow
or go away
never again to show
can it be found
below the frail
ground
when we look away
is it around
for now i see what
needs to be
no more cannon-fire
orange,
cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange
i'm counting the
days
to discover the
ways
how the fire turns
cold
like i've been told
the flame burns
the tree
i don't know what
to be
'someone' holding
the match
'someone' is me
so i cannot stand
without the help
of His hand
no more cannon-fire
orange,
cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange
Never Said
in the summer's
chill
we say the winter
kills
but we don't know
ourselves
well enough to know
if this is true
ask a question here
and get an answer
there
well it can take
us years to
get to the One that
sees us thru
you never said which
things were real
i don't always know
what's real to me
Someone right here
said that He is gonna stay
you never said which
things were real
i don't always know
what's real to me
Someone right here
said He's willing to explain
take a moment now
to step out
think what everything
is about
turn again to face
the proud
they're saying now
that they don't know
where to put our
hands
who to tell us when
and should we can
but we will lose
our heads
from watching our
confusion grow
does the headache
know
do our faces show
that all we think
we need
is just the things
we want
sometimes i feel
so gone
and my ways are
often wrong
we've just got to
realize
there's Someone
more in this song
This Theatre
this theatre
is so run down
the grabbing hands
oh the people of
this town
my costume is on
and the scenery
shines
they all wait for
me
to say my lines
countless in numbers
are the laughter
and tears
the emotions so
differ of he who hears
i laugh in fear
as i cross the stage
my whole life's
been used
just to reach this
age
and now i'm stepping
in
to begin again
and i start to cry
will this ever end
i dance and i dance
and i sing and i
sing
i hope my conscience
won't let me
keep this masquerade
going
i finish my part
and the lights go
down
and once again
i'm just a clown
Puddleglum
and then the rain
falls down
into welcome hands
on my lips
and in the distance
i see clearer skies
oh, and i wonder
do they come for me
majestic kingdom
fall on me
lie me down and
make me see
right above me the
eye of the storm
my one and only
my only love
but a single drop
changes it all around
oh, and i feel so
insecure
and soon there shines
a light behind the clouds
and i reach and
i pray
that someday we'll
all find
the light that we've
been looking for
A Snowfallen Desert
you
in this world
are so strong
little girl
look beyond
the dimming lights
keep this song
and know it's right
crash down
in this town
deadness rings knows
the frown
second nature, second
thoughts
hold the key with
love that's not
so you shiver
and it's cold
like the world
as you were told
and you love
and you hear
but do you listen
is He near
there are reasons
there are signs
no need to read
between the lines
fill the heavens
with your tears
and your cries oh
yes He's near
where are you going
tell me what do
you find
well i can tell
you
it's just a waste
of time
and if you don't
mind,
and if it's all
the same to you my friend
i won't play this
game
still you run
It's Simple To
Me
well everything's
so crazy in our heads
and sometimes i
wonder if i should be dead
but i know that
you know that we know why we live
and that is to be
in all that He's said
the world is gray
here and gone today
the Son is here
He'll never go away
can we ever try,
and do we know
that the things
we want are beginning to show
we are all rich
people now
but the eye of the
needle is the way to go
well i could talk
forever cause it's simple to me
and very often the
things we know we can't even see
we hardly open up
our eyes
and He's dazzled
me with all that i can be
Peapod
i've been standing
here so long
i don't know where
i've been
and i've been looking
around so long
i don't know what
i've seen
can i chase away
the blues
and will i understand
this
been here, there,
everywhere
can i get back to
His side?
it's alright
i've been turning
around so long
i don't know which
way is right
we've been tripping
around so wrong
i know we've lost
our sight
can He chase away
the blues
and will we understand
that
we've been here,
there, everywhere
got to get back
to His side
To Be Awake
well i'm a happy
man
so will i ever speak
my mind
but i know that
we
just haven't got
the time
to be awake
to be ashamed
will you?
this world wants
to drown me with
the things it's
thinking of
so now i don't want
to see or breathe
in this place that
cannot love
i would rather lose
my life
than to ever, ever
lose my mind
but in this world,
in this land
it's our thoughts
that we cannot find
so you see me run
away
and you wonder why
i am scared
well, i just can't
help but think about
the things of which
we're not aware |
