The Mountain
02:59
|

As the City Sleeps below tonight
Would you meet me here in the morning light
Say to me in the midst of my fear
Say anything so I'd know that you're near
And higher and higher away we go
'Til the air grows thin and we begin to slow
At the edge of this mountain with the sun in my reach
This wall of doubt is about to be breached
And I'll say what I know
And you'll teach me the rest
And I'll say what I know
And I'll dream of this mountain in the valley of death
I've walked on ice and I've walked on stone
The cold came in through my skin to my bones
But I'll wrestle with you 'til the morning light
Though you've touched my hip I will put up a fight
Time again I've begun to grow
A little more angry and a little more cold
But you've held to this cynic like the spring to the breeze
When the ice melts away I'll be finally free

Racing Horses
05:08
|

We've all had dreams of heaven
When we wake it feels like hell
We're not brave enough to show it
Too cowardly to flinch in the flame
If we could only flaunt our stains
So the only beauty left is love
If we could only show our face
And define our souls from above
I believe the no one is to walk alone
I can see if we look behind we'll turn to stone
We are blind like racing horses
We are blind to his love
And she can see right now
That there is peace for her
She's alive
This unspeakable truth
That unreasonable tear
So she struggles beneath the surface of her skin
Only visible to him
Even when the world is blind
Even when there is no light
Smile into the face of God
Awaken those lost in the dark

'Til We Fall
04:51
|

Several years ago
When I was young, I would know
That in the morning glow
When my cheeks were cold, the air was gold
If I went too far
Across the field and to the sea
Will you meet me there
Though I've caused so much pain
As we grow older
Our hearts get colder
Don't slow me down
And we lose focus
Our eyes grow darker
Until we fall
We fall
In this time of self reflection
The water is calm, there is now wind
But beneath the mirror lake
Your crying eyes across from mine

Take Over My Poor Heart
04:18
|

Take over my poor heart
Make it rich with love
Save it from the dark
let it rise above me
If I say let me go, call my bluff
Even if I lay all my cards down in a royal flush
I've figured it out one day
You knew my hand
You read me like a map
Writing in the sand
When you came into my life, I pushed you out
And when we struggled in the dark, you changed my heart
And though my heart is in a mess
I find there is love
there is love
There is love

Oh My God
03:48
|

I didn't mind you sitting right beside me
You didn't mind my hand
And I said “Oh my God!” I don't understand her
Cause she didn't seem to care
It was raining outside but the storm was deep inside me
Greater than the ocean's tide
No one else could see our hands beneath the sheets
But We couldn't seem to hide
And I said “Oh my God!”
Where are you taking me?
Oh my Lord
Her love is like the sea
It's coming over me
The first time you met my father and my mother
I asked your hand be given me
My father said, “accidents could happen”
Accidents like you apparently
A few weeks later the first of January
We took to the skies that day
And I forgot to get down on my knees but
I said yes anyway

Bury Me
03:36
|
|||
Oh my friends, what have we sacrificed
Have we pinned our lives against a dying tree
Can you feel though you cannot see
Will you recognize the man who set you free
Bury me in a place far away from home
Where no one knows my name or where I've been
Oh my love, how could we separate
You've taken all the heat and I've replaced them with these lights
So I called out of the silent cold
And you replied with the flame
That I could never hold
Oh my mind begins to wander
Straying out from the shadows
I pray my heart will follow soon
See I've seen your face through the looking glass
You beckon me to enter fast
Welcome to a brave new world
And I'll send you regards from the other side

I am Lost
03:44
|
|||
I've traded the stars for street lights and cars
And though this roads familiar
I don't know where we are
These maps and signs they lead me back to you
My pride has led me a hundred miles
In the wrong direction
Is it too late to turn around
Am I far too gone to recognize
Where I am without you
I am lost, Oh I am lost
Now I've seen the light
but it's blinded me oh no
I saw you in the garden where innocents was lost
I saw you in our battles
Trading your life for the cost
And still the world thinks your wasting time
The only place where I could see myself grow
Is the place the world forbids
The place that I don't know
All I know is that I have lost my way
I'll stay awake for awhile
I'll stay awake for now

There's a common need that we all share
Like bread and wine and love and air
It may be free but it's a price that we can't pay
Here's a question never asked
Are you more than your painted past
You may be free but you're behind your phantom bars
Hold your gaze a little longer
Hold your gaze a little higher
The sun with all its promises
Will keep its word for but an hour
And when it sleeps, silent demons come
For the sun is merely smoke and shadows
When seen beside the greater light
A light that always rises but never sets
He'll strip us of our stars that turn our eyes away

Light
06:06
|

Child
Go ahead and breathe
Go ahead and feel the leaves
beneath your naked feet
Love
Open up your eyes
Not only to see the light
But to share it with the dark
Drink
Drink to the life
that's tied us to the groom who's called us
To be His chosen bride
Sing
Though there isn't a song
that captures the breadth of His love
the weight of His despair
If we have
Been through the waters
There should be Light
Where there are
shadows in our lives
There should be Light
We
have fallen in the dark
we're painted to be painters too
children of the light
believe
Though there's cause to doubt
That everything will be beautiful
In His patient time
