There's a light at the end of this tunnel
It could be headlights or sunshine
We're heading straight towards a collision
There's no turning back to the dark
No turning from the light

Both Feet Off the Ground
03:50
|
|||
Verse1
To anywhere she will follow you
But not to the deepest corners of her heart
I will never know
If she fell or if she always had both feet
Planted on the ground
Verse2
Well I’ve never claimed to have the answers
But I know deep in my soul this to be true
I’ll never be able
To show the logic or the beauty to be found
Far above the ground
Chorus
Have you seen it all
Are these wonders getting old
Is your life meant for more
Will you live before you’re cold
You may never know it all
Or see what lies beyond the wall
But you will find your soul alive
With both feet off the ground
Verse3
Are there voices that you’ve ignored
Much to the perils and the pitfalls you’ve yet seen
I can never tell
If you’ve ever felt the wonder of the love
That found you on the ground
Bridge
Will you ever realize that the nature of
faith is that you
See only one step ahead of you

Lose this War
04:35
|
|||
Verse1:
I have gone
I have gone too far again
By my words
And the things I left unsaid
I have sailed into the storm
Fought the wind til’ my sails were torn
But for one more time
I will turn this ship to shore
Chorus:
Oo— oh
I will not be moved
Oo— oh
Til’ the break of day
And for one more time
You will lose this war for me
Verse2:
I have gained
A false impression of my worth
But on the way
I discovered unfailing love
Though I fail to understand
All the melodies of your plan
For one more time
Will you sing that song for me
You’ll lose this war
Oo — oh
And I’ll lose myself
And for one more time
You will lose this war for me

Room to Grow
03:16
|
|||
Verse1:
Have you been walking
Barefoot and broken
Have you been living a nightmare but never waking
I know it’s hard to believe
Amidst all the noise that deceive
That your life is a life worthy of love
Verse2:
Have you been told
You’re meant to be sold
That there is no value in you
So wait in the cold
Maybe this world is a place
Where no one remembers your face
But your home is a home far from here
Chorus:
Oh Child of God
Like a tree by the stream
Whose roots reach far below
Your spirit’s anchored in a hope
And it gives you room to grow
Verse3:
The water is sweet
In the well that is deep
This spring that has welled up inside is for
you to keep
Don’t you let it get dry
Don’t be afraid when you cry
There is life where streams overflow
Bridge:
O-o-o
There is love set apart for you
O-o-o
There is hope set deep in truth
Maybe you’re lost in the wind
Maybe you try but it doesn’t get better
O-o-o
There is beauty because of you
O-o-o
So look to the sun cause there’s room to grow
O-o-o
So look to the sun cause there’s room to grow

From the Dark
04:05
|
|||
Verse1:
How many times have I lost
My cards in this game I’m living
How many times have I tried it on my own
Only to find that I needed You all along
Only to find that I needed You all along
Verse2:
How many days have I spent
Wishing I were made stronger
How many weeks have I wasted on myself
Only to find you were strong in me all along
Only to find you were strong in me all along
Chorus:
So I’m letting go of the things that hinder
All the baggage that weigh down my heart
Don’t you let these failures define you
You’re a child of light from the dark
Verse3:
How many seasons have I lost control
And time and again you guide me home
How many reasons will I give on the issue
Only to find that You’ve heard it all before
Only to find that You’ve heard it all before
Bridge:
So maybe then I could be free
Maybe everything could be beautiful
If I could only focus on
The things that matter to you
Things that matter to you
Are things that matter to me

Come to the River
03:47
|
|||
Verse1:
Our eyes are dark
We’ve lost our sense of wonder
Maybe if we turned off these lights
We’d see the stars again
Verse2:
We’d drive for miles
To get away from this noise
But we’ll never be free from these voices in our heads
Chorus1:
You said meet Me by the shore
Don’t look at your neighbor beside you
It’s you and I alone
This story is your own
Leave your world beneath the waves as you
rise above the surface
Verse3:
Our souls are trapped
Inside a mess of skin and bones
The only way to freedom is death to ourselves
Verse4:
So take a breath
And take a walk to the river
Put both feet in the water and be swept away
Chorus2:
I don’t know
If I will end up on dry ground again
I don’t know
And I don’t mind if I’ll never be the same again
If I’ll never be the same again
Bridge:
Come to the river, Come to the river
Come to the river, Come to the river
Come to the river, Come to the river

The Alchemist
04:54
|
|||
Verse1:
So many times I’ve been afraid
Of falling over the edge
I guess I know
But in my head and not in my heart
That I’ve always been falling
Verse2:
But don’t give me wings I don’t have it in me to fly
Just give me my measure of patience
To wait for you
To lift my soul from this tired shell
And join You in the sky
Chorus1:
Like a dream with the terror of a nightmare
I give up control
My pride and self-reliance will burn from my bones
All that’s left all that stays in this life will turn to gold
I give up all this lead in my heart
To the Alchemist of my soul
Verse3:
So You come like a roaring lion
You’re all I fear and all I love
Tear away
All the dead skin that clings to my back
Though I bleed and though I burn
Chorus2:
In the shallow of these nail pierced hands I’m justified
In Your arms like a raging furnace I’m purified
Though I bleed, though I burn, though I cry out
Don’t you let me go
Though this heart in my chest has turned to stone
You won’t let me go cold
So please take all this weight in my heart
For Your hands to hold
|

Verse1:
Don’t look any further than me
‘Cause I’m afraid of what you might find
Come with your eyes tightly shut
Oh God I hope this surprise is gonna be good
Verse2:
Leave your restlessness behind
Believe it or not this is our great adventure
Don’t you fret about the past
Or all who’ve tried and failed before
Chorus:
Oh maybe I won’t find a place
That we could call home
That we could call our own
No matter where we lay our heads
You are my refuge and you’re my escape
Verse3:
Walk this lonely road with me
Don’t stop ‘cause there’s no place I’d rather be
Towns and cities come and go
Oh Lord I know this life is gonna be good
Bridge:
I don’t know where the wind will take us
Our sails are tangled our kite string broken
I don’t see a new beginning
Just the curtains falling and the spotlight fading Yea
Outro:
Don’t look any further than me
Well I’m not afraid of what I might find

Run into the Dark
05:59
|
|||
Verse1:
If you should feel
That darkness is your friend
Only because you’ve never seen the light
And if you should steal
Quietly away
And chose to keep your scars out of sight
Verse2:
When evil men
Demons in the night
Come to you with sweet and heartless words
Rest assured
We are on the march into the dark
Chorus:
Don’t feel alone
God longs to be with you
Sing to the night
For the love that finds you where you are
Verse3:
If tears should find
Their way out of your skin
Through anywhere else but your eyes
If teeth should grind
Against the carnal pain
Shame that haunts you through the night
Verse4:
If you should kill
Your spirit day by day
Letting your dreams and visions bleed you dry
But stand assured
That we are on the run into the dark
Bridge:
Take the step towards the child who’s living through perpetual hell
Take the stand against the profane of women chained to beds of pain
Take a leap of faith into the hearts of dreamers cut in two
Take away our apathy and push our pride into the sea
Outro:
And run into the dark
Run into the dark
Into the dark(x4)
