Let's Go

You say you want to know what I’m thinking
What I’m holding back and I won’t say
You say you want to keep our ship from sinking
While you’re sending out a tidal wave
So let’s go down to the bottom of it
Let’s go beneath my skin
You say I have a problem with it
‘cause I won’t let you in
I say let’s go
You say you want to know where this is going
Where we’ll end up when the wheel has stopped
I’ve got to say I’ve got no way of knowing
My crystal ball is in the shop
So let’s go down to the bottom of it
Let’s go beneath my skin
You say I have a problem with it
‘cause I won’t let you in
I say let’s go
You won’t like what you’re seeing down here in the tangled dark
Some things are just better left unsaid
But if you insist on pressing down hard on the tender parts
You’re gonna get a bullet blast straight from my head
So let’s go down to the bottom of it
Let’s go beneath my skin
You say I have a problem with it
‘cause I won’t let you in
I say let’s go

Hard To Let Go
03:35
|
|||

It’s hard to let go
I know the future is upon us, and the past has grown old
These grudges and grievances are too heavy a load
So if I want to move forward, I’ve got to let go.
Every morning I wake up to a brand new day
I make a plan to live life in a brand new way
To go with the “yes” and leave the “no” alone
But when I reach out my hand, I find it’s hard to let go
I’ve got to let it go
I know the future is upon us, and the past has grown old
These grudges and grievances are too heavy a load
So if I want to move forward, I’ve got to let go.
So I set my feet down on the rutted road
That I started walking so long ago
I take off the yoke that has me tethered to sorrow
but when I try to lay it down, I find it’s hard to let go
Got to let it go
I know the future is upon us, and the past has grown old
These grudges and grievances are too heavy a load
So if I want to move forward, I’ve got to let go.
I’m going to
Step out of the old ways that bind me
Leave those troubled days behind me
Go somewhere new where my old ghosts can’t find me
But it’s time to let go
I know the future is upon us, and the past has grown old
These grudges and grievances are too heavy a load
So if I want to move forward, I’ve got to let go.

Life Wide Open
03:07
|

|
Time for emotional spring cleaning
Time to give my world new meaning
Throw the windows open wide
Let some clean fresh life inside
I want to live my life wide open
live life unafraid
I want to find the love I’m hoping for
and give my heart away
I think I have navigated
Love’s seas and I think I’ve waited
Long enough to be sure
I’m headed out for more
I want to live my life wide open
live life unafraid
I want to find the love I’m hoping for
and give my heart away
Take my love and watch it grow
It’s yours for the tending
Watch our love cup overflow
Into our happy ending
I want to live my life wide open
live life unafraid
I want to find the love I’m hoping for
and give my heart away

This Time
03:55
|
|||
|
It wasn’t very long ago I had the world laid out before me
Top down, open road; I wondered what life had in store for me
I was young and I was free; I was brimming with possibility
Passing time gave my world a lot more definition
I was full speed forward flag unfurled, till I stopped to figure my position
I thought I knew where I was bound but I ended up in need of being found, so
This time. this time I won’t let it slip on by me.
This time, I’m gonna grab hold
I’m gonna live this song inside me
I’m, this time
Black and white has turned to gray
I’m diving in it
I’ll take my eye off someday and live the next 5 minutes
I’m gonna open up and take it in till I am overflowing
Go somewhere I’ve never been where the ocean breeze is blowing
Feel the sunshine on my face; give myself over to life’s embrace
This time, this time I won’t let it slip on by me.
This time, I’m gonna grab hold
I’m gonna live this song inside me
I’m, this time

Lay Me By Your Fire
03:28
|
|||
|
I was dust and full of doubt
No oasis to dispel my drought
Without a clue what to do
When you appeared right out of the blue
Lay me by your fire
Bathe me in your light
Be my celestial choir
Be my vision in the night
The clouds rolled in
It began to pour
So I’m standing knocking knocking at your door
Let me in ‘cause I can’t swim
Against the tide stirred up by your storm
Lay me by your fire
Bathe me in your light
Be my celestial choir
Be my vision in the night
I must have given up on heaven too soon
‘Cause I found religion when I found you
Lay me by your fire
Bathe me in your light
Be my celestial choir
Be my vision in the night

A Thousand Kisses Shy
03:56
|
|||
|
You’re the light in my eye
My wistful sigh
You’re my starry lullabye
You’re my 100 miles high
I try to be patient but it’s so hard to wait
I fight the feeling that I’m already too late
So let’s not waste anymore time
‘Cause we’re a thousand kisses shy
You’re my face in the crowd
My dreaming out loud
You’re my hope and my doubt
You’re my finally figured it out
I try to be patient but it’s so hard to wait
I fight the feeling that I’m already too late
So let’s not waste anymore time
‘Cause we’re a thousand kisses shy
I made you up but I know you are real
It’s no illusion the way that I feel
We’re as perfect as love can get
Even though we haven’t met -- yet
I try to be patient but it’s so hard to wait
I fight the feeling that I’m already too late
So let’s not waste anymore time
We’re a thousand kisses shy

The Way You Stay
02:35
|

|
I like the way that you stay in my head
A hint of the hope that I’ve found what I’ve wanted
I like the way that you linger
Like sweet honey drops on my fingers
And when I think it’s time for you to want to run away
I like the way you stay
I like the way you stay
I like the spring in your voice when you call
The fall of your footsteps upstairs in the hall
I like the way your heat has melted my doubt
You warm me from the inside out
And when I think it’s time for you to want to run away
I like the way you stay
I like the way you stay
I like the way you pick me up when I fall
But darlin’ most of all
When I think it’s time for you to want to run away
I like the way you stay
I like the way you stay

The Wind of Change
03:07
|
|||
|
Sometimes the wind of change will clatter up above your head as it rattles through the trees, and
Sometimes the wind of change will come upon you unprepared and make you weak in the knees
The wind of change will want to blow to somewhere you don’t know; will you go?
You’ve been here all your life, at least that’s how it seems
No need to look around
Is this your comfort zone or the province of your dreams
Your sacred ground
The wind of change it wants to blow to somewhere you don’t know; will you go?
Is this the right fit, or is this a death grip
To seize on the shifting sands
If I lose my wonder, Will I go under
With just a few grains in my hand?
The wind of change it wants to blow to somewhere I don’t know; here I go.

Turn Around
03:32
|
|||
|
You call me on the telephone
Sometimes I pretend that I’m not home
I don’t know why I do the things I do
It’s true that I like to kiss you
But it’s also fine with me to miss you
I don’t know why I do the things I do
Turn around, go back in a different direction
Find somewhere with a little protection for your heart
You’d better not start something here with me.
I don’t understand what you’re feeling
Or why you find this romance appealing
I don’t know why you do the things you do
Maybe it’s the space and sarcasm
Not every relationship has ‘em
I don’t know why you do the things you do
Turn around, go back in a different direction
Find somewhere with a little protection for your heart
You’d better not start something here with me.
I will pull you in with one hand push you out with the other
When the baggage starts falling down you’ll want to run and take cover
Turn around, go back in a different direction
Find somewhere with a little protection for your heart
You’d better not start something here with me.

If I Could
03:29
|
|||
|
If I could I would trample all the weeds before you
and clear a path for you that’s wide and long
If I could I would bear the load you have to carry
and make your footsteps quick and strong
But this song is all I have
All that I can do
But I would be your light if the world goes dark
Your warmth if the sun should cool
And if your strength and your humor leave you
I would carry you.
If I could I would chase away any dark shadows
and keep you dry in the rain
If I could I would give you all the wisdom you’ll need
but without all the pain
But this song is all I have
All that I can do
I would be your light if the world goes dark
Your warmth if the sun should cool
And if your strength and your humor leave you
I would carry you.
I don’t have a shred of doubt
That you will figure this all out
The seeds you sow will bloom and grow
But just so you know
I would be your light if the world goes dark
Your warmth if the sun should cool
And if your strength and your humor leave you
I would carry you.

Home
03:22
|

This is farmland, this is silo land
This is cherries and strawberries at a roadside stand
And I’m just passing by on the highway
This is hay bale stacks and burlap sacks
This is green and golden fields along the railroad tracks
But these are not my places
These are not my people’s faces
I am breath and I am bone
trying to find a home
That I can carry with me anywhere I go
Not of wood, not of stone,
But where I can go when I am alone
That’s Home
Maybe I won’t have to look that far
Maybe it’s right under the brightest star that
I see shining to guide me to a place inside me
I am two parts sunshine and one part shy
An occasional dark cloud across my clear blue sky
I am looking for a place that geography cannot erase
I am breath and I am bone
trying to find a home
That I can carry with me anywhere I go
Not of wood, not of stone,
where I can go when I am alone
that’s Home.

Let It Shine
04:44
|
|||
|
The puddles are all frozen, gray skies draw near
No one can quite figure out how we lost another year
Decorations dazzle all around the neighborhood
Inviting us to fill our hearts with cheer
Let them shine, like diamonds in the night
Let them fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.
Judah and his brothers were a powerful clan.
They re-sanctified their temple and reclaimed their land
And as a heavenly tribute for their courage and toil
They got eight days of light from one jar of oil
Let it shine, like a diamond in the night
Let it fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.
In deepest darkest winter a child was born
Said to come to save a world that was tattered and torn
The Kings who came to witness, who had travelled so far
Were beckoned by the beacon of a star
Let it shine, like a diamond in the night
Let it fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.
It doesn’t matter who you pray to
Sharing the love is the way to
Let them shine, like diamonds in the night
Let them fill us up with light
So we can shine upon each other like the stars above
With the greatest miracle- love.
