Say Yes
04:25
|
|||
Turned off my TV, threw my paper away
There’s no good news today
Another fire, another flood, another global power play
My blue sky is turning gray
I find myself so weary with no solution near me
The world is crying
Where’s the upside?
It’s in the sweep of a steeple spire
In the breath of a gospel choir
It’s in the miracle of cells dividing
In the way we want to put an end to fighting
It’s in this heart beating in my chest
I just want to say YES, say YES, say YES, say YES
Feels like everyone is running faster
It’s not clear just what we’re after
The sound of fear is drowning out the laughter
Are we the slaves, and money the master?
I find myself so weary with no solution near me
The world is crying
Where’s the upside?
It’s in a morning waiting to be broken
In a kind word waiting to be spoken
In the chance so near you can taste it
It’s in the shimmer of a reachable oasis
It’s in this heart beating in my chest
I just want to say YES, say YES, say YES
Our wounded world can be healed
If we look to where the YES is revealed
It’s in the flight of the flock that’s turning
In desire that keeps on burning
It’s in the running rivers flow
It’s in the bud that breaks through the snow
It’s in this heart beating in our chests
Don’t you want to say YES, say YES, say YES

The Fox
04:00
|
|||
Quiet flow the river and the stream
Slowly go the ripples on the sea
The surface may belie what’s underneath
And hides the murky secrets of the deep
I rode my last excuse into the ground
Despair is close behind, trying to track me down
Stealthy fear could strike without a sound
So I run I run
Like the fox runs from the hound
I could find convenient truths to tell
If I never dipped below the water line
But if I’m bound to drown in the deep dark well
I hope to enter one toe at a time
I rode my last excuse into the ground
Despair is close behind, trying to track me down
Stealthy fear could strike without a sound
So I run I run
Like the fox runs from the hound
I know grief and pain will find me in the end
And claim me like a long lost friend
Me- white knuckles on the bumpy ride
Holding hope for the other side
I rode my last excuse into the ground
Despair is close behind, trying to track me down
Stealthy fear could strike without a sound
So I run I run
Like the fox runs from the hound

If Your Well Has Run Dry
04:07
|
|||
Driving the highway of shadow and doubt
It’s a desperate desolate long stretch of road
And that hole in your pocket let your dreams run out
And left you with nothing to hold
If your well has run dry
If it needs some filling
Know that I am able and willing
When it feels like you have no more tears left to cry
I’ll fill you up if your well has run dry
So many promises, so many lies
So many people but not enough ties
All that they left you was empty and cold
And they left you with no one to hold
If your well has run dry
If it needs some filling
Know that I am able and willing
When it feels like you have no more tears left to cry
I’ll fill you up if your well has run dry
Stay with me. I’ll be your oasis
Till you see that this is where your place is
If your well has run dry
If it needs some filling
Know that I am able and willing
When it feels like you have no more tears left to cry
I’ll fill you up if your well has run dry

Haven
04:08
|
|||
I never see what’s right there before me
I’ve got pictures in my head and a chorus leading me
So my gaze grazed right by that heart upon your sleeve
As I prepared to leave
If you wavered you never let me see
Like you knew a secret door and you held out the key
You blew on the ember and it grew bright
And I finally saw the light
Now we walk together
No more alone
I call you haven
I call you home
I thought I knew what I needed
Oh sweet irony
While I was out there looking
Your sweet love found me
What you gave me is live beyond compare
Solid as bedrock stone and lighter than air
My eyes have been opened, my heart has too
Sharing this life with you
Now we walk together
No more alone
I call you haven
I call you home
Now we walk together
No more alone
I call you haven I call you home [ x3]

Sea Glass
03:25
|
|||
I am broken, I am a shard
Life caught me looking and hit me hard
Tried to pick up the pieces and puzzle them back
But they scattered too wide and too far
Throw me into the sea
Let the turbulent waters tumble me
Wear me down, humble me
Smooth my sharp edges and I’ll be reborn
I’ll be somebody’s treasure after the storm
The further you’re carried the softer you get
So look for me high on the sand
But for now leave me down by the waters edge
I’m close but I’m not done yet
Throw me back to the sea
Let the turbulent waters tumble me
Wear me down, humble me
Smooth my sharp edges and I’ll be reborn
I’ll be somebody’s treasure after the storm
If by chance the tides pass me by
Or bury me deep in the ground
I'll accept my fate, I will wait
and trust that time
Will tell when I’m to be found
Throw me back to the sea
Let the turbulent waters tumble me
Wear me down, humble me
Smooth my sharp edges and I’ll be reborn
I’ll be somebody’s treasure after the storm

Things Change
04:20
|
|||
Things change, things rearrange
Things fall apart
Spun free, just me
Holding my heart
It’s not on my sleeve
It doesn’t know which way to go or what to believe
Fraying at the edges
Bursting at the seams
Alien landscape
Waking from a dream
Excavated amber frozen in time
It took me by surprise
when life passed my heart by
Always so sure, seeing no more
than what’s in front of me
then life turns, and though my heart yearns
the path no longer leads
to the life that I’ve wished for
so now - what do I exist for
Fraying at the edges
Bursting at the seams
Alien landscape
Waking from a dream
Excavated amber frozen in time
It took me by surprise
when life passed my heart by
I guess I took some things for granted
A lesson too late to learn
Some things don’t bloom where they’re planted
And the sun sets while the world turns
Fraying at the edges
Bursting at the seams
Alien landscape
Waking from a dream
Excavated amber frozen in time
It took me by surprise
when life passed my heart by

Sealed Over
03:50
|
|||
I want you to know
as I watch you go
off into the new horizon
Blue skies in your eyes
You don’t have to say
We’re better off this way
Still I feel a seismic rise and fall down deep inside
Where my heart touched your heart
it’s sealed over, it’s sealed over
Where we pulled apart
it’s sealed over, it’s sealed over now
It’s not just the time
When you were mine all mine
It’s the breathless close the most I’ve ever been alive
Where my heart touched your heart
It’s sealed over, it’s sealed over
Where we pulled apart
It’s sealed over, it’s sealed over now
Our hearts still beat the same no matter where you are
Do you still feel the flame behind the scar
Where my heart touched your heart
it’s sealed over, it’s sealed over
Where we pulled apart
it’s sealed over, it’s sealed over now

I Can't Read Your Mind
02:31
|
|||
I told you this time we are gonna do it my way
And if you don’t you’re gonna hit the highway
I don’t know what all this fussing and fighting is about
Because I can’t read your mind and I don’t want to have to
figure it out
First time I met you I thought you were so intriguing
And at first you had me believing
That this was heaven—this was what I’d waited for
But now my eyes are wide open - and they’re looking at the door
You said you’d serve a heap of love hold the drama
But I was starving on what was in the palm of your hand
You said you’d serve a heap of love hold the drama
But I was starving on what was in the palm of your hand
So if you’re certain that we’re not done yet
Hand me the reins and we’ll ride into the sunset
I have had it with fussing and fighting there’s no doubt
Because I can’t read your mind and I don’t want to have to figure it out

What Are We For
03:34
|
|||
What are we for
There must be more than meets the eye
And though I might try
I can’t quite figure it out
If we are stardust
If we are golden
But we’re kept from the garden by holding on
Can we dig as one in this sacred dirt
And cultivate a garden here on earth
How can I be
Something that’s free from mortal ties
While I’m alive my spirit moves in me
If we are stardust
If we are golden
But we’re kept from the garden by holding on
Can we dig as one in this sacred dirt
And cultivate a garden here on earth
I can’t see through the mist of this mystery
Could it be I’m not supposed to know
Just sit back and watch my garden grow?
If we are stardust
If we are golden
But we’re kept from the garden by holding on
Can we dig as one in this sacred dirt
And cultivate a garden here on earth

My Dad grew up in two rooms behind the grocery store
He wanted his kids to have a little more
We learned by his example the lessons he taught
He couldn’t give us everything, but this is what we got
A little bit of shyster
An eye for the absurd
A heart that’s always open and
A love for all the world
As the leaves on my own mighty oak begin to fall
I see the things my father gave me
Weren’t things at all.
There were those cowboy boots I coveted when I was seventeen
He bought me my first outfielders’ glove
The B210 when my first car was smashed to smithereens
Each less an act of commerce than of love
We got
A little bit of shyster
An eye for the absurd
A heart that’s always open and
A love for all the world
As the leaves on my own mighty oak begin to fall
I see the things my father gave me
Weren’t things at all.
I have a thousand punchlines living in my head
He was
A little bit of shyster
Had an eye for the absurd
A heart that’s always open and
A love for all the world
As the leaves on my own mighty oak begin to fall
I see the things my father gave me
Weren’t things at all.

This Boat
03:43
|
|||
This boat is steady
This boat is sure
When you’re ready
Climb aboard
When you’re ready grab an oar
This boat will carry us to the farthest shore
We all know hardship
We all know pain
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
And every rainbow needs the rain
You’re not alone, try again
This boat is steady
This boat is sure
When you’re ready
Climb aboard
When you’re ready grab an oar
This boat will carry us to the farthest shore
Even if you’ve been tempest tossed
Even if you feel that all is lost
You’ve heard the thunder roar
Took a look at heaven’s door
If you’re sinking like a stone
This boat will carry you home
This boat is steady
This boat is sure
When you’re ready
Climb aboard
When you’re ready grab an oar
This boat will carry us to the farthest shore
In this boat there’s nothing we can’t do together
No matter the weather
No matter that the charts aren’t ours
We will navigate by our stars
This boat is steady
This boat is sure
When you’re ready
Climb aboard
When you’re ready grab an oar
This boat will carry us to the farthest shore
