Our Love 04:14
I feel like a star I feel like a dove I feel like the sun When I’m with him He is like a song He is like a book He is like the world I think this is love Love comes in many shapes I know Some love stays and some love goes I’ve seen love age before it’s old Our love is the kind that grows and grows I was like a match I was like a seed I was like the dusk Before he loved me Love comes in many shapes I know Some love stays and some love goes I’ve seen love age before it’s old Our love is the kind that grows and grows and grows On and on and on from now I’ll give my love as I know how On and on and on from now I’ll be your love, you’ll be my all Love comes in many shapes I know Some love stays and some love goes I’ve seen love age before it’s old Our love is the kind that grows and grows and grows

Let Me Try 03:07
I had a dream That you were lost at sea Then it came to me I want to be your sail in that breeze There’s a lot that I’m not I can be all you’ll want If you let me try Let me try Clear as the blue Of the sea that held you You belong with me I want to be your raft on that sea There’s a lot that I’m not I can be all you’ll want If you let me try Let me try The waves keep pushing you away These dreams keep coming every day I need you more with every wave There’s a lot that I’m not I can be all you’ll want If you let me try Let me try

Don’t feel sorry for me I’ve got more than I need Calm down, just calm down If you mean what you say Then a storm is on its way Hold on, just hold on Ocean swells From the center of the earth I felt Every stone and every storm that brews It drags me right back to you If you take all that’s left All you’ll leave is a mess Take it go on and take it Or you could just be a man Or you could just be a man Or you could just be a man Ocean swells From the center of the earth I felt Every stone and every storm that brews It drags me right back to you You took my hand Said you’d lead me to dry land But you don’t know You don’t know the way

Wind 04:12
I haven’t said a word for a year I closed my eyes and shut my mouth. I tried not to hear What was coming What was coming Sometimes I wish that I were the wind instead of the tree I would float about the earth and the sea Sometimes it seems I’m so rooted and rotten and barren of leaves I’ll quiver at the touch of a slight breeze I haven’t left my home for a year I locked my door and sat right down. I tried not to fear What was creeping What was creeping Sometimes I wish that I were the wind instead of the tree I would float about the earth and the sea Sometimes it seems I’m so rooted and rotten and barren of leaves I’ll quiver at the touch of a slight breeze I’ve been waiting for the clouds to part I’ve been waiting for this broken heart to mend I’ve been waiting for an apology I’ve been waiting for this great symphony to end Sometimes I wish that I were the wind instead of the tree I would float about the earth and the sea Sometimes it seems I’m so rooted and rotten and barren of leaves I’ll quiver at the touch of a slight breeze

Graceful 04:47
I cannot carry this load I cannot do this on my own All the time For my size I think I’m pretty strong But it’s my heart that soldiers my mind on All the time When I die, I hope it’s graceful In the night like my mothers mother went Allelujah, allelujah, allelujah I don’t know where to find it in my heart Forgiveness is difficult in short All the time When I die, I hope it’s graceful In the night like my mothers mother went Allelujah, allelujah, allelujah Come with me that night while I’m leaving And I will stay with you Hold me in that night while I’m moving And I will follow you I will not hold anger in my life Because if I do, I’ll bury myself alive All the time

Truth 03:28
Truth broke in, in the night He stole my watch, my drapes and my knife Now I wake unarmed in broad daylight Truth is quiet, constant and keen He could be in a room and remain unseen to the Hopeful eye, he looks a lot like a lie Truth cannot leave after truth has appeared He’ll live by your side and he’ll stay through the years One question remains everyday that I live Is it better or worse to know truth for what he is, for what he is? Truth doesn’t mean to take what’s yours He’s really quite honest and he often abhors all the untruths told to hold him behind closed doors Truth cannot leave after truth has appeared He’ll live by your side and he’ll stay through the years One question remains everyday that I live Is it better or worse to know truth for what it is, for what it is? Truth broke in, in the night

I am the fire, self-combustion from my soul I am the fuel, concrete walls confine, control But I'll grow until I burn a hole Hey, hey, I’m gonna get out Hey, hey, I’m gonna win Hey, hey, I’m gonna burn it down like I’ve never seen I am the coal, broke, lit and moving me I am the torch that’s bringing light to all I’ve been But I’ll grow until I make a hole Hey, hey, I’m gonna get out Hey, hey, I’m gonna win Hey, hey, I’m gonna burn it down like I’ve never seen I can see a light coming through the ceiling I can see a star swinging in the sky I can see a crack and so I get that feeling That I could be the sun brighter than the star Hey, hey, I’m gonna get out Hey, hey, I’m gonna win Hey, hey, I’m gonna burn it down like I’ve never seen

Beautiful 04:39
Broken down with the lies A broken heart that hopes to die Time cannot heal this wound My God can, just make some room River wide, deep and true Take this pain and wash renew Hold this heart and make it whole My God can make this beautiful Let it go Let it go Let it go My God can make this beautiful Feel the wind and feel the warmth Let it hold you in the dark You cannot find your peace My God can, just take, release Let it go Let it go Let it go My God can make this beautiful Time is now to let it go Time is now to let it go Time is now to let it go Let it go let it go
9.
Rebuild 04:33
Take away the shelter that I work hard to mind Take away the lessons that I’ve learned over time Rebuild it all again Replant my hope and then Reap all the flowers I can I will rebuild Take away the corners where I store my dreams Take away the structure to bring me to my knees Take away my pride, take away my family Take away my peace like Job I shall believe Rebuild it all again Replant my hope and then Reap all the flowers I can I will rebuild I will sing such songs that bring me New beginnings and all the while I’ll Shed my skin to find beneath two Brilliant wings Rebuild it all again Replant my hope and then Reap all the flowers I can I will rebuild
10.
I’m at a loss for words When I hear you say That it’s not your fault That you’re not to blame My love runs deep as love should do But you’ve let me down without meaning to I’m at a loss for words I sing a silent song When there’s nothing left When everything feels wrong My love runs deep as love should do But you’ve let me down without meaning to I’m at a loss for words When you won’t own up Watch it all break down Then watch it all erupt My love runs deep as love should do But you’ve let me down without meaning to Then I let you down without meaning to
