anchored

i'm anchored in you, you're anchored in me
none can move and none is free
my words breathe life into your soul

inspect my life, inspect my mind
call my name, but don't you cry
i hope you find your way back home

i've searched the world to find your face
but all my work is not in vain
and you don't know me anymore...

holding truth, holding time
keeping changes, breathing life
you are mine to mold, my own

comfort those who softly cry
raising the dead and bringing new life
i hope you find your way back home

i've searched the world to find your face
but all my work is not in vain
you are mine forevermore

days go by

hold my hand we got a long way to go
but don’t look back, it gets scary i know
who you are and who you want to be,
it is not you, it doesn’t come from me

days go by. time rolls on
and i don’t know where my life is headed now

so i’ll go where you want me to
simplicity in everything you say and do
in your eyes i can see the skies are blue
so i will go where you want me to

time be on my side
carry me through this night i know
we search for our courage
but you’re the one who gives strength for the fight
 

delusional

the world is turning. i'm spinning again
no recollection, no fault or a friend
and it all seems so crazy,
but it never seems to end at all

turn by the side, i'm turned by the wind
kingdoms rise and then they descend
and we all stare so blind
and wait for the new to begin

was it all in your head, was it all just a lie,
did they tell you the truth
as you told them goodbye
and you wait for the answers
but they won't show their face tonight

embrace

could i be more incomplete
or suffer damage without your presence
falling from heaven above,
it should have killed you
but i don’t fear you
now stumbling on, despite these wounds
there is a war on, we are all soldiers

now with new hope, eyes fixed on you
we'll conquer masses. we'll take the chances
not for a cause, only for you
well keep your rhythm, hold to your truth
and we will embrace your death

time is all we have to lose
but time is valued, and time is ageless
the more we search, the less we find
further from answers, we all are blind
we only know that we're alive
because we're dying, we're slowly dying

and though we all hope for more
no one earns it, no one deserves it
but hope is in our blood

 

eve

night falls, tears like rain,
and i wonder which way will you go.
sometimes i look in your eyes
and i see you stand against the world.
the power of a beautiful girl.

she was on the breaking edge. full of doubt and fear
until they told her of a love that never dies.
she said, "how can that be, eventually
they're going to hurt me, cut me down to size”
my child open your eyes.

they’ll never love you the way that i do,
they’ll never understand these reasons in my head,
but hold on to me and i will guide you through the rain
you’ll find mercy from the pain.

she gave all the reasons she turned away
and if i could hold her in my arms again.
she was so alive and so confused
and you never turned to me
and i wonder where can she be

flicker

celebrate my life,
light the candle that turns into ashes
and everything seems right,
funny how time flies when it passing
 
you know everything before it even happens
 
you know me you find me,
when I’m changing my life rearranging
you know me I’m broken,
you put me together before I have spoken
 
we will flicker and fade,
into the dust we will turn back around again
everything seems to change,
funny how you always seem to stay the same
 
it's not hard to find you
open your eyes
lift up your voice
here is your god
to carry you away
he’s always been there

good

time goes by so fast
our lives will never last
but through it all i know
you are good

with all that you possess
your love will never rest
and i will always say
you are good

you are good, i know

i-40

far off in the distance see the visions of a life to come
while i'm still here i will sing of the lovely one
"comfort, comfort," a gentle voice has said
"comfort, comfort your sins have all been paid."
straighten the road through the mountains from the lord's home
straighten the road through the deserts so the lord will come

yeah i know the day will come
yeah i know he will come

there isn’t enough fuel in all of lebanon
to burn something great
and no matter how long we labor
our sins will still be red
where is the zeal you used to have for life all gone
don’t you know he’s promised to give you the wings of the dawn
 

jeremiah's burden

my son listen to the words of my heart
my son listen to the words of my mouth
i want for you to know love
and i want for you to know peace
and i want for you to know me
like i know you...

did you feel the thunder in my voice
when you looked into the sky above
and did you run away that day...
did you feel the thorny crown
did you feel the blood flow down
did you run away that day...
or did you stay

who will be my voice...
who will be my hands...

the pearl

i'm picking up seashells on the beach
the one i want is out of reach
i look inside and see no reflection
i throw it back into the sea

see i don't have the same intentions
of those before me in the past
see i've been going in a different direction
and the tide is changing fast

so hold on to me cause i'm dying in this world
i'm in the ocean and i'm looking...
searching...
hoping...
for the pearl

and i know it seems so complicated
when you're safe and warm on the inside
but i need you out here
i'm standing outside and i'm waiting

so little girl did you really think i'd leave you
out in the deep here for so long
i know you're in those troubled water...
so i'm here to keep you strong

so hold on to me cause i died for this world

time (rain)

forgot my place again
forgot myself and i don’t know where
forgot you were precious to me
forgot you were pestilence and grace

you seem so far away
you seem so far but your touch is warm
you seem to mute my senses
and my life's slowly growing cold

called by name and called to life can it be so simple
misinformed and missed my time, life is slowly growing cold

i scattered you to bring you here, can it be so simple
i can be your only cure if you would only search for more

 

whom have i

whom have i but you
though the mountains fall,
they fall into the sea
whom have i but you
though the rivers run dry
i will raise my song to you

if i were to leave, where would i go
if i were to walk away, you would quickly pursue

mountains bow to honor you
majesty fills your eyes
you move quickly through the deserts
and you call forth the tides
you're gone in a moment and i see
you’ve called me from the darkness of the valley
