This Life
04:56

Here I stand staring at these hands
What have they done today at the end of this faded day?
My favorite songs inspire me to live
But tomorrow’s hanging over me; it clouds my eyes so I can’t see.
Nearly every day I come to this place.
Many days I wasted away, but tomorrow’s another day.
Chorus
I’m gonna take this day
Do my part and seize the day
I’m gonna open my eyes and realize
I’ve got just this life
As I wake and face the day
If you could hear my thoughts, this is what they’d say
My purpose here has been made clear, but fear often holds to me; clouds my eyes so I can’t see
As I live life and reach for the sky, no longer will I waste it away, because he gave me this brand new day.

Lost and Found
04:43
|
|||
|
I woke up today and felt so ugly
My mistakes were showing through
I lost my way to you
The path is overgrown
No one hears my screams
No one hears my screams for help
No one feels my fear
So I lose myself to find my way
I found my way and lost myself
I found myself now that you’re around
My past you care not
You pick me up and dust me off
Give me rest from life
No matter how far I fall
How far I fall away from you
You promised I would be found
I’m leaving all I know
With these friends

The Unseen
04:53
|
|||
|
I can see a hundred faces
And they’re always looking back at me
I can feel my voice well up inside
I can’t explain, can’t let it die
CHORUS
I believe in the unseen
Believe what my eyes cannot see
When you breathed yourself out of this life
My heart was changed; I’m not the same
But I believe, someday I’ll see you in the sky
And I know you’re waiting there for me

Darkness
04:48
|
|||
|
I close my eyes and see you; you’re in my dreams
Can’t think of how my life was before I was “we”.
I’m forgetting who I was and who I used to be
Those distant thoughts are fading from this memory
What is this darkness? What is this darkness taking me? It’s killing me.
Her dreams are getting grander; they swallow up her heart
She’s losing ground and losing sight of all that she held dear
No one can change her mind from doing what she wants
Nothing here is good enough now so she’s leaving home
What is this darkness? What is this darkness taking her? It’s killing her.
What is this darkness? What is this darkness taking us? It’s killing me.

A mother breaks; she asks God why he chose her only son
A call at night; fateful news shared and she can’t make it right
Funeral’s done; the world moves on never missing a beat
I’m full of doubt. There’s just one question I have on my mind
Chorus
Where is love?
Our broken hearts will never forget all the times we had
Maybe one day you can show us where you found your love
Until then our lives endure knowing you’re a free man
Forevermore this question will be on my mind
There is love….

Can't Look Back
04:59
|
|||
|
I can feel You on my mind
Always with me, watching my back
I can see You in her eyes
Searching, longing
I need Your help to go Your way
My path isn’t always so straight
But they’re always on my mind
Waiting, longing
As I walk away
My heart it breaks; I can’t take much more of this
As I walk away I can’t look back, I can’t look back
I can see their broken hearts
It always haunts me as I go through the day
Please send moving words to say
Mine are clumsy
Though they scream and they may hate me
Still I know that Your love stands
And although I cannot reach them all
I’m still trying

Peace Again
03:50
|
|||
|
You don’t like the choice I’m making
My choices are my own- He gave that right to me
Please don’t question what I’m thinking
Aren’t you the one who told me to make the choice that’s right?
My insides are aching over what I must do
I’m begging for help now with what I must do
I need peace again. I need peace.
My recent findings leave me thinking
That you are not the person I really thought I knew
Why do I feel my ship is sinking?
My thoughts are haunting me at night- indecision weighs me down
This constant drama has me asking
“Is this the way to live? Is it really worth the fight?”
I don’t thinking you’re clearly thinking
Your life is pushing me away – do I stay or say goodbye?

Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk, my friend, with his head in the stars
Sergeant pepper sings, sings his song of freedom
As he plays his song,
I wait for the chance to sing mine
He offers me a way, a way up to the sky
A new song, a new freedom
A free ticket to the Heavens
He offers me his way, his ride up to the sky
And like so many more, his journey has an end
So now it’s my turn to show him part of the sky
And so my guitar sings a song of freedom

Fly Away
03:30
|
|||
|
When it’s dark and I can’t see
When it’s only you and me
You are all I‘ll ever need
Your love takes me to my knees
You take my hand and we fly away
When I’m with you I feel so brave
When I close my eyes to sleep
My love for you it runs so deep
When I feel lost and out of place
I just look up at your face

No Way Out
03:52
|
|||
|
My heart breaks a thousand times and you saw every single tear I cried.
I know this is the life I chose, but there are days like this I come undone.
Hold my head drown out the noise; I can’t escape all this chaos inside.
I’ve screamed my last scream of the day, if I don’t stop soon it will be too late.
There’s no way out
My whole life has been a blur, things used to make sense now I’m not so sure.
Sometimes I wish for younger years, live every moment with such innocence.
In myself I don’t believe, unanswered questions push me to the brink
This never ending search for truth, shoves me to the ground but I won’t give up.

Here It Comes
03:46
|
|||
|
Watch Out here it comes again
You’ve seen it before and you couldn’t beat it
Your restless soul can’t find peace
Fight a battle with yourself, these things you can’t beat
Sleepless nights you lie awake in bed
You can’t stop thinking about those things you said
Watcha gonna do when it all comes down?
Watcha gonna do when no one’s around?
You don’t know who you are and
You don’t know how to find what life’s about
Watch out here they come again
Feelings won’t leave you alone; they’re in your head
Paint your soul to make a brighter you
Taint your soul and hide from the truth
Turn around search for the truth
When you look for it, it will find you

Ready
02:47
|
|||
|
I can’t seem to get it; I always fall on my face
I’m not ready for Love
I still hate my brothers; this life just doesn’t suit me well
I’m not ready for Love
I still run my mouth off, I still push their buttons so
They say I’m not ready for you
You say, “I still love you”, you say, “I’m here always” but they say I’m not ready for you
No matter what they say, no matter what I do you stay here with me
I do what I don’t want, and what I want to do I don’t
You say you’ll always love me, you say you love me still
I’ll never meet their standards, I’ll never be good enough but I’m so ready for Love
Will I ever get it, will I stop falling on my face
‘Cuz I’m so ready for you

Track 39 Me
03:59

It’s really quick that tiny flick of the eyes
between hello and how are you
It’s just a little blink but it seems to think
that I can’t see right through you
What is going on inside your mind?
Where is the mask that you’re hiding behind?
Who is the person that you’re hoping to find?
It’s not all that hard to throw a stick in the yard
and watch the dog run around like a dolt
But I’m not your pet so I’m not going to let you
turn me into some kind of joke
It’s not me, It’s not me, It’s not me, It’s not me
It’s so condescending from beginning to ending
everything you say and you do
So I’ll just keep being me but it’s hard to see
if you’ll keep being you
It’s really quick that tiny flick of the eyes
between hello and how are you
It’s just a little blink but it seems to think
that I can’t see right through you
