A Girl Grows Up
05:28
|
|||
A blooming flower
Fills the room
Thanks to long shadows
Cast by late afternoon
Rising high like a skyscraper
But easy as a laugh
This girl she grows and grows
Up, up, up
I’ll stretch my hands, let me know if you can come
I’d love to have you dancing close
A blooming flower
Fills the room
Thanks to long shadows
Cast by late afternoon
Rising high like a skyscraper
But easy as a laugh
This girl she grows and grows
Up, up, up
Did you notice how the trees keep time?
Come on let’s not waste it
Stretch, stretch, up! Touch!
A blooming flower
Fills the room
Thanks to long shadows
Cast by late afternoon
Rising high like a skyscraper
But easy as a laugh
This girl she grows and grows
Up, up, up
Oh...

Mustard Seed
03:14
|

The little mustard seed
Can hardly be seen
But when it grows
It’s like a tree
So too your faith
In time will grow
If you sow
Your life in love
The Kingdom of God
Is like the seed
When it grows
It’s like a tree
Birds of the air
Nest in her leaves
The Kingdom of God
Is like the seed
The Kingdom of God
Is like the field
In the Spring
Wheat seeds will fill
At harvest time
The barns will brim
Bundles of wheat
Apart from weeds
Teacher can you tell me,
What does it mean?
You speak in riddles
We don’t perceive
What do you mean,
That I must die
For to gain
Eternal life

If You're Lonely
05:12
|
|||
If you’re lonely, don’t tell me
If you’re lonely, don’t cry to me
For I’ve been lonely too
I’m not going back through that door
Have you ever seen a face of pure joy?
Well, I have
Have you heard a heart sing?
Well, I have—I have.
If I’m crying, don’t mind me
If I’m crying, let me be
For I get lonely too
I’m just passing back through that door
Have you ever been forgiven before you could ask?
Well, I have
Have you ever found the most difficult task is to be loved?
Well, I have
If I’m lonely, don’t cry for me
And if I’m crying, let me be
For I’ve seen glory too
And I don’t mind going through that door
Have you ever seen the sunrise like a holiday?
Did you raise your arms up and offer praise?
When the first light hit your face,
Did your eyes fill with tears from the grace?
Of the miracle of another day
Of the miracle of another day
Of the miracle of another day

Wild Hearts
04:28
|
|||
I was always lost, didn’t want to be found
But you found me, you found me
I was always dreaming, head up in the clouds
You pulled me down, you gave me ground
You gave me ground,
ground, whoa oh
They say wild hearts can’t be broken
Wild hearts can’t be broken
But I’m breaking
I’m going down
How do I know? Can I trust that it’s real?
I feel seen, I feel seen
What is this love like? Where is the proof?
It’s like having the sun
Come and live in your room
They say wild hearts can’t be broken
Wild hearts can’t be broken
But I’m breaking
I’m going down

O Lover!
06:00
|
|||
O Lover! Reveal your face to mine
O Lover! You are a taste of the divine
Lover of mine
O Lover! You are a stranger to me
O Lover! Closer than myself to me
So close to me
It’s hard to see so close to me
Rejoice! The days of shame are over!
So come on, Lover, come on over!
We are the blessed vessels, we are the blessed vessels
We are, we are, we are
O Lover, come on and come a little closer
I want to see you to know you better
Don’t hide your face from me
I want to see you in your
Glory! In your Glory! In your Glory! In your Glory!
Lover, please come over
Lover, come on over
O Lover ! Tell your name to me
O Lover! I long to call it tenderly
I could call you tenderly
Rejoice! The days of shame are over!
So come on, Lover, come on over!
We are the blessed vessels, we are the blessed vessels
We are, we are, we are
In our Glory! In our Glory! In our Glory! In our Glory!
Lover, please come over
Lover, come on over!

Come Out Tonight
04:54
|
|||
No moon tonight
Only stars
I can’t sleep
So I keep writing
That old moon went off and
Ran away again
Left a dark room
Where her light had been
She left me here with a
Heavy heart
Wishing you’d come out and
Sing with me
Come out tonight, won’t you
Come out tonight
Come out tonight and sing with me
Come out tonight, won’t you
Come out tonight
Just for a little bit to sing with me
I slipped out of bed
You never stirred
I can’t sleep
When I feel blue
All the lights of the city
Don’t comfort me
The way I need you to
I know we fought in the kitchen
A few hours ago
But if you could just let it go
To come sing with me
Come out tonight, won’t you
Come out tonight
Come out tonight and sing with me
Come out tonight, won’t you
Come out tonight
Just for a little bit to sing with me
I promise it won’t take long, you’ll go back to sleep
Just for a little bit sing with me
I promise it won’t take long, you’ll go back to sleep
Just for a little bit, just for a little bit
Sing with me
Oh, oh, sing with me!

Pity
03:58
|
|||
He didn’t want my pity
He didn’t need my tears
But I had a sad song
Ringing in my ears
He didn’t want my crying eyes
He didn’t need me to sympathize
He sang the blues to show me how
He learned to fly
I wanted to see a broken life
Instead of a phoenix in the fire
I was looking for my own pain in his eyes
So I missed the phoenix in the fire
So I missed the phoenix in the fire
I had to hide my heart
I had to clear my throat
I had to marvel at the man
fishing in his sinking boat
With his shining face raised to the sky
Thanking God for the good things in his life
Now tell me, who’s the fool
He or I?
To see the ashes or salvation in the fire?
I wanted to see a broken life
Instead of a phoenix in the fire
I was looking for my own pain in his eyes
So I missed the phoenix in the fire
So I missed the phoenix in the fire
He didn’t try to change my mind
Never compared his lot to mine
I could tell he was amused by my surprise
To meet a battered man with joy in his eyes
Now tell me, who’s the fool
He or I?
To see the wreckage or the glory when we die?
I wanted to see a broken life
Instead of a phoenix in the fire
I was looking for my own pain in his eyes
So I missed the phoenix in the fire
So I missed the phoenix in the fire

Will
03:53
|
|||
My Lord told me,
Love even your enemies,
But sometimes my enemy is me
My Lord told me,
Love even your enemies,
But sometimes my enemy is me
Put the cart before the horse
Count your chickens fast
Cause there’s no earthly way
This love will last
But if I will,
And you will,
Then we will
We’ll last!
But if I will,
And you will,
Then we will
We’ll last!
Read some books by Peck and Freud
Read the Bible too
Seems that love’s the only thing
That depends on you
But I’ve got bad habits
I can’t kick
Just when things start heating up
I tend to quit
But if I will,
And you will,
Then we will
We’ll last!
But if I will,
And you will,
Then we will
We’ll last!
But if I will, Put the cart before the horse!
And you will, Count your chickens fast!
Then we will There’s no earthly way
We’ll last! This love will last!
But if I will, I've got bad habits!
And you will, I can’t kick!
Then we will just when things start heating up
We’ll last! I tend to quit!
But if I will,
And you will,
Then we will
We’ll last!

The Red Sun
05:27
|
|||
The train heads North
While the past stays South
The red sun going down beside us
The red sun burning down beside us
It was light when we left
Now here in the dark
We’re making our way
Home
So sleep while you can, Love,
I’ll be the one
To watch how the lands they change
To watch how the lands they change
It’s a soft divide to my tired eyes
Farms, rivers and fields and cable lines
Farms, rivers and fields and cable lines
Tomorrow we’ll wake in a new land
We’ll have to step down from the tracks
But I’ll be alright
Yes, I swear I’ll be fine
Just don’t let go of my hand
In the dark of the train
Or the brightness of day
Please don’t let go of my hand
Please don’t let go of my hand
The train heads North
While the past stays South
The red sun going down beside us
The red sun burning down beside us
We slept to the West
We woke to the East
Watched the herons settle in the stream
I fly like a hawk
Above it all
Watch the towns and the bridges so small
All the towns and the bridges so small
In each of the four directions
I remembered to call out my name
Cause I want my soul
Yes, I need my soul
To follow me here on this train
To find me here on this train
Tomorrow we’ll wake in a new land
We’ll have to step down from the tracks
But I’ll be alright
Yes, I swear I’ll be fine
Just don’t let go of my hand
In the dark of the train
Or the brightness of day
Please don’t let go of my hand
Please don’t let go of my hand
The train heads North
While the past stays South
The red sun going down beside us
The red sun burning down beside us

You are the One; we are the wonderers
You break the dawn; we’ll be the sun catchers
And we’ll wait, we’ll wait
For your Son to rise in us
And we’ll wait, we’ll wait
For your Son to rise in us
You move the night; we’ll be the night watchers
You map the stars; we’ll be the dreamcatchers
And we’ll wait, we’ll wait
For your dream to grow in us
And we’ll wait, we’ll wait
For your dream to grow in us
O Radiant Dawn! O Setting Sun!
Come to us now, Your Kingdom come
O Radiant Dawn! O Setting Sun!
Come to us now, Your Kingdom come
We are pilgrims of the circling hours, Oh, Oh
We are pilgrims of the circling hours, Oh, Oh
O Holy Dawn! O Holy Day! Oh, Oh
O Evening Tide! O Milky Way! Oh, Oh, Oh
You are the All; we sing Alleluia
You are the All; we sing all Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
