Stand Up Tall
03:45

Spent so many nights
Looking out the Window
Afraid to go outside
Past your Doorstep
Time to Dip your Feet
In the Water
Sea won't get more Calm
Darling Enter
I think you will be just fine
Though, The world it may take you
Everything good is waiting there
Though, the world will try to break you
You were raised to Stand Up Tall
One step at a time
You can make it
Wind it combs your hair
Spirit guides you
It's a rocky road
Bound to Stumble
Trust and find your way
Spirit guides you
I think you will be just fine
Though, The world it may take you
Everything good is waiting there
Though, the world will try to break you
You were raised to Stand Up Tall
Stand up Tall

Summer's Breeze
02:13

Like a summer's breeze
You warm me
Everything I need
You hold me
When it's dark outside and I've nowhere to go
The world crushes me and you keep bringing me back
Ain't no words can express what I feel
Just I love you and I hope that you know
Water in my cup
you fill me
Breath that fills my lungs
you move me
Like a summer's breeze
You warm me
Everything I need
You hold me
When it's dark outside and I've nowhere to go
The world crushes me and you keep bringing me back
Ain't no words can express what I feel
Just I love you and I hope that you know

Bills to Pay
03:01

If it wasn't worth a tear
I wouldn't have tried
If it wasn't worth a tear
I wouldn't have cried
And yet you say to me I've got a little too much irresponsibility
Yes you say to me it's just a little too much uncontrollability
We can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay
Every day is just the same working my hands feeling the pain,
I'm just praying for a break
Got to be more than nine to five with some distraction while I wait when to we get to leave this place
We can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay
Kept myself held down so long I lost the key
Say who stops you from your dreams I know that it's just me
I can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay
I can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay

Those Eyes
03:06
|
|||
|
Your face it keeps on changing for me
Though I know those eyes are still the same one
I've seen them far too many times
The ocean shines behind them like before
The stars have all conspired to enact this dance where you and I will lose
And find each other, were the ones that play the game, and make the rules
I know them, I know them far too well
I know them, I know them far too well
A smile comes upon me when despite it all
You've slipped away
Hidden from sight I seek you
In darkest night in brightest day
Losing hope I rest my weary body
At the water's edge
Open my eyes and see you there beside me
Once again
I know them, I know them far too well
I know them, I know them far too well

Remember as a young boy
He'd work all night and keep us whole
She always came home and kissed me good night
Home was safe and sound, tomorrow was for another day
Rush to grow up and get out
Wouldn't call Mama worry the hours away
Hopped on that flight see a tear down Papa's face
Home was safe and sound, tomorrow was for another day
Look at my girl ain't a baby no more
Sing her to sleep and tuck in at night
Yes I'll play the keys until you are in your dreams
I said home was safe and sound, tomorrow was for another day

We miss you we miss you we'll see you again
Till then this song will have to do
I remember as a boy
I'd look into your eyes
I'd wait just to hear you sing
Songs of the gospel
Of love without end
Peace and a brotherhood of man
Never did I see you without a smile on your face
You'd lift us all heavenbound
We miss you we miss you we'll see you again
Till then this song will have to do

Tending a Garden

Tending a garden
Three thousand miles wide
Flowers that blossom
In my minds eye
I can still see you
No matter how far
Grow this together wherever you are
You are there when I lay my head to sleep
In my dreams these miles don't mean a thing
I'll meet you there
We've got all night
To share
Seeds that you planted
Are growing in me
Figs that you savor
Sweet as can be
Tending a Garden
Three thousand miles wide
Vines all around us
We'll make some good wine
You are there when I lay my head to sleep
In my dreams these miles don't mean a thing
I'll meet you there
We've got all night
To share

You are Born Again
Greetings you are anew
Spring is here again
Life it is renewed
First steps today
The words you say are true
Stumble though you may
Sincere is how you move
You are Born Again
Dawning of the day
Sunrise brings light for all
Waking of the world
A place is saved for you
We've been waiting here
And now we are complete
So much to explore
How much can fresh eyes see
We are born again

Ode to Papa
03:47
|

|
No one was stronger than him
Nobody braver than he
My old man
Running through the mountains and streams
Swimming in the cold ocean tide
All my life
I was hurting I knew who to call
Care for me after the fall
My old man
He was a young man like me yesterday
I hope I'll be just like him today
He was a young man like me yesterday
I pray I'll be just like him today
Wanted to be just like him
Meals were filled with his love
My Whole life
Working those twelve hour shifts
but never missed one of my games
My old man
Wasn't easy to start all anew
Had nothing made this house a home
My whole life
He was a young man like me yesterday
I hope I'll be just like him today
He was a young man like me yesterday
I pray I'll be just like him today

So Much Love
03:10
|
|||
|
Spent so much time
Trying to be good enough
Most of my life
Guilt it followed me
Want to be free
Of this Suffering
Resisting fear of what…
I don't know
Will I ever be the man that my father was
God's oh so far
And I'm here below
My demons and my doubts
Always waiting here
I take them all in
They're all the same
Look in your eyes
Forget myself
So much Love
So much
I don't remember Hate
So much Love

Falling Together
03:42
|
|||
|
I am a river flowing through time as it flows through me
Once long ago
all I could do was rush ahead
tomorrow I'll try to
STOP
see where I am where am I heading towards
Some years from now will my gaze be fixed behind me
Understand it or not
we are all of us falling together
As it all passess you are the water and you are the shore
Witness with wonder the ways that you hide from yourself
Where do we
STOP
if you are everything
And I am you
Look to my end all I could see was a new dawning
Understand it or not
we are all of us falling together

For the Ocean
04:01
|
|||
|
When I was a young man
Had nothing but my will
Remember empty pockets and sleeping on the sand
It was for the Ocean
That I woke Up
And the thrill that I had planned
Barefoot and burnt with the sun at my back
Everything was right nothing to understand
Under the moon sang my prayers and my pleas
Better than gold the horizon and me
Better than gold the horizon and me
Rain though it falls and storm it may rage
Strength I have earned Sacrifices made
Under the moon sang my prayers and my pleas
Better than gold the horizon and me
