It's a better place
Standing high upon this mountain I've seen your face Full of the light that holiest height can show Blessed hand is why you you've given But you've been given all you'll ever need To know Chourus: So walk down this mountain With your heart held high Follow in the footsteps of your maker With this love that's gone before you And these people at your side If you offer up your broken cup You will taste the meaning of this life Hey hey Well it's a common ground And I see you're all still standing But just look around and you'll find The very face of God He's walking down into the distance He's walking down to where the masses are Chourus This life We're standing in a place of peace And this is how the world should be How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with your heart held high) How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with you heart held high) How the world should be (Walk down this mountain with your heart held high) How the world should be Chourus -music fades- Hey hey |

I'm walking in an open field looking for some space to fill
I believe there's something left to hold So even when the sun goes down and there's no one around I'm standing in the freedom of my soul And the truth of the matter is still the same It's that you and I, we will not be here forever The truth of the matter is still the same I'm ready to stand Ready to stand Ready to stand Ready to stand Stand, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I know, know I I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear I can see it falling to its knees But you know I'm not the same, my burden is a burning flame I hold it up for all the world to see But the truth of the matter is still the same It's that you and I, we will not be here forever The truth of the matter is still the same I'm ready to stand Ready to stand Ready to stand Ready to stand Stand, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I know, know I I'm walking in an open field, looking for some space to fill I believe there's something left to hold And I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear I'm standing in the freedom of my soul So even when the sun goes down, and there's no one around Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down I stand Ready to stand You know, you know, you know, you know I stand Ready to stand Stand, ready to stand |

A shapeless piece of steel
That's all I claim to be This hammer pounds to give me form This flame, it melts my dreams I glow with fire and fury As I'm twisted like a vine My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the flames And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is untold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds And the water, it cools me gray And the hurt's subdued somehow I have my shape, this sharpened point What is my purpose now? And the question still remains What am I to be? Perhaps some perfect piece of art Displayed for all to see So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the flames And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is untold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds The hammer pounds again But flames I do not feel This force that drives me, helplessly Through flesh and wood reveal A burn that burns much deeper It's more than I can stand The reason for my life was to take The life of a guiltless man So dream a little Dream for me In hopes that I'll remain And cry a little Cry for me So I can bear the pain And hurt a little Hurt for me My future is so bold But my dreams are not the issue here For they, the hammer holds This task before me may seem unclear But it, my maker holds |

She turned her head as if to hide;
There was just nowhere to go. 'Cause standing tall on every side The mighty fear of letting go She said, "My God, I'm so ashamed. Thirty years; a tragedy. I still believed that he could change. But he pulled me down, like gravity. He broke my will, but it's deeper still... ...deeper still." She told me morning was the time When the sun burned bright and clean And love grew fragile on the vine, All wrapped up in gold and green. "Because after all, we know we all Are after all the same things. But for the sun no rain would fall; And it burned him up and turned him mean. This fire that kills me, it's deeper still... ...deeper still." Tonight I rose up with the moon, And looking down from high above I saw a world carved and confused Into valleys deep in need of love. And falling down all thick with grace, Heaven's cloud of mystery Was filling every empty space, Down to the depth of human need (Love that heals me, love that heals me) This love that heals, it's deeper still (Love that's deeper still) (Love that heals me, love that heals me) This love that heals, it's deeper still... (Love that's deeper still) ...it's deeper still |

I don't know why
I always run Is it fear of the fall? Or fear of the touch And I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know how To really love I've never stood still Long enough I don't know where The angels sleep But I am alive Standing strong I'm no farther forward Just farther along Hold onto my pride I'm digging deep It's pulling me down And I am no closer To thee And I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know how To see you A friend from before Is different somehow I don't know where The angels sleep And I don't know when I'll love again But I don't trust myself To just let you in I don't know where The angels sleep But I am alive Standing strong I'm no farther forward Just farther along I've held onto my pride Digging deep It's pulling me down I am no closer To thee And I don't know where The angels sleep Its taken ten thousand days To get stuck in my ways It offers no grace I cannot stand this place With love and my faith I walk away slowly I don't know where The angels sleep I don't know where The angels sleep |

You're waking me up from my daydream
Making me look up from my precious world Forcing me to see your point of view This broken sidewalk, not so broken as The man who likes to walk, jumping all the cracks Pushing his old bike, he's sure to smile at you I was looking for the quick way home But you were happy just to be alone Something magic must have caught my eye I saw the secret of the man inside I saw the secret of the man inside It's not the sun-baked brick lines in your skin Thick with chain grease, aged and clumsy hands It isn't struggled words you fight to say Beneath the man-suit, beneath your purple skin There is a boy who don't know that he's a man He simply close his eyes and he can fly away I was driving in the same old car But you were dreaming of a land so far away I was looking through my corner eye But you were singing with the man inside You were singing with the man inside Some think they got a lot to offer some think they got a lot to give Those people think they own this world but some people know to truly live |

I can tell by this crack of light
Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day And I can tell by this stretch of silver Spreading all out across the curves of your face And for the love, for the love of God I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone And in a world that broke me down I'm standing up, but not alone 'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell But love is pushing me along I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail I can smell the summer in the air And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul Son, I know that it don't seem fair But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home I've got friends here that love me I've got all this mercy beating in my blood And I've got friends here that love me And that's something good, that's something good You and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back) I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back) |

I didn't know
How I'd love you When I walked into your life Now I have a heart I cannot keep And the greatest of fear Is that you'll leave me here Stranded in this water So deep So don't you turn away from me Because my heart and my hold Are in your hands If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands Just so you know I have never done this sort of thing before I've never given up my very soul But I have heard a voice Like none I've heard before And it's a voice that never grows old So don't you turn from me Because my heart and my hopes Are in your hands If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands So don't you turn away from me Because my heart and my hopes Are in your hands And If I don't seem certain It's just a common fear From a common man But I'm in your hands I'm in your hands I know I'm in your hands |

A page is turned by the wind to a boy with curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten But as history unfolds and the storybook is told He finds salvation not at the hands of man And the God of second chance Picked him up and He let him dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, preparing him the one To hold him up when he comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And now a man, here you stand Your day has come A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow With a careful cover of love that will not fail And the God of second chance Picked her up and He let her dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, preparing her the one To hold her up when she comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And grown up tall, here you are Your day has come Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by the hand And warm beneath the ardor, she took his heart instead And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand Just for her hand A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife And there is no secret to the source of this much life When the grace falls like rain is washing them again Just a chance to somehow rise above this land Where the God of second chance Will pick them up and He'll let them dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time, they're sharing with the one That holds them up when they come undone Beneath the sotrm, beneath the sun And once again, here you stand And once again, here you stand Your day has come |

The time is ours, your open arms
These frozen fields, all here at Selwood Farm This swollen love reminds me of Your spilling soul that somehow always fills me up Every word is true Gathered hearts are here just to sing their soul to you And every word is true I'm happy when I'm here with you, oh with you At Selwood Farm I see the sisters smiling I see the light upon their face Here is the promise that fills this place There is an edge of winter But there is fire that keeps us warm This is the harvest at Selwood Farm And these are the sons and daughters They turn in the leaves then come inside I welcome the healing of all my pride And this is a day worth keeping This is a day worth dwelling on This is the day at Selwood Farm And I don't know why, but my heart just smiles And I know that each day we're growing older But I still know the way So take me to the day Take me to the day At Selwood Farm Selwood Farm |

Lay down softly in our sorrow
Lay down sister to die And cover over, my sweet Father Cover over her eyes Your broken body, it cannot weather The years your youth still longs to spend So go down graceful, sleep with the angels And wake up whole again ‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line A fallen world took your life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down Slower passing are the hours To tell this tale that takes its time But the finest moment, no man can measure Is to look your Savior in the eyes So take her tender to Your table Take her from this killing floor To taste the water that is forever Let her be thirsty no more It was not her time; that's a useless line A fallen world took her life But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down And the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, Rita, lay down |
