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
Every breath I breathe And every song I sing And every love I've ever known Will never be enough To ever fill me up Like the calling of my soul
I know that everything One day everything will cry out...
Everything under the sun Voices sing out to the one Who made the stars up in the sky...and you and I Every heart that ever hurt And every kingdom on the earth Will see the heavens open up Over everything under the sun
From the city streets And from the fields of green And up from every crying stone There will rise a voice That will leave no choice It will come to call us home
I know that everything One day everything will cry out....
Let it fall just like the rain Hear it calling out your name Let it come inside and take you over
Every breath I breathe And every song I sing And every love I've ever known
(Verse 1:) Take my heart, and wring it out In Your hands and watch it all collapse Take Your Love, and drive it in Into my soul, and never leave again
(Chorus:) Cuz I am so afraid That I'll find myself alone Looking for a savior, looking for a home I am so afraid That I'll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, Lookin for a home
So don't leave me here alone Don't leave me here alone
(Verse 2:) All Your hope, and all my pride All this time to watch it all collide When everyone seems to say, 'You can work it out' Under my skin, I'm shaking And I can't get out
(Chorus)
So don't leave me here
(Bridge:)
This is not what You said It's all in my head When I throw my anger at You instead So don't give up on me I want to believe That You'll never leave me
But I am so afraid That I'll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home I am so afraid That I'll find myself alone Deep into the ages, deep into the foam I am so afraid That I'll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home
So don't leave me here alone Don't leave me here alone
My love, will you take my hand and run My love, can't you see that we have just begun
When she walks into a room, the whole world freezes To watch her spin just like the wind above the ground She won't break into you heart, she just eases Without a sound...
My love is deeper than the darkness of my soul And my love has the habit of forgetting to let go
And the crowd was pressing inlike perfect strangers That was the day I felt her hand slip out of mine She looked at me and I don't think she even wavered As she waved goodbye... She did not cry... But she waved goodbye...
My love, why did you take my heart and run My love, can't you see that we had just begun
Oh my love, don't you cry I won't leave you alone tonight So put your hand back into mine And I will hold you until the end of time
I hung my hope on your return Now all that sorrow so soon will burn So tend my heart with tender hands And see your sunshine pouring in
All the world is at my feet Cause you came sailing back to me
So look around you and look outside A great big love and the big blue sky And all the spring, and all this light And all these treetops....well, they're all mine
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
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
I got a little hope in my pocket I want to share of it with you Just be careful that you don't drop it Don't worry if you do 'Cause I've got broken down inside me And I might just need some help But I will get by Hey, hey
And I've got demons in my history Got bone beneath my skin I've been taken by a mystery Yes I've been taken in And sometimes voices down inside me Try to fight me for myself I will get by Hey, hey
What have I got to live for If there is nothing beating in my chest And what have I got to live for When this world starts turning It's burning me up I'm alright
I used to think love was just a barter Second hand coincidence What doesn't kill you just makes you harder So I use my common sense Keeping cold to keep my distance Til you took my pride away Now I will get by Yeah, yeah
'Cause what have I got to live for There is nothing beating in my chest And what have I got to live for When this world starts turning It's burning me up I'm alright
But I am not afraid No I am not afraid
And I will not go crazy
I got a little hope here in my pocket Want to share of it with you Just be careful that you don't drop it Don't worry if you do 'Cause I've got voices down inside me And I might just need some help I will get by Hey, hey
What have I got to live for There's nothing beating in my chest And what have I got to live for When this world starts turning Burning me up
When my heart is hurting I'm learning about love When this world starts turning It's burning me up I'm alright
It's a long way home, when the fists have flown In the silence, there's nowhere left to run It's the battle of our pending love In the shadow is another smoking gun
When we dreamed this dream for the first it seemed We could live this love for a lifetime You and me
(chorus) I will not give up this fight I will not lay down and die I will not carry this heart of stone I may not be your place to run I may not be your kingdom come I may stumble through this great unknown But I will be all that is true I will not give up on you I was made to be with you alone Cause you and me, we're gonna see The long way home
It's a long way home, and crying is done But the sorrow is still wet upon your face Our colliding hearts, sometimes break apart But now the pieces are gathered up in grace
When we dream this dream for the last time we'll see That we lived this love for a lifetime Just you and me
(chorus)
Cause you and I, we're gonna fly The long way home
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
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
I believe when they put her in the ground I think they buried part of me Cause I've been searching I've been looking all around But I cannot find the heart of me The heart of me
So I put my fingers in this soil upon her grave And I will plant for her a garden And every flower a reminder of her face Will grow up graceful as a pardon
And all that grows is her story told As life unfolds here before us The peace I've found in this broken ground I can see her in the harvest Of all that I have sown
And long before I was covered up in grey Before the old had bent my bones We grow our children in the red Georgia clay They were our garden and our home
And that grows is our story told As life unfolds here before us The peace we've found in that broken ground I can see them in the harvest Of all that I have sown
And when my life is done I pray the kingdom come Take me to glory And it's living inside me It was planted like a seed All to tell a story
And I believe when they put me in the ground There will remain a part of me Cause I've been searching And the joy that I have found Is living in my family
It's all that I have sown It's all that I have sown
Cover me, cover up my tears Cover up this man who's covered up in fear I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new You unveil me with your mercy I want to breathe you in You unfold me, then you hold me
Cover up my heart, cover up my soul Cover up this world and everything I know You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea Cover up the mountains and every part of me Everything single breath I breathe...cover me
I am still alive and covered up in years Covered up in lines as innocence appears So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you To cover all that's old with everything that's new You unveil me with your mercy I want to breathe you in And you unfold me, then you hold me You unveil me with your mercy I want to breathe you in You unfold me then you hold me I want to shed this skin You unveil me with your mercy You unfold me, then you hold me You unbreak me, would you take me home
