this light
this light
this light
find me
unbind me
remind me
are you even there?
do you even hear my prayer?
or is it all just air?
are you even there?
this light
this light
this light
you know my name
it isn’t all the same
this isn’t just some game
you know my name
this light
this light

Got to Believe
03:27
|

there’s dust in your pockets
change in your shoes
a hole in your soul
you’ve got nothing to lose
no one to have you and
no one to hold
just a prayer
and a bible
and what you’ve been told
thoughts in your stomach and
hunger in your head
it’s the only thing keeping you
alive when you’re dead
fall on your hands
dig with your knees
anything, anything
i’m begging you please
won’t you fall on your hands
dig with your knees
you’ve just got to believe
there are waves on the sky
clouds in the sea
the blind all have sight
are you looking at me
someone to have you and
someone to hold
he’s a man
with a promise
and a life that he sold
thorns on his conscience
your sin is on his head
it’s the only thing
keeping you alive
fall on your hands
dig with your knees
anything, anything
i’m begging you please
won’t you fall on your hands
dig with your knees
you’ve just got to believe

go easy on me
go easy on me
take that long road
’round that last hard right
but if you got to go
go easy
it ain’t easy on me
it ain’t easy on me
to take that long road
’round that last hard right
but i got to go
it ain’t easy
it ain’t easy on me
go easy on me
can’t take that long road
’roud that hard right
take that long road
’round that hard right
go easy

Daylight
04:06
|

seven years ago i saw the
moon drop to the earth and in the
darkness i found pieces of the sky
i didn’t really know that it was
morning that i held and that the
darkness was just daylight in disguise
seven years ago i stacked those
pieces end to end until the
darkness was a shelter to despise
i didn’t really know that it was
morning that i built and that the
darkness was just opening my eyes
daylight daylight stayed with me
drunken, broken, stubbornly
picking through the pieces of my pride
daylight daylight don’t you know
never ever let me go
though it was on darkness i relied
seven years ago i saw the
moon drop to the earth and in the
darkness i saw pieces of the sky
i didn’t really know that it was
morning that i held and that the
darkness was just daylight in disguise
seven years ago i flung those
pieces to the ground and in their
crashing i heard all my questions why
i didn’t really care that it was
morning that i tossed and turned and
crashed and burned ’til darkness turned to light
daylight daylight stayed with me
drunken, broken, stubbornly
picking through the pieces of my pride
daylight daylight don’t you know
never ever let me go
though it was on darkness i relied
daylight, daylight
daylight, daylight
daylight, daylight
daylight, daylight

you came and you gave
i gave all my treasures away
i was lost and i’m found and i’m thinking
i’m bound to be wound up in you
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
sweet roses, blue violets, sweet you
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
sweet roses, blue violets, sweet you
you came and you lost
you lost all that life at the cost
i was lost and i’m found and i’m thinking
i’m bound to be wound up in you
and you came and you won
i won all that life now it’s done
i was lost and i’m found and i’m thinking
i’m bound to be wound up in you
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
sweet roses, blue violets, sweet you
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
sweet roses, blue violets, sweet you
and you take all my troubles
and you lay them out plain
and i’m wagerin’ double
that i’ve no one but myself to blame
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
roses, violets, sweet you
and i’m wound
up in roses, red roses
roses, violets, sweet you
and i’m wound
in roses, sweet roses
thorns remind me of you

River Rising
03:53
|

she ain’t got nowhere to go
as the river’s rising
sound the horn of jericho
as her flax is drying
o sister, glory be!
glory be our mother
o sister, glory be!
the father, son, the lover
bought her way with half the moon
crimson on her shoulder
tie the knot they’re coming soon,
no ransoming this soldier
o sister, glory be!
glory be our mother
o sister, glory be!
the father, son, the lover
bandits come prowling,
gather all your kin
prairie winds come howling
river
river rushes in

The Way of Light
03:17
|

do you know the way of darkness?
do you know the way of despair?
do you know the way of making it right?
take me through this night
do you know the way of regret?
do you know the way of shame?
do you know the way of making it right?
in this darkness, i have no sight
put candles on my altar
pull incense through my hair
pour water on the way of this cross
and i’ll wash my burdens bare
you take all my darkness
and you turn it around
and it sparkles with the water
as it weeps from your crown
and you take all my darkness
and you turn it to right
and i know the way of light
do you know the way of daylight?
do you know the way of air?
do you know the way of freedom?
do you know i’m almost there?
do you know i’m almost there?
do you know i’m almost there?

take a walk with me
tell me what you see
be my eyes, be my ears
i am feeling so blind
take a walk with me
tell me what you see
trace my face with your lips
i am feeling so numb
i’m coming undone
i can’t take
no i can’t take it
you turn my face to the wind
you say, “breathe it all in,
open wide”
you tell me, “take it all in,
wear the sky on your skin
and the birds will fly to you”
you surround me
you, you surround me
take a walk with me
tell me what you see
be my salt, be my light
i am feeling so blind
take a walk with me
tell me what you see
trace my face with your lips
taste the bread and the wine
but i can’t cross that line
and i can’t take
no i can’t take it
but you turn my face to the wind
you say, “breathe it all in,
open wide”
you tell me, “take it all in,
wear the sky on your skin
and the birds will fly to you”
you surround me
you, you surround me
i’m taking the cross in this way
there’s no other way
no other way
you’ve taken away my attack
there’s no turning back
no turning back
when you, you surround me
you, you surround me
fly
the birds will fly
fly to you
fly
the birds will fly
fly to you
fly
fly
