as the sun goes down, past the far horizon, let us stay and mourn the passing of the greater light but as we wait, the dusk is rising - breathe the soil, the sounds, the moon is climbing through the trees Chorus i don’t know where i go from here, there’s a feeling in me it’s not very clear life is changing like the light is fading fast but I know that you are here, and you’re very near as the colors change, the greenest grass is golden and edges soften, deepening to gray and blue then the light waves its final fingers - sip the twilight, smell the sweet breeze rustle through the leaves now the sun is gone and all that’s left is silver, another day has left us in the soft moonlight it seems we all have our path to travel - watch the captain sail the moon-ship through the starry seas if i must go through this life i just want to know – will you stay by me will you stay by me, even though…

when i was a little child my momma rocked me in her arms at five i’d been from old new york way down to mexico we never stopped in one place twice, i’d been around the world three times when i was sixteen i was still the new kid growing up it sure was hard, life didn’t match the fairytales moving back and forth made me confused, worn out and tired but there was still a place to go, we packed our bags and headed home to where my parents grew up, where their lives had begun Chorus play switch me up and spin me around this spinning leaves me upside down this place which i've been living in i cannot call my home i’m reaching up to touch the sun i’m on the road that i’ve begun play switch me up and spin me around then one day i was on my own, i didn’t know where to call home i’m in between the worlds of here and there, of now and then so i made do with what’s around and questioned everything i found i wonder if there really is a place that’s truly home i can’t remember all that was, sometimes i felt like giving up living like that left some scars i’m sure but i would not trade all those days for something that did not take place it is the road i’ve traveled, i thank God for who i am i’m glad that life’s not up to me, cause if it were i’d probably be someone who hasn’t known the downs and outs, the crap of life but as it is i search for home and find that i am not alone there’s others trying to make sense of life’s inequities there are glimmers of the master weaver’s plan when i think of all the things that i’ve been through and as i observe the ways of mice and men there is hope in our tapestry’s creation i’m going out beyond the shores to join in the exultant sound i’m going up a-yonder to be with my lord

chasing shadows in my head, maybe things best left unsaid we sit here with the silence between us can it be cut by a knife - how do we divide this pie, draw these lines why don’t you tell me what you want from me, are you my friend or my enemy why don’t you tell me what you want from me Chorus every mess i make of my life, The Potter turns it into something beautiful every mess i make of my life, The Potter turns it into something beautiful you say all you want is honesty, but i can read between the lines what you want is not a man who knows what he wants, but a man who wants you why don’t you tell me what you want from me are you my friend or my enemy why don’t you tell me what you want from me every time that i fall down He picks me up and puts me back together talkin' 'bout all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put this broken man together again but He can chasing shadows in my head maybe things best left unsaid we sit here with the silence between us

i gave you my heart, i gave you my soul and if you should break them, where will they go what profits a man to gain the world and lose his very soul? Chorus i’m gonna give it up to the one who can heal every sorrow and gives living water that no one can steal i’m gonna give it up to the one who can heal every sorrow and gives living water that no one can steal and if he should break them, I will not care this love is amazing, this love is for real don’t let me down now sister if you let me fall don’t worry i’m layin’ it all down, giving it up to the father, the maker of all i’m gonna give it up to the one who can heal every sorrow and gives living water that no one can steal give me some of that living water i’m laying it all down, giving it all up to the one who can heal every sorrow

if you should hang your hopes upon the stars be careful lest they fall ‘cause this old world is full of ancient scars even you can’t find them all Chorus i’ve got voices crawling ‘round my head i’ve got skeletons lying in my bed, under the sheets they won’t leave me if you should build yourself a castle, don’t build it on the sand ‘cause this old ocean tends to rock the boat, before it runs into the land now that you know, where can i go? where can i run to? all that this lonely man wants is to see a smile light up your face and know that you’ll stay awhile you say there’s beauty in this madness, something i can’t really see and all that i can know of gladness, is if you say you’ll still smile at me

there is one girl for me, and i know it will be you my love there is one girl for me, you must have been sent here my love ‘cause when we kiss i feel the bliss of heaven from above there is one girl for me, and i know it will be you my love there is one girl for me, and i know it will be you my love there is one girl for me, you must have been sent here my love i know for some it’s hit or miss, but we fit like hand in glove there is one girl for me, and i know it will be you my love when i’m playing to a crowd, i wish that i could see you around because i miss your face, miss your embrace so much that i could say out loud…

it's hard to wake up when the sun has yet to peek above the trees but harder still when all the world outside is cloaked in snowy freeze i see the worry in your eyes, it touches me like winter's chill so i'll turn up the thermostat - let's forget about the bill Chorus cast away your worrries and breathe deep - we've got good times 'round the corner breathe deep - the long winter's nearly over just put on those dancing shoes, dance away those rhythmless blues after all we've got nothing to lose - breathe deep it's just so cold outside i wish that i could stay right here in bed let snow do what it will but don't you let things pile up in your head i see a robin on the window, maybe that's a sign that better days are here to stay not here today and gone again i have to get up every morning just to make sure i'm alive then go to work and pay the bills - it's what you do just to survive but i know with you by my side we could reach to outer space so look around, the world is here and what's more spring is coming so let's get up we'll take the milky way and float above the floor breathe the stardust let our feet tap out a dance right through the door there is a way that takes us through - it's the only way that's true if you go then i will go too - it's joy, joy, joy!

walk me down to the shoreline, where the long grass blows hold my hand in the moonlight, watch the blue foam crash sit with me in the cool sand, think about our destiny - You and Me let it come from deep within – this groan that shakes my soul with longing there is so much beauty in life, but too much pain for one to hold maybe two can make the best of things i cannot see the farthest shore, just that it’s a long, long road to hoe we have yet to reap the harvest will you dance with me along the starlit shadowed waves will you dance with me along the way to heaven let it come from deep within – this song that shakes my soul with longing stand with me at ocean’s edge, ready now to take the plunge only one can know the outcome ask the one who put forever in the hearts of all humanity put it there that we might follow will you dance with me along the starlit shadowed waves will you dance with me along the way to heaven let us welcome the sun as the light grows in the east dance with me at low tide – eternity is calling may the one who is forever hold us safely in his arms eternity is calling, and will welcome us home let it come from deep within – this love that shakes my soul with longing

i am not a thief, i am not a murderer, but what if i was maybe i’d see justice, maybe i would pay for all the evil things i’ve done but the thief and the murderer, they cry “Oh Lord hear our plea!” they find refuge not through justice, but through mercy. i am not a blind man, i am not diseased, but maybe i should be maybe then i’d feel pain, maybe they would see that i’m not what i seem but the blind man and the leper, they cry “Oh Lord we believe!” they find healing not through deception, but through certainty. never walked a bloody mile or carried the world’s burdens, but I know someone who did just a lowly preacher born like you and me and this is what he said: “no greater love has anyone than that they give their life for a friend” but when I was still his enemy, Jesus died for me. i'm a thief, i’m a murderer, i’m a blind man, i’m diseased for i took the Son of Righteousness and i nailed him to the tree yes i take the Son of Righteousness and i nail him to a tree i am a thief, i’m a murderer, but i say death where is your sting? for i know that in the Risen Son i am truly free i’m a blind man, i’m a leper, but i say “Lord I believe!” and i know that in the Risen Son i am truly free

i wear these roads like a second skin, just like this car i’m driving in i wanna breathe deep so that the wind can cool the burning my oil is dark like blackest gold, the gearshift stuck and the engine cold i need some light that will help me look past the next turning Chorus this point is the farthest i have ever been from home i hear a voice that says to me ‘steer into the curve’ i watch the lines move on up ahead, these horses go where they are led i wanna drive fast so that the stoplights turn red behind me my wheels are worn like a pair of shoes, the timing’s off and the tailpipe’s loose i need some power to help me through where darkness hides me the valley’s shadow is coming close, the depths are promising repose from pain which only seems to grow the more i’m living this engine’s stalled and the battery’s done, coasting down this hill i’m on i need a spark that’ll help me start the engine spinning when i was a child i held on to mother’s hand now that i’m grown i still don’t understand is this the farthest i have ever been from home? i hear a voice that says to me ‘steer into the curve’ i’m putting on a different skin, just like this car i’m riding in i’m gonna breathe deep so that the wind can keep me burning my oil’s refining to brightest gold, i hear the engine becoming bold i’ll follow the light as it leads me into the next turning this point is the closest i have ever been to home i hear a voice that says to me ‘steer into the curve’

will i ever know the touch of your hand on my face will i ever see the lines of your shape in the dawn light - cool breeze through my window will my eyes ever blow butterfly kisses on your skin will i ever, will i ever see you again and i know, yes i know that everything changes and sometimes all that you can do is try but how long, ‘til you and i are one how long must i wait to have someone by my side there is a way that leads to despair but i know that my way does not lead there for there is a way that leads to life and in that way there is time for my desire

i'm on a journey to reach the great waters, where i've never been i don't know the roads, but i know the direction i'm traveling in i want to watch the mighty waves crashing before i die to know just how great, how big is the ocean and how small am i this burden is light, i journey along on my own two feet with only enough, just a meal to share with whomever i meet my home is behind but i know i will reach there at my journey's end i'm in the unknown but i know i am never without a true friend i know i must go through those far blue mountains and what's in between and when the night falls i'll walk by the starlight and by the moonbeams though valleys may come and shadows may fall across my way i'll reach to the heavens and lift up my voice in praise come what may will you come with me to lose your life going where you've never been are you one who's willing to gain your life seeking what you've never seen this is the journey, this is the purpose - the great rolling sea to know just how great, how big is the ocean and how small are we. this is the journey, this is the purpose - the great rolling sea to know just how great, how big is the ocean and how small are we. i'm on a journey to reach the great waters, where i've never been i don't know the roads, but i know the direction i'm traveling in
