I have a wife, and together we live, in a very small room
Yesterday she lost, her car broke down, and now I ride a bicycle You say, I told you so, you were much too young to get married. But I say, You're way too old, and when did you stop living anyway? As I ride my bike, with my safety helmet on, and white tennis shoes, they stare at me but I see through new eyes, or maybe you just don't remember This place that I'm supposed to be, is not the chair in front of a desk in front of a mirror Can't you see that it's not here or there or anywhere But in speaking distance with God,and where can you go that's too far? Because I can worship him anywhere |

May God answer you in the day of your trouble,
May his name set you in safety. And send them help from the sanctuary, Support from the heights of heaven. Grant your children their hearts' desire, Before their eyes, fulfill your promises That we will shout and bring praise, As he answers your requests. I know the Lord protects his chosen, I know he answers from on high. The strength of his fingers, Lifts us up before we fall. Save, O God; Save, O God! Save, O God; Save, O God! |

It's difficult to say goodbye after only one life
The rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams And this burning tree that's withering will bloom again Would you believe? Goodbye, goodbye Walk away it's time to say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye Walk away it's hard to say goodbye Now all that's left Pictures on the walls Memories and stories that are told The more often told the bigger they get Create a legacy lest we forget Goodbye, goodbye Walk away it's time to say goodbye No longer can I hold onto this defeated change in heart I swear It's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it My voice it will be, You know I will be, Yes it will be still Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy Halfway there but He always fills my cup And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up Goodbye, goodbye Walk away it's time to say goodbye I never took the time To stop and realize That death takes many forms Even while alive |

Days go by. Turn into weeks.
I'm not vagrant but I've really Nothing to speak of... life's purposes evading me. Try oh though I might, Can't keep 'em in my sight... And now who's controlling me? If it's not myself, it must be someone else you see. Face down in a pool of my own sorrow. Will it last or will it leave tomorrow? Broken man, he's got you on his mind. All life's rewards are broken dreams someone forgot I guess; Forgot to wake me up you see. Are you suprised the world's not free? Now words are all you've got, Words aren't good enough for me. You've gutta move if you'll be free. You gutta bow your head. You gutta give it up. Be free. Face down in a pool of my own sorrow. Will it last or will it leave tomorrow? Broken man, he's got you on his mind. |

well i fought a good fight; i thought the battle had been won
i thought that it was over, until you came along sweet as candy sour as a lime you rattled my cages, you took me for a ride... smacked and knocked down, you hit me blindside i thought i had waited but it was the wrong time Jesus prepared me, and do with me as you will i'll wait till this is over, for me you will fufill... people will come and go, but Jesus remains the way, put your hope in heaven, and you'll never be the same... |

Don't think you'll get away.
No one ever has. Don't think He'll turn His back. It doesn't work like that. You're caught just like me but it's not really all that bad. I think someday you'll understand, let's just hope that day comes fast. I bet that you don't know just what it is you're running from. Your eyes are so blank. These kinds of things are never good. You're caught just like me but it's not really all that bad. Someday, I think you'll understand, let's just hope that day comes fast. You're running faster than I ever could. I guess you're right, I guess I can't understand. But what I know is you can as fast and far as you want But it won't make any difference in the end. |

I feel Your presence when I'm on my knees
Asking for forgiveness, Lord, hear my cries and pleas I know You're there Lord, I knowyou care I know you set me free, but I'm still scared I know You're there, but I'm still scared... Through prayer, Lord I see the works You've done in my life Even when the times get hard You lift me up in Your light... I know You're there Lord, I know You care I know You set me free, but I'm still scared |

You share her with me yesterday, so close and yet so far away
It's the little things she does that magnify your grace And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow She's a blessing, you've given to me, Father of light The lines have fallen in pleasant places, Many daughters have done well But you excel them all. Protect her and mold her with your hands You've been good to me my sweet And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face You have been a shelter Lord, and she has been my dream Beautiful, beautiful, I feel your grace abound on me In the light, in the light At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow She's the blessing, you've given to me, Father of light |

All I know, all I have is what's been given to me.
What I know is real is all I can dream. I feel my heart is changing. The one and only thing I know is "we ain't going nowhere", five hundred thousand Be it sometimes I might, yeah, I put up a fight. Gotta get this off my chest tonight. All my thoughts are rearranging. And what I really want to know is are we going nowhere? All eyes peer, looking from the outside. Tyou don't understand what you see in me. I come renning out on your playground. Sometimes things are the way they're meant to be. You stare at me and ll these things are coming down. I'm not sure and you're giving me the run around. Could it be that you don't know me? It's all in the way that you shun me. (Sometimes things are the way the're meant to be out on your playground.) |

I want to show you how much, I don't really know you too much
And I can't skip out of this misfortunate predicament I can't get myself out of it, it's all too much Too late, yes I guess that it's so Guess I just wanted to know But I can't shirk responsibility considering it's all there is to being me And I just though you should know If you just keep opening doors I promise that I'll keep testing the locks Hello, this is the end of the line Oh yeah, I doing just fine No I won't pretend that I am open-eyed, unsurprised or anything but mystified True and tried, I guess it takes this long to realize Just how much I don't know |

empty swings and i see couples kissing walk the path that leads back to the house it's time for bed "goodnight my love" she said break my fall today i lack the strength it takes to be invincible from this earthly toll so many falls to break please show me what it takes to be immovable when my spirit shakes drive back home is this the same old road i've seen those trees but never quite so clearly circumstance will change the way we see this won't last i'm not alone break my fall today i lack the strength it takes to be invincible from this earthly toll so many falls to break please show me what it takes to be immovable when my spirit shakes |

avenues and dirty arches you run down the street and i will follow
try try sliding through the network of a crowded paradise my tears are indivisible underneath overexposure like a shellshocked distant past ride ride sifting through the remains surfing on a concrete tide my tears are indivisible animals in pretty cages you have watched them wear their ugliest faces cry cry saline droplets splashing in the boat that saved your life my tears are indivisible when we fall we're always sorry but it makes us glad to know it's only temporary |
