IF IT’S MEANT TO BE
selected songs:
Tender glory
The wind whispers
the wind whispers on the plains
We dance underneath the moon
We have everything to gain
Forget about yesterday
Your touch takes me away
To another day, to another place
Every morning your face brings me to life
Tender glory, how your face shines in the light
I can’t grasp you cause your spirit is too big
Just to know you makes me want to live
Walk with me to a place that’s not so far
Where we can lay under a blanket of stars
And for a moment I can hold you there with me
Until your glory rises up so free
One Hand on the wheel
Methodically pressing forward with one hand on the wheel
And the wipers sway from side to side and the rain tries to conceal
This emptiness around me and floating in my head
But the memory reminds me of your body in bed
The past cannot find me; your face has washed away
The impression of the mattress from living day to day
Alone I’m useless and I can’t feel my hands
I want them to hold you, to make you understand
Consumed by the ghost of your being
Lost in the light of your light
Controlled by these insecurities
That keep me walking on the edge of a knife
I can’t take the corner; I cannot turn the page
I can’t fall asleep at night—I’m awake with all this rage
But anger is what pushed you away
I just push you, and push you, and push you
Push you away
It’s such a tragic play
The sands fall, the birds call, and I don’t feel a thing
The fires burn, the world turns, and I don’t feel a thing
The rivers flow, the winds blow, and I don’t feel a thing
No, I don’t feel a thing
red light madness
One-stop walking down the road of life
Stop lights flashing, keeping me in line
If I don’t remember where I’m coming from
I won’t get where I’m going when the day is done
I brush the dirt off my jeans and take the road ahead
I could drive, but I walk instead
To feel the earth move beneath my soles
Gives me sense of direction—a sense of control
Nobody tells me that I’m walking too fast
Nobody tells me this will never last
There’s a time in your life when you know you’ve gotta break free
There’s a house on hill with a candle inside
IIt beckons me to seek shelter a while
The road curves ahead and out of sight
But I keep on walking; everything’s alright
Nobody tells me that I’m walking too fast
Nobody tells me this will never last
There’s a time in your life when you know you’ve gotta break free
You might be scared on your own and afraid of the light
But your strength will soon replace your fright
There’s a time in your life when you know you’ve gotta break free
these songs
You said I could use some time to learn
Cause I’m a little scared, that’s all
And the things I already know
Keep me pinned against the wall
And you could be right
That I’m always wrong
But if things worked out, then
Well, who would write these songs?
If I found a way to stop the rain
Would be content, or would you still complain?
And if I found a way to make you cry
Would you turn and walk away? Would you say goodbye?
If I was someone else
Then I’d let you know me
But I am just myself
By myself, living for me
So I won’t let you in
To take a piece of me, oh no
The man behind my eyes
Is not the man that you see
Between epiphanies
Take me away—far away from here
Tell me stories to wipe away these tears
And show me something to make me believe
Give me answers—I’m down on my knees
Well I’m sorry—I don’t mean to complain
But it seems I’m alone again
So please remind me what it feels to be alive
And forget the pain inside
Hollow me, oh hollow me
I’ll follow you; I’ll follow you
Mountains stand tall seeing the world so clear
The mirror calls me to look at my fear
It’s so hard to accept who you are
To realize the truth is not so far
Can I find my way through the crowd I’m in?
Can I cast away this sin?
Can I swim until I reach the shore?
Where I’ll find myself once more?
Hollow me, oh hollow me
I’ll follow you; I’ll follow you
I believe in you
