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
