unknown

Chorus
Godspeed your souls return
Deep from these waters
Straight to the angels arms
Beyond the sea

How sweet the days gone by
How sharp the corners
How blue the canvas sky
That set you free

Bridge
And oh somehow i know we're not apart
For i still hold your love inside my heart

How soft this light of grace
Shines through my sorrow
From some amazing place
You reach for me

Repeat bridge

Repeat chorus

There was someone i used to love
A long, long time ago
He found someone before i had
A chance to let him know

And every time i tried to get
My heart to close that door
I'd think about what could have been
And only love him more

I told a friend how sad i was
That fate was so unfair
This perfect love that could have been
My heart would never share

And not till summer came and went
Did her advice ring true
When i found out my heart was meant
To fall in love with you

We never know what could have been
But looking back we see
What could have been and never was
Was never meant to be

I saw the one i used to love
When i went out today
I said hello, i met his wife
Then i was on my way

It may be luck, it may be fate
It may be god's design
I only know it's no mistake
I'm yours and you are mine

We never know what could have been
But looking back we see
What could have been and never was
Was never meant to be

Day one god smiled
Gave us all the wisdom of a new born child
But by the time we take our first step
We've already begun to forget
What the heart knows the heart sees
We're just as much the forest as we are the trees
Every little seed trying to find
Where the light comes from

Chorus:
And it's a world of hurt
Nothing works
It's a lonely little planet made of dust and dirt
Who'd ever thinks that in de midst of all this
Something as beautiful as love exists
And when i hold you and you hold me
Heaven doesn't seem like such a mystery
Darling in a world of hurt
You make me feel so good

Day one of our love
Two heartbroken people scared to trust too much
Oh here it's comes that feelin' again
What every lover swears will never end
We thought we'd been there, done that,
But when we've kissed,
We knew we'd never been her...
We've never done this
All the walls comes tumblin' down
When you love someone

(chorus)

Everybody's heart aches, every time it opens
You don't know if you'll win or lose, you just have to let go
No i wasn't looking, it's funny how i found you
Just when i thought i'd live my life alone

Maybe it's love that i have longed for
Maybe it's love i should be strong for
I'm tearing down the walls inside, i want to laugh and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love i miss

I've closed my heart down, so many seasons
I didn't want to hurt again, i didn't want to try
So i turned myself to ice and stone, said i don't need anyone
And nobody else would ever make me cry

Maybe it's love i've run away from
Maybe it's love bringing me back home
I'm tearing down the walls inside, i want to laugh and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love i miss

So put your arms around me now, hold me tight
Show me how, no one has every loved me more
I've waited for so long

Maybe it's love, maybe i'm dreaming
Maybe it's love i can believe in
I'm tearing down the walls inside, i want to laugh and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love like this

Good morning, i love you
Now that you're here where you belong
I want to be the man you need
Just tell me you love me
Because i need to hear it too
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

I need you beside me
The road is so long
You run through my heart
Like the words of a bitter sweet song

I'd travel the whole world
Across the earth around the sun
If i could be the one
You carry deep inside of you

Without you beside me
The world is so cold
You live in my heart
And it hurts when i think of you gone

I need you
In my world
I have no right
To love so true
But let me be the one
The one who lives inside of you
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

Old ticket stubs, gum wrappers etched
In ways to write your name
Love letter scraps no strings attached
Just odds and ends and things
Wind blows through these photographs
Our innocence, the aftermath

Thanks to spring i changed my purse
Came upon this ancient curse
The ache and thirst to feel your touch
I wonder if i'll love that much again

Life's windows change, new faces flash
Like cars these days go by
Such little things unlease the past
Like feelings locked inside
Broken plastic dimestore ring
Holds al the tears my heart contains

Thanks to spring i clean these drawers
Dump this stuff out on the floor
I taste these tears, i breathe this dust
I wonder if i'll ever love that much again

Thanks to spring i wind these clocks
Empty out these cardboard boxes
Sweep across these closet shelves
The memories replay themselves

I open up my window wide
And smell the sweet new grass outside
Amazing grace, the seeds of trust
I wonder if i'll ever love that much again

Old ticket stubs, gum wrappers etched
In ways to write your name

Here under heaven's eyes
Down under paradise
Sometimes it seems like we're so small.
Here on the shores that reach into infinity.
How could we matter that much at all?
Would it be enough
If each of us would give our love?

Like sand on a mountain
Rain on a fountain
Shade on a shadow
A breeze in this tornado
Just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
And shine all your light in the sun

We live to learn to love.
Oh, mercy from above,
Amazing grace, like rain, comes falling down
We sing our hearts to you
Our song of gratitude
The voice of every soul, how sweet the sound.
We can only trust
All our prayers will add up

Like sand on a mountain
Rain on a fountain
Shade on a shadow
A breeze in this tornado
Just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
And shine all your light in the sun
Would it be enough
If each of us would give our love?

Like sand on a mountain
Rain on a fountain
Shade on a shadow
A breeze in this tornado
Just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
And shine all your light in the sun

Come on out, come on out in the sunshine, baby
Come on out and trust yourself
Come on out, come on out in the sunshine, baby
Put your blues up on the shelf

I just want to wrap my arms around you
But i will never hold you down
I been waiting on the day i see you kick some dust up off the ground
When you step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows, you're gonna walk in glory

Come on out, come on out of the darkness
Show the beauty in your soul
Feel your heart pounding
Let the rhythm and the breath of life unfold

I just want to wrap my arms around you
But i will never hold you back
Come on come on come on you've got to cut yourself some slack
Step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Walk in glory

All you really need is what you've got right now
Shine your light and tell your story
All god's children got to walk in glory

I'm just gonna wrap my arms around you
But i will never hold you back
Every little dream has got a string attached
When you step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Step out of the shadows
Walk in glory

From the first breath of her life
She flew straight into my arms
I used to catch her from the swings
When she was five...
And now she dances on the wind
In a world as hard as stone
She's so anxious to begin
And ready to fly...

And she walks with me
And she talks with me
As she holds her hand in mine
I know she'll find her way
Like the light of day
Cause it's love that makes her strong

Though i cannot stop the rain
And i cannot turn the tide
And i'm sure there will be things
That break her heart
I can only let her know
I am always on her side
And even as i let her go
I'll never be far

And she walks with me
And she talks with me
In her eyes i see her truth
Born of her fire and grace
As she finds her place
Cause it's love that makes her strong

And as she walks with me
And she talks with me
In my eyes she'll see my prayer
As she turns each page
Through this tender age
It is love that makes her strong
It's her love that makes her strong

There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason it's still standing
It was strong enough to bend

For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "hey well i might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
