Hard to Hear

Through this crack in my chest
I will fill with joy
I will fill with joy
Through this pain in my neck
I will sing my heart
I will start again
And it might sound strange
But I felt the sign
And believe me when I say I know
I don't have much time
To get it right
In a cool dark place
There was empty grace
I came back to face
Myself again
It was love, love, love
It was love, love, love
Ain't it hard to hear the truth sometimes?
It was love love love!
It was love, love love!
Man, it's hard to hear the truth sometimes
Through this crack in my chest
I will fill with joy
I will fill with joy
Through this pain in my neck
I will sing my heart
I will start again

God's House
03:41

We get small
When we walk into God's house
There was a time I didn't know
All I could do was borrow
My mother said, "Do what you like,
there is a light we all follow."
And we get small
When we walk into God's house
She lay there in white
Both hands on the bed
No flowery mystery in her head
Only the love of all she had known
And the truth that we all go out alone
When we walk into God's house
I think of the end
I know what I know
There is a light we all follow
There isn't an out, there isn't an in
A place that we end and we begin

Daniel

Daniel, I don't mean to get too precious on you now
But I have found a love and I'm just trying to know how
To hold it in my arms yet set it free until the light passes through
Daniel, I am dying for a Midwest country road
Maybe you could help me find a new place I can go
I need to spread my arms and let in all that I can't see
A lake between my toes and all this fear inside of me
getting out
Daniel, could you tell me how you seem to keep your cool
With everyone around you clearly sharpening their tools
To dig a hole so deep so that a man as tall as you
ain't getting out?
Daniel, I'm still standing on the grass in my front yard
A fear inside me so loud that I cannot hear my heart
My summertime is waning
I need one reason to start heading out
I'm heading out
I am not asking you for anything
that you cannot give me
I know my faith it comes in whispers
but my insides are screaming

Love Is You
05:33
|

|
My mother said to welcome it
When love comes knocking on my door
I wonder how I'd know a sound
That maybe I've not heard before
I'll listen hard
I'll listen long
'Cause love is big
And love is strong
And love is light
And love is free
If I listen hard
It will find me
If God is good and God is strong
And God is all and all is one
Then all I have is all I need
And all is love and love is me
So listen hard
And listen long
'Cause love is big
And love is strong
And love is light
And love is free
And love is you
And love is me
Love is you
And love is me

Baptized
03:06
|
|||
|
Two full days in one
The sun, the shade, the sun
I saw the maze behind your eyes
Finally gone
I had a dream we took a drive
Fingers laced, clean inside
The coldest sin, the oldest lie
Baptized
And we woke up
with the lake in our eyes
Now we set the hours down
We breathe one in, we breathe one out
The ghosts we left to wander through this town
Go to sleep there
with the lake all around

Keep On the Light
04:59
|

|
I hope the world keeps its balance
I hope the hunter gets his prize
I hope the field mouse makes it home tonight
I hope the hero never dies
I keep myself awake with questions
My mind runs naked through the night
How can we miss the things we've never had?
How can we know what isn't right?
There's a cool bright hope
Streaking through the night
We just have to wait up
And keep on the light
Sometimes I picture myself flying
I feel the cold air in my wings
I watch the world from up here burning down
I swear I can't do a thing
The truth is that my heart can hold it
I care from sea to shining sea
My love is bigger than my righteousness
The cynicism's leaving me
There's a cool bright hope
Streaking through the night
We just have to wait up
And keep on the light
Keep on the light
I hope the world keeps its balance

You Wouldn't Know Me
04:45
|
|||
|
It's 12 o'clock and the circus breaks
I took my lover to the vending gates
What's for sale? Popcorn, whiskey shots two-for-one
We drank, and I paid
And you wouldn't know me now
On Sunday mornings I'm called
To the corner church's bell toll
And I'm sure to take the concrete way
While every bone in my left foot breaks
The choir sings till I cry
Hallelujah! fists and knives
Bruised knees on wooden planks
And you wouldn't know me now
I'm stranger somehow
The sun's down on the perfect day
A 45 and some loose change
We shuffle in to the big top
Pay the man and the show starts
He said come and I came
And you wouldn't know me now
I'm stranger somehow

Call On Me
05:00
|
|||
|
Call on me
When you're stumbling
With a stone in your heart
I am listening
When the pain of living
Gets sharp
I am witnessing
Call on me
You are not alone
Even in the darkest places
You are not alone
Even in the sharpest narrows
Call on me

Smaller
04:16

I love it when the world gets smaller
I love it when the trees get taller
I love it when the river bends
I love you friend
I love it when we're out past midnight
I love the first snow in starlight
I love it when the broken mends
I love you friend
Ooooo
I love your face in the morning
I love a kiss without warning
I love the love light you send
I love you friend
I love the thought of a sunrise
I love a good natured surprise
I love the garden we tend
I love you friend
I see you in the sunlight
On a path that is so right
Can you feel the love light I send?
I love you friend
Ooooo

All It Takes
02:09
|
|||
|
Standing in the longest cold
I pictured my young self old
All it takes is a little light
To get that seed out of the night
All it takes is a little light
Stand up Misty
Win this fight
Sometimes you can feel the end
Just the moment it begins
Fear nothing, loosen what's tight
Endings bring you to the light
And all it takes is a little light
Stand up Misty
Win this fight
