Why You Run Away
02:34
|

Don't try to slow down this water
Don't try to slow down my heart
I'm feeling a little under the weather
If I slow down now I may fall apart
And I know why, ya I know why
I'll even give you a head start
I'll count to five really fast
You can run away down the lane way
And I'll chase you as fast as you can laugh
And I know why, ya I know why you run away
Come over here, oh you daughter
Come over here, let me shed a tear for you

i (am) hope - Dre Remix
03:59
|
|||
I read by candle light.
To avoid the night.
I see no hope no end in sight.
I am the losing fight.
My daddy left today
Nothing I could say
I see my life shades of grey
I am what life betrays
I am hope
I am the dream that see's you through the night
I am the open arms of wingless flight
I am the bands of strength that hold you tight
I am hope…
I held my breath too long
Mind if I sing along?
I can't seem to find my own song
I am the weakest strong

Not Too Far From Here
03:56
|
|||
I saw the sun today
Through the disarray
Thought I'd let it go
Fly away black crow.
There's nothing left to stow here friend
Holding to the last thing keeping you back
Keeping you back here
To the very bitter end, this life ascend
We’re not too far from here...
So that change that comes our way
I think we shall embrace
And learn to live another day
No more hiding place.

I Need You
03:01
|
|||
Down the hill and out the back
Past the rusty rail road tracks
There's a place where I used to hide
The smell of autumn leaves
Hair ruffled by the breeze
Feeling you and I would soon collide
I need you… whoa… I need you
Stage the starlit sky
Where we met you and I
Oh the wonders that you bring
To the end of time
Where ocean and sky rhyme
You make beautiful things.
This is the healing
Wipe the tears from all your bitter years

Do It For Love
03:00
|
|||
Running away will never free you
Won't see you on your way
And the change that hangs us all to the fence, because we fear it,
Can only make sense when we can feel it
But if you can't find a reason to keep going
When it feels like you’re doing everything but growing…
Do it for love
And the ties that hold you down, hold me down too,
‘Cause I just hate to see you drown
To my brothers, fathers, sisters, daughters and mothers,
Turn your eyes up when you fall down
But if you can't find a reason to keep going
Feels you’re doing everything but growing
Do it for love.

Not There Yet
03:11
|
|||
Hold back I’ve never let go
Of broken glasses and curtained windows
I’d fly if I had wings, through the sky to forget these things
Could I hold you again?
Wrap my arms around your neck again
Will I know you again?
Get lost in life and laugh at the breeze again
Seems to me as I move along the more I age that the more I’m wrong
It’s like the further you get the more you know that you’re not there yet
Could I hold you again?
Wrap my arms around your neck again
Will I know you again
Get lost in life and laugh at the breeze again
Blue skies, open eyes, I realize that I’m not there yet
Blue skies, open eyes, I realize that I’m not there yet
Could I hold you again?
Wrap my arms around your neck again
Will I know you again?
Get lost in life and laugh at the breeze again

Ours To Choose
03:17
|
|||
I am the one they call son hurting way
Before the day has begun
Riding forward though the sun is long gone
The day is gone
Call me your own and I'll only fly away
To cry in the corner find another way to say goodbye
Just say goodbye
I know you are there, but I need to know that you care.
Play away the day hope that
Time will have it’s say I'm only
Moments from truth held on long enough
To throw away my youth,
I just need the truth
But truth is in the sky in the eyes of the children
in the breeze through the trees hiding
always there in simple plain view
But that's nothing new
So let's walk away from the
Same game of laying blame
And let go our heads hung in shame
Because there surely is no use,
That's ours to choose

Why Don’t You Call Home
The day we went walking downtown together
Through the rain and the sleet and snow
How on earth was I supposed to know?
That you were a ghost and my heart still blue
I couldn't see it from my point of view
Felt like a hole in an old canoe
So I said
Why don't you call home?
Why don't you call home?
On a cold lake in late December
Like a dog with an old raw bone
Holding too tight to make it safely home
We threw around a few bad ideas
And settled on the one that made you cry
I knew better than to ask you why
So I said,
Why don't you call home?
Why don't you call home?
So we'll walk some more and hatch a plan
We'll leave this town in the old white van
We'll migrate west and then we'll head down south
We'll teach our kids history by word of mouth
So I said,
Why don't you call home?
Why don't you call home?

Times Were Tough
03:36
|
|||
Times were tough
A whole other kind of affair
We were in the sun
A little longer than we should bear
Hold on tight it's gonna be a bumpy ride
Now there's one thing
you and I will never be denied
So we held on, as sure as paper sticks to glue
And the wind it blew
But there's no erasing this tattoo
The lights went out
But we never stopped walking through
We can't see our feet,
but at least it's just me and you
So let’s go for a dream or two
You know that we've got nothing to lose
Let's walk the tides of life and kick the shoes, We've got no excuse
Something tells me
that it's up to you and me to rescue

Between Me And You
02:11
|

This isn’t goodbye… just a lullaby
And the morning will come
So close your eyes to sleep
And this promise I’ll keep,
I’ll be there with the sun
I’ll be there with the sun
When the morning comes
I’ll be there for more hugs
I can hold back the floods
When I hold you no one can hurt you
And when you fall
I’ll clean the dirt that you
That you have on your hands
‘Cause I love you no matter what you do
Or what happens between me and you
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll be there by your side
This isn’t goodbye, just a lullaby
And the morning will come
I’ll be there with the sun
