Look Away

Remember on the porch that night / Our faces lit by firelight / Friends were talking side by side / Except for you and I / The world around began to fade / I felt your eyes upon my face / But when I tried to meet your gaze / I had to look away / It’s too strong / Like a place where I belong / And if I had held on / I’d give my life away / It’s too good / Felt like loving should / Worthy of your world / But I knew I shouldn’t stay / So all I could do was look away / You’ll tell me later on in life / When we met on the porch that night / That when we caught each other’s eyes / You had to look away / The world unfolded in that moment / Present, past and future stolen / And if we’d left our gaze unbroken / We’d be there all our days / It’s too strong / Like a place where you belong / And if you had held on / You’d give your life away / It’s too good / Felt like loving should / Worthy of my world / But you knew you shouldn’t stay / So all you could do was look away / It’s too strong / Like a place where we belong / And if we had held on / We’d give our lives away / It’s too good / Felt like loving should / Worthy of this world / But we knew we shouldn’t stay

The world awaits your eyes / To uncover their surprise / Every little moment of your life / Just move with the intention to thrive / I’ll tell you why / Just to be, you’ll praise / Just to live, you’ll amaze / And to love, you’ll change for good / The world awaits your hands / To shape it into a worthy land / To value every grain sand / And draw near all those who were abandoned / I know you can / ‘Cause to be, you’ll praise / Just to live, you’ll amaze / And to love, you’ll change for good / The world awaits your heart / Brilliant and gifted from the start / And even as it will break apart / What’s broken is beautiful, is art / Oh yes, it’s hard / But to be, you’ll praise / Just to live, you’ll amaze / And to love, you’ll change / Just to be, I praise / Just to live, I amaze / And to love, I’m changed for good

Sheba

Revolution takes time / And so do wounds to heal / So, come over baby / And we’ll take it slow / And we will teach each other how to feel / ‘Cause I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, won’t you please, won’t you please be mine tonight? / Remember when King Solomon was tempted by the Queen of Sheba / And do you remember when she bore him a son? / And all those who followed in King David’s lineage / Oh, they were destined to be God’s chosen ones / So lift up your window shade for that tonight, my love / And won’t you let all the people see? / That the moonlight can more color a human face / Than can their man-made electricity / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, won’t you please, won’t you please be mine tonight? / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, I want to make you mine tonight / Oh, won’t you please, won’t you please be mine tonight? / Revolution takes time / And so do wounds to heal / So, come over baby / And we’ll take it slow / And we can teach each other how to feel

Sister
04:04
|

Push me high on the swing / Only sky everywhere in front of me / Spinning fast beneath the tree / Taking care never to let go of me / Sister, where are you running to? / Sister, are you coming too? / Sister, I’ve been loving you / Late at night, in your bed / If you’re quiet I’ll tell you everything he said / Head hung low, arms outstretched / Just you know how heavy the whole world it gets / Sister, where are you running to? / Sister, are you coming too? / Sister, I’ll be loving you / Hear your smile on the phone / Wonder why it suddenly feels like we’re grown? / Sister, where are you running to? / Sister, are you coming too? / Sister, I be loving you / Sister, where are you running to? / Sister, are you coming too? / Sister, always loving you

Blame
05:26
|
|||
Yours is a memory just bathed in its own mystery / I’ll always wonder what it was and could have been / And mine is a noble heart that covets its own anger / That’s just not something I’ve been ready to rid / ‘Cause all I have to do is forgive you / All I have to do is forgive myself for not forgiving / The blame keeps me from reaching the place / Where I see your face clearly / Take it all away, and I still miss you / Take it all away, and I still miss you / Could writing a song help move things along? / Change my vision of the past / Prepare my soul to let time unfold / Loosen my webs and tangles / Loosen my grasp / ‘Cause all I have to do is forgive you / All I have to do is forgive myself for not forgiving / The blame keeps me from reaching the place / Where I see your face clearly / Take it all away, and I still miss you / Take it all away, and I still miss you / I know I can’t predict the future / And I know, I know I can’t undo what’s past / I wish to let it lie / Not like I’ve found the answers deep inside / But I keep trying / The limb begs the axe / The limb begs the axe / The limb begs the axe / The limb begs the axe / The limb begs the axe / The limb begs the axe / Take it all away, and I still miss you / Take it all away, and I still miss you / And I still miss you / And I still miss you

Easy On You (acoustic)
04:55

Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / I’ll tell you right here, our pain is just freedom / That we don’t think we’re worthy of / No, we’re worthy more than we know / I’ve lived enough years to love all the seasons / To crave a walk in the snow / Just so I can be alone / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Tedious and brief are my days worth living / Yes, they’re worth every breath of my soul / Every hearthache, every hole / I’ve lived enough years to know love’s just a reason / To let our hearts break again / Oh, that feeling is how we grow / Go nice and slow /
Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Easy on me, easy on you
