Every woman every man

every saved every damned

every color and every party

Every boy every girl

is a hope to cure the world

of desire of a domination

So spoke a river

so long my soul, don’t take it down

take it down

Strip the life from a girl

cause every coffin holds a pearl

we may laugh but it is not funny

so lose your fear, lose your blame

lose your freedom, lose your shame

we know that it’s a fabrication

So spoke a river

so long my soul, don’t take it down

take it down

I cut your father’s table

then I lied to you

and you knew it

I didn’t leave the door open

and I don’t do the things I should

But if you showed me anything

it’s self emptying love

If you showed me anything it’s self emptying love

It’s alright

You cannot steer a ship

that is not moving

The only way to walk

is to pick up your feet

You were the zephyr in my sail

and you hold the latern in the dark

But if you showed me anything

it’s self emptying love

If you showed me anything it’s self emptying love

It’s alright

I want you to know that you’ve grown me

now I want you to know me

because I want you to see me like

like I see you

Not everyone who laughs

does so in good humor

keep the tray on your hands

and stay off of the cross

cause nothing is obvious to everyone

and when tenure did not come

You gave us everything

in self emptying love

you gave us everything

in self emptying love

It was alright because every night

you put your hand upon my head

I want you to know that you’ve grown me

now I want you to know me

because I want you to see me like

like I see you

You bore through a hard term

though they said cut it short

Giving our lives into larger hands

you didn’t take the easy way out

And with those hands upon you

you bore a boy

Sometimes if you have faith

Miracles do happen

Once there was a boy who slid into a stone

feared to die

Once there was a boy who struggled for air

feared to die

but there was also a mother

who prayed for grace

and so grace healed the pieces

and breathed for the lungs

grace

Sometimes if you ask for grace

miracles do happen

Once there were two boys

delivered into a world of unknowns

the very first of which is

are you my mother

As fate had it

these two were not to be disappointed

the mother they were gifted

was surely heaven sent

Sometimes you just get lucky

and miracles do happen

Sometimes if you have faith

Sometimes of you ask for grace

Sometimes you just get lucky

and miracles do happen

Bands of grass

given at the edge of a river

follow the path

to where the song bird tells of new life

Hello

do you want to walk through the woods

we could lose time together

we will lose time together

With small words and a stone

comes a big heart to fill your lives up with love

with a smile and a soft tone

every day can be as good as this one

Hello

do you want to walk through the woods

we could lose time together

we will lose time together

Dearly beloved

we are gathered together today

to bear witness to a many splendid thing

a thing that lifts us up where we belong

and thing that breathes life

a thing that fills our souls up

and overflows into everything we know and that we do

it begins with hope

and it begins with a word

Hello

do you want to walk through the woods

we could lose time together

we will lose time together

A hundred years i’ll be dead and gone

how long ‘till we admit that we’re wrong

I can’t keep going on

not like this

Change comes from above or below

and changes in the weather are all that will show

that we needed this

long ago

Take me back, pay the late fee

clean your plate, see the family

A hundred years i’ll be dead and gone

what about me and you was so strong

and how could it have gone so wrong

easy

Mortality is so much more, more evident

and morality is shed off for the pence

as we take steps to kill our descendants

Take me back, pay the late fee

clean your plate, see the family

drop in, open your eyes

to the new

sunrise

A hundred years i’ll be dead and gone

how long ‘till we admit that we’re wrong

I can’t keep going on

not like this

I wanna wake up every day without you

no I don’t want you back

But can I see the horizon over me

with all my doubt and my fear

hanging around like a cloud

I can’t see

I wanna wake up every day without you

no I don’t want you back

But can I see the horizon over me

with all my doubt and my fear

hanging around like a cloud

I can’t see

I wanna wake up every day without you

no I don’t want you back

Walking out through the drifting snow

we quickly learned

tonight is not just another night

not everything is earned

my hand in my pocket, but so was yours

and so I clung

to the idea from your fingers that was telling something

had just begun

So I bought two PBR’s

and you pressed play on my heart

and I don’t wanna be alone with myself anymore

she said that’s alright

I’ll be alone with you, in this space for two

purple chased the blue

She said I thought that you would never ask

well neither did I

have belief for a second

until the band I was willfully blind

We move are feet to the beat under the flashing blue light

and so I clung

to the feeling we were stealing, undefeated we were reeling

i’m so undone

So I bought two PBR’s

and you pressed play on my heart

and I don’t wanna be alone with myself anymore

she said that’s alright

I’ll be alone with you, in this space for two

purple chased the blue

Fascination walked down my stairs and infatuation stayed

So I bought two PBR’s

and you pressed play on my heart

and I don’t wanna be alone with myself anymore

she said that’s alright

I’ll be alone with you, in this space for two

purple chased the blue

Lately my love it’s all seemed to show

I’ve been a fool to my heart

wherever it goes

You saved me from the fear that we’re in this alone

just a boy in the world

who’s finally found home

So I won’t go to California

or Salt Lake City

but I don’t know where we are

as long as you’re with me

Love in a song like the fresh fall of snow

a song so soft

but it lets me know

That I won’t go to California

or Salt Lake City

but I don’t know where we are

as long as you’re with me

(am I a dream)

So I won’t go to California

or Salt Lake City

but I don’t know where we are

as long as you’re with me

Frost creeps in our minds shining out a beacon

of cold light drawing doubt that chokes out the hope

with a careless disregard for the quiet

and the warmth

Exhausted is what we are dreams stolen away

bound down by pretty lies abused and mindless

drowning behind our very

own walls

So who’s sick of that gold whore say I

say I

The truth is we’re stripped to the core

left to die

to die

So who’s sick of that gold whore say I

say I

Born here in this cold the devil pulls the strings

the hole of a promise taken is the face in the disguise

so wake up

see who you are

created by

So who’s sick of that gold whore say I

say I

The truth is we’re stripped to the core

left to die

to die

So who’s sick of that gold whore say I

say I

A bright gold light has been coming to me lately

a sign that I might be just a little bit crazy

but your eyes

they wrap me up and keep me close

the blue skies

are driving my fears away

la da da da

I might be caught but there is no need to save me

so let’s take our shot cause who knows just maybe

Your lips

and the feeling of your fingertips

my heart beat

oh, it’s so hard to keep my feet

I’m head over heels

head over heels

Falling out of control and I don’t want to come back

no no no

A bright gold light has been coming to me lately

a sign that I might be just a little bit crazy

but your eyes

they wrap me up and keep me close

the blue skies

are driving my fears away

I’m head over heels

head over heels

Falling out of control and I don’t want to come back

don’t want to come back

stay here with me love

stay here with me love

The glass feeds desire between us the builds to

a fire

the past leaves reminders that show us

we were strung out by a liar

I should slow down

to prove that I can get older

This vast expanse of time that is wasted

on much too little youth

as we cast the dice we realize

that we were never told the truth

I should slow down

to prove that I can get older

for you

my love and my light

this thorn in my side is

for you

I don’t want to but I need to

I should slow down

to prove that I can get older

for you

my love and my light

this thorn in my side is

for you

A steady pace with a quick heart rate

blue and white

drifting through this rocky mountain night

A new life will be born from this

goodbye

to me to you for it’s us after I do

A sweet light beyond the western sun

tonight

we will be forever one

And I will be open

and you will be free

and with all of this love surrounding

we will build our family

Love love love love love

And I will be open

and you will be free

and with all of this love surrounding

we will build our family

So take care of your love

so take care

of your

love
