How Far
03:10
|
|||
How far is far enough to get away from it all
Maybe if I bought a boat I’d know
I’d set a course for anywhere and watch the curtain fall
On every bad excuse I had to go
But if I sail far enough
Would I end up right back on this rocky shore
How far, how far, how far
How far would I have to go
Because I’d buy every ticket I could find to get me there
Take every train or plane or broken road
But every destination I find, takes me unaware
Like the letter that I didn’t know you wrote
But if I sail far enough
Would I end up right back on this rocky shore
How far, how far, how far
How far would I have to go
It’s the same star in every sunrise
Different constellations but the same moon every night
It’s a new sea, but the same tide
And I’m still drifting, waiting for the ending of the line
How far, how far, how far
How far would I have to go
How far, how far, how far
How far would I have to go

Faith in You
03:54
|
|||
I don’t think a lot of things will turn out the way we want them to
I don’t always hold a lot of hope for what we are living through
Call me pessimistic and you might not be wrong
But if you call me, faithless, I am not that strong
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith in you
When everything around feels sad and broken, you’re my shooting star
I see your smile and I can’t help but think that maybe heaven’s not that far
I’m sorry I know that’s not fair to do
But when I’ve lost my way, I’ll find my way to you
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith in you
Hold my hand so I don’t float away
Say my name so I won’t be afraid
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith in you
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith in you

Dear God
03:43
|
|||
Dear God, it’s been a while since I called you
And the world wasn’t falling apart
I wish that I could smile the way I used to
And my chest didn’t carry a broken heart
I will go down this winding road
I will follow where you’re leading
But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold
Does it mean I’ve stopped believing
Dear God, I always try to do the right thing
Always try to do the things I should
I’ve spent my life to show the world you’re loving
But I’m not sure it’s doing any good
I will go down this winding road
I will follow where you’re leading
But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold
Does it mean I’ve stopped believing
Dear God, I think that you can hear me
Dear God, there’s so much I want to tell you
Dear God, the world you love needs healing
Dear God, and I could use some too
I will go down this winding road
I will follow where you’re leading
But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold
Does it mean I’ve stopped believing
I will go down this winding road
I will follow where you’re leading
But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold
Does it mean I’ve stopped believing

Limping on a Hope
03:56
|
|||
You came to me in the middle of the night
I was unaware, and I was left behind
I was was all alone and you were so strong
I was looking for love when you came along
I was looking for love when you came along
I will hold on tight to you
Until you bring home, until you bring me home
I will make you see it though
Limping on a hope, limping on a hope
We grappled there by the Riverside
As the stars gave way to the morning light
I let you leave and I did the same
With a broken hip and a brand new name
With a broken hip and a brand new name
I will hold on tight to you
Until you bring home, until you bring me home
I will make you see it though
Limping on a hope, limping on a hope
I knew I wouldn’t win
And so did you, so did you
Been through hell, and back again
Where were you, where were you?
I will hold on tight to you
Until you bring home, until you bring me home
I will make you see it though
Limping on a hope, limping on a hope
I will hold on tight to you
Until you bring home, until you bring me home
I will make you see it though
Limping on a hope, limping on a hope

A Time for Peace
03:45
|
|||
Seems like when it comes to war
The money never wavers
There a wound within this shattered shore
That won’t heal without our neighbor
There’s been time enough for hate
There’s been time enough for grief
There’s been time enough for death
Could there be a time for peace
Shouting at the hollow air
Like somebody up there hears me
Wondering if they even care
It’s enough to make you crazy
There’s been time enough for hate
There’s been time enough for grief
There’s been time enough for death
Could there be a time for peace
We’ve been torn
We have cried
We’ve been scattered far and wide
We’ve had war
We’ve been broke
We’ve lost, alone, or didn’t you know
There’s been time enough for hate
There’s been time enough for grief
There’s been time enough for death
Could there be a time for peace
There’s been time enough for hate
There’s been time enough for grief
There’s been time enough for death
Could there be a time for peace

Land of Hope and Plenty
02:53
|
|||
There’s a land I’ve never seen
Where each person knows of love
Every cup is full of water
Every plate has food enough
No more neighbors living homeless
And the rivers all run clean
Oh Lord, I’m feeing homesick
For a land I’ve never seen
It only stays a dream if we never wake
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
There’s a land I hope to see
Where each broken heart finds peace
And nobody is a victim
For all greed and evil cease
Every faith and culture valued
Every kind of prisoner free
Oh Lord, I’m feeling homesick
For a land I hope to see
It only stays a dream if we never wake
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
Won’t you walk with me a while
‘Til this pain and struggle ends
Remind me to be grateful
For the chance to start again
‘Cause we’ve got a way to travel
Make me thankful in each mile
Oh Lord, I’m feeling homesick
Won’t you walk with me a while
It only stays a dream if we never wake
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
It only stays a dream if we never wake
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
