How Could I 04:14
Hold me now so I won't feel so insufficient to you dear Least of all to myself for harboring all these dreams in my bed For harboring all these dreams in my bed Bring me pain so I will remember how to fight to save you But most of all to save myself. To change and not to simply sleep through life To change and not to simply sleep through life Would I be everything that you would ever need How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me How could I How could I Show me love that brings me that hope for a tomorrow to come And not some idle fancy of my mind. A vapor that has blown and passed my way A vapor that has blown and passed my way Would I be everything that you would ever need How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me How could I How could I

When we first met it was like lightning struck And you changed my life it was more than luck Never thought I’d have what I have now But it seems like we both went our separate ways Even though we’re together every day I want you in every single part of my life again Make me smile like I used to Fill me with hope that we’ll pull through Let me get to know you like we’re starting from day one It’s who I love that makes me who I am I want you back and now it’s time to take a stand for you Even as I’m falling for you Carefully I form the words that I’ll say to tell The world that now I stand for you Even as I’m falling for you We used to talk til we both lost track of time We used to walk together to the very last mile I devoted my life to something higher than I am Now I know that you’re not very far I see yours in the shine of every single star And I can’t wait until we’re reuinited Make me smile like I used to Fill me with hope that we’ll pull through Let me get to know you like we’re starting from day one It’s who I love that makes me who I am I want you back and now it’s time to take a stand for you Even as I’m falling for you Carefully I form the words that I’ll say to tell The world that now I stand for you Even as I’m falling for you

Everything 02:51
To drive the demons from you would I give Everything For you would I give Everything To what end do I live or die Under whose cause will my banner fly Where can I find those sheltered wings Providing some better thing To give my best for you would I give Everything For you would I give Everything To what end do I live or die Under whose cause will my banner fly Where can I find those sheltered wings Providing some better thing

Should I be so surprised You would make me feel this way Should I be so surprised You would make me feel this way I expected it I neglected it Now it all comes back to me A mark that penetrates Placed upon my skin Plain and clear for all to see And when it's over Will you bring this soldier home And take the world from off his shoulder And make you all he's ever known You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for Help me to identify Anything that separates Help me to identify Anything that separates I expected it I neglected it Now it all comes back to me And when it's over Will you bring this soldier home And take the world from off his shoulder And make you all he's ever known You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for You are my War that I have fought so long for You are my War that I have fought so hard for Should I be so surprised

I know it's hard to find a place to start And it doesn't get easier as time goes on How can I let you know you're not alone How can I let you know I've been down this road before Wake me before I die from brokenness inside Save me before I'm lost with no sense of direction Where will you go without knowing the way Where will you sleep you've no place to stay How can I give you hope when you feel so alone How can I give you hope when I know the road just goes on Wake me before I die from brokenness inside Save me before I'm lost with no sense of direction

Bitter Cup 02:55
I'm drinking from this bitter cup Let it pass from me or fill it up Please don't let me swallow More than I am able I'm drowning down in this muck So let me drown or pull me up Please don't let me breath Longer than I'm able Well I have come And I have been wronged But how I've longed For this Now let this cup pass from my lips Let this cup pass from my lips I'm drinking from this bitter cup Let it pass from me or fill it up Please don't let me swallow More than I am able More than I am able More than I am able

Question me Question everything Breaking me Breaking everything When it comes what form will this beast take? When it comes what form will this beast take? I'm bracing for the fall Holding on for dear life I know it sounds so cold But I cannot hit the bottom this time Defenseless Defend everything Hopeless Hope for anything When it comes what form will this peace take? When it comes what form will this peace take? I'm bracing for the fall Holding on for dear life I know it sounds so cold But I cannot hit the bottom this time

I've always been described as one who has a way with words Knowing when and what to say But lately I've begun to realize There are times when words just don't suffice Like the actions of my Christ Like the actions of my Christ I've never been too good at this I always open up to much Never know when to hold back But lately I've begun to realize There are times when words are not sufficient Play it like it is Play it like it is Play it like it is Play it like it is Play that song for me one more time I feel your soul I feel your life I feel your heart pouring on those strings Striking chords of mine own Play it like it is Play it like it is Play it like it is Play it like it is

There’s a light that shines not far away To a path I’ve known would set the stage Bringing me ever closer to a dream I dreamed Where I become the light the light that beamed Where has the time gone I don’t know Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows Who knew forever was such a long time There’s the one I love not far away To get to her I spanned the seas Dividing me from space to space Where I became the water the water that takes shape Where has the time gone I don’t know Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows Who knew forever was such a long time
