Saved
06:46

I took a strand of courage
And wove it with a thread of belief
I wrapped a ribbon of hope into the braid of the rope
Stole a pattern from the ancient tapestry
And then I waited a very long time
yes I waited for a very long time
Until I heard a voicing praying, "Please, somebody help me
Please, someone throw me a line.'
So I took my rope and I cast it out
Held on tight to the end til I heard that voice shout,
"Hallelujah! I am saved."
I took the hand that was offered
I felt our fingers entwine
I let this stranger's embrace warm to friendship
Replaced the rope I'd made into the thread of my life
For I had waited a very long time
Yes I had waited for a very long time
Until I heard that voicing praying, "Please, somebody help me
Please, someone throw me a line.'
And I took my rope and I cast it out
Held on tight to the end til I heard that voice shout,
"Hallelujah! I am saved."

To Have & To Hold
06:47
|
|||
Your open palm reveals to me a fortune
Not one of silver nor of gold
An invitation
The risk of opportunity
Forgiveness for my soul
But I don't want to worry you
Don't want to cause anymore trouble
No I don't want to worry you
Don't want to cause anymore trouble
No no
You've got me for life
Your hand in mine and I'll never let go
You've got me for life
For better or worse
To have and to hold
Second chances are made for first mistakes
But you and I both know
We wiped the slate clean
No point in counting
We let the past go
I don't want to worry you
Don't want to cause anymore trouble
No I don't want to worry you
Don't want to cause anymore trouble
No no
You've got me for life
Your hand in mine and I'll never let go
You've got me for life
For better or worse
To have and to hold

Everybody has left somewhere
Something or someone
Behind them along the way
Their choices made
That’s how they got here
Everybody is in pursuit
Of the dreams that they’re chasing
And every choice that they make
Is steered that way
That’s how they got here
But if this is the River, where is the Sea?

Say What You Mean
05:03
|
|||
Say what you mean
And mean what you say;
The opportunity may never come again.
Say what you feel
And feel what you say;
Knowledge is a fine thing but passions will prevail.
Choose your words precisely,
No-one knows what “might be” said.
A thought of any consequence is worthy of the Word’s respect.
Say what you mean.
Say what you mean
And mean what you say;
The moment of attention can end before it starts.
Say what you feel
And feel what you say;
Logic is persuasive but conviction needs a heart.
Choose your words precisely,
No-one knows what “might be” said.
A thought of any consequence is worthy of the Word’s respect.
Say what you mean.

Something Wonderful
04:22
|
|||
Well it’s written in the stars that all we got to do is listen
There are signals everywhere
You’d have to close your eyes to miss them
Time is on my side
It’s on your side
It’s on our side
Something wonderful is gonna happen
Sometimes it feels like a little bit of luck takes an awful lot of time
Something wonderful is gonna happen
Something wonderful
Well there’s patterns on your palm where the fortune teller reads predictions
But only history reveals the difference between fact and fiction
Time is on my side
It’s on your side
It’s on our side
Something wonderful is gonna happen
Sometimes it feels like a little bit of luck takes an awful lot of time
Something wonderful is gonna happen
Something wonderful

The Reasons Why
06:07
|
|||
If I never got around to saying all the things I should have said
We both know the reasons why
Maybe we both knew better
Maybe it's better late than never
We both know the reasons why
If I missed an opportunity or two
I know you missed your chances too
We both know the reasons why
Who knows, it could have been the real thing
But I know it takes a lot of healing
We both know the reasons why
I'm not sure and think I ever was
So young but we'll never be so old again
We both know the reasons why
Bur right now, here in this moment
We share a past we're still discovering
We both know the reasons why
Yes, we both know the reasons why

Life Burns Brightly
02:57
|
|||
Take my word for it, there’s more than you could ever possibly imagine.
Investigation into miracles and magic reveals the science but not the attraction.
Life flickers in a single soul
But Life burns brightly in us all.
Character Witness I call you to the stand to hear your testimony.
What price existence? Mortality demands the resurrection of your soul for his glory.
Life flickers in a single soul
But Life burns brightly in us all.
Life burns
Life burns brightly
Life burns so bright.

Ever On
04:41
|
|||
This old confidence was never as young
As it was when we made all those decisions
Age has a way of stripping away
The layers of faith we have in us
In the cool of spent emotions
Here we are
Flesh and bone
Lasting devotions safe from harm
And as this evening passes into memory
I catch the wave
The endless wave that carries me ever on
And so it would seem the ties that bind us
Are stronger than those that keep us apart
The night and the day are two separate dreams
With one obscured by sleep
In the cool of spent emotions
Here we are
Flesh and bone
Lasting devotions safe from harm
And as this evening passes into memory
I catch the wave
The endless wave that carries me ever on
