Time To Heal

I know it's hard to understand                         
The pain and scars from those we trusted
Sometimes it feels easier to be on our knees
Than face the devil at your door
But all we need is just, a little faith.                                           

It takes time to heal
It takes time to heal
Time to rise up, time to feel
Time to change our point of view
It takes time to heal

They say that peace comes after the war
And through our fears we discover courage 
And when the lights are fading out
That's when we've only just begun
Cause after darkness, comes the rising sun


It takes time to heal
It takes time to heal
Time to rise up, time to feel
Time to change our point of view
It takes time to heal                                                                    

And we're gold, the reason love stories are told
The stars that light the blackest of our nights
We’re wrapped up in your magic, a silhouette of your prime
And every step I take, leads me to your door
It just takes time …

Time to rise up, time to feel
And time to change our point of view
It takes time to heal
It takes time to heal

 

I Choose You

If I had only one wish, left in this life.                                   

I’d choose you Lord, I’d choose you. 

If I had only one breath, left in these lungs of mine.         

I’d praise your name Lord, your Holy name. 

 

I choose You, Lord                                                                                 

I choose You

When it’s down to the only one

I choose You. 

 

Sometimes it gets dark and cold                                               

Feels like there’s nothing left, in this soul.

But I know You’ve got me Lord, I believe in You  

 

And when it comes down to who’s loving me most              

There’s no one like You. 

Your perfect love never fails, to make me feel brand new …  

 

I choose You, Lord                                                                                 

I choose You  

When it’s down to the only one

I choose You. 

 

I choose You, Lord                                                                      

I choose You

Cause You bled for all I need

So, I choose You. 

 

Oooh! You make everything beautiful.                                     

Oooh! There’s none more wonderful than You                       

Oooh! I stand in awe of You, my God!                                       

Cause I choose You Lord, I choose You.                                     

 

And when this test of faith is over                                              

I’ll be waiting here for you.                                                         

Cause I chose You Lord, I chose You.                                         

I chose You Lord, I chose You.                                         

I chose You Lord, I chose You.    

Don’t Use Your Love

Wake up my little angel, you've been fast asleep 

You’ve been out in space for far too long.
The demons you've been fighting, the truth that you’ve been hiding    
Has left a trail of broken hearts.  

 

Love is love, it’s beyond compare

Love’s not a toy that you leave everywhere.

You take it or you leave it, there’s nothing in between

We make our own choices, that’s how’s it’s been

 

You take it or leave it

Yeah, you take it or leave                                                               

 

But don’t spill your love, on me, on me

Don’t use your love, don’t use your love, on me, on me                            

I used to be the crutch that you depended on            

I used to be the flame that kept you warm.

Now you’ve got me running, around and round in circles

Thinking that I’ll soon catch up with you. 

 

Lies are lies, there’s nothing in between

Don’t try to make it sound better than it seems.

I’ve had enough, of your accidental love

It’s time to cut loose, and stop this self-abuse

You take it or leave it

Yeah, you take it or leave                                                        

 

But don’t spill your love, on me, on me

Don’t use your love, don’t use your love, on me, on me                            

 

I'll take the fire, I’ll walk the wire
Believe your lies and don’t ask why
But don't use your love on me.                                                      

I'll take the fire, I’ll walk the wire
Believe your lies and don’t ask why
But don't use your love on me.                                                      

I'll take the fire, I’ll walk the wire
Believe your lies and don’t ask why
But don't use your love on me.

So don’t spill your love, on me, on me 

Don’t use your love, don’t use your love, on me, on me   

After The Fall (Part 2)

You said you needed someone to hold on to

You said you needed someone to lean on to

You said, you said this world, was way too much for you baby

Mmmm

There’s nothing to lose, when we came from nothing at all

There’s nothing to gain from nothing worth fighting for

It’s the same, that same old story, it’s time to let it go, just let it flow

I’d like to take you back, to when we first started out

When everything was simple, yet so full

So take my hand, we’ll walk that shore on golden sand

Cause life gets better after taking the fall 
Life gets better after taking the fall

Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall 
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall

 

So let it fall, fall, fall into these arms
And I will carry you,

til there’s nothing left to hold
Cause when we leave this world behind,

I know we’ll find that peace of mind
Cause life gets better after the taking fall
Life gets better after the taking fall
Life gets better after the taking fall

Son Of God

And I love the way you love me

You see right thru my bones 

And everything I broke, you made me whole, again

 

And I love the way you teach me

To look beyond what I can see

And realize that the worst, is when you're at your best

 

Son of God what a beautiful name you have

Son of God what a wonderful name you have

Tossed in an ocean of fears,

I was drowning with the weight of my burdens

And when all hope seem disappeared, 

I found your hand 

 

Rescued by your unfailing love

Drained from all my struggles 

But, my heart rejoices, in your salvation

Son of God what a beautiful name you have

Son of God what a wonderful name you have

 

A name above all names 

The name that washed all my guilt and shame

Hallelujah! And I sing Hallelujah!

You're slow to show your anger

And quick to forgive

I’m awed by the glory of your grace 

The Perfect Lamb of God

The Righteousness of God 

That saved me

Hallelujah!

And I sing, Hallelujah! 

And I sing, Hallelujah! 

And I sing, Hallelujah! 

And I sing, Hallelujah! 

And I sing, Hallelujah! 

Son of God what a beautiful name you have

Son of God what a wonderful name you have

The name above all names 

The name that washed all my guilt and shame

After The Fall

Can you remember, the first time you climbed up                       

That stairway between heaven and hell

The press was about you, the fans surrounded you

The town was covered with your name

 

You used to embrace, honour and grace 

You wanted that dream with no end

But they wanted a hero, who’d die for their cause                   

One they would eventually blame

 

Life only gets better, after taking the fall

Life only gets better, after taking the fall                   

So you try to move on, to make everything right                           

But somehow it feels wrong inside

Your heart is aching, your bones are breaking                           

But the pain makes you feel, alive, so alive

And I, I know it hasn’t been fair

They raised you up high, only to let you fall

And I, I know it’s foggy out there

But it’ll clear when the winds come

And I feel it blowing

Life only gets better, after taking the fall

Life only gets better, after the taking fall

 

And I, I know it hasn’t been fair

They raised you up high, only to let you fall

 

And I, I know it’s foggy out there

But it’ll clear when the winds come

And I feel it blowing                                                                                   

Life only gets better, after taking the fall

Life gets better, after the taking fall

Life only gets better, after taking the fall

Life gets better, after the taking fall

 

So can you remember the first time you climbed

That stairway between Heaven and Hell

A Song for Geri

When I think of you,

I see the friend that I once knew      

The most precious of the few

That would be you

 

When I look back in time, I never thought we’d be as one     

But somehow our worlds just crossed

At a time, when I was lost

 

So this is good

It’s for all I never understood

Time left me on my knees, crying please, release me

So this is great

It’s more than just two people’s fate

You’re all that I’ve been waiting for, and more, this is great.  

 

When I'm away

It’s always like a million miles away

I close my eyes and I’ll think of you

And then, I’m home again

This is good

It’s for all I never understood

Time left me on my knees, crying please you release me

 

So this is great

It's is more than just two people’s fate

You’re all that I’ve been waiting for, and more, this is great

 

You’re my island in a never-ending ocean

Where I can rest my weary head

And if the waters should dry up

Or the sky should lose its blue

I’ll stay right here with you

 

Cause everything would mean nothing, without you

Everything would mean nothing without you

Yes everything would mean nothing without you

Everything would mean nothing without you

Everything would mean nothing without you

Everything would mean nothing without you

Everything would mean nothing without you

I Will Hold On

I, I held you back
From a life that was meant to be gold
I've tainted it black

You, gave everything
Suffering in silence, you chose to see good over bad


And I know, it's all been a big mistake 
Though the way back to you looks hard 
I won't back down


So I'll hold on for you, I will hold on
I'll hold on for you, I will hold on

Restless mind, running on empty
I’m stilled by the voice of your heart 
It keeps me from falling apart

So I'll hold on for you, I will hold on
I'll hold on for you, I will hold on 
When nothing's right or nothing's wrong  
When this whole world has come and gone
I'll hold on for you, I will hold on

 

I, I won't let go 
When the Sun turns cold
And my body's grown old,

still, I won't let go

 

When I'm losing my head 
And I'm hanging by a thread,

still, I won't let go


So I'll hold on for you, I will hold on
I'll hold on for you, I will hold on 
When nothing's right or nothing's wrong  
When this old world has come and gone
I'll hold on for you, I will hold on

I Need You

I tried to live by your demands

A narrow road I’ve often strayed from

But I kept on driving

 

The more I climbed, the deeper I fell

Into a hole so dark and still

I just kept on going

I’ve always thought that I was strong

Didn’t feel that I belonged,

To anyone or anything

The life I chose to live

Was flaunted like a worthless gift, and now I realize

 

That I ……. I need you

And I ……... I need you

And you were there,

you were always there

Sat on that bench in the old park
and watched my memories

play in front of me

I wish I could go back then

You could always tell

When I spoke the truth or lied, and when I’m hiding

Beneath this bald-faced lies a heart

Filled with fragments of my faith, I try to keep together

 

I could run away, but I wouldn’t know where to run to?

Can I come home to you

Cause I ……. I need you

And I ……... I need you

And you were there, you were always there

 

I was walking on streets of fire

Living for that heat of the moment

Who will save me from my guilty pleasures          

Cause now I realized 

 

That I……. I need you

And I ……... I need you, Lord

And I ……... I need you

And I ……... I need you

And you were there,

you were always there 

For me, for me

On Your Own

Aren't you tired of wondering

in your desert

An endless journey with no vision

Your need to boast killed

the favours you seek                       
And your little sins don't make you a better man        


Letting go is easier said than done
Regret and Fear, cling on like old friends

Finding peace, the promised rest you haven't yet received

 

I see you staring into space
Searching for the answers

to how you got here

Lay down your guns, the war's been won

This fight was never meant 
For you to face, on your own 

In our flesh, dwells no good                      
Willing minds, weighted by weak bodies  The words we chose to wound, or to set free 

A choice you made in vain
Because you think you can't live without the pain

I see you staring into space
Searching for the answers to how you got here
Lay down your arms,
the war's been won
This fight was never meant 
For you to face, on your own

So let it go, I'll catch you if you fall
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you, at all A frantic world fills your heavy heart and soul.
So be bold and be brave, the road to rest begins with Letting Go

I see you staring into space

Searching for the answers to how you got here

Lay down your arms, the war's been won

This fight was never meant 

For you to face, on your own

On your own

Your own your own

Your own your own

The Girl I Love

She works till late at night          
Then takes the last train out of town
Filled up with a hard day’s work

She's happy to be home.

           

She wears a smile even though she's tired 

Contented with what’s in front of her

That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love
That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love
                    

We've been oceans apart

I've been stretching my homeward bound
Weighed down by yesterdays’ faults

It's been a heavy load to bear

 

And I'm not expecting that she'll understand      
The choices that shaped the man I am 


 

But that’s the girl, that’s the girl I love  
That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love, love, love      

And she's everything I'm not  
A perfect picture that can never be bought 
And she’s made a better man,

I thought I’d never be  

 

That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love
That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love, love, love   

That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love
That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love, love, love 

That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love 
That’s the girl, that’s the girl I love, love, love
