NICE TO KNOW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wouldn't it be nice to know
That all is in the past
Wouldn't it be nice to say good-bye to pain for the last time
And it’s sad to see your heart go unexpressed
Oh I’m holding on for something real to come my way
Wouldn't it be nice to know
Your tears are not in vain
Wouldn't it be nice to say let love go it will come back soon
And it’s sad to see the years we all did waste
Oh I’m holding on for something real to come my way
Could you be that part of me I try so hard to find?
So many blind trying to lead the blind
And whether it’s right or wrong I see things so differently
Knowing you will speak to me
You have the voice my heart can hear

Nowhere

~~~~~~~~~
NOWHERE
~~~~~~~~~
Boarding planes to fly me past the Milky Way
Hoping if I cross the ocean I’ll greet a better day
Can I meet the man in charge or has he gone away?
Oh, this has got to change
Take me, somewhere I can go
A place I’ve never known, I’m nowhere
Show me, somewhere I can grow
A place to call my own, I’m nowhere
Writing down all the things you’ll want to hear
Rehearsing in the mirror hiding any sign of fear
All I ever wanted was to keep you near
Oh, can’t you see?
Take me, somewhere I can go
A place I’ve never known, I’m nowhere
Show me, somewhere I can grow
A place to call my own, I’m nowhere
Lights, camera, action, where is my candid passion?
Needing space looking for grace in your reaction
Is this the stage I’ll have to feature all of my disasters?
Curtain’s up and I am down, I’m going to drown
I need someone to...
Take me, somewhere I can go
A place I’ve never known, I’m nowhere
Show me, somewhere I can grow
A place to call my own, I’m nowhere

Get Me Through December

GET ME THROUGH DECEMBER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain
As the changing of seasons prepares me again
For the long bitter nights and the wild winter's day
My heart has grown cold, my love stored away
My heart has grown cold, my love stored away
I've been to the mountain, left my tracks in the snow
Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go
I've taken the pain no girl should endure
Faith can move mountains; of that I am sure
But faith can move mountains; of that I am sure
Just get me through December
A promise I'll remember
Get me through December
So I can start again
Your divine purpose brings freedom from sin
And peace is a gift that must come from within
I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest
Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest
Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest
Get me through December
A promise I'll remember
Get me through December
So I can start again

WAIT
~~~~
“I’m strong!”
They’ve been the words of my silent song for quite awhile now
That’s fine, yet all this time
Your hand’s been reaching out for mine
How weak should I be
You carry me in love’s sweet mystery
I’ll stay covered here
Allow the tears to speak for me
I’m gonna wait
I’m gonna wait for you
And someday I’ll run
I’ll run with you
This place, this lonely place
Yet your embrace is all I need
This grace, this steady grace
Keeps up the pace and I can face the fear
Your love is enough
To walk this road and not give up
I’ll rest ‘til you come
Settle down and be me in your arms
I can stay here I am safe here
No need to be somewhere else
I can stay here I am safe here
No need to be someone else

Did You Cry?

DID YOU CRY?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking out my window
it's a gray, gray day
The river's finally open
could spring be on its way?
This winter's been hard
But I've found a bit of grace
My heart is tired
I don't want to let go
but my hope is weak
Did you cry
When you knew my pain?
Did you smile when You
knew help was on the way?
Did you fear
that I would run away?
Before you got a chance to say
“It'll be okay”
I’m grateful for tomorrows
I look for them everyday
I’m realizing some things
are gonna stay the same
No hiding for me anymore
I’ve got a lot to say
Love can show up anytime
I’m not acting in this little play
Now I know there's roome to grow
in this life I'm planted in
The sun is here for me
I can breathe

MY LIFE
~~~~~~
Full when empty
Standing when shaking
Dreams when vision died
Safe when lonely
Real when joking
Soft when hard inside
You offer life to me
What’s true is a part of me
Your light these shadows they collide
This is who you want me to be somehow I can see
It’s the road I’m walking down to make things right
It’s the road I’m walking down to get back my life
Hope when heavy, joy when mourning
Peace when fear’s alive
Love when hating, first when losing
Great when least is fine
This is who you want me to be somehow I can see
It’s the road You walked down to make things right
It’s the road You walked down to give me back my life

OUT WEST
~~~~~~~~~
I’m headed out West
got a plane to catch
I’m tired and I’m dreading the cold
Invited to dine at a table for twelve
Not certain just how this will go
I’m just a square peg, in a round hole
The shoe doesn’t fit anymore
The odd person out, not a face in the crowd
And I’m wondering why I left home.
The evening begins and we all settle in
The stage has been set for the show
The honoured guests are not with the rest
Where could they be, I don’t know?
The secret is out, this isn’t my crowd
Politely I head for the door
We’re glad that you came, seems to be the refrain
The truth is I’m looking for more

SHELTER
~~~~~~~~
Well alright, you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind, to lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure, well baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the endless night
Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul and leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you, to wash mine clean
You've felt it too, and you need me
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the endless night
You're struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes
You're struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the endless night
Let me be your shelter, shelter

HOLD ME DOWN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
Vision in the night,
hold me down
Vision in the night,
hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
I saw the light
ooh the light
hold me down here
I saw the light
ooh the light
hold me down here
Hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
There is nothing you can do
There is nothing you can say
To make me love me you more
than I do today
Hold me down

HOME
~~~~~
Before I go
There are things I need to say
You’re not alone
You don’t need to be afraid
In a little while you’ll see me
In a little while you’ll believe me
That this was best and you can rest knowing I must leave
It’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be good
Now I know I’m understood
There’s gonna be light, there’s gonna be joy
I’ve painted colours red and gold
I’m going home
You’ve been with me
And I call you friends
From the beginning
This is love that never ends
