Hopeless Heart

I can see it from your eyes and the blood on your hands
That your whole life is a lie and that you’ve got no plan
I can see from your blue skies that have now turned to grey
That you fell into the lie and now you’ve lost your way

You’re not hiding anything

I can see your hopeless heart
Through your hallow eyes just open up and you will find
This life isn’t all what you thought
Just open up your ears long enough to hear
I can hear you crying out


I can see it from your lips how they quiver in fear
The thing you’re running from has now brought you here
I can see it from your palms how they’re soaked in nervousness
That you now try to hide behind your back with great distress


This isn’t who you want to be


I can see your hopeless heart
Through your hallow eyes just open up and you will find
This life isn’t all what you thought
Just open up your ears long enough to hear
I can hear you crying out


I can see your hopeless heart
Through your hallow eyes just open up and you will find
This life isn’t all what you thought
Just open up your ears long enough to hear
I can hear you crying out

Is This Life

I guess that’s how things go started out fast, ended up slow
Watch out I’m spinning out of control
I guess that’s how things end I guess we’ll just be friends
Watch out I’m spinning out of control


Is this life
Have I been dead for that long
Is this life
have I been apart from you that long
is this life
have I been gone for that long
is this right
have I been here before, have I been here before


I guess that’s how things are When you wish on shooting stars
Watch out I’m falling out of it all
I guess that’s how thing can be When I give up so easily
Watch out I’m falling out of it all


Is this life
Have I been dead for that long
Is this life
have I been apart from you that long
is this life
have I been gone for that long
is this right
have I been here before, have I been here before
have I been here before, have I been here…


before you say a thing, take a look around
clouds are breaking hearts awake to God


Is this life
Have I been dead for that long
Is this life
have I been apart from you that long
is this life
have I been gone for that long
is this right
have I been here before, yes I’ve been here before


This is life, I’ve been dead for that long
This is life, I’ve been apart from you that long
This is life, I’ve been gone for that long
This is right, I’ve been here before, I’ve been here before
This is life, I’ve been here before
This is life, I’ve been here before
This is life

Caged Bird

You broke your wing
such a sad story
why don't you go back to the place
where you first fell so far from me

you lost your voice
hints the lack of noise
why don't you try to make a sound
I believe it can still be found

why don't you sing me a love song?
why don't you bring me an offering?
cause caged birds don't fly
and caged birds don't sing
all caged birds can do is
wish to be free

you left your home
now you're all alone
why don't you go back to the place
you once knew you were loved

you broke my heart
when you chose to part
why don't you come back to me
come back to me

come back to me, I can set you free
come back to me, I can set you free
these bars don't look so welcoming
come back to me, I can set you free

now you can sing me a love song
now you can bring me an offering
case a free bird can fly
free birds love to sing
all a free bird has to know is that he's free

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away
like a bird these prison walls I've flown
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly
I'll sing
I'm free

I'm Tired (of love)

Its three a.m.
and I'm here again
thinking 'bout what she said
I just want to go back to bed
so I make up some story
to go with my so called apology
well, lets make it rhyme
maybe that will waste some time

and I'm tired of writing these love songs
cause some of them go on for days long
well don't you get sick of these?
cause everyone knows how much love hurts
except for the young and the fakers
who make it what they want it to be
I just want to get some sleep

Its eight p.m.
at the normal place again
words roll off the tongue
seems like we're having fun
until something is said
I know I'm in over my head

and I'm tired of writing these love songs
cause some of them go on for days long
well don't you get sick of these?
cause everyone knows how much love hurts
except for the young and the fakers
who make it what they want it to be
I just want to get some

and I've spent countless nights
trying to dig deep inside
to see if this is for me
or if i should just get some sleep
and I'm tired of writing these love songs
cause some of them go on for days long
well don't you get sick of these?
cause everyone knows how much love hurts
except for the young and the fakers
who make it what they want it to be
I just want to get some sleep

Jeffreys

Walk down Degama Street and I see a boy on the corner.
He walks up to me starts to speak and now I’m sure
This is where God wants me to be
I’m so sure, this is where he wants me

He starts speaking of his father the man who
Raped his sister and left him for dead
He just wants to piece things together
I’m so sure, this is where he wants me
And he cries

How can I do this on my own
I’m just a mere street boy
How can I do this all alone
Well I don’t know, but I know

God is doing something in Jeffreys
Healing water flow through Jeffreys
God is moving here in Jeffreys
And I can see it now, I can feel it now

Little girl, she runs around, around, around.
Little girl never seems to make a sound
I just want to know your name
I’m so sure, this is where God wants me

Open wide, your mouth and cry
Tell me what’s been going on in your life
Have no fear little girl
Tell me what’s been going on
and she cries

Why do bad things have to happen
Tears fall from her eyes
Why do these things always happen
Well I don’t know, but I know

God is doing something in Jeffreys
Healing water flow through Jeffreys
God is moving here in Jeffreys
And I can see it now, I can feel it now

Break my heart for the homeless boy
Make me move I can feel you near
Break my heart for the little girl
Make me move I can feel you here

God is doing something in Jeffreys
Healing water flow through Jeffreys
God is moving here in Jeffreys
And I can see it now, I can feel it now
Oh I can see you now, I can feel you now.

Awaken

Set my heart on fire
you are my desire
Lord I seek your face
make my life a blaze

Awake my soul
Never let go
Jesus you are the only thing
I'll ever want or need

Love come as a flood
come make me undone
Lord you send your rain
we will sing your praise

Awake my soul
Never let go
Jesus you are the only thing
I'll ever want or need

Awake my heart
you have my heart
Jesus you are the only thing
I'll ever want or need

Maybe

Its been twenty long years since he's seen you this way.
He came here today only so he could tell you he loves you.
How he loves you.

Its been seven hard months now since you've felt the same.

Now you point the gun thinking you're not to blame cause he hurt you.

How he loves you

So why is it maybe, why is it maybe now?
All he did was love you, why is it maybe now?
I hope that someday you will find out somehow.

And now you walk alone on these streets of heartbreak.

The people around they don't give they just take and they tell you

How he loves you
You fall to the ground, you can't take anymore.
Your heart crying out and he opens the door cause he wants you.

How he loves you

So why is it maybe, why is it maybe now?

All he did was love you, why is it maybe now?

I hope that someday you will find out somehow.

Love rain down on me, so I can see you clearly.
Love rain down on me, so I can see you clearly.
Lord I want to see, give me eyes to see.

Love rain down on me so I can see you.

So why is it maybe, why is it maybe now?

All he did was love you, why is it maybe now?

I hope that someday you will find out somehow.


So why is it maybe, why is it maybe now?
