Light in the Dark

Let it be
More than we’ve dared to see
A vision ever green
A harbour for the dream
Chorus
Our journey’s just begun
Birds flying high with us
Just in time for the summer sun
To pour from our hearts
A light in the dark
Dusk to night
The moon is our witness here
Breaking through
The cage of our fear
Chorus
Our journey’s just begun
Birds flying high with us
Just in time for the summer sun
To pour from our hearts
Let it come
Surrender to the change
The stars will show
The next step to take
Chorus
Our journey’s just begun
Birds flying high with us
Just in time for the summer sun
To pour from our hearts
A light in the dark
Life Through Death

When all is said
The need to know
The spinning wheel
Loosing control
The time has changed
From the life you led
So keep those ghosts
From your lover’s bed
Love will grow
From it’s own seed
When it calls
I will heed
Let it sink as deep as you fall
Courage take you through
The ancient wall
That kept you in
From the healing breath
Come to life through death
Chorus
Come to life through death
Through the water
And the fire we burn
More than common sense
Innocent return
Waited long by the banks of the sea
In her the song
You always longed to sing
Jump on in
I will catch your fall
We find within
The greatest love
Chorus
Come to life through death
Through the water
And the fire we burn
More than common sense
Innocent return
Forgiven

When all is said
The need to know
The spinning wheel
Loosing control
The time has changed
From the life you led
So keep those ghosts
From your lover’s bed
Love will grow
From it’s own seed
When it calls
I will heed
Let it sink as deep as you fall
Courage take you through
The ancient wall
That kept you in
From the healing breath
Come to life through death
Chorus
Come to life through death
Through the water
And the fire we burn
More than common sense
Innocent return
Waited long by the banks of the sea
In her the song
You always longed to sing
Jump on in
I will catch your fall
We find within
The greatest love
Chorus
Come to life through death
Through the water
And the fire we burn
More than common sense
Innocent return
Play

You and I
Two falling leaves
We change too much to hold on to things
Flying fast when your fires free
Yeah we sang so many sad songs
Goodbyes that last a life long
Learning to release
Chorus
There’s no time it takes to know me
Worry as you may
Every road leads to the same peace
Play and watch it fall away
Winter wind with your icy stay
I walk these streets of the memory
Feel her open up
Where the mask is cracked
The voice still whispers
For those who long to hear her
Chorus
There’s no time it takes to know me
Worry as you may
Every road leads to the same peace
Play and watch it fall
Play yeah it’s a play and I’m here to watch it all
Play and watch it fall away
Would You

Would you mind
If I sing you a love song
Though it seems that the hour grows dim
In the middle of all of our struggle
The flame within
My dear friend
Now your burden seems heavy
Would you mind if I lighten your load
All the good times and hard times were written
Long ago
Chorus
I see us rising higher than the mountains
I see us leave the past behind
Icy hearts that melt into waters
Love will take us with an open mind
So you know
That I always am with you
Though we’re dreaming real love never dies
I will share with you all I imagine
The story of our lives
Chorus
I see us rising higher than the mountains
I see us leave the past behind
Icy hearts that melt into waters
Love will take us with an open mind
Gracefully
Willingly
Courageously
Love will take us with an open mind
Break Away


Gold in hand, pining me
Weep the ice is melting
Starry land, lost but free
Lone man, river running
All we’ve lost to seek relief
Nature hold my body
I once sought the highest things
When she clearly saw me
Chorus
Holy night
Spent in wonder
Stealing time from the day
Fear the spell
I was under
That kept my dreaming soul contained
And I will break away
Here lies the part of me
That never turned to see
All of the blessings life bestowed
Wrap your arms around
The pain that brought you down
And let compassion take you home
Chorus
Holy night
Spent in wonder
Stealing time from the day
Fear the spell
I was under
That kept my dreaming soul contained
And I will break away
Keep Walking

Here it is
The moment you’ve been waiting for
Can you see
The open door
Don’t hold back
The motion that comes with the tide
Let it crack
The well that dried
His arms wide open
Could you hold him
Your heart’s been broken
It’s alright just keep walking
Chorus
Keep walking
For the sake of love
Keep walking
Keep walking
Into the light
It will find you
Will not blind you
It’s all you ever were
Shield not your heart
Let him share with you both good and bad
Tear not apart
What you add
His arms wide open
Could you hold him
Your heart’s been broken
It’s alright just keep walking
Chorus
Keep walking
For the sake of love
Keep walking
Keep walking
Into the light
It will find you
Will not blind you
It’s all you ever were
Into the light
The Height and the Depth

I have tried
Running from the pain
But the chill of her refrain
Sent me to my knees
Till I finally hear the pleas
“Still my child, be still”
Sulking ice
But water flows beneath
In the sway I grew
On the cold and open sea
In the cradle of the moon
Chorus
The height and the depth
The peak and the sea
One becomes less
Together we’re free
The well and the hand
That pulls me from grief
The pain and the joy
And the place where they meet
Like a shadow never seen
But it all that you sew
I finally start to see
The meaning of the road
Till the moment that the fall
Takes my very soul
Chorus
The height and the depth
The peak and the sea
One becomes less
Together we’re free
The well and the hand
That pulls me from grief
The pain and the joy
And the peace where they meet

Children of Zion
Head on home
Follow the star
You may call your own
Long before you knew
Heaven spoke of two
Chorus
Loveliness defines
The road that you’ve been given
Angel voices chime
Sing you to completion
This is your time
Voices of mercy
Call for retreat
There’ll be no more worries
To throw you off your feet
Long before you knew
Heaven spoke of two
Chorus
Loveliness defines
The road that you’ve been given
Angel voices chime
Sing you to completion
This is your time
Dark Veil

Dark veil, cold rain
Fall down on my knees
Here my hearts pain flows free
Soft hands bring in
Fall – the place in me
A clear remembering of peace
Two within can hold
What one could never know
Warm breath, eyes change
Wash the smoke in me
Dawn cast shadows through the trees
Where I wander
Grey sky wanders, light will follow
Though tomorrow – never seen
Older than the road
Joy released from stone
The Same Heart

I never knew that love could come so quick
Today you crossed the ocean in me
Sentiment it lingers on your lips
And a sense of sweet devotion quickly
Moves - on and on
What now remains old enough to feel the earth move
Common place to begin
and I know this love won't come again
Living you - the record
slowly spins
Winter nights grown long with us two
The holy note she sang
that opened up my wings
and led my vision to begin
Here I'm told that this
Love will grow
What now remains old enough to feel the earth move
Common place to begin
and I know this love has come
I know this love,
Will now remain
Old enough to feel the earth move
Common grace ~ we are art
And I know we sing
with the same heart
