Heaven Sent
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Like an angel
Heaven sent
You stand by me
Lighting up the dark so I can see
Like a soldier
In the name of love
You fight my battles with me
And you keep me safe from harm
You never judge me
When I’m wrong
Your faith in me
Will forever keep me strong
You’re the one I turn to for help
The one I call
When I bang my head against the wall
Chorus
Hand in hand we travel high and low
On a boat across the river of life’s flow
And we’re moving with acceptance
Cause we know
That we’re destined to agree
As long as we’re holding on
Holding on to our destiny
You’re my island on the ocean wide
A place to hide
It’s so good to know you’re on my side
Your steady arms around my waist
Lifting me up high
When I’m way down low
Free
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
I still love you
But I can't make you stay
If time is what you need
I won't be there to block your way
I still care for you
But it's out of my hand
See life has taught me this
Some birds travel far before they land
Safe is the road
Known by the heart
So stand by your word
Chorus
Free
Go on and be free
Free
Go on and be free
In my life you are the greatest love
With you I'd settle down
I wanted to
Buy a house and raise a family
In a quiet part of town
But the things I used to dream
Are all lost in space
This is a time of letting go
Knowing life will set the pace
Brave is he
Who can rise above his own need
Take a step back and say
Free
Go on and be free
Free
Go on and be free
Selfish are the hands
That crave for you
I promise I will be brave for you
Fearless is the voice inside my heart
Pleading set him free
Chorus
Free
Go on and be free
Free
Go on and be free
Free
Go on and be free
You're so free
Go on and be free
See I won't hold you back my love
Fly just like a bird
Free
I'm setting you free
You're free
Fly so high
Don't Keep Me Waiting
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
What will it take for my sun to rise
I’m ready to shine my way through these troubled skies
What will it take for my river to flow
When will the seeds I have sown start to grow
What will it take for my rose to unfold
When will the fire in me defeat the cold
Chorus
Take me to a brighter day
Shed your light upon my way
I need your wind beneath my wings
Cause I’m learning how to fly again
Give me your strength
Cause I’m learning how to trust again
Don’t keep me waiting
I need you to set me free
What will it take for the ice to melt
I’m longing to love and be loved
And it’s so heartfelt
What will it take for the thunder to ease
When will the storm in my heart shift into a breeze
If I reach out will you answer my call
I pray every night for a break that will change it all
Chorus
Take me to a brighter day
Shed your light upon my way
I need your wind beneath my wings
Cause I’m learning how to fly again
Give me your strength
Cause I’m learning how to trust again
Don’t keep me waiting
I need you to set me free
Chorus
Take me to a brighter day
Shed your light upon my way
I need your wind beneath my wings
Cause I’m learning how to fly again
Give me your strength
Cause I’m learning how to trust again
Don’t keep me waiting
I need you to set me free
Chorus
Take me to a brighter day
Shed your light upon my way
I need your wind beneath my wings
Cause I’m learning how to fly again
Give me your strength
Cause I’m learning how to trust again
Don’t keep me waiting
I need you to set me free
Eva
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
I was just a little girl
You passed away
And it shook my world
A wife and a mother of three
Words can not describe our misery
Mama you may think I didn’t care
You were fighting for your life
And I, I was never there
See I kept it all inside
I showed the world a happy face
But my heart was a hollow place
Chorus
You still linger in my heart
And although we had a bad start
I feel your presence every day
You’re still with me
Always beside me to lead the way
It must have been my insecurity
Cause all these years
I kept you distant from me
It’s like I’ve never known you
But it’s never too late
Love is kind
Always worth the wait
Chorus
Lead the way
It’s never too late
Mama you can still lead the way
For me
Bringing it Back
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Meet me on the corner
Where we said goodbye
Thirteen years ago
Take me back in time
Let’s open up to love
Once more
Ease on down the ocean drive
Where we said our vows
Sheltered by the night
We’ll say them once again
This time I think I’m ready to give in
Chorus
Dream away
To the old routine
Of a frozen scene
Far away
To a treasure found
Waiting down the line
Like a vintage wine
Bringing it back once again
Meet me in the harbour
Where we said our first hello
Little did we know
That what we set in motion
Would not ever
Leave us to let go
And so I
Chorus
Dream away
To the old routine
Of a frozen scene
Far away
To a treasure found
Waiting down the line
Like a vintage wine
Bringing it back once again
I never stopped loving you
Tell me how do I stop
When you’re so beautiful
Who Is This Man
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Who is this man
He’s always by my side
Trying real hard to keep up
While I run and hide
And I don’t even know
Why I can’t let go
Could it be now that love has found me
That I’m scared
Because I feel
Chorus
Lay your body down beside me
Into love I’ll let you guide me
Show me how to make my worries disappear
Hold me down and hold me close
I tell you what nobody knows
Underneath my resistance lies an ocean of love
Of love, of love
Who is this man
Will he catch me if I fall again
I really don’t know
But one thing is for sure
Of all the man I’ve had
I’d be with you once more
A beautiful song
That’s what you are
I keep repeating it
You are my shining star
Chorus
Keep giving me your love
One day
One day my soul will open up to you
Will he catch me if I fall again
If I fall
Loose Ends
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
You
You let me down
You kept me close
Only to let me drown
In a pool
A flood of tears
You left me hanging
On a loose end all these years
I played a part
You led me on
You wired me up
Til I was gone
You left me standing
With a ball in chain
The last known chapter baby
Of a sad refrain
Chorus
You faded fast and so did my dream
We flew like birds
Above the stream
Came right down
Crashed into the sun
A twist of fate
A bag of lies
A ton of steel
From a clear blue sky
It weighed me down
And when you helped me up
The trial was done
The race was run
Chorus
Broken Armor
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Hold me in your arms
Protect me with your strength
Don’t judge me for my broken armor
Believe in me
As I believe in you
The loneliest ones
Are those who resign
From what might have been
Their reason to shine
Follow me
I’m ready to take a leap
I’m rising up
Cause I wanna believe
Chorus
And so I pray
I pray for the light in me
Darling I
I pray
I pray for the strength
To grow within
I call on the girl who believed in love
Keep me safe and warm
So I can be full grown
Can’t you sense the longing in me
The luckiest ones
Are those who know love
I wanna belong
I wanna come home
Cover me
I need to know I’m safe inside my dream
And possibly
You’ll catch me when I’m ready to let you in
Chorus
And so I pray
I pray for the light in me
Darling I
I pray
I pray for the strength
To grow within
I call on the girl who knew how to love
If I Say Yes
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
If I Say yes
Will you lead the way for me
If I reach out my hand to you
Will you take it and see me through
My mind is killing me right now
I want to live life
But I’m not sure how
It’s a heavy, heavy load
A dark chapter of my life’s episode
Chorus
Never have I seen
Never have I heard
I’m not sure who you are
But I feel you in my heart
You’re gentle like a summer rain
The way you shower me with love
Let this be my lucky day
Leave me with a notion
That some day soon
My life is gonna be okay
Fill me with your grace
So I can stand up once again
And great the world with a happy face
I just want my life back
Cause I’ve been
Broken and restless
Ever since I got off track
Chorus
Never have I seen
Never have I heard
I’m not sure who you are
But I feel you in my heart
You’re gentle like a summer rain
The way you shower me with love
I look in the mirror
And I wonder
Who is this woman crying right before me
A part of me is still soar
I guess I better look behind that door
How could I fail to see
That the mirror on the inside reflects who I long to be
Who I long to be
Angel Lullaby
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Little girl
This is your way
I see heaven in your eyes
Despite your dismay
You’re still guided by the same force
You just don’t see it
Put your worried mind to rest and…
Believe
Little girl I tell you this
There’s nothing you can’t do
The stage has been set
Especially for you
You got helpers in the universe
Count the battles you’ve won
Trust that you were loved from the day you were born
And keep dreaming
Keep wanting more
Keep dreaming
You still got heaven in your eyes
I see heaven in your eyes
Junior
(Victoria Lagerstrom)
Say a prayer
For the man who laid his hands on you
Don’t let him own
The life that’s still ahead of you
Going down, down, down, down
Going down
Make a wish
For something better than this
You bear his sin
And that’s no easy win
Going down, down, down, down
Going down, down
Reckless child
I sense your fear
There’s a river of cry
For every unshed tear
Going down, down
Uuum
Going down, down, down, down
You’re going down
There’s no other way
You’re going down
Going down
Don’t let yourself go down
Just cry
Let your river of cry
Pave the way for goodbye
You don’t need to know why….
