AWAKE
You never really knew me
You don’t know what’s deep inside
Just so you know, I’ll never be like you
I’ll take what God has made me
I’m not an empty shell
I’m finally awake
I feel alive today
I feel everything
It’s all so clear to me
How many times have I hated who I was
Lost sight of what defines me
because of airbrushed magazines?
But now I’ve come to cherish who I am
I’m sick and tired of taking a life that wasn’t mine
I’m alive
It’s all so clear to me
I’m alive,I’m alive
It’s all so clear to me
And I hope they see
LEARNING TO FALL
That I should hold on tight to Jesus.
But I took this road so far from home,
And distance came between us.
When I walked away,
I knew one day,
I'd need Your grace.
So now you'll find me on my knees, surrendering,
Cause I know that I'm really not so strong.
And now, I'm done fighting for control,
Oh, you can have this life that I've been holding for so long.
I'm learning to fall.Let my world crumble.
You ran so fast to rescue me,
While I was barely breathing.
You picked me up,
You touched my face,
And I began to see more clearly.
Though I'm such a disgrace,
You still forgave.
Your love remains.
So now you'll find me on my knees, surrendering,
Cause I know that I'm really not so strong.
And now, I'm done fighting for control,
Oh, you can have this life that I've been holding for so long.
I'm learning to fall.Let my world crumble.
Take me as an offering.
I surrender everything.
No more living without You.
SO IN LOVE
So many times I’ve fallen
So many ways I’ve failed you
So many times I’ve stepped out on my own
I know I’m undeserving
But I feel you are preserving
The only good that I have shown
The only word that I can bring
Are these very words
that i say to you now
Cause I am so in love with you
There’s nothing else I choose
You’ve stolen my heart
Yes, I’m all for You
I know you’ll never let me go
Even though you know my frailties
Every single thing about me
You show the greatest love that’s known
The only word that I can bring
Are these very words say to you now
I am so in love with you
There’s nothing else I choose
You’ve stolen my heart
Yes, I’m all for you now
Time and time again you show
The depth and love that you bestow
I never fully understand
It’s too great for me to know
But I always try to bring you everything
There’s nothing else I choose
You’ve stolen my heart
Yes, I’m all for you now
YOU WILL SOAR
If I had just one thing to say
Before my last breath fades away.
Keep your head way up in the clouds
And never let them get you down!
Never let them get you down!
Keep hoping and dreaming
and you will soar!
With a little faith and love.
You will soar!
If I had just two words to say,
To explain my life away.
I could say ups and downs,
Because, I always kept my defense down.
Always kept my defense down!
I wish I could take you away
To a place of mystery
We will travel there on sands of time
To listen...to fairy tales
We will listen to fairy tales
We will listen, listen, listen
Keep hoping and dreaming
and you...will soar
With a little faith and Love.
You will soar!
You will soar!
You will soar!

HEART AND MIND
My mind isn't quite sure
what is has bargained for.
But my heart is in time with
with the consistent beat.
This dream is sneaking up on me
no matter how collected I seem to be.
Is anybody ever truly complete?
Or are the better ones just better at believing?
So I'll go and say you're with me.
I know it's just the beginning.
At times I feel cold and exposed under a microscope
but it has never much better to live.
It doesn't matter if all my friends latch on to this.
There's only one acceptance that's not later dismissed.
My mind isn't quite sure
what is has bargained for.
But my heart is in time with
with the consistent beat of yours.
I'm not looking to music to complete me.
I'm not looking for a new philosophy.
I'm not waiting for somebody to swoon me.
I'm just searching for a better way into your love.
Can you feel the only eyes that see inside?
Can you feel anything anymore?
