You Loved Me 03:04
Verse 1 I don't know how I'll sleep tonight been listening to the rain outside but I can only hear the silence in me. And I can hardly see your face forgotten what it is to place my faith in something greater. Bridge Though you break me you remake me Come on take this heart and make it yours. Chorus You're everything I'd ever need You see the raging war in me You saw it all before I breathed You loved me And time will only ever show there's nothing here that you don't know You saw it all before I breathed You Loved me Verse 2 And I can only go so far cos everywhere I turn you are You saw me in the dark and called me lovely And all the things that bring me down You pick up and you turn around and show me all the things you know I could be Middle 8 Oh I'm hearing you now as the rains falling down All of heaven resounds You Love Me Every tear that I cried Gathered now way up high raining down just to show You Love Me

Saviour 03:51
All the lights are out and it's been dark outside for ages. All the leaves have fallen and there's silence on these pages. And I'm searching for a saviour I'm looking for a way O Lord won't you send me a Saviour Sun and moon may rise and fall while time and space is standing You may walk across my life but our world will not be touching And I'm searching for a saviour I'm looking for a way O Lord won't you send me a Saviour This is what I'm looking for This is what I need oh Skin that feels you creeping in a heart that feels the beat. This is where the searching ends and life begins to breath O Lord won't you send me a Saviour Call me from the waters edge and pull me from the mire Wipe away these spiders webs and breath again your fire Cos I'm searching for a saviour I'm looking for a way O Lord won't you send me a Saviour This is what I'm looking for This is what I need oh Skin that feels you creeping in a heart that feels the beat. This is where the searching ends and life begins to breath O Lord won't you send me a Saviour

Well I have this feeling within me Cant hold it or tell you for why But it starts with the blue of the sky that I knew That used to hang over me It spreads like a fire in my conscience It plays like a vision or dream And I stand like a child with my heart running wild And hope is all over me, yes hope is all over me Just when it seems that life tears at the seams There’s and window that lets in the sky Just when I feel that I cant carry on There’s the light there’s the light There’s not many things I can tell you There's too much I have left to learn But sometimes at night when the sky is alight This hope in me starts to burn, this hope in me starts to burn. Just when it seems that I’m losing my dreams There’s a fire that comes to my soul Just when my pulse beats a little too slow There you go, there you go. Sometimes I get lost on this journey I’m confused by the world as it stands But once in a while it’s just like heaven smiles And I’m in the makers hands, yes I’m in the makers hands I’m in the makers hands.

I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth I'm watching you so closely I'm forgetting to breath. You whirl in like a small town cyclone You're leaving me standing with nowhere to go And you say let's take our time it's what makes love better like a good case of wine. And you leave me out on the line well why waste your own heart if you can waste mine. I step out like a child on the ice and it feels kind of dangerous it feels kind of nice. Till the cracks start to form at my toes and everyone sees them and everyone knows. And you say babe it's not true The world needs a maker the way I need you. You don't mean what you say Do you think I don't notice the games that you play? Well I heard that a fool is a term for someone who keeps on and never quite learns. Well I could run like a fool after you But something keeps telling me that it just won't do. Oh you throw me away You tell me I'm worth the world But you just won't pay. Well, Oh baby it's true I'm One in a Million and I'm not for you

Walk with Me 03:12
Oh my love come walk with me I got things you need to see Oh you've got burdens, I've got time Won't you place your heart in these hands of mine. Oh Love, walk with me Be my heart, set my soul running free Oh love lead me now. And the cares of this life they don't matter somehow. Oh my Love come walk with me Be the way you want to be. Of you've got questions I've got rhymes Won't you place your heart in these hands of mine Cos you're all that my heart ever asked for. You're more that my soul ever needs. You're more than enough, Oh you're more than enough, You're more than enough for me.

29 Years 05:37
Well I didn't sit here for 29years Just to see you walk away walk away I didn't hold on because waiting was fun It took all if my strength to not turn and run. And I didn't be good just cos you said I should It took all of my might And I did it cos you were worth fighting for And I'd fight 29 more Bridge So let it all go. Let it all fall to pieces Chorus And I'll be right here so don't you fear I'll still be waiting for you. Love bleed me dry You'll still be mine And I'll still want you Verse 2 Well 29 years and all these ideas You were more than I dreamed You're worth all my tears. And you never demanded You kept taking chances You said let me be cos I'm best when I'm free. So let love return to the heart that deserves If you never let go then you'll never know You were worth fighting for And I'd fight 29 more Middle 8 So let me Love you. Sometimes Angels fall.

You've been sitting on my shoulder for a while You've been telling me lies. Oh and you, you've been talking and I never liked you tone Oh and I've been swallowing your lines. You've been running out of time There's a hurricane within me There's a force you can't define And I challenge you come get me Sleeping Giant I'm a force you shouldn't wake and you've been stealing treasure that you really shouldn't take. No I never want to go back there Cos I'm a sleeping giant and I've come alive again. No one even noticed I'd been standing all this time. Staring out the window at a world that should be mine Oh you tricked me into thinking That my time had been and gone Well I'm standing here to tell you now My friend you have been wrong There's a hurricane within me There's a force you can't define And I challenge you come get me Sleeping Giant I'm a force you shouldn't wake and you've been stealing treasure that you really shouldn't take. No I never want to go back there Cos I'm a sleeping giant and I've come alive again.

I See You 04:03
I got my life you got yours I got freedom, you've got wars Justice fights a cruel cause And I got my life, you got yours You got your life I got mine Silence is a cowards crime I got years, you're out of time You got your life I got mine But through this great divide Your eyes have met with mine And I know That as I see you The world has turned forever And I'm left holding onto you As light shines through the heart of my dialema is forever, I'll see you. I got my life, you got yours One to cross the others shores Left to live with truth enforced That youre in my life and I'm in yours I'm left holding onto you when light will fade and dark ensues I'm left holding onto you when passion leaves and I must choose I'm left holding onto you when others win and you must lose I'm left holding onto you

If you want to whisper then I'm ready to hear If you say, I will trust and obey If you must delay then I'll hang on today. And if you want to shout Lord So I hear your voice If you want to shake me to the core then I'll say I'd rather be shaken than stand in your way So here's what I pray I won't harden my heart Bring me down to my knees Not my will but yours please Take this crown from my head into your hands instead Take this rock from my chest I need heart made of flesh Let me hear you this day Bend my ear look my way If you whisper in breezes or cry from the hills I will wait if it pleases, I'll listen until You have gained my attention and until I know, I have heard from my maker Heard His voice, I will not let go And if you want to lead me Where I fear to tread, if you go Lord you know that I'll go If that's what you say There ain't no other way so here's what I pray I won't harden my heart

There is a Light I carry inside just for you my Love For one who has held my heart together so long. I will not let this new come to take all my love for you I will not lose this passion I carry for you. I will remember the years that you held me I will not turn from my true lovers gaze Though in this world I may find such distraction I will not turn away There is a place that never can be for another Love There is a light I carry inside for you. I will remember the years that you held me I will not turn from my true lovers gaze Though in this world I may find such distraction I will not turn away For it is you who has been my protector i know it's you who has watched over my life There is a place I never will give There's a space where only you'll live There is a Light I carry inside for you.
