Set Me Free
03:14
|

I'm a pilgrim
in a foreign land
I'm an outcast
on my own native sand
I'm alive
in a world of death
the voices all around whisper
there ain't nothing left
set me free
set me free
prison walls and concrete halls
got no room to breathe
set me free
Lord, I believe you
help my unbelief
I'm a soldier
in a forgotten war
but peace is a lie to the enemy spies
outside my front door
I'm a fighter
who ain't got much fight left
carry a photo of the wife and kids
so I don't forget
creeping up the walls and into my bed
spinning little plates inside of my head
holding to the light the words that were said and putting them in their place

Don't Lose Heart
03:54
|

I went walking through the mountains, taking photos for you, girls
I stumbled on a Coke can, we're not worthy of this world
cigarettes and wrappers scatter on the ancient stone
and the sky as clear as your eyes on the day that you were born
this place is broken, and you're going to find out
and it's going to hurt so bad
but don't try to stop it
for where you are human you will be healed at last
don't lose heart
don't lose heart
don't surrender to the fear
we're so glad you're here
darling, don't lose heart
hate the lies but not the liar
watch the flame but fear no fire
you'll find only mercy in the eyes above
you are strong, you are brave, you are lovely, darling, trust me
don't settle and don't give up on love
No. we've got to fight the easy life
there's too much going on out there to stay wrapped up inside
find the things you care about and go on a crusade
clean your little corner up and see what starts to change

Soul on Fire
03:53
|
|||
it was still on the lake in a warm July
I sat alone and watched the stars
the Spirit whispered "Close your eyes"
and I knew I was in the arms
of a soul on fire
set my soul on fire
hmm
I'm a selfish man and I've always been
but I found myself in a family
those sweet girls need more than I can give
and when I try I find the best of me
cause their eyes are wide
they set my soul on fire
and keep my aim true
who we are is who we love
and when I'm gone
it's here in my songs
that the soul admires
the soul on fire
burning in you
feelings come and feelings go
a gulf stream river in an ocean
what God has joined let no man separate
the promise carries the emotion
and you, you know how you do
the beauty in you, you set my soul on fire
you, only you, nobody but you

Leave It While I Love It
05:18
|
|||
it's just a short run, five days or so
I'll be back here before you know
time goes flying when I'm on the road
at least for me
but I see the weight it puts on us
the constant battle to readjust
keeps the lights on, but what's the cost
to chase a dream?
so I'm coming home tonight
I have made up my mind
I'm going to leave it while I love it
that's the way
fifteen years as the next big thing
so many rounds in the same old ring
never losing doesn't mean we win
we just press on
and I've been to Lincoln, London and Bombay
met my heroes and shared the stage
made the greatest friends a man could have
and oh, the songs...
but I'm going home tonight
I have made up my mind
I'm going to leave it while I love it
that's the way
cause if there's a place where you're known
and you can be there for the ones you love
when they need you, it's time for me to
be coming home to stay
I'm going to leave it while I love it
I'll be coming home today

Just Be
04:31
|
|||
put down the phone
turn off the screen
we won't be here forever
so just look at me
the devil's in
the zeroes and the ones
when they keep you from
the ones you want to love
we're only here for a moment
so let's be alive, let's be open
feel the pain, feel the hope in
in that old familiar touch of the love we're growing
just be
just be
it's said that God
speaks in silence
