all things are possible with god 03:21
lyrics
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD I wake up in the morning, see the same old sky The clouds are forming, I know not why The mailman comes and drops it in the slot It might take me forever to realize what I’ve got All things are possible with God It’s not a dream All things are possible with God It’s not a dream I hear my children comin’, runnin’ up the stairs I don’t know their secrets, their hidden fears and cares They’re headin’ out the door into the great wide I don’t know what they’ll meet up with, or with what they’ll collide All things are possible with God It’s not a dream All things are possible with God It’s not a dream The night is comin’ on, don’t know where it’s comin’ from The streetlights all turn on, I hear them start to hum There’s people out there walkin’ in the night Lookin’ for a window with a light All things are possible with God It’s not a dream All things are possible with God It’s not a dream

what a human is for 03:16

WHAT A HUMAN IS FOR I don’t wanna hear about it anymore I keep tellin’ you I got enough, you keep tryin’ to give me more Lessons on new ways of takin’ it on the chin You’re workin’ on my very last nerve, my very last nerve’s wearin’ thin But I am only human, not a proxy in this war I am only human, born to live, cry and die And find out what a human is for All the people that I know are underneath a load In cubicle situations or strung out along the road Trading the viewpoint of the eagle where they could see it all For the perspective of a keyhole in a lavatory stall But I am only human, not a proxy in this war I am only human, born to live, cry and die And find out what a human is for Now the gears are bearing down as the walls begin to shake The whole structure is collapsing as the earth begins to quake The ceiling falls away that had obscured the sky The people step out from the darkness, they begin to cry – But I am only human, not a proxy in this war I am only human, born to live, cry and die And find out what a human is for

if only you would fall 04:02
lyrics

IF ONLY YOU WOULD FALL When you have no words And every breath is like a curse You hear the approaching hearse And you’re calling for the nurse Out upon life’s bleakest shore Where you can’t lose any more You can rule over it all, you can even hear Jesus call If only you would fall So concerned with how you come across You always have a smile, how much does that smile cost? If only you would bend Maybe there would be a friend You could help each other mend, Share the greatest gift of all If only you would fall Your black crow cries But it just as often dies You’ve been so long hypnotized That you’re hard to recognize Now that everything is gone There’s no act you need to put on You can have it all, Cinderella at the ball If only you would fall Now that all is said and done It’s time to see what can be won By letting go instead of trying to hold on The last thing that you wanna do Could be what release you You can dissolve the wall It could be a free for all If only you would fall

ain't gonna go down with your ship, mate 02:43
lyrics

AIN’T GONNA GO DOWN WITH YOUR SHIP, MATE He’s rude and crude and loud, no-one has less reason to be proud He’s fillin’ up all the air and shovin’ me into the crapper He says “Come and work for me, you can be my worker bee – Make me rich and I’ll discard you like a wrapper.” But I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait ‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate The devil comes and says to me, in my time of misery “You look tired, honey baby, do you need a rest? Deny the God who gives you life, I’ll save you from all pain and strife Become another stressed-out robot like the rest.” But I said I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait ‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate Jared Kushner met the law, then he saw his dad-in-law Who said “Did you tell them anything, boy, did you squeal?” Jared said “A young man like me’s got no place in a penitentiary So I’m sendin’ you there instead, you rotten heel.” I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait ‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate

you can walk on water 03:32

YOU CAN WALK ON WATER You can walk on water And leave the land behind Across the hulls of all shipwrecks Your feet can find You can talk to people You can’t even see You can walk on water If only for a moment In that moment you are free You can speak in languages That you’ve never known To dispel the illusion That you’ve ever been alone Nothing that you need to pardon Or even to atone You can walk on water If only for a moment In that moment you are known Reachin’ out your hand as you begin to sink Starin’ straight into the sun as you wait for it to blink You can walk on water Even if it’s but a drop Or a flood that breaks the levee And embarrasses a mop Passing through a doorway That you once thought was a grave You can walk on water If only for a moment In that moment you are saved You can walk on water To the coast of Africa To the port of Monte Christo To the shores of Shangri-La Working from a blueprint By an otherworldly hand You can walk on water If only for a moment In that moment you can stand

lifelines 04:44
lyrics

LIFELINES I’ve been to the place where the flowers don’t grow Where the trees cast no shade, where the rivers don’t flow Where the bounty lies spoiled and wasted on the earth And death is a miracle, just like your birth On the threshold of a doorway to another life On the head of a pin, on the edge of a knife On the toss of a coin, on the turning of a card Where your love goes on forever but your fear don’t get far When your thoughts are a forest and your feelings are snow Your last chance expired some time ago All earthly propositions add up to nil Your coffers must be emptied before they are filled Phantasmal spirits that you kind of recognize Forming and re-forming before your eyes Like the echo of a voice that resounds through the years Too joyful for laughter, too painful for tears The edges are sharpened, the road is rough-hewn You’re greeted by animals you’ve never known Silhouettes in the mist, shadows on the plain Reflections of life are all that remain At the border where they confiscate all that will rot There’s nothing you own, nothing you’ve got Except this moment like a bird that flutters and flits And disappears in the moment you’re conscious of it The force of the hands bidding you back is so strong The battle is met but for who knows how long? How many struggles went on through the night And left you fighting with nothing in the dawn’s early light? The canyon of clouds by the setting sun is cleaved Like a soul reaching out for what it believes Like the merciless night strikes the light from the sky Leaving only the outlines of the earth to go by So many ghosts lining up to haunt you So many graves for you to fall into Down the path faint and faded, through the smoke and the dust Not easy to follow but follow you must
