Shine
Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look and tell me, what will I find, what will I find?
Lay me on the ground and fly me in the sky
Show me where to look and tell me, what will I find, what will I find?
Yeah

Whoa, Heaven, let your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let your light shine down
Whoa, Heaven, let your light shine down

Love is in the water, love is in the air
Show me where to look, tell me, will love be there, will love be there?
Teach me how to speak and teach me how to share
Teach me where to go, tell me, will love be there, will love be there?
Yeah

I got my main shine
Goodnight, Good Guy
Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
That I had let slip away
Then, it comes back and rides my shoulders
And it burdens me, every new day
Well, I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
And try to figure out how to do without, without you
Who's gonna straighten me up when I'm leaning?
Who's gonna soothe my heart when it's burning?
Who's gonna be the one to tell me everything's alright
Well, goodnight, good guy
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
I can only stay so strong
Well, I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
Who's finding difficult to just let go, let go
Who's gonna straighten me up when I'm leaning?
Who's gonna soothe my heart when it's burning?
Who's gonna be the one to tell me everything's alright
Well, goodnight, good guy
Well, I'm gonna let you sleep
I'll let you fade off in the night, yeah
I pray the Lord to keep
I pray the Lord to hold you tight, goodnight
Who's gonna straighten me up when I'm leaning?
Who's gonna soothe my heart when it's burning?
Who's gonna be the one to tell me everything's alright
Well, goodnight, good guy
Who's gonna straighten me up when I'm leaving?
Who's gonna soothe my heart when it, when it, when it's burning?
Who's gonna be the one to tell me everything, everything's alright
Well, goodnight, good guy
Wasting Time
Something's going wrong inside of you
Burdens bearing down and seeping through
Well, I don't wanna bleed anymore for you
And I don't wanna breathe any hatred, too
Watching, while your world just floats around
Now, you want to move, 'cause it's crashing down
Well, I don't wanna sing you guarantees
And I don't wanna cling to our used-to-be's
So take your heart, just take your soul
Just get yourself on outta here
Just take your hate, just take your pain
Just get yourself on out of here
Wasting time, time, that's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time, time, I don't see what you think I see
Wasting time, time, that's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time, time, I don't want what you think I need
Wasting time, time, that's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time, time, I don't see what you think I see
Wasting time, time, that's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time, time, I don't want what you think I need
Sister Don't Cry
Overseas, through the air
Touched your heart down with care
All the thoughts left behind
Soon will catch you in time
Well, if I could, you know that
I would let salvation reign on you
So, won't you push away
All this pain that you've been through, I say
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
While the scenes shuffle 'round
Let your world anchor down
Pull your heart from your sleeve
You first react, then believe
Well, you won't always get the thunder
To warn you of storms ahead
So bury all this pain
And get on with your life again, I say
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
Conquer some serenity
Lay yourself in fields of poetry
Close your eyes to all you see
Lay your weary head here with me, oh, lay down
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
Sister, don't cry
Sister, don't cry no more
Sister, don't cry anymore
Sister, don't cry anymore
Sister, don't cry anymore
Love Lifted Me
Wait just a second, now
Love's easier lost than it's found
So learn, baby, learn
It's time to up and turn the other way
Yeah, peace, baby, peace
It's past time to release and fly away
Once, I was down and couldn't see
Then love lifted me
Yeah, love, it was love
I believe that love lifted me
Hush, not another sound
Time to move up to higher ground
And now, time, baby, time
No longer's on our side, so make a way
To ride, baby, ride
Well then, pull me upon high and fly away
Once, I was down and couldn't see
Then love lifted me
Yeah, love, it was love
I believe that love lifted me
Don't push me, don't shove me
Don't make me go down in flames
Pull me to safety and help me
To feel no more pain
Come on, just lift me up
Just lift me up
Just lift me up
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
Yeah, once, I was down and couldn't see (love lifted me)
Then love lifted me
Yeah, love, it was love (love lifted me)
I believe that love lifted me
Yeah, once, I was down and couldn't see (love lifted me)
Then love lifted me
Yeah, love, it was love (love lifted me)
I believe that love lifted me
Yeah, once, I was down and couldn't see (love lifted me)
Then love lifted me
Yeah, love, it was love...
In A Moment
Well, the walls came up as the thoughts went down
To the hush of disparity
I'm sure we know the problem lies
With some insecurities
But we'll never see eye to eye
As long as our tongues are tied
And we'll never be seen as one
Until we find love
In a moment, it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment, it could happen
We could forgive and be happy
Well, it's a shame our world responds to life
As a puzzle in disguise
I wish our course would lead us towards
The peace and loving kind
But we'll never walk hand in hand
Until we let old wounds mend
And we'll never sing songs as one
Until we find love
In a moment, it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment, it could happen
We could forgive and be happy
In a moment, some wisdom could be learned
In a moment, new voices could be heard
In a moment, we could make heads turn
In a moment, you know, in a moment, you know, in a moment, we could change
In a moment, it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment, it could happen
We could forgive and be happy
In a moment, it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment, it could happen
We could forgive and be happy
In a moment
We could change
In a moment
We could change
In a moment
We could change
In a moment
We could change
Heaven's Already Here
Wake up to a new morning
Got my babe by my side
And I won't yield to new warnings
'Cause I got my peace of mind
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here
No more living in darkness
Now, that love lights my way
I don't need any new changes
To make me love today
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here
And who could bring me Heaven
When Heaven's already here

Breathe
Down by the sea
I think I saw
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Our love dissolve
So plant a little seed, soon, it starts growing
Shed a little light, then you'll be glowing
Hear a little tune, then you'll start singing
Give a little love, then love'll start breathing
Out by the bay
I long to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A man of peace

Shed a little light, then you'll be glowing
Hear a little tune, then you'll start singing

Burning that trail to the promised land

Burning Bridges
Been thinking a lot about my ways
I guess I'm trying, baby
Been searching out a way to say
I guess I'm sorry, baby
This time, I'll give all to you
It's time I prove something to you
So, I'll lift you up and hold you near
I'll warm your heart and calm you fears
See, I don't wanna lose this love I found
So, I'll burn my bridges, burn them down
Been hurting a lot without you here
I guess I need you, baby
Been sleeping upon a bed of tears
I guess I miss you, baby
This time, I'll give all to you
It's time I prove something to you
So, I'll lift you up and hold you near
I'll warm your heart and calm you fears
See, I don't wanna lose this love I found
So, I'll burn my bridges, burn them
Take all my world and shake it
Take my dear heart and embrace it
Take what I say and listen
My world's changing, changing for you
Yeah
So, I'll lift you up and hold you near
I'll warm your heart and calm you fears
See, I don't wanna lose this love I found
So, I'll burn my bridges, burn them down
I'll lift you up and hold you near
I'll warm your heart and calm you fears
See, I don't wanna lose this love I found
So, I'll burn my bridges, burn them down
All
Watch my world spin 'round, it stops for you
But I'll give you Heaven for a view
I set my sights on high, my aim is true
I'd walk on water, just for you
Yeah, all is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you
Come lay your troubles down, rest here with me
My kingdom is all yours to receive
Yeah, all is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you
Well, I'll push the clouds away
So you can have sunshine, la la la la la
And I'll give you anything that your heart desires (your heart desires)
Yeah, all is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you
Yeah, all is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you
