Georgia 05:31
I can see the sun dip low in the sky All the colors dancing across her eyes As she leans into me and sighs For a moment the world is right (alive) Night falls and a loon call echoes out I swear that we can hear every sound Under star-strewn skies we lie, fingers entwined In the dark I still catch a glimpse of (her smile) A cool breeze rolls into shore like an icy shroud As a tiny, little cloud comes to rest above her mouth So I build a fire in the sand and we talk for hours on end It's like I have known her my whole life (collide) In your eyes In your smile You make me feel so alive

There sits a boy Away from all the crowds and the noise Quietly losing his poise And he sighs Shivering in the January sky Wistfully recalling a time A smile, a breath, and your eyes Fixed on mine, oh There will always be A place in my heart for you and me No matter what it is you think I'll always take my chances on you A while goes by Her smile hasn't faded from his mind He remembers, but life goes on And he considers: If he's weak, then God is so much bigger This is not the end Not a desolate shore but a bend Not a broken heart but one spent And refined in the fire Love, take me higher

Hello, snowflake You are on my mind All of the time When will I finally see you? Hello, snowflake Won't you take away my blues It's been so cold But not beautiful Hello, snowflake I saw you from my window And I ran outside To see if I could catch you Hello, snowflake Can you see how much it takes To stand still and wait? But now you're here And my frozen tears melt away...

All these lines in my hands Are from trying to understand What it means to live this life And tired eyes are from those nights We would lie underneath the stars Wondering who we really are I don't believe truth is easy It just makes more sense Sometimes you just stumble through Until it changes tense But that is what makes it us Makes it something glorious Beneath the rust and decay We discover why we were made Not for ourselves, not for us All of these times I've made a name Only to find it's been replaced Entropy can wear a man thin And all the times I've made it there Only to find that the empty air Of my victory was just as grim I don't believe truth is easy It just makes more sense Sometimes you just stumble through Until it changes tense But that is what makes it us, Makes it something glorious We were made for something great, Something greater than ourselves Something greater than this shell And can it be Humility Wasn't always a curse My need for something Other than me Is the beauty of my worth Not just because I need You But because You're all I need Oh my God, You're all this weary sinner needs You're the forest I could not see for the trees

Rising 05:09
I don't know where I belong but I want to I don't know where You come in But I've been fighting these demons for so long And my heart aches From a quiet insignificance it seems Why build it up if it will just break? I get so tired of the in-between Shattered hopes and broken dreams But what if hope is simply rising Like the moon on a cold winter's night From behind the silhouette of a city Fills the sky as your eyes fill with wonder Oh I can't see but I still believe Yea, I can't see but I still believe Lift your head, shake yourself from the dust and arise Grace upon grace gives you wings and bids you fly Hope in God, O my soul, hope in God Hope is rising all around you
