The Dreamlife Of Angels Lyrics
We Are A Beginning
May our standing ask permission
To be a kind of benediction
To a love we know is bigger than ourselves
The spirit and your witness
Is bearing light upon our weakness
Giving weight to what we cannot see alone
We come with what we are
We come with what we?ve done
We come with what we are
We are a beginning
In faith we look to Comfort
She is laying her old hands upon our souls as we discover
We are waking more to hope
Your committed celebration
Is part of our salvation
Holding on to what we know we cannot hold alone
Because we are not that strong
Sometimes afraid of what we?ve done
We are not that strong
But we are a beginning
We are a beginning
Pray for the bravery
To act upon the kindness of forgiveness
And the mystery of clarity sometimes
Mercy is grateful to go under all our failures
Thanks be to Christ for severity
That?s kissed us on our cheeks
May our standing ask permission
To be a kind of benediction
To a love we know is bigger than ourselves
Because we are not that strong
Most times afraid of what we?ve done
Oh we are not that strong
But we are a beginning
We are a beginning
We are a beginning
We are a beginning
Girl On Fire
we’re coming to a standstill
you think you’re magic with your strong will
but this is love and not justice
he’s hurting everything he touches
you cannot carry what he clutches
he needs a mother and confession
and he does not tell you you are precious
well how about some love and clarity
a sense that you are family
I’d like to help but you’re on fire
how about some peace and honesty
some hard-core hope and clarity
you are a precious girl on fire
we’re coming to a standstill
i think you’re magic with your strong will
but this is love and not justice
he’s hurting everything he touches
you cannot carry what he clutches
he needs a father and some healing
and he forgets his own words
well how about some love and charity
a sense that you are family
you are a precious girl on fire
how about respect and dignity
some hard-core hope and clarity
you are a precious girl on fire
and there is so much in forgiveness
but he is sticking with his business
how about some love and charity
a sense that you are family
you are a precious girl on fire
you are a careful mystery
not someone’s cheap commodity
you are a precious girl on fire
The Valley
When it seems that darkness covers you
In the valley
I?ll pray the kingdom comes soon
When daylight is a distant memory
In the valley
I?ll pray that Jesus comes soon
In the valley
In the valley
Try not to be afraid for long if you can help it
In the valley
I?ll send you a picture of my little girl
And like a flower you can burst forth smiling
Even in the valley
Still, I?ll pray that Jesus comes soon
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley Ah Ah Ah Ah
When it seems that you have nothing left to offer but your sorrow
Remember where there is grace there is no shame
And as it happens light has nowhere else to happen but
The valley
And maybe something?s trying to break through
Love Is Breathing
life’s come out from inside
all caught up in a brand new smile
alive
love’s come out from inside
carefully willingly
and you are alive so alive
love is breathing like a child come out
life suspended in the gravity of care
never ending does the child come out
hope’s come out from inside
and we are all caught up
trying to hide
but you are alive more alive
love is breathing like a child come out
life suspended in the gravity of care
never ending does the child come out
you’re more alive when you try
growing down, enter the kingdom!, child
move the buildings to the fire
and color our most desperate cries with ease, please, child
Love is breathing like a tree on fire
consuming violent and tender life
love is breathing…alive…breathing
Give A Little Bit
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I’ll give a little bit
I’ll give a little of my love to you
There’s so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care
I’ll give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh take his hand
You’ll be surprised
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I’ll give a little bit of my life for you
Now’s the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we’re on our way back home
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my love to you
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I’ll give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my love to you
Midnight
The sun went down that’s when she started seeing things
Midnight souls with top hat cloaks and diamond rings
Undertaker suitors staring like they knew her
She was not impressed
She opened up the window where she met the wind
Time and time again she is her closest friend
Coming and going the wind she brushed her forehead
She was not afraid
In the desert of the heart let the healing waters start
In the doubting place of dark she is holding
Walking on a sidewalk alter time unkept
She is trying to remember what somebody said
Her arms long forward even when the longing is already in her arms
In the desert of the heart let the healing waters start
In the doubting place of dark she is holding
Holding
Hit And Run
i got caught up in my own right
i didn’t notice all the search lights
and getting caught up in my own right
i think i killed a man
i was on my way…i was on my way
should i stop or should i stay
i didn’t know him anyway
should i see if he’s okay
i got caught up in my own sight
i didn’t notice all the search lights
and getting caught up in my own sight
i think i could lose my soul
i was on my way…i was on my way
should i stop or should i stay
i didn’t know him anyway
should i see if he’s okay
does he even have a name
i got caught up in my own rights
She Stumbles Through The Door
She looks over her shoulder with a half specific glare
As if it were the past
An interception of intentions from a once familiar path
A promise broken in half
On the pages of a memo are picturesque cliches she once called providence
Fragments of Picasso with running lines undone
That wrecked her confidence
Is there any sense why she let go
It was what she thought was right
Through all the gloom and might of living in between
And it was like she said
A chance to learn instead
Of staying in the lines and never knowing why
She stumbles through the door
Were the angels fighting demons in the corner of her room
Or was it happenstance
That she would catch a glimpse of loving safety more than life
A faithless circumstance
So she let go
It was what she thought was right
Through all the gloom and might of living in between
And it was like she said
A chance to learn instead
Of staying in the lines and never knowing why
She stumbles through the door
Now her reasoning is theory living out a grand crusade
Of greater magnitude
And the consequence of failure is a possibility
But will it break the truth
Oh she won?t know
Until she lets go
And it what she thought was right
through all the gloom and might of living in between
And it was like she said
a chance to learn instead
Of staying in the lines and never knowing why
She stumbles through the door
She stumbles through the door
She stumbles through the door
Hope
We?ll be taking off our clothes to sing
We?ll be wearing our own skin
We?ll be taking off a whole lot more
Just so we can sing
Just so we can sing
Hope is coming out tonight
Knocking at the door
You?ve got to let that stranger in
Looking at your soul
Looking at your soul
A peeling and a shedding mind
Changing what we are worth
Blessed are the meek somehow
Taking in the earth
They are taking in the earth
And all this talk of love and peace
And wanting something true
Well peace can cut the rope sometimes
That?s holding on to me and you
That?s holding on to me and you
Hope is coming out tonight
Knocking at the door
You?ve got to let that stranger in
Looking at your soul
Looking at your soul
No sentimental bags of gold
To occupy the hurt
It?s knowing what the demons sold
When falling to the earth
When falling to the earth
Now I am stretching out across the land
Trying my best to understand
While fear is barking like a dog
But I am holding out my hand
Still holding out my hand
Hope is coming out tonight
Knocking at the door
You?ve got to let that stranger in
Looking at your soul
Looking at your soul
Home
I?d like to sleep for one more hour or two
Hour or two
You look like dad when he slept really hard
Through everything
Now everything?s gold and like Christmas
Home
This all feels so familiar
Home
Are we really getting older
Home
I wish I could remember
That little hill seemed like a mountain then
We were shorter then
And we?d wonder just how it was going to be
When here we are
And it?s not too bad
Quite good in fact
We are
Home
You are like poetry and feathers
Home
The way you button up your sweater
Home
The one you chose for colder weather
Home
This all feels so familiar
Home
Are we really getting older
Home
I wish I could remember everything cool
I?d like to sleep for one more hour or two
Hour or two
