How Far 03:10
lyrics

How far is far enough to get away from it all Maybe if I bought a boat I’d know I’d set a course for anywhere and watch the curtain fall On every bad excuse I had to go But if I sail far enough Would I end up right back on this rocky shore How far, how far, how far How far would I have to go Because I’d buy every ticket I could find to get me there Take every train or plane or broken road But every destination I find, takes me unaware Like the letter that I didn’t know you wrote But if I sail far enough Would I end up right back on this rocky shore How far, how far, how far How far would I have to go It’s the same star in every sunrise Different constellations but the same moon every night It’s a new sea, but the same tide And I’m still drifting, waiting for the ending of the line How far, how far, how far How far would I have to go How far, how far, how far How far would I have to go

Faith in You 03:54

I don’t think a lot of things will turn out the way we want them to I don’t always hold a lot of hope for what we are living through Call me pessimistic and you might not be wrong But if you call me, faithless, I am not that strong I’ve got faith I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in you When everything around feels sad and broken, you’re my shooting star I see your smile and I can’t help but think that maybe heaven’s not that far I’m sorry I know that’s not fair to do But when I’ve lost my way, I’ll find my way to you I’ve got faith I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in you Hold my hand so I don’t float away Say my name so I won’t be afraid I’ve got faith I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in you I’ve got faith I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in you

Dear God 03:43
lyrics

Dear God, it’s been a while since I called you And the world wasn’t falling apart I wish that I could smile the way I used to And my chest didn’t carry a broken heart I will go down this winding road I will follow where you’re leading But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold Does it mean I’ve stopped believing Dear God, I always try to do the right thing Always try to do the things I should I’ve spent my life to show the world you’re loving But I’m not sure it’s doing any good I will go down this winding road I will follow where you’re leading But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold Does it mean I’ve stopped believing Dear God, I think that you can hear me Dear God, there’s so much I want to tell you Dear God, the world you love needs healing Dear God, and I could use some too I will go down this winding road I will follow where you’re leading But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold Does it mean I’ve stopped believing I will go down this winding road I will follow where you’re leading But if I don’t know there’s streets of gold Does it mean I’ve stopped believing

Limping on a Hope 03:56
lyrics

You came to me in the middle of the night I was unaware, and I was left behind I was was all alone and you were so strong I was looking for love when you came along I was looking for love when you came along I will hold on tight to you Until you bring home, until you bring me home I will make you see it though Limping on a hope, limping on a hope We grappled there by the Riverside As the stars gave way to the morning light I let you leave and I did the same With a broken hip and a brand new name With a broken hip and a brand new name I will hold on tight to you Until you bring home, until you bring me home I will make you see it though Limping on a hope, limping on a hope I knew I wouldn’t win And so did you, so did you Been through hell, and back again Where were you, where were you? I will hold on tight to you Until you bring home, until you bring me home I will make you see it though Limping on a hope, limping on a hope I will hold on tight to you Until you bring home, until you bring me home I will make you see it though Limping on a hope, limping on a hope

A Time for Peace 03:45
lyrics

Seems like when it comes to war The money never wavers There a wound within this shattered shore That won’t heal without our neighbor There’s been time enough for hate There’s been time enough for grief There’s been time enough for death Could there be a time for peace Shouting at the hollow air Like somebody up there hears me Wondering if they even care It’s enough to make you crazy There’s been time enough for hate There’s been time enough for grief There’s been time enough for death Could there be a time for peace We’ve been torn We have cried We’ve been scattered far and wide We’ve had war We’ve been broke We’ve lost, alone, or didn’t you know There’s been time enough for hate There’s been time enough for grief There’s been time enough for death Could there be a time for peace There’s been time enough for hate There’s been time enough for grief There’s been time enough for death Could there be a time for peace

Land of Hope and Plenty 02:53
lyrics

There’s a land I’ve never seen Where each person knows of love Every cup is full of water Every plate has food enough No more neighbors living homeless And the rivers all run clean Oh Lord, I’m feeing homesick For a land I’ve never seen It only stays a dream if we never wake There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes There’s a land I hope to see Where each broken heart finds peace And nobody is a victim For all greed and evil cease Every faith and culture valued Every kind of prisoner free Oh Lord, I’m feeling homesick For a land I hope to see It only stays a dream if we never wake There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes Won’t you walk with me a while ‘Til this pain and struggle ends Remind me to be grateful For the chance to start again ‘Cause we’ve got a way to travel Make me thankful in each mile Oh Lord, I’m feeling homesick Won’t you walk with me a while It only stays a dream if we never wake There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes It only stays a dream if we never wake There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes There’s a land of hope and plenty, all of us is all it takes
