EVERLASTING
Five years ago I was diagnosed
with a disease I didn’t know
if I’d see another year
but somehow I’m still here
I woke up from the surgery
you were there to welcome me
you held the weight of telling me
that my future might not be
and so I can’t thank you enough
for holding my hand when times were tough
I can’t thank you enough
sweet love, warm like the sun
and I wish all the joy that life may bring
to you and yours and all that you seek
I wish it on the stars, eternity, your dreams
may they be everlasting, everlasting, everlasting.

LOST
She said your time is short
It’s been too long without anymore
The rain don’t rain no more
It’s been too long without anymore
The fires they burn they rage, Mother’s angry
we haven’t turned the page
I said Please Give Me Time, just another moment.
She said
Your time is short, Your time is short, Your time is short
I’m so sorry, I was lost
I’m so sorry, I was lost
She said your time is short
it’s been too long without anymore
The rain don’t rain no more
it’s been too long without anymore
The fires they burn they rage
we haven’t turned the page
I said please give me time
She said never mind
She said never mind

Angie - capo 3
Angie Angie Angie, I feel lost without you
but in that sky baby blue I get to ride with you.
Angie Angie Angie, I never met you
but I know you're here too in this sky baby blue.
They said I was better off not meeting you.
But what did they know of the pain you had been through?
You quit your job.
You quit your dreams to raise a family.
Angie your heart is true, I believe in you, you can start anew
Angie, I love you too
Rolling downtown, warm in the breeze feels easy for a moment dear in Cincinnati -
far from the dishes and laundry machines.
The river curves around the turns,
after four kids deep don't forget your needs. (your needs, your needs, your needs)
Angie your heart is true, I believe in you, you can start anew.
Angie, I love you too.

Did they know that he cheated?
That he lied? And beated?
Bbm
Did they know that you didn't leave him?

Except for the rides when you cried all alone.
please know that you're not alone.

Ocean
I am wandering in the light
I’m swimming in an ocean of your love
I’m praying at your feet
I’m begging on my knees
I’m lost at sea
I had no anchor I was drifting away
The Sun was Warm on my face
I had not won the race
Who told me it was a race?
Yes I am wandering in the light
I’m wandering in the light!
Am C G
I’m swimming in an ocean of your love
I’m begging on my knees
I’m lost at sea
I’m lost at sea
Bridge
Am Em
With no anchor to stop
C walkup to Am G
no compass to find my home
Oh I am wandering in the light
I’m wandering in the light!
Am Em G - viola
I was searching for something that can’t be found
oh darlin, darlin, please

The Way We Talk, key D
A G D A
Sharing our traumas in the way we talk, in what we choose to say right away.
Sharing our traumas in how we move and walk, if we let the wind carry us away.
don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
Bm A G
Don’t you know dear I’m scared and hurt?
But don’t worry, it’s okay
at least that’s what they say, what they say, what they say
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
You asked how are you but do you really wanna know?
Can you even fathom this pain?
don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
Optional : (Sharing our traumas in the way we talk, in what we choose to say right away.
Sharing our traumas in how we move and walk, if we let the wind carry us away)
don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
When’s the next time you’ll let yourself be?
Let yourself breathe live day by day?
When’s the next time you’ll let yourself be?
Let yourself breathe live day by day?
Day by day, day by day, day by day

The Road
You might get lost in the road when it’s not giving
You might hurt from the pain of the fall
You might get hard when they start hitting
Well I’m here to say this life is worth living
I’m here to say it’s worth it, even the falls
I’m here to say this life is worth living
I’m here to say it’s worth it all
Sometimes the road gets rough and forces us to crawl
and sometimes you know I just wanna curl up in a ball
No matter what, this life is worth living
No matter what, know that you’re forgiven
Yeah I’m here to say this life is worth living
I’m here to say it’s worth it, even the falls
I’m here to say this life is worth living
I’m here to say it’s worth it all
In the end, finding you is the way most giving
serving yourself so you can serve it all

Shake
04:16

Stuck in a rut
all the stuff
feels too much
like the fog when you can’t see your own feet
What will you do
when you’re down
feelin blue
when the sadness drops you to your knees
I’m not quite sure,
but the worries keep me stirred
up at night, like the wind
in the trees.
So I gotta shake shake
so I gotta move move
so I gotta roll
nothin left to lose
So I gotta breathe deep
so I gotta be free
so I gotta see
it all clearly
The voices they may
keep you from moving on today
but don’t listen!
they’re liars and cheats
Yes I may cry
and that is all right,
because this tenderness
is a part of me
And yes I will die
but not now, not this time
right now, I will sing
So we gotta shake shake
so we gotta move move
so we gotta roll
nothin left to lose
So we gotta breathe deep
so we gotta be free
so we gotta see
it all clearly
Now there’s some space
I feel at home in this place
for a moment at least
Please don’t be afraid
of the losses you have made
be sure you’ll land back
on your feet
We learn from the burns,
not knowing the next turn,
it’ll be what it is when you meet
it’ll be what it is when you meet

Together
The glass goes, the world knows it's over the edge
The river flows, the moon knows when we go to bed
The lungs breathe, the eyes see sweet trees overhead
Give us grace and give us love
Give us shade and give us sun
Let us see our loved ones
Let us see our loved ones
The family rises up with the light
Pitch perfect people in their own minds/right
each one a function of love and hate
Wanting the best for this special day
Give us grace and give us love
Give us shade and give us sun
Let us see our loved ones
Let us see our loved ones
What gives me the right to plan the way?
When we're all in this ship together today
Together we find safety in this broken place again
Together we find healing for our broken hearts again
Together we find beauty in this brokenness again
Together, Together

Wind
Can't know what the wind don't know, can’t know what the wind don't know
So still like the river flow
in the winter, when it's all cold
Can't control her no more -
just let go, just let go.
What you fighting… What you fighting this all for?
What you fighting… What you fighting this all for?
Can't know what the wind don't know
You can't buy it
You can't lie about it
Oh no, no no no, no no no.
What you fighting… What you fighting it all for?
What you fighting… What you fighting it all for?
Whatever you decide, whatever you decide
I don't know
what you've been told,
but we all
end up
in the same place.
Forgotten faces, in the dark.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.

Back Home
Escaping time, Escaping my mind, once again.
We all lose track of time, so rewind.
We all lose track of time, Take your time
and come on back again, my old friend
and come on back again, my old friend.
Will you come back home?
Will you Please come back home?
Finding the light again, Letting me shine again
You see, who I wanna be
I wanna be free
I wanna be me
No more grasping, No place to go
but back home
but back home
but back home.

I’ve been watching you for so long
fairy godmother, I got one CAPO 5 E D A
be nice to the frogs danielson
what really happens when we’re young?
blamed and scolded now we’re on the run
crayola pancakes, how fun
what really happens when we’re young?
books and backpacks, afternoon snacks
I get lost in the grass, mom’s here at last
what really happens when we’re young?
blamed and scolded now we’re on the run
egon’s birthday was no fun
just dog tags and playing with guns
what really happens when we’re young?
blamed and scolded now we’re on the run
F#m A E
what was your childhood like? were you caught in a war?
did you sleep on the floor? did you fall off your bike?
what really happens when we’re young?
blamed and scolded now we’re on the run
you know it’s never really done
like sandcastles in the sun
no no no
it’s never really done

Boy
Hey boy, where you going?
Hey boy, where you going?
It’s time to wake up and go to school, make sure to listen and follow the rules
Be a man they say, have a plan they say, Be a man they say, have a plan they say,
But I, don’t know, what will happen next,
So I’m hoping for the best.
Put on a suit and tie, or a uniform of some kind
Put on a suit and tie, keep on working till you die
But I, don’t know, what will happen next,
So I’m hoping for the best.
Make some more money for me, say the ones who profit while you bleed
Do it all quietly, no matter what you’ll never be free
Yes I, don’t know, what will happen next,
So I’m hoping for the best.
Forget all your dreams, keep still, don’t be seen
Let go of everything, it’ll all be gone before you blink,
I’ll be gone before you blink

Not only did I enjoy the lyrics from the very first listen, it also caused me to reflect not only on the lyrics but what I was feeling. There are these brilliant moments without lyrics which provide a space for deep contemplation. It had been a bit since a song hit me as this one did.
