It's not hard to know what you're thinking When you look down on me now Your trance of love is seeking To turn this world around But in my state of blind confusion No God can pull me out I see your love is willing To turn me inside out
And then I see you there The lonely tears I cry I wish they'd release me
It's in despair that I find faith Summon the night to bow down to day When ignorance is bliss Save me from myself
Chorus:
And then I see You there With Your arms open wide and You try to embrace me These lonely tears I cry They keep me in chains and I wish they'd release me Cold is the night but Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay And if you follow me You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey
Fade to grey Fade to grey
[Chorus x 2]

Fare thee well Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony
Not intend To leave this castle full of empty rooms Our love the captive in the tower never rescued And all the victory songs Seem to be playing out of tune
But it's not the way That it has to be Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy 'Cause it's not the way That it has to be
You begin And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up I reach for my tea and slowly drink in
Chorus:
'Cause it's not the way That it has to be Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy 'Cause it's not the way That it has to be Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
So fare thee well Words the bag of leaves that fill my head I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
[Chorus x 2]
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy We can work it out Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy We can work it out Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy We can work it out

You're cold that way And that's why you say The things that you say You can't attract The things that you lack You're trying in vain
Chorus:
It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right
You spiral down You've broken your crown You don't feel like a queen You've seen the proof But you're still crying wolf You'll never believe
[Chorus]
You try to climb a broken ladder Grip the missing rungs And fall down, down, down Seems sometime ago you said This wouldn't last And now you sit here crying
Beside your bed You feel left for dead You kneel in the dark...
It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right
[Chorus]
Convinced of my deception I've always been a fool I fear this love reaction Just like you said I would
A rose could never lie About the love it brings And I could never promise To be any of those things
Chorus:
If I was not so weak If I was not so cold If I was not so scared of being broken Growing old I would be... I would be... I would be...
Blessed are the shallow Depth they'll never find Seemed to be some comfort In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows You take the cup from me Your dirt removes my blindness Your pain becomes my peace
[Chorus]
...frailConvinced of my deception I've always been a fool I fear this love reaction Just like you said I would
A rose could never lie About the love it brings And I could never promise To be any of those things
Chorus:
If I was not so weak If I was not so cold If I was not so scared of being broken Growing old I would be... I would be... I would be...
Blessed are the shallow Depth they'll never find Seemed to be some comfort In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows You take the cup from me Your dirt removes my blindness Your pain becomes my peace
[Chorus]
...frail
For those under the clouds Staring up in awesome wonder As tears come slowly down I'm reaching up a needful hand
Chorus:
You are my eyes when I cannot see You are my voice, see, sing through me You are my strength in weakness be
To find that I could fall And still your grace surrounds, pursuing To freely stumble down I feel your hands around my heart
[Chorus]
You are my strength, my voice, my eyes I lift up needful hands You are my strength, my voice, my eyes I lift up needful hands
[Chorus]
Must have thought I was so strong Might have ever thought I was the one for this all along
But I can't even dream Or imagine how it seems To carry the weight of this crown
Chorus:
It's not as easy as it seems To carry the weight of your dreams Hiding in the shadows It's not as easy as it seems With Pharaoh and angel and everything in between (counting on hope)
I might have come to a similar conclusion Only mixed up in the wake of confusion That the glamour was mine Though the power divine To carry the weight of this crown
I don't know why I see your fire Carry me over Stay this way...
Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) A newborn king to see (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) To lay before the king (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum x 3) So, to honor Him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) When we come
Little baby (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) I am a poor boy too (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) I have no gifts to bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) That's fit to give a king (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum x 3) Shall I play for you (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) On my drum?
Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) I played my drum for Him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) I played my best for Him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum x 3) Then, He smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum) Me and my drum
Call it obsession, call it fanatical I am not trying to make this a spectical But I have this craving that justifies behaving I really need some of that...
Chorus:
Oooh, good coffee, strong coffee I need to have some Oooh, good coffee, strong coffee
Oh Cappuccino, Double Espresso I need something with a really big kick You ask me 'bout creamer, you ask me 'bout sugar I tell you those things make me sick! In my...
[Chorus x 2]
Another sleepy Sunday, safe within the walls Outside a dying world in desperation calls But no-one hears the cries, or knows what they're about The doors are locked within, or is it from, without...
Chorus:
Looking through rose colored stained glass windows Never allowing the world to come in Seeing no evil and feeling no pain Making the light as it comes from within, so dim...
Out on the doorstep lay the masses in decay Ignore them long enough, maybe they'll go away When you think you have so much, you have so much to lose You think you have no lack, but you're really destitute
[Chorus]
She always knew the things to say She had a smile to end a frown Sometimes it seems she didn't notice Sometimes she dreams Sometimes she tries to dance
She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair She dreams of somehow saving the day
The chair a pressing door left open Her heart the key she always turns A locking peace no understanding It was all she knew And what she held on to
Chorus:
She calls out "Hi Ho Silver" from her chair (she calls out "Hi Ho Silver") She dreams of somehow saving the day (she dreams) She rides out west into the sunset She knew she could, she'd somehow find a way
[Bridge]
Upon the legs that wouldn't carry Fly away around the sun And leave the misery for heaven And sometimes dream again the dance And as the grass grows through the concrete Life embraces bitter land She learned to trust, she learned to love She walked the dream, she walked the dance
[Chorus x 2]
Oh refuge of my hardened heart Oh fast pursuing lover come As angels dance 'round Your throne My life by captured fare You own
Not silhouette of trodden faith Nor death shall not my steps be guide I'll pirouette upon mine grave For in Your path I'll run and hide
Chorus:
Oh gaze of love so melt my pride That I may in Your house but kneel And in my brokenness to cry Spring worship unto Thee
When beauty breaks the spell of pain The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain But not when love be pointed king And truth shall Thee forever reign
[Chorus]
Sweet Jesus carry me away From cold of night, and dust of day In ragged hour or salt worn eye Be my desire, my well sprung lye
[Chorus x 2]
Spring worship unto Thee Spring worship unto Thee
