"Hands (Christmas Version)"

"Hands (Christmas Version)"



in the end only kindness matters
in the end
ah mmmmmmmmm ah

if i could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all okay
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
i won't be made useless
i won't be idle with despair
i'll gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and i am never broken

poverty stole your golden shoes
it didn't steal your laughter
and heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
we will fight not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right

'cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing

my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
i am never broken

('cuz) in the end only kindness matters
in the end only kindness matters
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray

my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own

my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and i am never broken
we are never broken

we are god's eyes
god's hands
god's hands
we are god's eyes
we are god's eyes
we are reflections of god
(god's hands)
we are reflections of god
(we are god's eyes)
we are reflections of god
 
"Happy"

"Happy"


Do you see the man with a monkey in his hand
He sings to him sweetly and calls him Sam
He's happy
So happy

And do you see the lady with the long black beard
Its her pride and joy
She's been growing it for years
She's happy
So happy

So may I caution you and say beware
Before you dare judge and stare

[CHORUS]
'Cause everybody has to be something
Its a lot better than just being nothing
Everybody has to be something
Whatever makes 'em happy

We all know Mary she has fifty cats
And all day long she is giving them baths
It makes her happy
So happy

Arnold is a hermit
He gets lots of weird looks
Because all of his friends
Well, they live inside of books
But they make him happy
So happy

You never know what it takes
For someone to be glad in their own way

[CHORUS]

We can see pieces of ourself
In the reflection of everyone else
So judging them is like judging yourself
Instead of just being happy

I know a lady
Who dances on her bed
Only she can hear the music
'Cause it's in her head
But she's happy
So happy

So be as different as you want
It's even more fun than you thought

[CHORUS x2]
 
"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

"Haunted"

"Haunted"


I will come 2 u
In the still of the night
And I will crush u
With the burden of sight
And u will understand
The shadows in my heart
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart 2 quicken
And then, my dear
U will see u want me here

[CHORUS]

And when u wake up
U will see yourself through my eyes
And when u break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry

Let me speak quietly
So your heart can hear
I will hypnotize and mesmerize u
With the sound of your own fear

[CHORUS]

I just wanna get along
This is your song
I wrote it in my head
But the melody's all wrong
And it's driving me crazy
Not having u, baby
2 keep me company
In my own private world
You're my one true girl
And I won't be stoppin' Just 'cause your knees are knockin'
When I decide 2 drop in
So don't make a sound
'Cause there's no one around
2 come between us now
I'm gonna haunt u, girl

[CHORUS]
 
"Here When Gone"

"Here When Gone"



I am a woman haunted by hands even though I'm alone
Traces of Palm across my skin
An invisible map of where you've been
It's dry road to Idaho a thirsty tongue across the land
And soil so dry it could swallow an entire man
Took the first road out of town hoping you were just skin deep
But I feel you like some sort of phantom limb
Beside me when I sleep

Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone

I watch another grey day unfold its dusty wings
Sometimes I wish I were more like rocks and stones and things
Sometimes I wish my heart were not like flowers at all
That way I would not get butterflies when you call

Your absence undermines the landscape
Incomplete without your body like a pillar holding up the sky
My body thirsty for your touch
There's no use wondering hwy

Cause you are here when gone
You're here when gone
You are here when gone
Here when gone

And some birds abandon the nest
Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
Sometimes I feel like abandoning
My guitar and my books and I'm afraid that I know why
I'm afraid that I know why

Cause you are here when gone
You're here when gone
You are here when gone
You're here when gone
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here when gone

Oh, your kiss lingers on my lips
It lingers
 
"His Pleasure Is My Pain"

"His Pleasure Is My Pain"



A man stands in the doorway like a small child
Angry fists
She lies in her bed her head buried in her pillow
She stares at the moon
He speaks to her all the words she's heard too many times before
And pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away
She thinks
This was a gradual steel frost that started with cold feet
And ended with numb hearts
It was once satisfying sex, but now no longer is
It was once filled with all the possibilities of new china or old stone
But now it's exaggerated and water-logged
No longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep

He always said I was too sensitive
But I say, least I never meant to make him cry
Least I never meant to make him hurt that way
No, I never meant to make him cry
I never meant to make hurt that way

Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
He takes pleasure in my pain
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
He takes pleasure in my pain

And the unheard hours they fly by, she goes to the window
Puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
He's already asleep by the time she goes to lay back down
She thinks, my god, what I am doing here

My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his grey eyes
And I feel that if I were to stay one more night here I'd die,
or explode, or worse yet, just fade away
And there've been days so dark when I felt like August
and that I soon too would turn to Fall
He always said I was too sensitive
If I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he simply has always lacked such subtlety

But I say, at least I never meant to make him cry
At least I never meant to make him hurt this way
No, I never meant to make him cry
I never meant to make him hurt this way

Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
He takes pleasure in my pain
Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but
He takes pleasure in my pain

She gets out of bed and looks at her feet
as though they were the wings for her freedom
She gets up and goes to the drawer
It's a moment in which anything can happen
As she gets out some clothing, puts them in a bag
And leaves him sleeping while she heads for the door

Gone
Gone
 
"I Do"

"I Do"



We've been doin this war dance together for sometime I know,
We're treatin love like a
Battlefield and takin it slow,
Will you blink, what do you think?
The union we propose is dangerous I know

'Cause love is a game until it's played
And if it's lost it can't ever be saved
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
But the difference is up to me and you
So if you will, I will stop saying I won't
And start saying I do. I do.

Life can take a long time
If you make the wrong choice
But time sure seems to fly by
When I hear your voice

The stakes are high,
How will we find
The courage to believe
We will succeed

'Cause love is a game until it's played
And if it's lost, it can't ever be saved
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you
So if you will, I will stop saying I won't
And start saying I do

Well our hearts are locked inside an iron box
We're both too afraid to reveal our most tender parts, oh

'Cause love is a game until it's played
And if it's lost, it can't ever be saved.
We have heaven to win and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.

So if you will, I will stop saying I won't.
Stop saying I can't.
Is that what you said?
Cause if you did, I do. I do.

If you want me to.
I do.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
I will try, I will try, I will try.
I do.
 
"I Love You Forever"

"I Love You Forever"


You and I walking slowly
Hand in hand
Footprints in the sand
Watch the wind as it plays
Throwing shadows across your face
The sky was so blue
Your eyes so green
The air glittering
So sudden, so swift
Love came to us
Just like a gift
I lived here, you lived far away
Our lives called us back, no we could not stay
With a sad sort of smile you took my hand
Said while we're apart you hope I understand that...

[Chorus:]
You'll be holding me
And I'll be holding you
Through those long nights
My love will be pulling you through
When you see the stars
Pretend they're my arms
When you feel the air
That is me kissing you there
Say you love me
And I will say I love you
No distance could ever make that untrue
When I'm far away
I'll reach through time and space
When you hear the wind
You'll hear me saying
I love you forever

Fast forward our love story
I still remember that day
Her small precious face
You stared into her eyes
Hypnotized by her smile
But your job meant you had to travel
But we weren't ready for you to go
You held our daughter with a sad sort of smile
Said while we're apart I want you to know that...

[Repeat Chorus]

God forbid there'll come a day
When the light in my eyes fades away
But from your hearts I will not go
No bounds shall my spirit know, cause

[Repeat Chorus 2x]
 
"I Won't Walk Away"

"I Won't Walk Away"


A lonely street lamp
I'm out on the street walking home
A small pale blur
Leaving trails like a snail I move so slow
Time can bruise*violent indigo
Rush home to your arms
You soothe my weary soul

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned we'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
But we'll be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

Sometimes the world don't make sense
Small children filled with violence
Let our light
Shine through the night

Wrong or right be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

I won't walk away
[repeated till fade out]
 
"I Wonder As I Wander"

"I Wonder As I Wander"



i wonder as i wander
out under the sky
how Jesus the savior
did come to die
to save lowly people
like you and like i
i wonder as i wander
out under the sky

when Jesus was born
it was in a cow's stall
with shepherds and wise men
and angels and all
the blessings of Christmas
from heaven did fall
and the weary world woke
to the savior's call
