Track Name: albino rabbit
Now I’m finally starting to fight to love the one I’m made to love
Just cause a thing is true doesn’t make it a thing I’ll be true to
How does one such as I with my passion for truth seasoned with some lies
Look straight at the fiery sun and push your praises on my lying tongue?

I know and yet I never know
Albino rabbit in the snow
From where it comes and where it goes
I know
And still I never know

You may be photogenic but there’s no telling how you will end up
A trillion different theories have yet to take the soul and sum it up
On one hand you’ve got history it’s a school and a prison all in one
And then you’ve got tomorrow with good and evil yet to be undone

I know and yet I never know
Albino rabbit in the snow
From where it comes and where it goes
I know
And still I never know

I know and still I never know
I know and still I never know
Track Name: raft in a typhoon
she spent all she had
it should have gotten better but it just got worse instead

and I spent all I had
it should have gotten better but it just got worse instead

Once there was a man who walked the earth with a heavy load
Had a boat tied to his back
Exactly why, he didn’t know
But what can you do he held on to it thinking who knows
Then one day a flash flood came
And that boat carried him through

Into the worst storm I’ve ever seen
I look at you and you’re asleep
If you don’t wake up I know I’ll drown
I know I gotta calm down but I don’t know how

Be still my soul be still my soul
There’s someone on your side
I finally found my resting place
His hands, his feet, his side

Be still my soul be still my soul
And if tomorrow at mid-day
The still has gone, my soul press on
It won’t come naturally

Be still my soul be still my soul
A raft in a typhoon
Some say war, and some say peace
My alien soul come soon.
Track Name: this little light
take, give die, live
search, give up ooh

love, hate try, fail
no time, no space oh
I wanna know, I want to know

When will I be made whole? When will I be made whole?
Will it mean the complete destruction of all I know?
When will I be made whole?

There’s a time for everything there’s a time to die
But it’s way before your breath stops or your soul heads for the sky
There’s an arrow that’ll pierce your heart and shatter everything inside
Ooooh

There’s a time for hope
There’s a time for nope
There’s a time that seems like the bottom but it’s just the middle of the rope
So you hang on just a little longer, if only by a thread
But when it snaps and it breaks and you fall gotta cling to that
Disconnected rope even then

When will I be made whole? When will I be made whole?
Will it mean the complete destruction of all I know?
When will I be made whole?

Theres a time to be a clown
There’s a time to be unknown
There’s a time to face that darkness
So it seeps into your bones
And when no one recognizes you
And you’re filed under “doe”
Oooh let me know





There’s a time for union and a time forlorn
No one in your heart and no one in your home
And when you draw your very last breath
Let me know
For that’s the day your heart becomes like snow

Some things are covered Some things are shown
Some things are mysteries And some things are well known

You and I are covered But you and I are not shown
You and I are mysteries You and I are not well known

You don’t cover the mountains You don’t cover the sea
But I need to find something To cover me

And my timing is terrible And my love falls apart
But whatever it takes To keep a soft heart

Whatever it takes Hold a knife to my throat
There is a fire And everybody knows

Its gonna eat up the ground
And then it’s gonna turn around so
Cling, there’s no choice but to cling
Or it will be absolutely nothing at all

The anvil breaks the hammer One hammer after another
Quietly enduring Every blow

Don’t you know, oh don’t you know
We’re given what we need when we need it not before
Don’t you know, oh brothers don’t you know
We’re given what we need when we need it, not before.
Don’t you know, oh sisters don’t you know
We’re given what we need when we need it not before
Don’t you know, everybody don’t you know
We’re given what we need when we need it not before

We don’t know what to do
We don’t know what to do
But our eyes are sure upon you
Our eyes are sure upon you
We don’t know what to do
And I sure wish I knew
But our eyes are sure upon you
Our eyes are sure upon you

This little light this little light of mine
I’m gonna let, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light this little light of my
Weaknesses burn bright.
Track Name: lose lose lose
I’ve got honey and vinegar
Sloshing all around somewhere in my heart
It’s funny and it’s sad and it takes forever to be
Soothingly torn completely apart

We’ve heard it all before
I’m saying nothing new
Yet still I have to sing it
Till the world’s face turns blue
Even if you just heard it
I’ll sing it for you again
You have to lose
If you want to win

X2

Oh Lord I tried
To add to you
Oh Lord, you won’t
You won’t be added to

My soul finds rest in you plus nothing
My soul, finds rest, in no one else but you

That mangled tangled
Mess of doubts and cares
I pour it out
Right in front of you

My soul finds rest in you plus nothing
My soul finds rest, in no one else but you

I’ve been thinking about all of the things I want
Can’t keep track of it all
All I want is you
All I want is you
Track Name: if there was a place I could go
Oooh, we must go through all of this X2

How much longer this gonna keep up (repeat)

Who told you you were naked who said you were too weak
Who told you there was nothing left of perfect things to seek
Who told you that you couldn’t right after I said you could
I see you’ve eaten from the tree

Who told you that your body was nothing but machine
Unknown signals flashing here and there as you watch helplessly
Who told you you’re an animal who does not pause to think
I see you’ve eaten from the tree

Who taught you those awful words who told you what they mean
Who said if you say them then you will know everything
Who told you I’m gonna find them and then I’m gonna throw them in the sea
Cause I see they’ve got you eating from the tree

And all your great words will never never save you
All my great words will never, never save me
All our great words will never, will never save us

You can cheat your way to a shiny shiny desk
You can steal all the stuff you need
You can kill the competition off
But who can find rest for that stormy heart

You can sell all your things right down to your diamond rings
And work those fingers to the bone
Though we put our hands together for you
Who can find rest for that stormy heart

The heart has a mind of its own
One minute its in the clouds, the next it wants to drown
If there was a place I could go to make it one whole
I know it’d be worth the breaking things, the breaking things I own

The heart has a mind of its own
One minute its in the clouds, the next it wants to drown
If there was a place I could go to make it one whole
I know it’d be worth the many hearts
The many hearts I own
I know, it’d be worth the many many breaking hearts I own.
Track Name: love needs the whole wide world
a little respect
except maybe just a little respect
I’ve got nothing to lose except maybe just a little respect

I’ve finally given up
On trying to impress you
I found a better way to be truly loved

I asked you and I took your arm and
Put it around my shoulder
Now was that really so hard?

My love my love
It is not what you call love
It must become a moving one
My love my love
Somehow it’s become some fake kind of love
Can you make it a real one
My love my love
From this day on
Shall be a moving one

A doctor needs a whole lot of people who are feeling all wrong
A singer needs for there to be someone who really needs to hear a song
A magician needs at least one
Who doesn’t really think it can be done
And Love needs the whole wide world to overcome

A winner needs all the rest who were trying to take number one
A helping hand needs some poor soul who will take it and hold on
The judge needs the sinner’s wrong
For justice to be done
And Love needs the whole wide world to overcome

Love it is invigorating
Love, it is exhilarating
Love, it is the most amazing thing.
Ever
Track Name: the land of the living
Somewhere I’ve got a lot of things I’ve kept
Pictures and letters from the ones I can’t forget
Each year I rifle through, every year there’s less
Someday I know nothing will be left
Someday I know nothing will be left

And I know
They’re gonna forget who I am
They’re gonna forget who I am
And it’s okay if it ends up everybody’s
Just like that thinking
Who can remember who I am
Who will be there to help me stand
With all the thoughts and opinions just a bracket
An aberration
In the middle of a single truth
Which will determine what I win and lose
Just one thing when you come into your
Kingdom
Please
Remember who I am

One of these days I’m gonna make you so proud
I know I’m slow and costing more than I told you I was going to all those years ago
The odds are so low
With all the things I don’t know I just know
One of these days I’m gonna make you so proud

One of these days I’m gonna make you so proud
I’m way behind and it’s too late and even if I start now there’s too much on my plate
I’m sure of one thing
With your arm around me I’ll be okay and
One of these days I’m gonna make you so proud

Looks like its all coming down to this
Turn on yourself, or turn yourself in.

All I can say

We are blessed to sing your praises
We are blessed to breathe sweet air
We are blessed to suffer through this
To bring joy out of despair yeah we are
Blessed in the land of the living
In the land of the living we are blessed, oh yes
We are blessed in the land of the living
In the land of the living

We are blessed to be saved by you
We are blessed to have your ear
We are blessed to be so needy
We have reason to draw near yeah we are
Blessed in the land of the living
In the land of the living we are blessed, oh yes
We are blessed in the land of the living
In the land of the living

I’d rather have Jesus
Than silver or gold
I’d rather be his
Than riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus
Than anything
This world
Can give
Today.
