1. Brighter Sky
I'm laying on my lawn right now/The sky is filling up with clouds/
I dont know why Im here at all/And now the rain begins to fall/
So I'll wipe my eyes again/Cause I know its not the end/Oh, oh, oh/
I'll stand and squeeze my clothes all-dry/And pray God for a brighter sky/
You stretch your hand out and take mine/You tell me that things will be fine/
The rain won't last too long you say/And tomorrow is another day/Chorus/
Bridge/Chorus(x2)/End
2. God's Waiting
We all stumble and we fall/We all make the same mistakes/Were all human
and we all/Give much less than we take/We're all selfish full of pride/We
love to love ourselves/And we all would rather hide/Than let another try
and help/God's waiting/For you to run to Him/And He's wanting/To free you
from your sin/He'll pull you out/Of the chains youre in/He'll break you
down/And make you whole again/We all told lies when we were young/And
some of us still do/And whether or not you did my son/I still love
you/Cause love is patient love is kind/It isn't jealous, isn't rude/
Love is humble all the time/And its happy with the truth/God's
waiting/For you to run to Him/And He's wanting/To free you from
your sin/He'll pull you out/Of the chains youre in/He'll break you
down/And make you whole again/He wont make trouble disappear/Instead
He'll carry you through/He can take away your fears/And He'll give
his strength to you/And when you stumble He'll be there/To set you
on the path again/And when you sin and make Him sad/He'll forgive
you for your sin/God's waiting/For you to run to Him/And He's wanting/
To free you from your sin/He'll pull you out/Of the chains youre in/
He'll break you down/And make you whole again/God's waiting/For you
to run to Him/And He's wanting/To free you from your sin/He'll pull you out,
Of the chains youre in/He'll break you down/And make you whole again/
We all stumble and we fall/We all make the same mistakes/Were all human
and we all/Give much less than we take/End
3. Even When The Weathers Cold
I wake up, breath the morning air/Combed my teeth and brushed my hair/
I took a walk because you know I know the weather's fair/And on the path
is where I saw you there/And you said, Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Better get in
quick cause it's gonna snow/Oh oh oh oh oh no/I take summer strolls even
when the weather's cold/Rowboats, books, and suntan lotion/Easy reading
for warm days on the ocean/I gave a sigh, cool breeze and swaying motion/
The wind goes cold, depressing notion/You said, Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Better
get in quick cause it's gonna snow/Oh oh oh oh oh no/I still ride rowboats
even when the weather's cold/I'm sitting here on my front porch/I've talked
so much my voice is hoarse/I think I'll play my guitar a little more/This
weather makes my spirit soar/Then you said/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Better get
in quick cause it's gonna snow/Oh oh oh oh oh no/I'll play music more/to
cheer me when the weather's cold/Sheets of ice cover my windows/Grab a
tissue for my drippy nose/I'll trust in God even when the weathers cold/
He never fails and He never goes/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Better trust in God
cause it's gonna snow/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Can't do it on your own/you've
tried and failed, I know you know(2X)/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh/Oh oh oh
oh oh ohh/Better trust in God cause it's gonna snow/Oh oh oh oh oh ohh/
Can't do it on your own, you've tried and failed, I know you know(2X)/
End
4. Seven Hours Later
It's 12 A.M/And the day is over; you're heading into bed/Your alarm is set/Like always set for 7; as you lay down your head/
But it was ringing when they found you/Is what they said/It was ringing but/But you were still in bed/
Seven hours later you were dead/Suddenly it mattered, every word you'd said/
Where you'd been throughout your life and all the things you did/Suddenly it mattered how you lived/All along it mattered how you lived/
No one, No one/No one saw it coming/No one knew the time/If you had known/How short your life would be now/Would you have changed your mind?/
Did you listen to the world?/And try to save your life?/Or lose yourself; take up your cross/And follow Jesus Christ?/
Seven hours later you were dead/And now it doesn't matter the people that you met/
The things, or friends or happiness you tried so hard to get/Suddenly it wasn't worth your sweat/It wasn't really ever worth your sweat/
Rewind, rewind/Back to the beginning/Beginning of your life/I think you'll find/This race was made for winning/Not running out of time/
But did you get distracted?/Did someone call your name?/And did you stop and listen?/Giving up the race/
Seven hours later you were dead/I'm afraid there's no more trying; it seems you've reached the end/
The Book of Life is opened, is your name within?/Hear this as a warning from a friend/This was just a warning from a friend/End
5. I'm Listening
Pull up a chair and tell me whats wrong/Im open to listening to what you have to say/I may not agree but Ill listen for as long/
As you talk even if it takes all day/Takes all day/But Ill be here just listening/Listening because I care how you feel/
How you feel seems to change each and every day/So every day Ill be here just for you/Just for you/
Im holding my breath for the bad news/Your whole day when wrong, you just have to tell a friend/
Well Im sitting here, same as always with a Kleenex in my hand/And Ill comfort you until your sadness ends/
Until it ends/There will be pain and trials/Trials come and trials go, but I remain/
I remain at your side to lift you when youre down/When youre down look to me, Ill give you strength/Ill give you strength/
And I hope you know that youre welcome to stop by/And pay me a visit any time you feel/
Anytime that you feel a need to talk about anything at all/Im listening cause it seems Im no good with words/
No good with words/So Ill quietly take note of all you say/Cause all you say means the world to me/
The world to me seems crueler when theres no one there/No one there to give their time listening/
Im listening/Im listening/You didnt come to talk today/I guess I shouldnt expect you every day/
And since you arent here Ill just take the time pray/Pray over your day/Pray over your day!/
Im no good with words/So Ill quietly take note of all you say/Cause all you say means the world to me/
The world to me seems crueler when theres no one there/No one there to give their time listening/
No one there to give their time listening/No one there to give their time listening/Im listening/Im listening/Im listening/End
6. Why Am I So Sad?
As the deer thirsts for streams of water/So I thirst for you, Oh God/My
soul thirsts for the living God/When can I meet with you?/Day and night/
My tears have been my food/While men say to me/"Where is your God?"/These
things I'll remember/As I pour out my soul/How I used to praise you/How I
used to praise to you/Why am I so sad?/Why am I upset?/I should put my hope
in God/Why am I so sad?/Why am I upset?/I should put my hope in God/And keep
on praising Him/My Savior and my God/My soul is sad within me/So I'll remember
you/For all the things you've done for me/The love you've shown/Deep calls to deep/
In the roar of your waterfalls/Your waves have swept over me/They cover over all/
By day the LORD directs his love/At night his song is with me-/A prayer to the God
of my life/Oh God don't forget me!/Why am I so sad?/Why am I upset?/Why am I so sad?/
Why am I upset?/I should put my hope in God/Why am I so sad?/Why am I upset?/I should
put my hope in God/Keep on praising Him/My Savior and my God/End
7. Butterfly
What flitters about like a butterfly/Laced in purple and gold/Catching the sunlight and bringing a smile/
To the faces around it/Occasionally it will come/And land on your finger/But not often/What flitters about like a butterfly/
Laced in purple and gold/Catching the sunlight and bringing a smile/To the faces around it/Sometimes it will come only to leave/
Seconds later it is gone/A ghost among the trees/Trying to catch the butterfly is dangerous/Often than not, it is killed in the process/
Maybe you should wait for it to come to you/What flitters about like a butterfly/Laced in purple and gold/
Catching the sunlight and bringing a smile/To the faces around it/From a distance it can be deceiving/
Looping and swaying on invisible strings/Up close you can see it for what it is/A butterfly/No less/No more/
What flitters about like a butterfly/Laced in purple and gold/Catching the sunlight and bringing a smile/To the faces around it/
It seems it did turn out this way/I watched my butterfly fly away/I makes me sad but I won't cry/I'm trusting God that He knows why/
And I want you to know my butterfly/You've only brightened my sky/Torn wings don't mean anything cause God still gives us flight/
I pray that you'll trust in Him tonight/I pray that you will trust in Him tonight/End
8. This Year Foreword
Guide me safely this year foreword/Help me walk within the truth/Teach me always to be humble/As I'm but naught compared to you/
I wanna be just like you Father/To shine as a light until/The day comes I leave this world/The day comes I leave this world/
I wanna be just like you Father/To shine as a light until/The day comes I leave this world/The day comes I leave this world/
9. Winging Away
Here comes the snow so white and so small/Swirling down I watch it fall/It covers the trees and covers the ground/
Dulling every little sound/Till all I hear/Is singing/And all my doubts and fears/Are winging/Winging away/
Breathing out and watching my breath/I turn to you, your cheeks are red/Dont say a word. Just keep looking around/
Till we only hear one sound/Till all we hear/Is singing/And all our wasted lonely years/Are winging/Winging away/
Breaking the silence in childlike laughter/Not looking back, but only looking hereafter/
And as we laugh, spring flowers break out through the snow/Then you smile as if to say I told you so/
And then we hear/Someone singing/And overhead/The birds are winging/Winging away/
As night falls we must face and say goodbye/I knew this time would come, but I still dont know why/
We stand a while, and then you turn to go/And till youre gone, I watch your footprints in the snow/
And then I hear/Soft singing/I know its you/Youre winging/Winging away/But maybe tomorrow/Youll return to stay/
And stop winging/Winging away/End
10. Brighter Sky (Old Version)
11. My Memory
My Memory grew old and slipped away from me one day/But of the year, or month, or hour it’s really hard to say/
She was a close companion, a friend while I was young/Though hardly had I lived a score, she returned from where she’d come/
You know I loved her dearly, for how she cared for me/Guiding me from day to day, as a shepherd does his sheep/
The only key to open up the safe within my mind/To bring back to the present a life that’s left behind/
My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/The same as I was when you were here/My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/
The same as I was when you were here/It makes me glad to know no more the things I long wished gone/
Of hardships that had left her scarred, that darkened her bright song/But it made me sad to see her go one crisp, cold, cloudy day/
To watch through rain streaked windows my Memory fade away/She took with her my recollect of growing up at home/
Of friends now gone that I had loved, of places I once roamed/She took with her experience, a skill learned over time/
Once valuable, now useless, who will bring it to my mind?/My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/The same as I was when you were here/
My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/The same as I was when you were here/Now here I am an empty man, bare, ridden of my past/
Though more focused on the future, on eternal things that last/I wish I’d been more thankful for the years she lived to see/
I’d taken her for granted; now she granted rest in peace/My Memory grew old and slipped away from me one day/
But of the year, or month, or hour it’s really hard to say/Alas I wish now as I write to bring her back to me/
For I had a few things more to say, but they left with Memory/My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/
The same as I was when you were here/My Memory/Please reappear/I’ll never be/The same as I was when you were here/
