I think I'm bein left behind again
It does seem to happen every now and then
No point tryin to pretend
…
But that's alright, you go on ahead
…
I just can't go with you, it ain't part of the plan
But don't you worry, I'll be fine
I'm movin forward I'm just takin my time
…
I don't want nobody waitin for me
I'll make my own way…
I'll just keep movin down this path that I'm on
Get what I need when I can't get what I want
I hope I'll see you down the line
And if your car breaks down you're welcome in mine
Ain't giving up, ain't givin in
Ain't trying to run against the wind
Aint tryin to change the shape I'm in
I'm just bein left behind
Winter storm with snow in January. Blooming magnolias in February. Nature is wild.
…
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
…
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you had a choice
You've made it now
…
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
There's this place in my hometown
Silent secret sacred ground
Where I used to run away
Where I learned to smoke and pray
It felt magic being there
In the lonely desert air
Had hard times being a kid
But somehow even back then
I knew what goes up comes down
And if you stick around
Life can change with the weather
Oh, somehow things just get better
Somehow
Somehow
Do you ever feel inside, like
Nothing you do can go right? Well
I've heard that voice in my head and
Sometimes it can get the best of me
When my demons go unchecked
Everything feels like a mess
I find a quiet place in my chest
And I breathe in
…
When you're losing your mind 'cause your friends don't care
And you're out of breath, you've been running uphill
No one carried you there
I know that things can get ugly, f***ed up and unfair
I know that there are brighter days out there
I know what goes up comes down
And if you stick around
Life can change with the weather
Oh, somehow things just get better
I know how bad it can feel
Oh, spinning on a wheel
Life can change with the weather
Oh, somehow things just get better
Somehow
…
O, gather up the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace
O, solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
O, see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart
O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above
…
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
