Turnê Long Fall Back To Earth

Ao longo dos últimos meses, além de grandes shows em Cincinnati, Goshen e todo o sul da Califórnia, os caras tem participado de alguns eventos muito especiais. Num deles que se tornou um encontro anual, a banda tocou no concerto antes do jogo de baseball Nashville Sounds AAA em 9 de julho. Os shows tem muito a ver com o Projeto Blood: Water Mission, que utilizam estes concertos para angariar fundos e conscientização. A Blood: Water Mission já ajudou diversas comunidades na África.

Em 11 jul, os caras jogado após um Minnesota Twins jogo (foto acima), em um concerto patrocinado pelos nossos amigos na KTIS. A banda começou a reunir alguns dos jogadores e ainda foram capazes de deitar fora o primeiro arremesso! (Andrew Osenga preenchido por Matt naquela noite).

Confira a foto à direita de Steve, no FishFest "balançando" em 2009, em Los Angeles. Foto cortesia de Jeff Wallace.

WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO FALL

Waiting For The World To Fall

I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now i've grown beyond the walls to where i've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life i lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who i am to you

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

When i catch the light of falling stars
My view is changing me (my view is changing me)
My view is changing me (my view is changing me)

I'm waiting
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come (2x)

I'm waiting to let my world come undone

HEART

Heart

I let it get dark, so you’ll see the stars
They’ll say we’re in love, we probably are
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

One flag left to burn, one country to fall
One soul to pour out, one love to catch all
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

HEAVEN

Heaven

Go undercover, we drop from the screens
We're hunters and lions, we are submarines
Under the surface, slip through the wires
Decipher the code words, disable the liars

And find, glowing on the inside
What's growing on the inside
Heaven's not that far
Glowing on the inside
Showing on the inside
It's growing where we are

We shatter devices, exit the stage
We stop masquerading, to rattle the cage
We face every searchlight at places we hide
We dress up for Eden, the gates open wide

We are, we are, we are
We're hunters and lions
We go undercover, we cover, we cover

LOVE WON'T LET US

Love won't let us



I had a revelation, I had a good thought

I sold it for comfort now and look what I got

I pledged my allegiance and lied my way out

I'm climbing to Jesus on the breaks in the doubt

Breaks in the doubt



Love, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here



My hands are too clean, and my head is a mess

But things are gonna get dirty when we confess

There's water in the river and love in the air

Gravity is shifting to lift off your care

To lift off your care



Love, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here

Love, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here



Love won't let us out of here alive

Love, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here

Love, no, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here

Love, it won't let us out of here

It won't let us out of here, out of here

Alive





Tradução



Love won't let us (O Amor não nos deixará)



I had a revelation, I had a good thought (Eu tive uma revelação, tive uma boa idéia)

I sold it for comfort now and look what I got (e a vendi por conforto, agora, veja o que me restou)

I pledged my allegiance and lied my way out (empenhei a minha fidelidade e me safei com mentiras)

I'm climbing to Jesus on the breaks in the doubt (estou escalando rumo a Jesus, em intervalos entremeados na dúvida)

Breaks in the doubt (intervalos entremeados na dúvida)



Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)



My hands are too clean, and my head is a mess (Minhas mãos estão limpas demais e minha consciência está em destroços)

But things are gonna get dirty when we confess (mas a coisa vai ficar feia, quando confessarmos)

There's water in the river and love in the air (Há água no rio e o amor está no ar)

Gravity is shifting to lift off your care (O peso está mudando, para decolar de seus cuidados)

To lift off your care (para decolar de seus cuidados)



Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)

Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)



Love won't let us out of here alive (O amor não nos deixará sair daqui com vida)

Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)

Love, no, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)

Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)

It won't let us out of here, out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui, sair daqui)

Alive (Com vida)

Santo Agostinho condenou a mentira. Para ele, não havia circunstâncias pelas quais alguém deveria mentir. Antes de mentir, o homem deveria optar por ser assassinado, torturado, ou passar por alguma outra dificuldade, mesmo se mentir fosse sua única forma de proteção. Dois de seus argumentos foram:

* "Mentir é a perversão da faculdade natural de discursar, cujo fim natural é comunicar os pensamentos do orador"

* "Quando alguém mente, menospreza a confiança na sociedade."

SCENIC ROUTE

Scenic Route

Don’t turn your back on me
Or read in between my words
I’m trying to drag this out
Taking the scenic route

I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to
But that isn’t what you and I came here to do

No nails to untie the knots
No veins left to take the shots
No touch to end a fight
Or letting who’s wrong be right

We’re just sitting like novels we’ve picked up but never read through
You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too
You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new

Even though we know the sun will rise
Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise

Baby, leave it all behind
Baby, leave it all behind
Missed a road sign
I don’t want to get home soon
Drive the car all the way around the moon
Baby, we could get lost
We have another state to cross
We could find each other out
Tell our secrets on the scenic route
I don’t want to get home soon
Drive the car around the moon
I don’t want to crush you or rush you
I’m not going faster if you want to and if you want to
I don’t want to rush you or crush you
But I won’t go faster if you want to
It’s not what we came here to do
I just want to drive
I just want to drive

THERE MIGHT BE A LIGHT

There Might Be a Light

I wait outside your house
And sing below your window
And I look for the light to show,
I knowI know that it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon

There might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I wait for it to shine
I know it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon
It will come on, come on soon

And it’s just the way things go
When you love someone and they don’t know
Sparks and hearts, they have to glow
They just glow, they just glow
You know they just come on, come on, come on, come on
They just come on, come on, come on

There is no delusion, to you I don’t exist
I am only shadow
Only a ghost can wait as long as I have for this
And I, I can’t wait much longer

‘Cause there might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I know there will be a light
It might not burn very strong
But I know it’s coming on
It will come on, come on, come on

BOYS (LESSON ONE)

Boys (Lesson One)

Lesson one - do not hide
Lesson two - there are right ways to fight
And if you have questions
We can talk through the night

So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I’ve been where you’re going
And it’s not that far
It’s too far to walk
But you don’t have to run
You’ll get there in time

Lesson three - you’re not alone
Not since I saw you start breathing on your own
You can leave, you can run, this will still be your home

So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I’ve been where you’re going
And it’s not that far
It’s too far to walk
But you don’t have to run
You’ll get there in time
Get there in time

In time, to wonder where the days have gone
In time, to be old enough to wish that you were young
When good things are unraveling, bad things come undone
You weather love and lose your innocence

There will be liars and thieves who take from you
Not to undermine the consequence
But you are not what you do
And when you need it most
I have a hundred reasons why I love you

If you weather love and lose your innocence
Just remember - lesson one

FORGIVE ME

Forgive Me

Well, I tried to figure out all the mysteries of love
I made confessions under pure duress
I thought that everything was meaningless

As far as the eye could see
As deep as the heart could be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me
Forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For things to be more clear
And now I’m so afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

For every town there is a crier
Like a thief in every choir
And when I think of the mistakes I’ve made
All my transgressions on a big parade

As far as the eye can see
As deep as the heart can be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me
Forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For something to be more clear
And now I’m so afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

As far as the eye can see
As deep as the heart can be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For something to be more clear
But now I am afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

‘Cause I’ve found the words to say
I’ve been thinking them for days
And now I’m begging you to stay

TWO HANDS

Two Hands

I’ve been living out of sanity
I’ve been splitting hairs and blurring lines
I am a house that is divided
In my heart and in my mind

I use one hand to pull closer
The other to push you away
If I had two hands doing the same thing
Lifted high, lifted high

I have a broken disposition
I’m a liar who thirsts for the truth
And while I ache for faith to hold me
I need to feel the scars and see the proof

I use one hand to pull closer
The other to push you away
If I had two hands doing the same thing 2X
Lifted high, lifted high

And if we just keep digging we can reach the foundation
Of our souls
And if we just keep cutting all the chains from our hearts
We’ll lose control

And it feels like giving in
It feels like starting over
It feels like waking up, and you know it’s coming
It feels like a brand new day
Open your eyes

If I had two hands doing the same thing 2X
Lifted high, lifted high

Lifted high

CLOSER

Closer

Well you thought you let go
But you're still hanging on
Mother Earth slowing down
She's still spinning around
And we… are getting dizzy…

I'll drop out of the race
For more personal space
Cos the rockets we're in
Get so cold, and I miss your skin
It's just how I'm feeling

If you need more love well you've got to get close to me
If you want my love well you've got to get closer to me.

No unreachable itch,
If you hemorrhage I'll stitch
You are tears, I'm a cheek.
I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks

If you want my love well you've got to get close to me
If you need my love well you've got to get closer to me
Oooo if you want my love

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up (light up)

You're my shirt iron on. I'm the tick, You're the bomb
You're the 'L' and the 'V', I'm the 'O' and the 'E'
Am I speaking clearly?

If you want my love well you've got to get close to me.
Oooo, if you want my love

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up

Cos I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I miss the chills in my spine every time that we touch

SAFE TO LAND

Safe To Land

Getting tired from all this circling
Not much grace left on a broken wing
I feel the wind trying to push me down
It happens every time I get to town

I search for shelter near the mines we swept
I guess forgiveness hasn’t happened yet
There are no words that I can say to you
That turn this careless sky from black to blue
So I’m asking you is it safe? Is it safe to land?
‘Cuz I’m not going far on an empty heart
Is it safe? Is it safe to land? It’s the long fall back to earth is the hardest part

I’m in no weather for apologies
I need your runway lights to burn for me
And if you say that I can come around
I’ll love you right, yea I won’t let you down, I won’t let you down

‘Cause I’m coming home, if these wheels touch down
I’m coming home I’m waking you up in the middle of the night I’m not giving up
I’m gonna stay ‘til we make it work
We’re not going down even if it gets worse
We’ll work it out. Yeah we’ll work it out.
I need light to guide me in
Oh, Yeah is it safe?


Tradução


Getting tired from all this circling (Estou ficando cansado de tanto rodear)
Not much grace left on a broken wing (não há mais tanta graça em uma asa quebrada)
I feel the wind trying to push me down (sinto o vento tentanto me derrubar)
It happens every time I get to town (isso acontece sempre que chego à cidade)

I search for shelter near the mines we swept (Procuro por abrigo próximo das minas que escavamos)
I guess forgiveness hasn’t happened yet (acho que o perdão ainda não aconteceu)
There are no words that I can say to you (não tenho palavras que eu possa lhe dizer)
To turn this careless sky from black to blue (que tornem estes céus indiferentes e escuros em um céu azul)
So I’m asking you (portanto eu lhe pergunto)
Is it safe, is it safe to land? (É seguro, é seguro aterrissar?)
‘Cause I’m not going far on an empty heart (pois não irei longe com um coração vazio)
Is it safe, is it safe to land? (é seguro, é seguro aterrissar?)
‘Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part (pois o longo retorno à terra é a parte mais difícil)

I’m in no weather for apology (O clima não está para desculpas)
I need your runway lights to burn for me (Preciso que suas luzes na pista se acendam para mim)
And if you say that I can come around (e se você disser que eu posso me aproximar)
I’ll love you right, I won’t let you down (amarei você da maneira correta, sim, não vou lhe decepcionar)

I won’t let you down (Não vou lhe decepcionar)
‘Cause I’m coming home, if these wheels touch down (Pois estou voltando para casa, se essas rodas tocarem o chão)
I’m coming home, i’m waking you up (Estou voltando para casa, eu vou te acordar)
In the middle of the night, I’m not giving up (no meio da noite, não vou desistir)
I’m gonna stay, till we make it work (Ficarei até conseguirmos acertar)
We’re not going down even if it gets worse (Não afundaremos mesmo que a situação fique pior)
We’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out (Daremos um jeito nisso, sim, daremos um jeito nisso)
I need your light, guide me in (preciso de sua luz, para me guiar)
Is it safe? (É seguro?)

Sobre a Letra:

Dan Haseltine: “Muitas bandas escrevem músicas sobre estradas -- como a música ‘Faithfully’ do Journey -- sobre como é sentir falta da família quando se está na estrada -- mas ninguém escreve canções sobre como é voltar para casa depois de estar na estrada e tentar reconectar-se com sua família. Uma das partes mais difíceis de se viajar como artista é que, se você é casado e tem família, você acaba criando esses mundos diferentes. Você tem que criar, pois sua família tem que prosseguir e continuar a viver enquanto se está fora e você tem que encontrar uma forma de existir, enquanto está longe de sua familia. Então quanto se reencontram, parece ser um quebra-cabeca totalmente novo, tentar entender como você se encaixa com os demais. Portanto, essa musica faz esse tipo de pergunta, "Como você reconquista sua estabilidade como família, depois de tanto tempo separados?"

HEADPHONES

Headphones

I don’t have to hear it, if I don’t want to
I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you
It’s a heavy world, it’s too much for me to care
If I close my eyes, it’s not there

With my headphones on, with my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

We watch television...but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt
I take in the war-fires, and I’m chilled by the current events
It’s so hopeless, but there’s a pop song in my

Headphones on, in my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

At the Tube Stop, you sit down across from me
(I can see you looking back at me)
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
I want to tell you (It’s a heavy world)
Everything will be okay
You wouldn’t hear it (I donÂ’t want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways…

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
I don’t wanna be the one who tries to figure it out
I don’t need another reason I should care about you
You don’t want to know my story
You don’t want to own my pain
Living in a heavy, heavy world
And there’s a pop song in my head
I don’t want to have to hear it

WEAPONS

Weapons

Hallelujah, we can finally hear
It's a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall.

Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you.

Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn't notice that grace had run so thin
Till we're falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let the truth sink in.

HERO

Hero

One spot on an empty canvas
One chair in an empty room
No place for a revolution
No hope if the signs are true

We stand at the edge of something
Will we ever know what it is
Hold on 'cause the wind is rising
And we can't get away from it

We’re in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadow land
We sing while the city's burning
No room, no escape, no plan
We all never thought it would end this way

And we need a hero
To save us from ourselves
We need a hero
To save us from ourselves

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

We hide on our knees in silence
Maybe God doesn't hear at all
And the wait overtakes the violence
And we watch as the giants fall
We're not gonna let it end this way

DON'T STOP

Don't Stop

You told them that I hung the moon
It was a lonely sliver hanging from the sky
I said I put it there for you
I didn’t think that it would make you cry

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now

My recurring dream of you
Starlight in your eyes and music everywhere
I am dancing close to you
There are no days or nights we’ve left behind

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
When you’re running, you’re running far away
And you don’t know what to do with all my love
Don’t stop for me now

Why is it so hard to say that you need me
The way that I need you

There are no days, there are no nights, we’ve left them all behind
And you can run so far that I won’t reach
There are no places I won’t find you

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
You keep running, yeah you’re running far away
When all I want to do is be with you my love
You can run so far, run so far, my love
By the light of the moon I will get to you somehow
So don’t stop for me now

EVERTHING IN BETWEEN

Everything In Between

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...

WONDERFUL CHRISTIMAS TIME

Wonderful Christmas Time

The mood is right
The spirit's up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Don't look down

The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The mood is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough...

LOVE CAME DOWN AT CHRISTIMAS

Love Came Down At Christmas

Love Came Down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?

Love will be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love from God to all of us,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone,
Snow had fallen – snow on snow, snow on snow, on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man, I would do my part,
What I can I give him – give my heart.

Angels wreathed in singing, host of Heaven adore,
Star beheld with glory that did not shine before,
Shepherds fear the blinding light, haste to understand,
In the bleak midwinter, peace for child, for man.

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTIMAS DAY

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.

"Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

GABRIEL'S MESSAGE

Gabriel's Message

The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
"All hail" said he "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured maid," Gloria!

"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
By seers foretold
Most highly favoured maid," Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name.
"Most highly favoured maid Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world forever saved
Most highly favoured maid Gloria!

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Little Drummer Boy

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.

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may his His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ the Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we had gone astray

[Chorus]
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
O tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our Heav'nly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Bro't tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

[Chorus]

PEACE IS HERE

Peace Is Here

Little children, born to chaos, sojourn by the stars appear,
Though your fears wrap all around you, love has come and peace is here.

Men to men, in violent rapture,
Wars lay sons in fields unknown,
Hope to quell the disappointment,
Justice born and mercy shown,

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here.

Angels sing in righteous envy,
Kings of Earth kneel by the throne,
Born to push against the fall, as far as the curse is found.

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na.

Gloria, Gloria, (peace is here)
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

WINTER SKIN

Winter Skin

We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
And we watch the snowfall.

We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
And we watch the snowfall.

And we watch the snowfall.

LIGHT GIVES HEAT

Light Gives Heat

Catch the rain empty hands,
Save the children from their lands,
Wash the darkness from their skin.

Heroes from the West,
We don't know you, we know best.
But this is not a test.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

It's not the way to light their way,
Boys in holes and empty fields,
Oh, how good it feels.
Lower class, and understate, empty promise, empty plate.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

Will you teach us how to love? To see the things you see,
Walk the road you walk, and feel the pain that you feel.
At your feet I kneel, I want to see you shine,
See your light not mine... 'cause light gives heat...
Your light gives heat... gives heat.

WATER UNDER THE BRIGDE

Water Under The Bridge

I do not love you the way I did when we met.
There are secrets and arguments I haven't finished yet.
But it's only that grace has outlived our regret that we're still here.

So maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge.

There are times meant for breaking, and words to ignore,
And a bent to our souls when our skin is at war.
And if leaving were freedom, well, we'd both walk right out of that door.

Maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows.

And the years roll by, and you hold my hand, while the shadows stretch over the land.
Crumble and fall in my arms, and we'll struggle to hold on.
Waters they rise and they carry our hopes and dreams away, baby we can stay, stay.

And the years roll by, and you hold my hand, while the shadows stretch over the land.

Maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay till the last drop of water flows under the bridge.
