THE VALLEY SONG

The Valley Song

You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
On a back bruised, nearly broken
I'm crying out to you

Chorus
I will sing of Your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

When death like a gypsy
Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening
Because there are no words
Just the stillness and the hunger
For a faith that assures

Chorus

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

While we wait for rescue
With our eyes tightly shut
Face to the ground using our hands
To cover the fatal cut

Though the pain is an ocean
Tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
Higher mountains have come down

Chorus

Alleluia, alleluia

REDEMPTION

Redemption

We made it to a starnge town
Going down the wrong road
Like any story retold
Couldn't find a common ending
We're way gone, be gone, looking for our own way

We needed a distraction
You said you were redemption

We knew it as a wrong turn
We couldn't know the things we'd gain
When we reach the other border
We look out way down past the road we came from

We're looking for redemption
It was hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption

We were looking out past the road we came from

Looking at redemption
Hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption
In the eyes of sorrow, eyes of rage
What a sordid histories they played
The drama of redemption
Redemption

THE EDGE OF WATER

The Edge of Water

Have you ever been haunted
The way I've been by you?
And have you ever felt
The measure of the days that I've spent waiting,
Pining for you?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
Til you're coming back again

I've dammed the emotions
To keep my lanterns lit
I'm shaken by this longing
That courses through my veins
In my mind I can't make sense of it

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Are you coming back again

Do we give up the search
And turn out the light?
And give up this holy ghost that
Rattles through the night?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
Til you come back again

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Will you chase away these shadows?
When you come back again

When You come back again…

*Talvez a palavra Água aqui queira se referir especificamente a um rio, um lago, mas vou usaremos Água apenas.

Sobre a Letra:
"'The Edge of water' recebeu este título pois esta canção fala sobre o retorno de Cristo. É uma música que traça um paralelo entre nossa sêde pelo cumprimento do Reino de Deus, da mesma forma como uma pessoa tem sêde por água. Estamos à beira do penhasco olhando para a terra prometida lá embaixo ..." - Dan Haseltine

REVOLUTION

Revolution

Peace takes a taxi to the underground.
I want to love the world but I don't know how.
I'll blame it on the d.j. playing all the fast songs- ain't spinning anything that I can sing along.

So if you know the words try to sing along.
When you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you wanna learn to play the "rock guitar."
Throw down your guns, you're gonna be a star.
You gotta begin with who you know you are to be a revolution.

Cause the time is right to cross that line to let love find a way.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
When you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.
It's all right, to be a revolution, it's all right yeah.

So if you know the words then try to sing along.
When you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
And when you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
And when you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

DIG

Dig

I had a big idea
I had a crazy eye
I broke the sacred seal
I told a lazy lie
I've had my conscience bent
I've had my patience tried
I've been up in the desert and
Down by the riverside
Will the eagle fly
If the sky's untrue?
Do the faithful sigh
Because they are so few?
Remember when i cried?
Remember when you knew?
Remember the look in your eyes?
I know i do
And count the stars to measure time
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea, ill crawl on my knees
Feel it coming in
Feel it going out
Water covers sand
Blood covers doubt
So i begin again
Again, the healing bow
There was a time when i might have surrendered, but not now
Consult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
At the sea, i'll wait on my knees
Consult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
At the sea, ill wait on my knees
At the sea, ill wait on my knees
At the sea, ill wait on my knees
