Deep Breath

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath
Slow down your heart, you can try again
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath
Get the bad air out, let the good come in
I know you've been running
Some days in joy, most days in fear
You can't stop your mind from racing
Keep choking on your tears
Trouble just seems to find you
Sneaks right past the walls you've built
Some say trials will make you stronger
I just pray they won't get you killed
Trying to be perfect
Make promises you just can't keep
Don't you know I love you best
On the nights I hold you while you sleep

Still Be Here
03:18
|

|
I fear that this might finally be the day
When it's all too much and you walk away
I keep listening for the door; I've been left before
And I wonder how long you will stay
Will you still be here when my life's on track?
Will you still be here when my joy comes back?
Will you still be here even if it won't?
'Cause I don't want to do this alone
When we started out, they said it's gonna be alright
"There's a light at the other end where you'll be safe"
But then fell the night and there's no end in sight
And I fear that this tunnel's just a cave
Will you still be here when my life's on track?
Will you still be here when my hair grows back?
Will you still be here even if it won't?
'Cause I don't want to do this alone
I feel less lovely every day
And I've hurt you more than I can stand
But I don't even know if I would recognize myself
If you weren't here holding my hand

The River
03:18
|

|
The river starts in the mountains
It flashes through the trees; it's clear and cold and clean
It snakes around to little towns, still miles from the sea
Cities grow up on its shoulders
It deepens and it grows; the spring sun melts the snow
It sweeps away the old decay and cleanses as it flows
Justice rolls like a river; washes us clean
Righteousness flows on, rushing over me.
Darkness comes from the inside
It springs up like a weed; it's jealousy and greed
It binds the chains that make a slave; it destroys humanity
The river rushes in from heaven
The water is alive; the darkness cannot hide
A seed is sown, the Spirit grows, and your heart is open wide
The river rushes clear as crystal
In the city of our king, the nations bow and sing
From the throne to the tree that grows with healing in its leaves

Engine Song
03:26
|

|
The doctor said my check-up went just fine
I had to get a shot; this plastic Band-Aid helps a lot
My next appointment's starting right away
Wooden blocks are scattered all around
A garage is being built and a city's being filled
The foundation's getting stronger every day
I hear the engine's friendly whistle blow
The animals have voices of their own
And we can share adventures without ever leaving home
Oh, I love to watch them grow
The track now branches all over the floor
The doctor gives prescriptions at the kitten's rescue mission
Everything's more complex than before
I know one day Gordon's fire will burn out
The Matchbox cars will start to rust, the stethoscope will gather dust
So I'll enjoy each moment while it's here

Mountain Laurel
04:12
|

|
When the mountain laurel blooms, it makes me think of you
Of the place we left behind and how we spent our time
I will walk along the trail with you by my side
And feel the sunlight falling through the leaves
The early summer breeze will rustle through the trees
Let the smiling laurel blossoms be our guide
We used to linger in the cold, winter moon upon the snow
We sat beneath the stars and opened up our hearts
And I remember times that we walked the canyon heights
Just keeping step together was delight
When the winter rolls into spring
Every season life will bring
If the water floods the shore
I'll still love you all the more
