1. JUSTICE AND MERCY

We can't be oblivious,
We are not ignorant,
Blood in our hearts,
Blood on our hands,
We're human, we reason, we're breathing,
Protecting the living and dying, surviving,
We're trying to breathe in safety,
Come home safely

Mercy screams its violent love,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
This is where they kiss

Life here sacrificed,
Someone who paid the price,
Blood in our hearts,
Blood on our hands,
We cry out, we're fighting, it's warfare, we're dying,
Believing we're winning, it's ending, we're singing,
It's already done, we've overcome

Mercy screams its violent love,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
This is where they kiss

With a life on the line (Fire!),
That consumes or refines (Fire!),
To ascent or decline, to retreat or to climb,
Out of sight, out of mind 'til attacked from behind.
Will this fire resume or refine?

Mercy screams its violent love,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
And this is where they kiss


2. OKAY

I won't be satisfied with okay
And I can't be okay with alright
So point me to the edge of life
I'll stand up on my toes
Stretch my fingers out to there and bring it back here

It's too important for us to forget
We'll unify our thoughts
God will hear and save
God will hear and save us

All together standing up on our toes

Reaching for the freedom that they don't know
So catch it as it pours down
We know what we need
Don't get tired when you're running back to show them

It's too important for us to forget
We'll unify our thoughts
God will hear and save
God will hear and save us


3. AMY SAYS

Amy says she's all alone
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses throw them down
Just whisper, don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused...by you

And Amy says
I see YOU laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I find so hard YOU find so beautiful
There's a hope in you deep inside for me

The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
And as the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear you breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear
And she knows that you are here
You are here

(x2)
I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside from you


4. DEAR MY CLOSEST FRIEND

Dear My Closest Friend
I'm writing because
I miss you so much
At night I always cry
The stillness still reminds me
Of when we first fell in love
And I miss that so much
Dear my closest friend

Dear my closest friend
I remember when
You asked me to stay
And I just walked away
I apologize

I hope my letters sent
I lost that moment(x2)
Seconds at a time(x2)
I wait for your answer
But I already now
Your hand was always mine(x3)

Dear my closest friend
I'm writing because
I miss you so much


5. LIGHT IN YOUR EYES

Pour the wine
Light revives
Lowering walls that divide
Kings and Queens yearn to seek
Love in all its mystery

When all we wanted was love,
We got cut up and burned
But there's a light in your eyes
And it tells me
That God is on our side

The waning moon
Your sweet perfume
Incense for the Holy Ones
Secret hymns pour from your lips
Healing for this broken soul

We'd drive late
And let the music tell our fate
For me this is heaven
Drown our fears
And we may age
If we do not die today
Until then we'll let
This music be our prayers

When all we wanted was love,
We got cut up and burned

But there's a light in your eyes
And it tells me
That God is on our side

And all we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up
All we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up

And all we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up
And all we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up


6. BELIEVE IN DREAMS

I know
Days will come and go
But maybe I'll grow old
But I will die

For now
Is it worth it to be sad
If it's harder to be glad
To be alive

But the trouble I have caused
I wonder
Where do I belong
Is it here

Believe in dreams
You love so much
Let the passion of your heart
Make them real
And tell
All the ones you love
Everything about the love you feel

Laugh about the past
And secretly
Wish we could go back

And save the child

As I look around this room
Seeing worried eyes I know
It's time we cannot buy
Was this worth the time to write
Was this worth the time to write

Believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I believe in you

Believe in dreams
You love so much
Let the passion of your heart
Make them real
And tell
All the ones you love
Anything and everything you feel

Believe in dreams
Believe in dreams


7. ARISE

Tell the swine, we will make it out alive
There's a note in the pages of the book
So sleep tonight, we'll sleep dreamlessly this time
When we awake we'll know that everything's alright (everything's alright)

Sing to me about the end of the world
End of these hammers and needles for you (needles for you)

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed

The snow on your face and your razor blades
The twilight is bruised and there you lie

We'll cry tonight but in the morning we are new
Stand in the sun, we'll dry your eyes

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed
Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed

Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
There's some strength left in us yet

Hold on to the world we all remember dying for
There's some hope left in it yet

Sing, sing, arise

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed
Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed (Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for)

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed (Hold on to the world we all remember dying for)

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed (Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for)

Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed
Arise and be
All that you dreamed, all that you dreamed
