I like to feel the breeze as it serenades my soul Live my life with ease, surrender all control Oh and the clouds may come, try to steal away my sunshine But ain't nobody gonna take my joy I like to hear the birds as they welcome to a new day They speak without words, tell me that everything's okay I open up my window, so I can hear their melody, they're singin', "Ain't nobody gonna take my joy"

For You 05:04
Oh my love, I miss your crooked smile And it hurts so bad that I haven’t seen you in a while And I want you to know you’re a part of who I am I find myself looking at your picture whenever I get the chance Oh I hate the distance Know that I’ll be with you all the time Though I hate the distance Darling I’ll be with you all the time I hope those beautiful eyes never have to see a day of sadness (Ohh) May the only tears you cry be from laughing too hard How I pray for your delicate heart Take my word the years don’t linger on So take your share, before they’re gone All your dreams, they’ll follow you forever So promise me you’ll look them in the eyes and let ‘em lead you on. Oh I hate the distance Know that I’ll be with you all the time Though I hate the distance Darling I’ll be with you all the time I hope those beautiful eyes never have to see a day of sadness (Ohh) May the only tears you cry be from laughing too hard How I pray for your delicate heart

The evening slips away like velvet sand running through my fingers The sun he waves goodbye, and as he leaves says “see ya tomorrow” The gentle breeze tickles my soul, Jack serenades on the radio So pull up a chair, we got room; we’re not leaving anytime soon So throw another log in the fire, my friend It’s a beautiful night it doesn’t have to end We’ve got memories to make, and to bod farewell to another day So take all the time you need Close your eyes, breathe with me We can chase the sea, oh you and I, we’re free In our summertime dream The rain begins to fall It kisses my cheek I don’t mind at all The air is warm and kind Oh I’d rather not go inside. The days are long and easy They dance around your heart It feels so good to be living , yeah, ‘cause the living ain’t hard at all So throw another log in the fire, my friend It’s a beautiful night it doesn’t have to end We’ve got memories to make, and to bod farewell to another day So take all the time you need Close your eyes, breathe with me We can chase the sea, oh you and I, we’re free In our summertime dream {Whistle} So take all the time you need Close your eyes, breathe with me We can chase the sea, oh you and I, we’re free In our summertime dream Throw another log in the fire

Jericho 04:30
For years I had a gate around my heart Brick by brick, I built the strongest guard Like Jericho, my walls would keep me safe But on you marched, with unshakable faith Down they crumbled The city of my soul is in your hands The army of my fears doesn't stand a fighting chance Against the gentleness in your eyes I know you're just a man I don't expect the promised land Just a promise that you'll never leave my side Don't know how long it's been since I felt the sun Hard to feel anything at all with that armor on Now I'm free to dance, free to run All my shame is good and gone Down they crumbled The city of my soul is in your hands The army of my fears didn't stand a fighting chance Against the gentleness in your eyes I know you're just a man I don't expect the promised land Just a promise that you'll never leave my side Oh I know that you'll never leave my side

Empty 03:22
I feel empty, and it scares me They say just tell the truth and you can’t go wrong So I’ve been tryin’, and it takes all of my strength But I feel empty, so empty today And I feel lost, with a hundred roads before me I’ve been praying over every step I take So I keep moving, though it takes all of my strength But I feel empty, too empty today Oooh Though I’m afraid, and nothing really makes sense The path that’s set before is ever straight So I will go, and though my vision’s blurred I will trust the hand that leads me on Oooh

I could watch the rain 'till tomorrow Couple hours from the night I could borrow Write out my troubles on the window Watch them fade away These sorrows settle on my shoulders No rest for the weary or the sober It's like a wall that I can't knock over I wanna pull the covers to my head But I have to put my feet on the floor Even if my heart can't take anymore With hope as deep as the day is long I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on Like a flower underneath the snow I will take my time to grow Pushing past the unknown Till the light finds my face And these thoughts that consume my mind Their power will fade in time They will not drain this life of min Not if I can help it But I have to put my feet on the floor Even if my heart can't take anymore With hope as deep as the day is long I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on x2 oohh But I have to put my feet on the floor Even if my heart can't take anymore With hope as deep as the day is long I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on I will keep on keepin' on I will keep on x2
