This Sacred Trust 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Let’s rewind, start again Remember why we’re in the same room Just a sec, let’s be still Calm our anger, stop fighting With a deep breath Head on your chest You holding me Let’s come close, eye to eye Ears open, listening We are here because of love No one can break this, only us With a deep breath Head on your chest You holding me We’re gonna keep our promise Lets hold each other tight And guard this sacred trust

Stare It In The Face 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Stare it in the face I know your afraid And I know theres pain But it’s the only way It’s time to make amends Even with the mean ones They no longer have you So cut the rope around you There’s no use in holding it all in There’s no day that’s free from danger Let’s jump in to the deep end Let’s give in to forgiveness These waters are healing Let’s stay here in freedom We were born for mercy We were born for love We were made to give it And now it’s up to us Let’s jump in to the deep end Let’s give in to forgiveness These waters are healing Let’s stay here in freedom Running into mercy, running into love Breathing in your mercy, breathing in your love

Palisades 04:03
lyrics

Far and wide are the things I've tried please forgive me I've grown of age at the end of the day I'm still lonely Palisades and barricades Could not stop these storms from a comin' So we lit our torches set our course Made our way and traveled toward the morning To the battlefield We war our fears Blood sweat and tears Birth to ashes The night is long But loves fight is strong At break of dawn Fear falls alone Aching mind you know it's time for changing A thousand nights for one sunrise I'm still waiting Palisades and barricades Could not stop these storms from a comin' So we lit our torches set our course Made our way and traveled toward the morning To the battlefield We war our fears Blood sweat and tears Birth to ashes The night is long But loves fight is strong At break of dawn Fear falls alone Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh

Abe 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Abe was a big strong man Doing the best he can At age thir - ty - six Big house, a wife and kids When he was 10 years old Life brought a giant storm Dad left and momma cried Abe’s heart was torn right through Enlisted at 18 Cheers to the brave marine Making momma proud Drowning the voices out Stop, look, listen Your heart is bleeding Time won’t mend this unless You look back again Married at 25 To the love of his life Baby on the way Now the voices have to fade Stop, look, listen Your heart is bleeding Time won’t mend this unless You look back again Little ones all around Voices louder now Storms brew in the distance Is this really all there is

Goodnight Charlie 04:44
lyrics
buy track
Watching the stars with you Seemed a lifetime ago Seems obligation is a more traveled road Mind chained to duty Heart-struck by the moon When will our dreams become what we do Good night Charlie Good night Moon See you tomorrow or sometime soon Shadows are closing in Clouds cover the moon Younger days and talks till dawn Ended way too soon Mind chained to duty Heart-struck by the moon When will our dreams become what we do Good night Charlie Good night Moon See you tomorrow or sometime soon It’s better to know we did than know we didn’t Its better to say we tried than know we never
