Proclaim 04:15
Out standing in a field with nothing to bring No special song for me to sing Then this oil was poured on my head I was chosen to be king instead I was called to Proclaim You’ve got to Stand Stand and shout it Stop thinking about it And proclaim You’ve got to Stand Stand and shout it Sing your loudest And proclaim On this mission, oh what a beautiful day I was knocked off my horse along the way There’s no sight in my eyes Until I finally realized I was called to Proclaim
2.
Reach 03:47
Reach out Touch the marks in his hands Tell him your plans Tears and screams and demands Stand at the edge of your soul Your restless and feeling cold Question everything that you know That you’ve been told Reach, reach out to him The last verse is not where the story ends Climb to the top to reach so high It’s not enough to get by Let go and close your eyes Reach when you remember why Reach when your eyes cry Reach with your heart Reach Reach, reach out to him The last verse is not where the story ends Reach, reach out to him The final verse is where we dive further in

As I lay down with rain on my head And all the pillars I had counted on were dead The rain blew down and I was ashamed My heart remembered love no this tired game Storms come down and leave me bear Cold overwhelms I’ve reached my end Were these storms, storms at all Or were they clouds in my head Could I go back back? Could I go back back? When I was to blame Could I go back back? Could I go back back? Would I be the same As I finally stood and looked down the road Mercy grabbed me and grace overflowed The path seemed so far, but I’d find a way Soon I was running, but you met me half way Oh, were these storms, storms at all Or were they clouds, clouds in my head The storm has passed and now here I stand The skies are now empty, you reached out your hand You took me back You took me back When I was to blame You took me back You took me back And I’m not the same I’m not the same You took my shame

Lately 04:24
Once upon a time I held my breath And listened until there was no air left But the sound swells from deep inside Nothing left but to move aside Your words, your words A beautiful sound Lately my ears have found a way to be open Lately my eyes have found a way to be open I hold the candle steady But It burns my skin And my ears as I’m listening Newly opened eyes begin to sting As the light first begins to pour in
5.
Saw a picture of a rose on a dusty hill Hold it to the light until The subtle tones so consistently A picture of a rose so simply Draw me a picture of a perfect scene And the colors in between Colors in my eyes and I behold Confusion everything turns gold A rose on a hill for all to see Verse and the chorus and everything in-between Draw me a picture of a perfect scene And the colors in-between Draw me a picture of a perfect scene And the colors in-between
6.
Surely it’s a tower that you seek The tallest mountain and the tallest peak I need a ladder just to see Over these words that speak How could be you found me in this place I came to see that it was grace An apple and a tree That where you found me Everything that you said Put an apple on my head Candy coated caramel red Something fell and hit my head Of the fruit from which I’ve fed Left with empty hands instead
7.
When I was a king, you were impressed You were impressed by the way that I dressed I dreamed of a kingdom shiny in scene But the shininess was all in my dreams My fake plastic crowns comes to end when it hits the ground My fake plastic crown makes no sound My fake plastic crown kingdom, come to an end Don’t drag me down Smoke blew up and it mystified Smoke blew up and it burned my eyes Escape through the secret door Shuts behind, it was no more You see, you see in me This thing that I cannot see But I know, you look inside And you will heal my selfish pride
8.
Look down at the map in my hand Every street I could imagine in my little head Compare this to where I stand Every direction, every turn has Lead me to where I am But I know who I am Even if I knew the score I would walk through the same door Even if I knew the end Even if I knew before what was in store I would do it all again I look down in the rain Ink is spilling and My drawings and lists go down the drain I can’t explain No feeling of missing Just feelings of comfort I can’t explain I could imagine I could imagine But I know who I am Even if I knew the score I would walk through the same door Even if I knew the end Even if I knew before somewhere there was something more I would do it all again
9.
Next Time 04:28
Next time, I’ll be stronger Next time, I’m greater Next time I’ll know I’ll know just what to say Next time I’ll learn from my mistakes Next time, I’ll be taller Next time, I’ll hold on longer I’ll be rock planted in the ground I’ll be a place where virtue can be found Make next time, this time and don’t wait for tomorrow Make next time, this time and the rest will follow Next time, I’ll be a leader Next time… I’ll be rock a place for you to build Waiver not, hold on until Next time I’ll know just what to say Next time that’ll be my day I want you to know I’m not letting go So, please save me
10.
I woke up today, full of sorrow I woke up, my own way All my plans, my ambitions I want and choose my own way Steal me away to Your Mercy Steal me away to Your Mercy Your Mercy is like drops of rain It melts away my frozen heart It keeps me on the straight and narrow And it brings me back when I’ve been astray Steal me away to Your Mercy Steal me away to Your Mercy And I know it’s hard to let it go But I know that I will be yours forever more
