Have you ever really felt the sunlight? Have you ever really felt its glow? Have you ever really heard a child laugh? Have you ever let it stir your soul? We are sons and daughters And guiding lights Curious explorers Growing minds Your life is yours to live Have you ever really wondered about God? Do you still wonder at all? Do you ever search for beauty? Do you know it's always there? We are sons and daughters And guiding lights Curious explorers Growing minds We are data-collectors Makers of art Wandering journeyers Seekers of heart Your life is yours to live

How To Be 04:09
There's a devil on my shoulder Tries to tell me how to think And I'm trying not to listen Never felt so out of sync Wish that I could simply rid her Wish her ideas made no sense But as I try to ignore her Her cries get louder, more intense How to be There's an angel on my shoulder Helps me find the words to say But I'm having some trouble Hearing her today There's a part of me That knows she is right But I can't help but think of How I feel so alive How to be There's an answer somewhere Somewhere down the line Gotta keep on going Got to trust in time

Days gone by And I'm not alone The sun's been kind Bringing comfort to my bones But sometimes A little sting settles Inside my chest I remember your love Run for cover before the storm Shallow breath Pounding heartache Yet all at once There's a peaceful space Inside my mind I know this will pass But somehow The feeling's merciless Run for cover before the storm Days gone by And I'm not alone The sun's been kindly Comforting my bones These memories Are worthy of recalling My ever-growing self Will forever live in awe
4.
When I'm all alone I picture your smile on my heart And when I lie awake I imagine your arms giving me peace There's something in your words That frees me, my spirit Yet still my heart aches For the one I've left behind A little nervous, I admit But is that a reason for me to quit? I'm not really sure how this goes A little sudden, don't you think? But when I listen to instinct I feel this is something worth feeling

I've got eyes that see I've got ears that hear I've got friends, and they love me I've really got all I need So why is there a hole? What made this hole inside? I've got a voice that sings I've got a loving family I get to do what I love Yet there is something missing Oh, why is there a hole? What made this hole inside? Now I must try to fill up this void With some self-love I know that's within me

Alive 02:26
Just wanna sit here Wanna sit here for a while with you It's not every day Every day that the birds sing our tune I think I like your spirit Wanna get to know it a little better We could just talk Make me laugh 'til my cheeks get redder You know that they will You always make them do that And I get lifted by the light that you shine It's still a little hard to define What it is that I'm feeling It's not unfamiliar, yet I can't explain Why it seems to be worth all of this pain I don't care I'm still here And I feel alive

Feel 02:58
feel feel me surely, you must know this is what our bodies are meant for for each other, we are oh how fortunate we are feel me feel you and breathe in the better parts of myself myself i give and receive through loving you for it is in loving that i find what i am for and death becomes merely a dream

Open Arms 04:00
Breathe in, breathe out There's just too much to think about So let go And bring yourself to now Look up, look down Look all around yourself And bring yourself right here And I will be here with open arms To hold and keep you safe and warm Love me, love you There's just so much that love can do So let it in Open up your heart Listen to how you feel Don't say it isn't real You'll never know just what it's worth Until you let it out And I will be here with open arms To hold and keep you safe and warm
10.
Sunlight I want to dance under your beams Quiet night I let your peace relieve me Warm breeze Embrace me Like the roots of trees Ground me Mother's eyes I see a love so pure Baby's smile I see a bond that's never-ending Lover's kiss Remember this feeling Helping hands Is what we are There is beauty all around us There is love, it surrounds us
