Coming Home

There's a point out on the highway
Where pavement meets the sky
But I never seem to reach it
No matter how I try
The sun is setting now
I'll find a way somehow
So far away from here
I need you with me, Dear
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
My heart is ever searching
For something it can't find
Beyond the gray horizon
In a dream I left behind
But aspirations fade
Under memories we've made
And waking up to see
The beauty next to me
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Every mile behind has led
To familiar places up ahead
Now I'm rounding the bend
But night has come, the sun is gone
So, Honey, leave a light on
'Cause I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home
Coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home

Can't Give Up

I wonder if the phoenix fears the fire
Come to make the old brand new
With his feet upon the pyre
Dare to see the journey through
Staring down my dreams
Makes a coward out of me
And my wounded soul
But I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
So I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time
Sometimes I feel like such a failure
Like it's all I ever do
Set my eye on something greater
But I lack the follow-through
Stuck here in-between
With this anchor 'round my feet
Starts to take its toll
But I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
So I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time
Oh, the path is a mystery
And nothing comes easily
That much I know
But, oh, the future is beckoning
And I'll face a reckoning
If I don't go
So I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
No I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time

Darlin', the seasons: they come, and they go
Dripping with color then buried in snow
Even the winter gives way in the end
Nothing that spring is unable to mend
Life keeps changin' the tune
But I'll keep singin' to you
The blaze may ebb and flow
But the embers ever glow
Oh, that spark will never die
That spark will never die
Darlin', we said it's 'til death do us part
There's no denyin' you captured my heart
Feels like forever in all the best ways
Still let's remember those easier days
'Cause life keeps changin' the tune
But I'll keep singin' to you
The blaze may ebb and flow
But the embers ever glow
Oh, that spark will never die
That spark will never die
Always and forever
We're in this life together
No matter where it goes
And Lord only knows
These years have been eventful
Still every day I'm thankful
That you're the one I chose
So the blaze may ebb and flow
But the embers ever glow
Oh, that spark will never die
That spark will never die
That spark will never die
That spark will never die

Give You the Stars

Tiny hands and wrinkled feet
You have made my world complete
Never knew what I could be
'Til you nuzzled into me
Brought another kind of love
Feels like echoes from above
A well of joy beyond belief
Just bouncin' on my knee
And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune
See those marks upon the wall
Tell me how'd you get so tall
Ain't no way it's been that long
But look at you, I must be wrong
You're so anxious to be grown
Soaring to the great unknown
But I'd rather keep you small
To catch you when you fall
And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune
Though patience fails at times
You'll always be mine
And I wanna give you the stars
While I keep you safe in my arms
But you gotta reach for the moon
So you can find your own tune
Tiny hands and wrinkled feet
You have made my world complete

Sing (Mom's Song)

When my soul is carried home
Borne upon my final breath
Though it aches you to the bone
As I find my final rest
Do not mourn like those who have no hope
You're not alone, and I'm okay
So learn to live and love and laugh again
And look to Him to find the way
And sing, sing, oh sing
Sing His praises, sing His praise
Just sing, sing, oh sing
Sing along to the beating of your heart
There's a certain kind of pain that ain't ever gonna leave you
Take it the Lord, and I know that He'll get you through
There's a certain kind of joy that'll be with you forever
Filter out the noise and just try to remember, remember
I'll see you in the mornin'
And all will be restored then
So take a little time to say Amen
And sing, sing, oh sing
Sing His praises, sing His praise
Just sing, sing, oh sing
Sing along to your beating heart
And sing, sing, oh sing
Sing His praises, sing His praise
Just sing, sing, oh sing
Sing along to the beating of your heart
Sing along to the beating of your heart
