Good Ol' Days 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I’m sick of hearing that the good ol’ days are gone ‘Cause someday they’ll sing about these days in a song It’s how you see it It’s how you feel it It’s how you take it all in It’s how you live it It’s how you touch it It’s how you breath in all in I fear that love will love my fear There is no place I’d rather be than here ‘Cause I'm not looking for tomorrow’s prayers Yesterday is not for me to compare I’m sick of hearing that those good ol’ days are gone ‘Cause someday they’ll sing about these days in a song It’s how you see it It’s how you feel it It’s how you take it all in It’s how you live it It’s how you touch it It’s how you breath in all in ‘Cause there is no madness that can change the way things are I choose to witness instead of wishing on the stars Why search for words that can never explain And I feel lucky to feel what remains I’m sick of hearing that those good ol’ days are gone ‘Cause someday they’ll sing about these days in a song It’s how you see it It’s how you feel it It’s how you take it all in It’s how you live it It’s how you touch it It’s how you breath in all in

Criticized Wonder 06:08
lyrics

God is asking too much from me, from me Well I don't blame my mother for running like she did It’s just a part of my story that they always hid My father never took the time to know me well But they say God choose this story but I got another story to tell My husband is just another follower like the rest Never dawns on him to wonder what it is that I like best So please dear madam can you take the time to teach me the keys It’s the prettiest thing I've heard, makes life worth living to me ‘Cause I won’t be a victim of criticized wonder Criticized wonder Nothing scares me now and ain’t no way I’m turning back For the ones that love me most, to go and turn their backs just like that And you can read me all your scriptures, hell you can scream them out loud But no one’s going to tell me what it is that I am allowed No ‘cause I won’t be a victim of criticized wonder Criticized wonder Now I'm going to sing this song, the only song I’ve ever know As I used to watch my Bubbe, cry and listen alone And they say God choose this story but I got another story to tell And if you can't accept that, well I guess I’ll say fare thee well ‘Cause I won’t be a victim of criticized wonder Criticized wonder

Present Wonder 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Well I followed you to the meadow But we both know there was no use in that It was a frantic search for a purpose Can’t purchase feathers for your hat I drove down to where you were laying Some days I don’t trust my own eyes There’s a robin in the blossoms A failing phantom of disguise So take a deep breath of the lilies And you can blow those candles out I better loosen up my grip I’ll even let go of the handles now I’m too tired to tow the the wagon In fact I’m scared to see what's there I dip my toes in the water and I question why I was scared And there’s a message written in the sand You better hold that bandage down And you take what is convenient And you let go what has vanished now At the end are we together? Is there still an ocean of time Are there challenges to uncover? I think about it all the time Lately I’ve been doing some wondering If we’re destined for the dirt What's the point of all this suffering Why do we hold the thoughts that hurt Maybe I’m taking it too seriously Maybe there’s signs that point the way I’m living in the hope of tomorrow Instead of living it all today Now I’m running without the thought Of where my feet are going I throw a sail up in the air No care of where the wind is blowing Used to hit rewind and fantasie Like it could be played back again I’d look into the scope of tomorrow And wonder when it will all begin I’m not counting the days before the rain I gonna feed the flowers in my eyes Now be brave and put your hand in mine It might even take you by surprise I‘m not holding up the views of others Nothing I could do to change their minds And not a moment will be wasted I’m gonna love every moment she provides

Be There 02:55
lyrics

Ring you up in the middle of the night I guess we all just want to feel wanted My mind is tired but I feel alright As I visit the places that we haunted Just tug the string, I won’t feel the need to stray Compare your life to pictures of hypocrites You see yourself a little different these days I’m just another loser, but I know it We all want to be loved Can we ever get enough? Too much time being judged When life is tough enough I will always here for you Your heart has been bruised, beaten and broken Sometimes I hate myself for the things that I do Go sleepless nights to hear your words spoken I hear you laugh but we both know it's true We all want to be loved Can we ever get enough Too much time being judged When life is tough enough I will always here for you
