Falling

by Sarah Kallies

1.
Lights illuminate the night, like a thousand angles bright Like a mirror off the water, calling sons and daughters To a place where glory reigns, a promised land called grace To sleep in a bed of peace, walking with saints in dreams Chorus We will go under the water, we will pass over the clouds We will strain through the fire but we'll get there somehow Forgetting what is behind us we will cry out his name Beyond the dreams of the Jordan we will never be the same How I long to see your face, to disappear without a trace We are pilgrims on a voyage, we are nomads bleeding courage Pressing onto what's ahead, into water we will tread Oh I know I'll touch your face on the day I reach that place Chorus Lights illuminate the night like a thousand angels bright

Chorus Falling, falling, falling into you In the silent reserves of my selfish existence I watched myself falling away from you This distance cannot erase my outstretched hands This desperate reach revealing my scars and wounds Despite myself my soul is hostage in your gentle hands Despite myself my burdens never drown this love I have Even as I was falling so far away from view I never realized all the time that I was Chorus The way your eyes watch me cross a room Your touch never far from the small of my back Crippled by the posture of my soul You quietly patiently restore what I lack Despite myself my soul is hostage in your gentle hands Despite myself my burdens never drown this love I have Even as I was falling so far away from view I never realized all the time that I was Chorus

Silence and patience in time These are not always qualities of mine To trip, to fall down To these things I do hold a crown Suffering condemnation When shame shuts out grace and love Question how could this tattered life shine When my walk reflects a field of mines Chorus To be the only child, you love me even still To be the only child, broken, willing Selfish ambition crowds my mind Mindless chatter occupies my time Concerned with hypocrisy around More distracting this ocean of sin surrounds What need have I of eyes when my sight is nearly blind What need have I of speech When my thoughtless tongue serves the enemy Chorus Bridge But if you were without flaw who would need the cross All the pain of Calvary would be an empty cost Perfect I will hardly ever be but I'm pardoned just the same Knowledge no matter the fall, child of God is my chosen name

A breath away from the color of night Warm on my skin the setting of summers sleep Awaiting the birth of the cool October moon An endless chase makes way for tomorrows view Chorus There's something about this routine Dreams they come and lovers go And still you're here right next to me I've been down this road before Clumsy as I make my way You level my walls and set me free You set me free Winding the path, it twists and it turns Sanity forgotten, I seek uncharted ground Inside this vase of pride, my roots suffocating Desiring to break free this monotony and feel God Chorus Trapped inside these confines of carnal thought Sad these walls are all that surround You love me none the less, undeserved grace So by your hands I will escape and grow Chorus
5.
Like thunder you rolled in so I followed close behind Like lightning you struck hard and still I bought your lies The rain, it fell so hard I thought I'd never get dry You blew like a hard wind and you pushed me aside Chorus I'm no longer that girl I'm no longer that girl I'm stronger from all that I've learned I'm no longer that girl Had to get a little dirty to feel the freedom of coming cleaning I don't regret where I've been, no, some bad decisions, some naive And though I've been burned I'm still gonna dream Cause every time that it storms I hear myself repeat Chorus Bridge If every dark cloud has a silver lining It's only because the sun's still shining I've always hidden from the thunder and the rain Chorus

Waiting by the water watching the waves break Reminded of the times lost in loves jaded wake So you built that mote around the border of your heart With fear and every window and locks on all the doors Chorus In your prison, safe but lost You have made my love the cost Take a breath, look around Plain to see baby, you were wrong, you were wrong They say it's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all But they never walked in your shoes or felt the break of your fall So you keep watch everyday to guard from your past Careful not to risk the pain that letting go can chance Bridge All these stones have skipped away You assume I'll be the same There's not much that's left to say I'm waiting for a heart your mind can't change You keep calling I oblige You leave me waiting in the cold outside You keep calling I oblige I might not be here when you decide All these stones have skipped away You assume I'll be the same There's not much that's left to say I'm waiting for a heart your mind can't break Cause you were wrong

Here And Now 03:54
A new page, a new song, searching for a reason to sing My pen fading, my mind empty, the spark of my life you bring You know my mind, you see my life, you love my every breath Despite the bad, outside the good you love my every step Chorus Right here and right now is enough Right here and now I'm within your love Right here and right now How can i give you back the nights you did not sleep To be the strength that I lost and help me find some peace I've played the part, I've worn the mask to hide the hurt inside But you broke through all the pain and dried the tears I've cried Chorus
