The Other Side

At the edge of the ledge
you stand on is a view
A chance to surpass
and leave the life that you knew
Over the edge is world full of green
so many pieces of life you've only seen
from a distance
casting lots
throwing wishes to the wind
now your life can begin
But you're afriad and your scared
cause your scarred heart's unprepared
this side ripped it from your chest
and threw it down
you watch tears, salty and blessed
splash to the ground

I need this
I need this life I've never had
I'm alone on this side
Eyes black
wishing I could have died
what is this place
who is that face
Beyond this ledge
On the other side
Will I see Death
or will I come face to face with Love
and Light

Is life on that side you wonder
You want to reach out but afraid to blunder
you pull back your soul
and your sinking under
Hear him call you, sister, brother
His arms are open wide
He'll carry you to the other side
if your ready to be alive
the wind might cut your face
but you'll never be safe
until your deep within His arms
close to His heart
and He'll never tear you apart

LoveSong

You're beginning to see, yeah
there's a sky above
Earth is under your feet, yeah
and you might be loved

Just that hope
extends the end of your rope
maybe you don't have to be alone

Cause your eyes have been so dark
all this time
Hidden from you was the truth
Now see the Light
These chains just might break
any day now
so hold on tight
Your eyes were so dark
but the beat in your heart
Tells you the lovesong of life

Yeah theres a song you've gotta echo
and every time you breath
embrace His covering
and let go
Cause every beat of your heart
is a shot in the dark
He's whispering something
Come on, come alive
Put your hands in my wounds
Come see my torn side
The song is playing out inside your veins
Just let go of this world
and stop playing games!
