The Ghost

Remember the time when I was a ghost?
I left my body for a little while
Floated around from coast to coast
And I was not me for a little while
Oh, the blessed relief of silence
The refuge of being alone
The wonderful weightless feeling
Of refusing to answer the phone
I remember the time when I missed you the most
I wanted to hold you and beg forgiveness
You're what I long for when I long for home
You deserve better than the wreck I've been
Oh, your love is the breath of life
And my shame it cuts me like a knife
You deserve so much better than
Living this haunted life
I swear I'm done being a ghost
Put my body back on like a coat
There's needles and pins all over my skin
But I'll do anything, I'll do anything
There's needles and pins all over my skin
But I'll do anything, I'll do anything
Into my body, I return
Oh, how it aches
Oh, how it burns
Into my body, I return
Oh, how it aches
Oh, how it burns
Into my body, I return
Oh, how it aches
Oh, how it burns
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Home to you

Grace
02:56

Behold, I am small
I have no answers, none at all
Never saw the morning stars in bloom
Didn't see the sea burst from the womb
Don't know why and I don't know how
Something unlocked, something allowed
Instead of chaos, I see grace
Instead of strangers, I see your face
Everything is grace
All the fathers unafraid
Everything is grace
Mothers resting in the shade
Everything is grace
All the sisters serenade
Everything is grace
Brothers in the ocean wade
Everything is grace
Who am I?
Oh, who am I?
Everything is grace
In the springtime say hello
Everything is grace
In the summer let it grow
Everything is grace
In the autumn winds will blow
Everything is grace
In the winter let it go
Everything is grace

You Said Love

Against the odds
The juggernaut
Wrestle with God
You never stop
You never stop
All night you fought
Found what you sought
Earned what you got
Through the onslaught
For the ones you love
For the ones you love
You never stop
You said
You'd keep climbing out
From all the way down
You'd keep climbing out
You promised
You'd keep climbing out
When I asked you how
You keep climbing out
You said love
Untangling knots
Not getting caught
An Argonaut
Your journey long
Your journey long
Your journey frought
What you were taught
Never forgot
No matter what
For the ones you love
For the ones you love
You never stop
You said
You'd keep climbing out
From all the way down
You'd keep climbing out
You promised
You'd keep climbing out
When I asked you how
You keep climbing out
You said
You'd keep climbing out
From all the way down
You'd keep climbing out
You promised
You'd keep climbing out
When I asked you how
You keep climbing out
You said love
Love

Seeing the Circle

I have learned gentleness
I have learned gentleness
The world is so harsh
And it left me with scars
Through it all, I learned gentleness
I see what you're going through
I see you, I see you
What happened to you
It happened to me too
So I'll treat you with gentleness
I've built up my endurance
I've built up my endurance
The world is so harsh
Almost tore me apart
But I've built up my endurance
I see that you want to quit
I see that you're done with it
See, what happened to you
It happened to me too
So I'll help you build endurance
Pain turned into wisdom
My pain turned into wisdom
The world is unkind
Almost lost my damn mind
But my pain has become wisdom
I hear it all feeding back
No one knows how to deal with that
But what happened to you
It happened to me too
So I'll speak to you some wisdom
I'm lit with the fire of hope
Lit up with the fire of hope
The world is so harsh
Almost ripped out my heart
But I'm lit up with the fire of hope
I see that you're burning out
I see that you're filled with doubt
But what happened to you
It happened to me too
Let's rekindle your fire of hope
