02 Take Me Home
Words and music: Andrew Ramsey, Dan Needham and John Schlitt He thought he'd make it He was ready now to take control Took his daddy's money Took his freedom and he walked out the door Who can say what life will bring End up as a pawn or a mighty king Now you find the things you wanted Are the things that cost you your soul Your life ain't over when the money runs out Just say the words, let your spirit cry out Take me home - I've been away so long Take me home - I can see I was wrong To keep on living like this life I live Won't cost me at all I wish I knew then what I know now Cause it caused me to fall There's a time when you realize There must be something better than this hollow life Sometimes the grass, it isn't greener on the other side My life ain't over - I'm just turning around I heard the word and my spirit cried out Take me home - I've been away so long Take me home - I can see I was wrong Take me home (I was wrong) - It's no one's fault but my own Take me home - I want to go back home I want to thank you, thank you for the second chances Cause every time I turn away you understand And if it wasn't for your love I'd never make it Cause now I stand here as a healed but broken man |
03 Love Won't Leave Me Alone
Words and music: Ed Cash and Dan Needham You got what I need Real love - how can it be Deep down or up high Every day and every night Wherever I go, whatever I see You were there surrounding me From my first breath to my last Love won't leave me alone Leave me alone, I said, leave me alone Love won't leave me alone Leave me alone here Way deep down in the soul All that I know, I know All that I know is that Love won't leave me alone I follow, You lead To the mountain from the valley Don't leave me where I am Got my eyes on the Promised Land Wherever I go, whatever I see I need You there surrounding me From the cradle to the grave From the cradle to the grave |
04 One Of These Days
Words and music: Dan Needham Outside it is getting warm People finding truth, something worth fighting for One word and a flame ignites Burning down the walls, lighting up the night Who knew, it'd come One of these days Sometimes you can wait too long And the life you live makes you vulnerable How long till we stand and fight? Till - either 'til (for until) or till the hunger grows and the pain is right? It all will change One of these days It all will change When will truth be the truth again? When will hope not fade away? When will change ever come to an end? I wonder if today Is one of these days? Long ways from paradise Even longer still when you realize How much did it slip away When we turned our heads Looked the other way But now we have to take it back And now we don't have to wonder One of these days with my eyes wide open One of these days gonna take a stand How long till we stand and fight? Till the hunger grows and the pain is right? |
05 Faith And Freedom
Words and music: Ian Eskelin and Dan Needham I'm an American Red, White and Blue And I'm a citizen Of this world and of heaven Some things were meant to be together I believe in faith and freedom God and country too I believe with faith and freedom We're gonna make it through They try to knock us down But we will stand and fight It's time to show them how Truth can never be divided We have strength when we're united We gotta rise up We gotta stay strong Cause everything's on the line We gotta rise up We gotta stay strong To save our way of life We gotta rise up We gotta stay strong We gotta stand up Cause everything's on the line We gotta rise up We gotta stay strong We gotta stand up To save our way of life Don't lose your freedom Let's talk about faith |
06 End Of Fear
Words and music: Ian Eskelin and Dan Needham Don't be afraid When I turn on my TV The whole world's falling apart I'm reading today's headlines It's like taking a walk in the dark No matter how it all may seem I won't let it get to me This is the end of fear This is the end of my fear I'm learning how to let it go I'm giving You control This is the end of fear This is the end of my fear But now I walk in freedom Trusting who You are You make the biggest of the biggest problems Suddenly seem small I don't have to be afraid I hear You when You say This is the end of fear He said 'don't be afraid' With every end there's a beginning And this is where I start At the end of fear... I'm giving all of my control I'm learning how to let it go You've given me more than I know End of my fear Say goodbye to your fear |
07 Where I Wanna Be
Words and music: Dan Needham, Scott Faircloff and John Schlitt Behind this old white picket fence Are some things we need to mend With something more than clever words and alibis While some have tried with all their might To take the wrongs and make them right Without Love it can never change And every time we try will only be in vain If love could set the world on fire What would it burn away What would remain Would it build a bridge between us? If love would rain for forty days Would it wash away the pain Of bitter days and all the lies that came between us? And conquer all the fears in me That's where I wanna be And now we're here at river's edge We knew we'd be back here again Face to face with all the demons in our past And if we lay down all our pride We can reach the other side And watch the future come alive And light a flame to all our hopes and dreams inside Cause Love can do no wrong And Love will find a way Just when you think your world is falling down Love is the one thing that remains |
08 Hope That Saves The World
Words and music: Dan Needham and John Schlitt Raised on Hollywood Fast life, looking good Left right, right wrong Don't you see what's going on? Good man, bad man What's the difference in the end? We're incomplete Blinded with our eyes wide open Why can't we see You're the hope That we need You lit the stars You spun the earth You gave us life So tell me why can't we see You're the hope that saves the world Put our faith in presidents Powerball and weathermen Legislate a lottery Then promise all a sunny day Now the clouds are in the sky And once again we're asking why We're incomplete Always searching for the greater cause |
09 Run
Words and music: Gene Miller, Dan Needham and John Schlitt No use crying, leave your tears at the door You keep buying what they sold you before You won't change it But you can't take it no more... no more Look out - maybe you're beginning to see Deep down you know about the way it should be And I don't need to tell ya Fear can be so captivating You are fine Just let go By this time You should know Run, you can run To the light at the end of the way Run, will you run Run from the things that remind you Things that will bind you You've got to leave it behind No use dying - you've got living to do You keep trying but it's not up to you A voice is calling A hand to pull your through... a hand to pull you through All the pain That you've known No more shame Let it go Life - is the choices we make And God knows where they'll take us to So right now I will follow the light And I trust it will lead me on Lead me on Run, you can run To the light at the end of the way Run, when you run Run from the things that remind you again |
10 The Gift (Dorla's Song)
Words and music: Andrew Ramsey, Dan Needham and John Schlitt We were kids, we were young She was pretty, I was dumb - new love Through the years, good and bad Never knew just what I had - true love Busy chasing all my selfish dreams She saw something else I couldn't see She picks me up when I fall apart She's the only fire that warms my heart It's a blessing every day I get to see her face I could never ever ask for more than this She is such gift Thank You for the gift Facing fears every day She always knows just what to say - with love Finding faith, hand in hand She makes me a better man - through love In a world where trust is hard to find Can't believe I get to call her mine I could thank You for so many things The life I've lived, the things I've seen But if I had to choose I'd throw all away Cause the greatest gift You've given me Is standing right in front of me She's the answer to every prayer I've ever prayed She is such a gift Lord, thank You for the gift |
11 The Cross Remains
Words and music: Dan Needham and John Schlitt Though the hardest heart of men Try to lead us to an end We may fall, still our hope remains When the darkness turns to light When the flames begin to die Through the smoke the cross remains It is time to act beyond our good intentions Pushing back no matter what the cost We won't let them build an altar on our sorrow There'll be no laughing at our scars They're now a part of who we are Though there's tension in the air Sometimes more than we can bear Still we find our hope remains Yet the story stays the same With different chapters, different names Through it all the cross remains We're beginning now to see The sacrifice of being free Remember, it's not what they say Just watch what they do The evidence has fallen down Right in front of you It's right in front of you Through the smoke Through the tears Through so many years The cross remains When the darkness turns to light When the flames begin to die The cross remains Though there's tension in the air Sometimes more than we can bear Through it all the cross remains |
