Half the Girl Verse 1: Winter finds you A world left behind you Street lights remind you of the shadow that walked beside you So Long... For so long Verse 2: Her outstretched arms his empty eyes She'll reach for him but he's numb inside She gave herself she gave her life But the hand she held could not hold her tight Let Go...Let Go Chorus: She said, "It feels like we belong together and it feels like we'd go on forever" But the tears will drip from her fingertips As she wipes her eyes and bites her lip She said, "Who will take what's left of me, Half the girl I used to be Without you love all I've got left is me" Verse 3: She's wanting more she's waiting for The one she loves to walk through the door She gave herself oh she gave her life But the hand she held could not hold her tight Let Go... Let Go Chorus 2: She said, "It feels like we belong together and it feels like we'd go on forever" But the tears will drip from her fingertips As she wipes her eyes and bites her lip The waking up is the hardest part Oh she built her world around his heart She said, "Who will take what's left of me, Half the girl I used to be Without you love all I've got left is me All I've got left is me All I've got left is me"

A Higher Place Verse 1: Making a list of the things I’ve done Just a glimpse of who I’ve become Who I’ve been and who I’d like to be I’ve walked through fire and I’ve stood in the rain I’ve shed my skin and I’ve changed my name Now everything that you need is all I want to be Chorus: I’ll be there when all your stars fade out Be there when your faith comes crashing down When you lose a fire you can’t replace I’ll carry you there, I’ll take you away Take me to a higher place Verse 2: Making a wish on every star Wondering how you fell so far You’re reaching out for any hand to hold You reach for love You reach for truth You cry out for the days of youth You’re in the warmth of the sun but you’re still growing cold Chorus: Bridge: My world is breaking down (Take me to a higher place) My head is filled with doubt (Take me to a higher place) Take me to a higher place…

Easy to Love 03:21
Easy to Love Verse 1: These city light shine down on me Like stars they appear to guide me Into the eyes of a girl walk blindly You’ve been searching and there you find me Easy to Love Verse 2: I’m taking my time go slowly Still remember how I felt so lonely You take me into your arms and hold me Make me feel like I’m the only one So Easy to Love Chorus: I got a little more faith this time And I can’t keep you off my mind…no Now I’m laughing just because The feeling doesn’t leave me baby oh you’re just so Easy to Love Verse 3: Sounds funny but its like you knew me Try to hide it but you see right through me Now I’m leaving these fears behind me I’ll make you feel like you’re the only one So Easy to Love Chorus: Same Bridge: Love….. So Easy to Love Chorus: Same Out: So easy baby….

Names (free) 04:00
Names Verse 1: Take a step Let the light guide you home Go in peace Go with love get back home ‘Cause all you leave behind is remembered in your names Engraved in the memory of a world that begs for change We search for answers and we search for those to blame But we are the answers And this is a time for change Verse 2: Don’t look back Don’t be scared you’re not alone So take your soul But leave your names carved in stone (that’s all we have) To lay your dreams to rest as we hang our heads in shame Now the world cries out for peace but all we hear is rage They stole your innocence but they could not take your names This is a time for answers This is a time for change This is a time for change… Verse 3: Take a step Let the light guide you home Rest in peace Rest in love you’re not alone All you leave behind is remembered in your names Carved in the sand and stone of a world that begs for change We search for comfort as the tears fall down like rain Be we have the answers (remembered in your names) A time for answers (remembered in your names) We are the answer And this is a time for change
