DREAM
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
Is this a dream why do I hear melodies
All around like the majesty of orchestra
Oh I want to know

VERSE 2
Is this a dream why I do see images
Of a bright and optimistic future
Will you take me there, take me there

BRIDGE
Why should I be scared
Of things that I have seen but not lived
Sobering thoughts that crush
My sense of wonder

CLIMB
Where’s the marvellous things of wonder
How can I believe they’re real

REFRAIN
Deep within is a dream too great for me to fathom
Will you take me there again I want you
Here in this place where no limits
Constrain the things that happen
Oh will I see you there

TO BE BRAVE
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE
Where have I been and where am I going
With all I've seen and claim to know
Who am I now and what am I showing
To find my way my reason to be

CHORUS
And it will be tough
It's not meant to be easy
But it will be worth it
So it's time to be brave

VERSE 2
The world surrounds and I'm so small
Times are changing and so am I
Still I hold on to who I am
And find myself amid the chaos

CHORUS 2
Yeah it will be rough
It wasn't meant to be easy
So I'll make it worth it
Now it's time to be brave

BRIDGE
Even in my fear
I will still step out into the night
If I cannot see or hear
I want you to know
I have chosen to be brave

BRIDGE 2
To be brave
To be brave
No matter what may come
I will still hold on

**Apologies for the crackles, there's some technical glitches going on with my setup I haven't sorted yet.. Also used more auto-tune than usual because it was being a real pain to record.

HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
Covered in grace and love
Reaching beyond all expectation
Jesus You’re more than enough
And our souls can’t keep it in

CHORUS
All of the Earth cries holy
You are worthy God, You alone
Join with the angels singing
Hallelujah, to the Lamb

VERSE 2
Teach us to hear Your voice
Led by Your truth and Holy Spirit
Break down our pride so foolish
Let all glory be to You

BRIDGE
For You came to seek the lost
And to heal the broken heart
To restore and set us free
Giving all our life away
We bow humbly at Your feet
Found in grace and moved by love

Hallelujah To The Lamb

SCARS
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
Is it worth the time
All the constant disappointment
Have I made a mark
Or has everything been pointless

CHORUS
I need a reason
To believe in something more
To mend my scars

VERSE 2
Is it worth the pain
All the meaningless words and platitudes
Have I lost my way
Or has everything been pointless

CHORUS
I need a reason
To believe in something more
To mend my scars

BRIDGE
I am missing something crucial
Deep inside my very being
Help me find it I am searching
Shine a light and let me see

CHORUS
I need a reason
To believe in something more
To mend my scars

I HAVE MADE IT
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
Another year is over
What can I say
My hopes and dreams aside
I have made it

VERSE 2
It’s not always easy
But trials prove my strength
Through the good and the bad
I have made it

CHORUS
Moving on I will follow this life to the ends of the earth
Holding on to the things that make me who I am
And I won’t be afraid to let go or to grow through my hurt
Just as long as I’m true to myself all my days

VERSE 3
Even when I’m lonely
Or surrounded by my friends
Resounding over all
I have made it

CHORUS
Moving on I will follow this life to the ends of the earth
Holding on to the things that make me who I am
And I won’t be afraid to let go or to grow through my hurt
Just as long as I’m true to myself all my days

BRIDGE
Everything around me may change
But that doesn’t mean I have to lose who I am
Yet some things around me will stay
But that doesn’t mean I cannot grow in myself

VERSE 4
Another year is beckoning
What will it hold
Each step before another
I will make it

WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
I cannot know the reason
All things happen
Within control and out of it
These things happen

PRE-CHORUS
All I need to know is everything will be okay
All I need to know is everything will be okay

CHORUS
And what keeps me alive is my hope
Through the darkest of storms I hold on
And whenever I fret I remember
That the calm is not far from my heart

VERSE 2
I cannot have the answer
To every question
With limitations I must live
With these questions

BRIDGE
And ever and ever my heart will remember
The peace and calm of the moment
And ever and ever my soul will hold on
To the love of the moment

What Keeps Me Alive - Aaron Hines

TO BELIEVE
Words & Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
Where does my heart belong
Who in the world could know
Time does not wait for one
So what am I waiting for

CHORUS
Memories sparking inside of my mind
My mind can not decide
But I will carry on
Deep soul contusions confusing my eyes
My eyes they do not see
But still heart my believes

VERSE 2
Moments that pass like wind
Leaving a trail of leaves
Not every one will last
Buried beneath the trees

BRIDGE
To believe, to believe
There’s something better than I’ve seen
To believe, to believe
Though I am bruised I will heal

MY TRUE SELF
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
I must let go
Of all the things I can't control
And make peace with the true essence
Deep inside my being
My true self

VERSE 2
And all I've learned
Through troubled times and in the hurt
I maintain the most important thing
Is that I'm here
And I'm me

REFRAIN
And all the darkness
Will slowly fade away
And in its place I
Find freedom for my heart and mind

BRIDGE
And now the sun will shine again
Revealing there's a reason I'm still here

ENDING
So I let go
Of all the things I can't control
And make peace with the true essence
Deep inside my being
My true self

TOGETHER (WE ARE STRONGER)
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
I never said that I was perfect
So don't get mad if I can't do it
Just look around at everyone else
And tell me who can stand alone

CHORUS
Together all our weakness is covered in strength
And the weight that would crush us is carried with ease
Together, together
We are stronger as one

VERSE 2
I never thought that I was all that
So I'm not sure where that's coming from
Yes solitude has value for sure
But I can't live this life alone

CHORUS 2
Together all our weakness is covered in strength
And the weight that would crush us is carried with ease
Together, together
We are stronger as one
Together there is hope when our footing is lost
And the path seems impossible we can hold fast
Together, together
We are stronger as one

BRIDGE
And when I think of all
The time I spent alone
I won't despise the loss
Because I've found so much more

Together (We Are Stronger) - Aaron Hines

WHEN TIME FLOWS
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE
When what is to come is coloured by what I’ve seen
When good times I’ve had and people I’ve known are lost in time
What peace could be found reflecting on all that’s gone
I’m turning away, I’m not going back to those whens

CHORUS
When I was lost, when I was afraid
Feeling alone, feeling so betrayed
Could it be true, should I be ashamed
All that I know is

TAG
I’m here when time flows
To see where life goes

BRIDGE
And when I look to the future my heart overflows
Because my past cannot keep me from where I will go
And when my future has passed I’ll remember this song
Because I’m no longer trapped in that place, in that when

When Time Flows - Aaron Hines

GOD MAKE ME MORE LIKE YOU
Words and Music by Aaron Hines

VERSE 1
These uncertain times
The dark of the night
When lies parade with pride
And truth is made quiet

PRE-CHORUS
O come holy light
Make the evil hide

CHORUS 1
Save us from ourselves O God
We bow to You alone
At the Throne of Jesus Christ
The One, the King of Life

VERSE 2
A time of idols
Ideals and virtues
But blind to suffering
And hate thought to be love

CHORUS 2
Come destroy our foolish pride
Silence our evil tongues
Set our devotion on You
The One, the King of Life

BRIDGE
All idols will bow
Empty virtues will fall
Before the might and power of God
All human wisdom
Ideologies and thrones
Are as dust before Almighty God

TAG
You alone are righteous
You alone are true
God make me more like You
