MAKE IT HOME

I’ve been on a great adventure
Climbing trees and making plans 
Skimming stones across the water
Just to see if they can reach the land

I’ve been jumping over fences
Bloodied knees on solid ground
Damming streams with bits and pieces
Pile it up and watch it tumble down

And I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’ll make it home
I’ll make it home

I’ve been going on a bear hunt
Wearing holes in all my jeans
Hitting targets with a pine cone
Tryna find out who I’m meant to be

But I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’ll make it home

Know no matter where I roam
I will shelter you from the storm
Standing by your side when the lights go out
When the lights go out

I’ve been on a great adventure
Heading down this dusty road 
I’ve come all this way
But I’ll keep you safe
No, you’ll never be alone 

Cause I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’m singing ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 
Don’t you worry I will make it home
I’ll make it home
I’ll make it home
I’ll make it home
I’ll make it home

ONE MORE STEP

I’ve been waging a war in the darkness 
Charging like a cavalier
And waving a flag with a plan of attack 
To make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

With the weight of the world on my shoulders
God, I hope the greener grass is near
‘Cause I’ve burned every bridge, saying “right, this is it!” 
Time to make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?
The only one?
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?

Take me somewhere with a foreign tongue 
And maybe then I’ll know my life’s begun, oh

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, to leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
I never see the sun, but I dream of breaking through the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

SAIL AWAY

I don’t know if I will run aground
When the waves are tall enough to touch the clouds
I don’t know if I can brave the swell
When the world is spinning out of sync, like a drunken carousel

But love is all I need
Come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need

I don’t know why I am colour blind
Just a broken bulb that flickers black to white
But you’re drawing a rainbow out of me
When I’m fading in and out again, fading in and out again

Love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
When the waves are tall enough to touch the clouds
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
When I’m fading in and out again
Circling the drain and I can’t get out
I can’t get out

Love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me

Sail Away

Lost in Love

Pieces

They Are You


I used to be an older man
Oh god when did i get so young
I had a tremor in both hands
and ashes in my lungs

Is that my daughter speaking
I’d like to talk to my son
They tell me i’ve been dreaming
My life has just begun

But i once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other

In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother

I was older then
Back when i was your man

I caught myself looking for
Those old boots beside my door
That you gave me
In a place so far away

They were all worn in
The sole was getting thin
And full of holes
But i loved them anyway

Where are you now my darling
Do the children know i’m gone
Can you hear my singing 
Or did i only know you in a song

But I once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other

In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother

I was older then
Back when i was your man

(interlude)

I once was a man
I once was a father
And i could cook you dinner like no other

In our house in the country
With a pocket full of dollars
And you couldn’t have been a better mother

I was older then
Back when i was your man


I Once Was A Man

God Only Knows

•Song Details
This song reimagines the Lord’s Prayer as the cry of a heart in sorrow. It’s about praying through tears, asking for mercy, and finding hope in God’s eternal glory.

⸻

[Verse 1]
Our Father in Heaven, I whisper Your name,
The silence surrounds me, I’m drowning in pain.
Your kingdom come, though I’m broken inside,
I cling to Your mercy, my only guide.

⸻

[Chorus]
Forever Yours is the kingdom,
Forever Yours is the power.
Forever Yours is the glory,
Hear my broken prayer tonight… Amen.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Give me this day, though I feel undone,
The battles I’ve faced, the storms I’ve run.
Forgive all my failures, I’ve stumbled again,
Deliver me, Father, my Savior, my Friend.

⸻

[Chorus]
Forever Yours is the kingdom,
Forever Yours is the power.
Forever Yours is the glory,
Even through tears… Amen.

⸻

[Bridge]
Father, I fall to my knees tonight,
Through every tear, I still see Your light.
When hope feels gone, and I’m all alone,
I still call Heaven… please bring me home.

⸻

[Final Chorus]
Forever Yours is the kingdom,
Forever Yours is the power.
Forever Yours is the glory,
Now and forever… Amen.

———

Sometimes a song is more than music, it’s a message. Share this to remind someone that God’s love surrounds them. ❤️
