VERSE 1 
I drew a picture of the sky 
On the back of a grocery store receipt 
Tried to fold it into wings 
But it fell down at my feet

PRECHORUS 
There’s a world inside my head 
No one else ever sees 
It’s under lock and key 
With my broke melodies
 
CHORUS 
But I still dream 
Of something clean 
A place where I can finally breathe 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
These paper wings can’t carry me

VERSE 2 
Coffee cold and letters burned 
I never learned how to say goodbye 
I was chasing tiny sparks 
That faded right before my eyes

PRECHORUS 
All the roads I thought were mine 
Led me where I can’t stay 
But I keep walking on 
Hoping I’ll find my way
 
CHORUS 
Cause I still dream 
Of something clean 
A place where I can finally breathe 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
These paper wings can’t carry me
 
And I still dream 
Of something clean 
A light that cuts through everything 
And I still hope 
Though I know 
My paper wings might never leave the street

Paper Wings

VERSE 1
What happens with a tender love that’s breaking
Will it ever find a proper way to mend
If it’s built on a foundation that’s shaking
Will it stand or all fall down again

PRECHORUS 
Remember when we took the road less traveled
We got lost until we found our way

CHORUS 
Can you feel that love is shining down
Please open up your heart and see
I can feel that love is shining down 
Because my aching heart believes 

VERSE 2
What happens to a dream when it awakens 
Does reality ever answer why
Hopes and fears that all our time has taken
Will success come through another try

PRECHORUS 
Surrendering will lose all of its meaning
If neither side is prepared to win

CHORUS 
Can you feel that love is shining down
Please open up your heart and see
I can feel that love is shining down 
Because my aching heart believes

There’s still much more for you and me 
Open up and see 

Love Is Shining Down

VERSE 1 
Morning finds me drifting 
Silent warnings 
Shadow me 
Slowly I’ve been shifting 
Bad beginnings 
Haunting me
 
PRE-CHORUS 
Will I ever break these chains?
 
CHORUS 
Take the first step 
Look with new eyes 
I can feel that grace is 
Pulling on my heart
Keep me steady
Get me through this 
Lead me past the wreckage 
Burning in the dark
 
VERSE 2 
Every thought is turning 
Past decisions 
Catching me 
Every lesson learning 
Small revisions 
Set me free
 
PRE-CHORUS 
Now I clearly see the way
 
CHORUS 
Take the first step 
Look with new eyes 
I can feel that grace is 
Pulling on my heart
Keep me steady
Get me through this 
Lead me past the wreckage 
Burning in the dark
 
BRIDGE 
Now the path is clearer 
And your love is nearer 
Pulling even further 
Lift me up
 
CHORUS
Take the first step 
Look with new eyes 
I can feel that grace is 
Filling up my heart
Hold me steady
Get me through this 
Lead me past the wreckage 
Showing me the spark

Come light up the dark

Grace Is Pulling On My Heart

VERSE 1
Chasing after midnight
All these butterflies are fighting
Pull me closer
Hearts are racing faster
Every step is getting bolder
I believe
 
Laughing through the moment
Every doubt is slowly broken
Clock is spinning
Hope keeps leaning closer
Every word just pulls me over
Tangled strings
And angels sing
 
CHORUS
Open your eyes
Run to the light
Feel that spark igniting
I might be wrong
But I’ll be strong
Keep this feeling driving
 
Fall into me
And honestly
Let the whole world see us
Against the grain
Let’s ride this train
 
VERSE 2
Dancing in the neon
Every glance is pulling me in
No more hiding
Hands are shaking softly
Every second feels so honest
Stay right here
 
Talking till the sunrise
Every laugh is feeling timeless
No more waiting
Love keeps getting louder
Every road keeps leading closer
To my dreams
And harmony
 
CHORUS
Open your eyes
Run to the light
Feel that spark igniting
I might be wrong
But I’ll be strong
Keep this feeling driving
 
Fall into me
And honestly
Let the whole world see us
Against the grain
Let’s ride this train
 
BRIDGE
Heaven only knows
Where the wind is blowing
I don’t wanna slow
Love as it is growing
People come and go
Where this train is going
Take the long way home
 
CHORUS
Open your eyes
Run to the light
Feel that spark igniting
I might be wrong
But I’ll be strong
Keep this feeling driving
 
Fall into me
And honestly
Let the whole world see us
Against the grain
Let’s ride this train
Home


Run To The Light

VERSE
Here wrestling with my inner demons 
A ghost of a life once lived 
My mind kept changing with the seasons 
A constant derivative 

Dysfunction guided dispositions
Was running around half dead 
A goal without its motivation 
A word that remained unsaid 

CHORUS 
Love I’m falling down on my knees 
Love I’m ready now to believe 

VERSE 2
The razor’s edge is pretty dull now 
But it still cuts right through 
Cause time don’t wait for tomorrow 
Each day comes with a path to choose 

BRIDGE 
When trouble comes to punch me in the mouth 
With fear and doubt 
This loving grace will guide me safe and sound

CHORUS 
Love I’m falling down on my knees 
Love I’m ready now to believe 
Love I’m falling down on my knees 
Love I’m ready now to believe 
I believe in love 

Love I’m Ready Now To Believe
