Soar

V
Drowning
In this sea of chaos
Trying to swim above the crowds
Trying to reach up for the clouds

V2
Blinded
Its so hard to see
Nobody hears me when I cry
Just trying to get up to the sky

CH
Escape the rush
Escape the sound
Break the chains
That hold me down
To be free
To just be me
Not what they
All expect me to be
Wanna soar

V3
Marked
The subtley tear at your soul
There must be a better dream out there
There's gotta be someone who will dare

CH
Escape the rush
Escape the sound
Break the chains
That hold me down
To be free
To just be me
Not what they
All expect me to be
Wanna soar

B
While others keep
Their feet to the ground
I won't be afraid to defy
To fly

CH
Escape the rush
Escape the sound
Break the chains
That hold me down
To be free
To just be me
Not what they
All expect me to be
Gonna soar

Stay

V
So hard
Don't understand
Trying to make it
But I dont think I can
I can't conquer this fight
I need Your light

Ch
Wrap your loving arms around me
Stay near
I need you to guide me
No one else can comfort me
Like you
When I'm afraid
You calm my fears
Whenever I'm sad
You dry my tears
So please stay here with me

V2
So scared
So low
Can't decide
Dont know where to go
Dont know where to turn
When will I learn?

Ch
Wrap your loving arms around me
Stay near
I need you to guide me
No one else can comfort me
Like you
When I'm afraid
You calm my fears
Whenever I'm sad
You dry my tears
So please stay here with me

B
Have patience with me
Im still growing
Im still learning
Learning to say
Without a doubt
"Thy will be done"
So please just

Ch
Wrap your loving arms around me
Stay near
I need you to guide me
No one else can comfort me
Like you
When I'm afraid
You calm my fears
Whenever I'm sad
You dry my tears
So please stay here with me

A Song for Grandpa

V
It's funny how
After all this time
It still feels like yesterday
When you would gather me
In your arms
You would laugh
And kiss my cheek.
Say "I love you"

V2
It's funny how
Though you're not here
Somehow
I still feel you near
And even though
It's been a while
I still see your
Infectious smile.
Hear your laugh

B
And I wish you could see the woman
Your little girl is now.
I hope that you are proud.

V3
I don't think
I'll quite understand
Why you had to leave so soon
Or why couldn't we have
Just a little more time
But that's all right
Cuz I know
What you're doing now
Is right

And I cant wait
To be in your arms
Again

Mix with the Rain

v
splashing
and crashing
and passing
and hitting
going on by
like theres no
tomorrow
going on by
as i run
and i try
to be heard


v2
pit
and a patting
drip
and a dropping
it keeps coming down
hard on my face
it keep coming down
as i strive
not to drown
forgotten

ch
and the tears
will just mix with the rain
never to be seen
again

b
wanting to cry
can anyone hear me?
trying to run
can anyone see me?
does anyone care?

ch
and my tears
will just mix with the rain
never to be seen
again
