Song Lyrics
Written By Roger Miller
Twice Fallen
Words and Music by Roger Miller,
Vs. 1:
Slow the clock down and go for a drive. Turn off your lights and think of your life. Look at the moon and tell me why, why do some live and others die. [What if everything weve been told is only a lie. x2]
Chorus:
You are my strength, when doubts like these fill my mind, when Im incomplete. You are the peace that disowns my sin. Lord I need you; I need you to save me again. Lord I need you to save me again.
Vs. 2:
Turn off the lights; the distractions in life. Give me a motive to do whats right. Complications that try and hide your heart and your soul. Grab a hold on the edge, grab a hold to break your fall.
Chorus
Bridge:
What do I do, Lord I need you. My mind is a chaos. You see me crash, time after time. Lord where are you? Where are you? When youre supposed to be by my side, but could it be that I am my worst enemy.
You are my strength. When doubts like these fill my mind, Im so incomplete.
You are the peace, inside of me. I need you Lord to save me.
You are my strength
Crayons
Words and music by Roger Miller
Crayons scattered on the floor, more there than on the picture. If you thought I could do this on my own, youve got another thing coming.
How do you expect me to change a piece of paper into a masterpiece of color and creativity with only me? Havent you seen what Ive drawn with these useless hands, still you accept me despite what Ive been.
But still Im learning everyday, to fall apart in all new ways, Im reaching up to you, and still I hear myself say. That you cant change your own fate. You live and lie and then you die. Im reaching up to you, and still Im learning how to get away.
The Innocence in my eyes maybe tainted, even lost. Pure joy different in bliss at beginning or in reality at completion.
Crayons changing to ink, permanent, permanent the crossing of lines and blending of shades. Sadly enough its nothing original that Im creating.
You see God I know my own heart, Ive seen the dark in it. And I know I cant give you anythirng beautiful. Still all you want is all I am, Ill never understand.
Im learning how to find this Grace!
Something New
Once upon a time my heart was dying, that story is all too real. No matter what I tried I couldnt find the light my soul desired. The wires that I always thought would keep me true, crumbled under this dry dew. This parched and cracking withered self is all I have to offer you.
Jesus I beg you to rain on my soul making me grow into something new. Put my past failings behind me, assailing the evil one. Let your death pull me out into something new, something new.
Once upon a time my motives changed, my words cant be the same. Even still my life impairing arbitrary stains hanging around my neck, my blame. My Lord came to me and said please, You dont have to be alone. In fact you cant do this alone.
Bridge-only guitar
Yeah, Yeah Jesus I beg you to rain on my soul, making me grow into something new. Put my past failings behind me assailing the evil one. Let your death pull me out into something new, something new.
10,000 Years
Arrangement by Roger Miller
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. (x2) I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see
All I can say is, Halleluiah (x4)
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear?
The hour I first believed.
Vs 3:
When weve been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun.
Weve no less days to sing Gods praise then when we first begun.
Matter
Whats the matter with her? Whats the matter with them? Is it the matter with me,
or just a matter of sin?
Cause whats the matter with us? Is it if we matter or not? Cause all that matters to me, Is if Im all that good enough. But a matter of fact, were all simple matter.
But it mattered enough, for him to give up his life. For a matter of sin, its just a matter of sin..
Far Away
I watched the sunset from the same view;
The one that took your plane and dove into the ocean with you.
From then till now Im starting to forget,
just what I was or how those eyes of yours; gone without a hint
Youre Far Away, Far Away (x2) For Now
I cant take the miles in between when I get to see your smile.
I know theres something wrong cause I need you back here in my arms...
And I cant take the hours in between what really matters.
I know it cant be long till youre right back here where you belong Yeah,
BaBaBaDa, BaBaBaDaDa (x3) But for now youre Gone!
Somebody ask me how Im feeling, cause I dont really know,
am I lookin backward, or lookin forward?
From on and on I learned how to run,
run down the road that lead to your front door; Still Alone
Youre Far Away, Far Away (x2) Come back, to Stay
Chorus→Bridge
And I cant take the miles in between when I get to see your beautiful smile,
I know it isnt long till your right back here where you belong.
Ortho: Come Back!
A Few Pennies
So you think Im a man that Ive got a confession to make. My lips are sealed. My aching heart hasnt been healed.
Because inside Im just like a little boy. My selfish desires get my whole wide world. But inside my thoughts, the place called a beautiful mind. Lurks evil and vanities, destruction not remedies.
Father I need you here, right here. Close enough to change to my life, close enough to open up my eyes to the sight of love and joy, and peace; things such as these. To take my eyes off of me and my inadequacy.
You see me here by the window looking for any excuse to jump, and Ive got plenty; Ive got plenty.
Vs. 3:
Thankfully its not up to me whether I live or die. See I am not my own. For I was bought for more than my value of a few pennies. Lord you gave your life so I could see
A Heart Condition
Ive got a heart, a heart condition. I seem to bleed till I fall and I fall till I bleed, I hope I know what I mean.
Ive got a question, a contradiction, is love lasting, seemingly addiction. We run head first into the open doors. Why look back when you cant turn back?
Because defection happens in love not war. Because defection happens in love not war.
Ive got a world, a very small world spinning round on my fingers Ive got this in control.
Lets go, lets go and take a hold on anybody trying to (trying to) change this place.
Our necks may be stiff, but we ease right into the mold, we ease right into the mold.
Because defection happens in love not war. (x2)
Because defection happens in love
Ive got a heart, a heart condition. Will love leave or will it stay, can we find a better way, that s all I have to say
Tired of Breathing
Featuring Racquel Roberts
I know a young girl, shes always hiding, theres no one past her colored eyes. Because theyve been crying. Time is not her friend and she wishes all the dark would end.
Lighting pours through her head; the sun is gone clouds gather instead.
Just like her were tired of breathing. Just like her were tired of breathing all the air. These clouded skies are everywhere. And just like her, were tired of feeling, tired of breathing.
Her thoughts say her life means nothing, and now shes starting to agree. But theres more to her life than youre seeing.
Her days seem like years and she can never escape the fear.
The 25th
Todays the 25th, it came along with snow and hope, but tomorrows rain will come. Dont be looking for the sun, just hold onto the newness thats due on December 31st.
Midnight seemed like a good time to through a cheer for a year full of times; most of them hard, a few of them glad, so much for good.
Januarys grasp on me is hard, but Im strong and I will fight, Ill fight for the day on and on.
Its time to talk of more than just snowflakes, of more than just dreams that break. Of the melodies composing symphonies in our souls that long for someone to hold.
January 27th Its usually the simple days that are special. Have you felt the stillness of heaven?
Two Horizons, One Hope
When I kiss this life goodbye and the air around my lips runs dry. Could you bury me on a mountain to watch the eagles fly. When my eyes no longer see the sunlight break through a meadow fresh and bright. Could you close my book of memories and see me victor of the fight.
When I see you Ill know why I was made. When I find you could there be anything left to say. When I finish my honest race, Ill know why I was made.
Bridge
Someday Ill break the gates between life and death, but only if I can break this suppression of sin. Oh, Im free.
Change (Acoustic Demo)
Vs. 1
We see the storm coming, the darker clouds gathering beside me.
We feel the tension getting stronger, dont ask them how, but we know this wont hold much longer.
But as for me, Im reaching up, whence my help comes from. As for us, we cant save the world; weve killed our love.
Whyd we ask where we are? The darkness of my heart
Vs. 2
Were finding out that were not really ready, for whats creeping in, Are you standing steady?
Lets change because we know the truth. Notice the dissonance, its whats inside of you.
It has to change (x2)
We have to change (x2)
Who we are
Ortho
The Light thats filled my heart is the change!
