I love the way you hold my downfalls
Out of sight of the rest of the world
How you’ve forced my greatest lessons, but so gently
I love the place we’re at right now
Though this year you might ask “how?”
All the while we kept our eyes on what we could be
All of the tests
You were your best
And I couldn’t be more proud of you now
Of you now so
Don’t stop, hold on a little longer
Believe me, yeah we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
Don’t stop, keep on reaching for it
My love, yeah we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
I love the way you own a handstand
With that bashful in your eyes
Hope you’ll always keep your innocence and wonder
I love your yearning, open heart
All of the art that covers your arms
I love the way our freedom bonds us even stronger
All of the hurt
I know that it burns
But I will be with you through it all
Through it all so
Don’t stop, hold on a little longer
Believe me, yeah we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
Don’t stop, keep on reaching for it
My love, yeah, we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
We’ll blow the roof off
We’ll blow the roof off, yeah
You’re gonna be alright in time
We’ll blow the roof off
We’ll blow the roof off
You’re gonna be alright
Don’t stop, hold on a little longer
Believe me, yeah we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
Don’t stop, keep on reaching for it
My love, yeah we’re almost there
This year’s, been a little harder
Don’t stop, we’ll blow the roof off, I promise
You’re gonna be alright

Whoaaaa
Ooooooo Oooooo
Whoa
Wrote a song about nothing real
Coming clean so that I can heal
Been a slave of a secret life
And it’s heavy on my mind
But I can’t keep this anymore
I’ve been living in hiding for way too long
These words are true this time
If I sold you lies, I apologize
I almost lost my way but now I see in colors
And I hope you’ll forgive me, no I did not love her
I almost lost my way but I found some answers
And I’m ready to be me now, no more acting
Whoaaaa
Ooooooo Oooooo
Whoa
Looking back on my younger years
How it shifted still isn’t clear
Could’ve ended up with a wife
And a heavy life long lie and that’s why
I can’t keep this anymore
I’ve been sinning in hiding for way too long
These words are true this time
If I sold you lies, I apologize
Cause’ now I see the world, see the world in colors
And I hope you’ll forgive me, no I did not love her
I almost lost my way but I found some answers
And I’m ready to be me now, no more acting
Now no more acting
Whoaaaa
Ooooooo Oooooo
Whoa
I wrote a song about nothing real
Coming clean so that I can heal
I almost lost my way but now I see in colors
And I hope you’ll forgive me, no I did not love her
I almost lost my way but I found some answers
And I’m ready to be me now, no more acting
And though I don’t believe it’s always one or the other
Here I must be real, no I did not love her
No, no, no I did not lover her
No I did not love her
No I did not love her

My Mother's Love
05:02

Red coat and smiling
Suede boots and soft leather gloves
Beside me
Forever my mother’s love
Each season
Sweet memories I’ll always keep
As I grew
In loving you helped me see
Beauty in the passing years
That impermanence is not to fear
How you long for
Your parents I never knew
But I feel them
Within me in all I do
Like fallen leaves that turn to soil and feed
Tulips that the spring time yields
And in perfect time and with grace you will pass on
Into love, into new life
And although I’ll miss you I know now that I’ll be fine
Our Fowler Lake
A safe place where we would walk
I told you
About my secret love
Sorry it took so long to say
But gracious all the while you stayed
So heavy your heart for your sons you would worry
But now we’re safe here at your side
And never far now if you should need our light
For you we’re light
Forever your light
In transcending
The unknown will give to light
Channeling those who came before
Shining on forever more
And in perfect time and with grace you will pass on
Into love, into new life
And although I’ll miss you I know now that I’ll be fine
And you’ll be fine
And we’ll be fine
Red coat and smiling
Suede boots and soft leather gloves
I’ll always
Hold on to my mother’s love
My mother’s love

With or Without You
04:45

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails, she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you, ah, ah
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live
With or without you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Holding Space
03:40

From new highs to new lows
Seven years they’ll melt like snow
Squaring with the truth you face
Do you have what it takes to be free?
You resolve then you wane
From relief you’re struck with pain
Pining once again you doubt
Did you love him enough?
Or are you just giving up?
But you know
When you know
But your heart won’t let go
When you know
That the only way out is through
When you know
But your heart won’t let you
I’ll be your strength
I’ll be holding space
For you
May you honor and miss
But say goodbye, release your guilt
Mourning what you’ve long since lost
Will you act out of love?
Will you rise above?
I hope you will
Cause’ you know
But your heart won’t let go
Yes you know
That the only way out is through
When you know
But your heart won’t let you
I’ll be your strength
And I’ll be holding space
For you
For you
For you
When you know
But your heart won’t let go
When you know
That the only way out is through
When you know
But your heart won’t let you
I’ll be your strength
And I’ll be holding space
For you
Yeah I’ll be holding space for you
You
So Let go
