We awoke to find night turned to light On the face, on the face of the mountain In mystery, the sleeping giants shied away Shrouded under, shrouded under spells of snow Under spells of snow Eager to prove their might and majesty Each removed, each removed their cloudy cloaks To greet us with a warm hello, hello The river slowly winds Twists and turns as in our train We push and pull Beside and below Push and pull To and fro Push and pull Beside and below Push and pull To and fro

Like the landscape set before us The changing times they will transform us As light descends and friends with laughter gather Eastward cast shadows pull me further Further from what I know Further from my home But your cold hands And your warm heart hold me near I’ve never felt at home But I know I belong when I’m with you I place pen on paper to note Whether I am far or right here In frozen forests or summer sun Growing patience demands waiting But life in love calms my soul And in your love there’s a home Oh your cold hands And your warm heart hold me near I’ve never felt at home But I know I belong when I’m with you Oh your cold hands And your warm heart hold me near I’ve never felt at home But I know I belong when I’m with you Nowhere is, nowhere Nowhere is home Forever, I’m never I’m never alone Nowhere is, nowhere Nowhere is home Forever, I’m never I’m never alone Let’s build a refuge Safe and warm And carry our home Wherever we go Oh your cold hands And your warm heart hold me near I’ve never felt at home But I know I belong when I’m with you Oh your cold hands And your warm heart hold me near I’ve never felt at home But I know I belong when I’m with you (Nowhere is home)

I'm starting to believe that I I became so, so boring that I I have nothing new to talk about And I need to experience that wind and that fire And that's when I hear you tell me To climb that mountain And wait for you there You come in the whisper Come in the soft the nurture You come in the everyday The common, the constant You come where I don't expect you to come When I'm starting to feel like I I’ve got nothing, oh nothing that I I am bringing to the table And I am desperate to experience that wind and that fire And that's when I hear you tell me To climb that mountain And wait for you there You come in the whisper Come in the soft the nurture You come in the everyday The common, the constant You come where I don't expect you to come You come in the whisper Come in the soft the nurture You come in the everyday The common, the constant You come where I don't expect you to Come where I don't expect you to Come where I don't expect you to come You come where I don’t expect you to come

Will I ever change It seems years have passed and I'm still the same Have I gotten anywhere Swimming, sinking, but floating mostly And I still don't see the promised land Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart God Why am I afraid Fear is inside and all around me I let it overwhelm me I'm stretching, spinning, but tangling mostly And I'll admit that I'm spread thin Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart God Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart Calm my anxious heart God Can I come to know you as the healer when I'm not yet healed Can I come to know you as provider when there's hunger still (repeat) Calm my anxious heart (repeat) Calm my anxious heart God

Eye to Eye 04:00
We may not always see eye to eye We may not always seem on the same side But you're as precious as gold As precious as gold to me The ring on my finger that's what it means to me There ain't gonna be another, another for me Cause you're as precious as gold As precious as gold to me You’re as precious as gold As precious as gold to me You’re more precious than gold More precious than gold to me
6.
Future Eye 04:10
Did you find what you were looking for Did you find the pearl on the steppe or at your door And I hope you find your peace of mind And in your future eye, I hope you find that peace of mine Did you find what you were looking for Did you find it on the path behind Or under thin ice below And I hope you find it before it’s time And winter sends snow Oh honey, we'll find that peace I know I’m getting cold So please come close (repeat)
7.
West Coast 04:36
I went to the west coast and heard the voice of God I went to the west coast and heard him on the mountainside I went to the west coast and heard the voice of God I went to the west coast and heard his whisper in the trees And I saw his face in the colours of fall back home And I felt his heart speak to the innermost part of me Still I have lots of unanswered questions Too many you say (repeat) I went to the west coast and heard the voice of God I went to the west coast and heard him on the ocean shore And I saw his face in the colours of fall back home And I felt his heart speak to the innermost part of me Still I have lots of unanswered questions Too many you say (repeat) You went to the west coast and heard the voice of reason You went to the west coast and finally heard that voice you say You say, you say Still you have lots of unanswered questions Too many you say Oh you have lots of unanswered questions Too many you say (repeat)
8.
(Drifting through the current) We are but a moment, passed by with each crescendo and rest We are but a breath, invited in and abruptly tossed into the cold Here then there Here then there We are but a mist, a cloud caught in the current The current, the current of the coastlines call Drifting through the current Drifting through the current But you are more, constant in each chord Each cloud, each calming breath You are wholly alive, you’re steadfast and true You’re eternally here Here and there Here and there You give us a home, no beginning or end You give us a name, beloved and friend You’re presently here and presently there (repeat) Humbled I wait Humbled I stand And humbly I am found (repeat) You’re presently here and presently there (repeat)
9.
Well a song should have something to say But I have so little, so little So let my words be few And with this melody, let my song be for you (Oh’s) So let my words be few And in the stillness, I will worship you
10.
I feel the wind in my soul, the whisper of songs New songs breathing life and hope Oh I can hear their melodies I feel the wind in my soul, freedom is here It’s flying with leaves in the breeze And I can see the colours changing Seasons change, my heart is bigger and bolder I'm ready, I'm ready, oh I'm ready, I'm, I'm ready (repeat) Come My Spirit longs for what’s beyond New lands and new songs Though apprehension lures and lies You are the lamp who lightens my darkness From night to day, light my way As I go further on forward I'm ready, I'm ready, oh I'm ready, I'm, I'm ready (repeat) Come There's a new song in my bones (repeat) I'm ready, I'm ready, oh I'm ready, I'm, I'm ready (repeat) Come
