My words don't come out right, so tonight music will be my voice.
"I know you're gone,
I know you're leaving me
behind your dreams,
behind your prayers."
"I'm on my own now
What do I see,
what do I feel,
what do I love?"
_________________________
"Tear out your hair
if you can't bear any more
It's the same as yesterday
It stays around,
locks the door
See, now here is the fear
that you live with every year
And you wonder if you'll make it out alive"
"Take a minute to reflect in your own way
Take your time and connect in your own way"
"And even though you get along somehow
You're messing up now in your own way, baby"
"You were told not to relate
Or reveal the feelings that could only more complicate
You turned to stone just to feel
Somehow permanent & real
And you hate all those who’d ever dare remind"
"and when I fall down on my face am I home?"
____________________________
"I don't care about these permanencies
When you wannna stop, just go"
"I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it"
"Cause I don't wanna be black,
don't wanna be white
Don't wanna be obvious
Making you a promise that I'll go out swinging"
"And even when the complications settle in
And even when I try to put it in its place
And even when the glue around me doesn't stick
And all the walls around me crumble brick by brick"
"And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it, I do"
______________________________
"Unravel me
a distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
a constant need"
________________________________
"Though i've tried,
i've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up"
"We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste
of losing everything i've held so dear"
"Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I've lost to those i thought were friends
To everyone i know"

The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy
To discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
I am caught between the Promise
And the things I know

but most importantly...
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be alright.
I can tell by your eyes that you're not getting any sleep
And you try to rise above it,
but you're sinking in too deep
Oh, oh I believe, I believe that...
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be alright.
I believe you'll outlive
this pain in your heart
And you'll gain such a strength from what is tearing you apart
Oh, oh I believe, I believe that...
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be alright.
When some time has past us,
and the story can be told
It will mirror the strength and the courage of your soul
Oh, oh I believe, I believe...
I did not come here to
offer you cliches
I will not pretend to
know all your pain
Just when you cannot,
the I will hold out faith,
FOR YOU
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be alright.

and IT WILL!
I know you know that...
but I wanted you to know
that I know that too.
And to know that I am
praying for you and
holding out and onto hope
for you.
it's gonna be alright
I know those Sara McLachlan days...a many I've had and this is my comfort.
Oh, great God, be small enough to hear me now.
There were times when I was crying from the dark of Daniel's den,
and I have asked you once or twice if you would part the sea again,
but tonight I do not need a fiery pillar in the sky;
just wanna know you're gonna hold me if I start to cry.
Oh, great God, be small enough to hear me now.
Oh, great God, be close enough to feel you now.
There have been moments when I could not face Goliath on my own,
and how could I forget we've marched around our share of Jerichoes,
but I will not be setting out a fleece for you tonight;
just wanna know that everything will be alright.
Oh great God, be close enough to feel you now.
All praise and all the honor be to the God of ancient mysteries,
whose every sign and wonder turn the pages of our history,
but tonight my heart is heavy and I cannot keep from whispering this prayer,
"Are you there?"
And I know you could leave writing on the wall that's just for me,
or send wisdom while I'm sleeping, like in Solomon's sweet dreams,
but I don't need the strength of Samson or a chariot in the end...
just want to know that you still know how many hairs are on my head.
Oh great God, be small enough to hear me now.
