Dave Barnes Album

This is not the way
I thought that this would be
With me holding back something
Isn't love generosity
Not Fists up and pumping

What good is a helping hand if it's rolled up tight and clenched?
How can I give when I still must be convinced?

I believe that we can change the world

This could be the way we want it to
For all the brokenhearted
What we've done, love can still undo
To bring it back to how it started

What good is a helping hand if it's rolled up tight and clenched?
How can I give when I still must be convinced?

I believe that we can change the world

Forgive me know for trying to change your mind
Maybe this is just for me
But somewhere deep in these shadows
Are our brothers and sisters dying to be free

There ain't nothing that I won't do
Run across the ocean on my hands a time or two
Nothing at all could run me away
Me, my guitar, and everything I got are here to stay

Tell me what to do, I'll try it
Anything in the room? I'll buy it
I'll do anything you ask me to
Since you said "I do"
If we ain't got it, I'll make it
Don't worry bout your heart, I won't break it
I'll do anything you ask me to
Since you said "I do"

With these hands I'm gonna build our home
A dog in the yard for the times you ever feel alone
But what you gave me baby, I can't replace
So if you need anything pretty lady, go ahead and say it

Tell me what to do, I'll try it
Anything in the room? I'll buy it
I'll do anything you ask me to
Since you said "I do"
If we ain't got it, I'll make it
Don't worry bout your heart, I won't break it
I'll do anything you ask me to
Since you said "I do"

Let's just take our time
There's nothing else to do
What better way to spend the night
Than wasted here with you
The moon has won the war
The daylight waits to win
Stay here by my side we'll watch
The struggles start again

chorus
I need you now and forever
So stay right here with me
Don't ever leave
Love was kept from me like a secret
And I swore that I was trhough
Until you, until you

The city settled down
I watch you as you sleep
There's a silent celebration for
every breath you breathe
LyricsNow this all makes sense
You ask company
I left all I knew with the better part of me

chorus

The time it took to find you
I will wait again
The feelings that I feel
When you lie yeah yeah yeah

chorus
until you until you until you

No one ever told me
It would come to this
What began with such a promise
Would end with such a twist

I lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thing

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made
When a heart breaks

Everybody's laughing
Maybe that's just me
Does something unrequited
Mean it will never be

I lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thing

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made
When a heart breaks

Please don't leave me here

Life, for now, I've come to fear
You've dropped me off and left me here
With nothing here to find my way
But the lights you take as you pull away

Far ahead the brush is moving
There's others here and good is proving
Nothing's wrong, it's in my mind
Nothing's wrong and I'll be find

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

well im told at days old she was left on the steps of a preachers door mom and dad they felt bad but that was one more problem that they didnt have what would it take to change there minds just one more someone left behind

its a good world gone real bad and only love can bring it back

now shes 13 and it seems she wants to look like the girls on the tv screen, she stayed thin she wont grin but a tiney little friend keeps a calling again

what does it take to change her mind just one more someone left behind

its a good world gone real bad and only love can bring it back

if she dont promise she cant have but nothing changes if she dont if she dont try

its a good world gone real bad and only love can bring it back

i said its a good world gone real bad and only love can bring it back - bring it back, only love can bring it back

On a night like this
I could fall in love
I could fall in love with you

In this dark so dense
We talk so soft
The way young lovers do

The days last sight
Turns to cool nights breeze
And this love hangs thick like these willow leaves
I've hid myself away from this
But your silhoutte is the Judas kiss

On a night like this
I could fall in love
I could fall in love with you

There's a mountain
Here before me
And I'm going to climb it
With strength not my own

He's gonna lead me
Or the mountain beats me
Carry me through
Carry me through

There's a river
Here before me
And I'm gonna cross it
With strength not my own

He's gonna save me
Or the river takes me
Carry me through
Carry me through

Oh, Lord, be gentle
I'm just a man
Please don't crush me
Help me in

Oh, Lord, remember
I try so hard
I walk and talk
Your kingdom love

There's a sinner
Here before me
And I'm gonna give them
Strength not my own

He's gonna carry me
When I get weary
Carry me through
Carry me through

Oh, Lord, be gentle
I'm just a man
Please don't crush me
And help me in

Oh, Lord, remember
I try so hard
I walk and talk
Your kingdom love

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Carry me through

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Lord, Sweet Lord
Carry me through

It's true what they say the devil's alive and well.
Picked the locks and escaped the gates of hell.
It's evidence for all you feel right now.
If I could beg I'd beg that you'd somehow

Believe, believe

Chances are four will turn to three
that's one less than this was meant to be.
A wounded heart's a sucker for affairs
I'm healing now and I hope you somehow stay

Believe, Believe, Believe

It took forever to love and then
its broken your heart like porcelain
there's hope in this
that you will surely see
if you only

Believe, Believe, Believe

Its true what they say
the devil's alive and well.
But there's something else
working here as well
something else working here as well

Yesterday's breakfast on the table
Pictures scattered on the ground
By my foot there's you and I laughing
You look so good in the wedding gown
Falling in love for us was easy
But that's never very hard
Now there's bills in the mailbox
And branches in the yard
Don't lose heart

Someday we're gonna find it
Someday we're gonna see
Someday we're gonna find you and me
Someday it's gonna be like breathing
I know it's gonna be
Someday we're gonna find you and me

This is not an accusation
The fault is probably mine
By now I thought we'd be familiar
Some things only come with time
Don't lose heart

Someday we're gonna find it
Someday we're gonna see
Someday we're gonna find you and me
Someday it's gonna be like breathing
I know it's gonna be
Someday we're gonna find you and me

Hold onto me and I'll hold onto you
Hold onto me holding onto you

Someday we're gonna find it
Someday we're gonna see
Someday we're gonna find you and me
Someday it's gonna be like breathing
I know it's gonna be
Someday we're gonna find you and me

10,000 children and all I can do is just talk.
While my house is full of possessions that negligence bought.
Everyone tells me that I'm not to blame,
Why do I still feel the same?

CHORUS
Only love can save us all.
Only love can save us all, save us all.

10,000 children are my invitation to change.
To continue in excess now suddenly feels oh so strange.
Prayers and money should not be confused,
But I pray that both still are used.

CHORUS
Only love can save us all.
Only love can save us all

What will become of me?
Inside of history

10,000 children and all I can do is just talk.

Oooh Baby
Love, isn't just quite what I thought it was
And im laughing out just because
I can't get enough (of love)

Youuu.. takin back all I thought I knew
Dreams are only dreams, never true
I was a fool
Yes you

There's nothing else, I'd rather do,
There's nothing else baby baby, I'd rather do
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than be with you

Me, it's not that I was lonely as could be
See love was it far out of reach? I could not see
See me

You and I, are blessed because we know we gota try
Sorrys always said, not goodbye
That's why…

There's nothing else, I'd rather do
There's nothing else baby baby, I'd rather do
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than be with you

Lookin back now, I see..how long we've got history
Now theres nothing I would rather, I would rather do

There's nothing else I'd rather do
There's nothing else baby baby I'd rather do
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than be with you baby

There's ntohing else I'd rather do
There's nothing else baby baby I'd rather do
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than be with you baby baby, you baby baby, you baby baby

The night is slowly dying
All of the stars are gone
Your purse is on the table; the TV's on
You're lying on the bed asleep, as pretty as can be
I love you, Annie
The day that I first saw you, you changed my mind
See, I was moving forward; I thought I was fine
There was a hole here in my heart that only love could see
I love you, Annie
It's so hard to see
What life without you would be like for me
Would the sky be as blue and the grass as green?
What would I be without you?
Time keeps moving faster, I don't know what to do
The pictures in the hallway will be changed so soon
And I pray that when my life is done that they remember me
For how I loved you, Annie
