Headlines read like a warning, we're under attack
I just waved to a stranger, he didn't wave back
And if it weren't for my TV, I wouldn't know what is real
My doctor can't do a thing for how I feel

Feels like I'm leaving Eden
Feels like I'm leaving Eden

People are losing their homes to hurricanes
Old lady living next door forgot her own name
Teacher is hiding her Bible, but at least she's got a job
My local Salvation Army just got robbed

Feels like I'm leaving Eden
Feels like I'm leaving Eden
It's like I'm further away with every step I take
And I can't go back
'Cause I'm leaving Eden

I'm going, going home
I'm going, going home
There's no place, no place like home
There's no place, no place like home

When you're leaving Eden
When you're leaving Eden
It's like I'm further away with every step I take
And I can't go back
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving Eden

I felt it first when i was younger
A strange connection to the light
I try to satisfy the hunger
I never got it right, I never got it right
So I climbed a mountain and built an altar
Looked out as far as I could see
And everyday I'm getting older
I'm running out of dreams, I'm running out of dreams

But your love, your lov
The only thing that matters is
Your love, your love
Is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's your love, your love
All I ever needed is your love

You know the effort I have given
And you know exactly what it cost
And though my innocence was taken
Not everything is lost,
Not everything is lost (no)

But Your love, your love
The only thing that matters is
Your love, your love
Is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's your love, your love
All I ever needed its your love

You're the hope in the morning
You're the light when the night is falling
You're the song when my heart is singing
It's your love

You're the eyes to the blind man
You're the feet for the lame man walking
You're the sound of the people singing its your love (your love, your love)

But your love, your love
The only thing that matters is
Your love, your love
Is all i have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's your love, your love
All I ever needed is your love

All I ever needed is your love, your love

All I never needed is your love

It's all I ever needed

(Brandon Heath, Dan Muckala)

My life before You
I was a flame burning down
I was burning out
But You knew me better
For You there was never a doubt
Not since You gave me life

Something was different
I knew it the instant
You put the light in me

The spark
The shot to the heart
You are the hope that leads me
Out of the dark
You let Your love shine down
So that the world can see
You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me

You are the Maker
You tell the sun when to rise
I'm just a house on a hill
But You make me brighter
Than all the stars in the sky
Keep me from growing dim

'Cause in Your perfection
I'm just a reflection
So pull me closer to You
I'll catch like a fire
And I'll hold You higher
'Cause You put the light in me

I'll raise it high, I'll let it show
From the roof tops down to the streets below
In day and night, You will be known
And all will see
You put the light in me

(Brandon Heath, Lee Thomas Miller, Ross Copperman)

There's a shadow coming
As the sky goes black
It's a stubborn rain
On a Nebraska plain

There's a farmer standing
On a thirsty ground
He holds his breath
This is life or death
It's only water

And it washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own
It's only water

There's a winding canyon
Where a mountain stood
Miles of earth and clay
Carried far away

But there's something holy
In these cathedral walls
They took a lot of years
And a lot of tears
It's only water

There once was a wedding
All the wine was gone
They said He's just a man
That's where it all began
It was only water

(Brandon Heath, Nate Campany, Dan Muckala)

I'm a fugitive
Running from the life that I was meant to live
Looking for somewhere that I can lay my head
I'm lucky if I make it through the night
But I can't sleep
Knowing that You're one more step ahead of me
I'm a fool for ever thinking You'd just let me go
That's not the way it's ever gone before
I'm Yours

You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won't give up
'Til my heart is stolen
'Til my heart is stolen away

I'm trying to understand that life comes after dying
To embrace that I'm a slave until I'm captured
But You would never use a lock or a key
'Cause I am free

I could change my name, cover all my tracks
But I'm wrong to think I could lose the past
'Cause You found me here and You took me back
Once a criminal, now a prodigal

(Brandon Heath)

Don't make a sound
Hold your breath
We gotta go because the Devil thinks your dead
Turn around
Face the door
Where you been sleeping isn't safe anymore
Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah

I know you thought
Your faith was gone
But I'm as real as the fire that you're on
I'm not afraid
Know how to fight
And I ain't leaving here alone tonight
Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah
It might just save your life
Uh-huh, oh, yeah
It might just save you

Just because you give up on yourself
Doesn't mean that I gave up myself, myself
Might just save your life

Don't be afraid
Stand up and fight
'Cause I ain't leaving here alone tonight
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
It might just save your life
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It might just save your life
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It might just save your life
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It might just save your life

(Brandon Heath, Thad Cockrell, Michael Logan)

Tiny boat on an angry sea
Sails torn and tattered
How could Jesus be fast asleep
Like it doesn't matter
Soon as He opens His eyes
The storm just dies

It's alright
Everything will be okay
You just hold tight
I'll be with you the whole way
When you're weak, I'll be strong
Keep going, we're almost home
It's alright
Everything will be okay

Mother Mary's got a broken heart
From the words they're saying
Her baby boy's being torn apart
By the world He's saving
He says, Mother, don't cry for me
You know where I'll be

No promise of an easy road
Just a destination
Next time you forget your hope
Somebody's waiting
Soon as you open your eyes
You'll realize

It's alright
Everything will be okay
You just hold tight
I'll be with you the whole way
When you're weak, He'll be strong
Keep going, you're almost home
When you're weak, He is strong
Keep going, you're almost home
It's alright
Everything will be okay

(Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram, Dan Muckala)

We're leaving you a message on your telephone
Everybody's wondering what you're doing home
Yeah, we're starting and you're missing the party
Can you hear it playing your favorite song
Everybody's singing but something's wrong
'Cause you're missing, 'cause you're missing
Hey, hey, are you listening, hey, hey, are you listening

It's no good to be alone
It's no good to be out there on your own
It's no good for you anymore than it is for me
It's no good, no good for you to be alone
Alone, alone, alone, no good to be alone

It's been a little while, you've been outta the scene
Spending all your time chasing down a dream
Takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime
It's a short life, it's a short life
You know it doesn't matter how high you climb
If no one's there to share the ride when you get there
Who's gonna be there

Nobody's suppose to be an island
Stuck out in the middle of the ocean on your own
I'm not giving up until I find you
Give me an S.O.S., I'll bring you home
It's no good for you to be alone

(Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram)

Dig my hands into the earth
Sometimes I need You so bad it hurts
I want You now more than ever
I've been living in a foreign land
Confession of a broken man
I want You now more than ever

The more I see, the more I want
The more I know, it doesn't stop
Your beauty speaks to call me home
Now more than ever
The more I feel that You are here
The more the world disappears
And all I want is to be home
Now more than ever

So tell me something that I haven't heard
I'll be hanging on every word
I want You now more than ever
How long must You make me wait
Give me hope, give me strength
I want You now more than ever

I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open
Face to the sky
I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open for You

(Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram, Dan Muckala)

If I see one more light that's fading
Hear about one more broken dream
Pray for just one more faith that's dying
It's one too many
And if I see one more child walking
Just one more mile for water
If I wait one more minute longer
It's one too many

When I think of what could be
If we let our hearts believe
That it takes just one
Just one could turn this all around
And if we're living history
How will they think of you and me
If it takes just one, just one
What if, what if, what if I'm the one

If I hear one more widow crying
'Cause there's no one by her side
If I see one more family breaking
It's one too many
If there's one thing that I'm sure of
If there's one thing that I know
You could be one in a sea of faces
Or you could be one more chance for hope

I see a nation without any walls
A beautiful haven for one and for all
I see a day when people are free
When shackles are broken and fall to the street
A voice, a cry, call out from on high
The first one of many go lay down your life

(Brandon Heath)

Some day I'll pass through the great sky above
And the first thing I'll ask is how well did I love
Did I leave the world any better than it was before
Of all the things I've done, could I have done any more

'Cause it took me a while just to find my feet
And to learn how to stand on my own
But You gave me the heart and the time I would need
To find You and make it back home
Where I belong

Some day I'll go to the great wide beyond
Where Moses and Mary and Jacob and my loved ones have gone
But I will rejoice in today and the journey I'm on
And I'll keep on praying and pressing on until dawn

Only to see a glimpse of Your face
To peek in to Heaven, time and space
Oh, to feel my own frailty and tremble in fear
To know You are with me as long as I'm here
Oh, as long as I'm here

Some day I'll pass through the great sky above
And the first thing I'll ask is how well did I love
