Track Name: 3 am
It's 3 am and I can't sleep again
There's too much trouble on my mind
And as I toss and turn when will I ever learn
True peace is hard to find

So I slip out of bed - feels like a dream instead
As I make my way down
Put on my coat and shoes with one last check or two
And I leave without a sound

And in the stillness of the night my soul gives up the fight
And when I finally let go I find what I've been looking for

Chorus:

I can feel you are near as I walk beneath the stars
And I find your peace of mind as you calm my frenzied heart
In the darkness of the night
I've found your guiding light for my way
And I'll be okay

I've walked this road before, I'm not worried anymore
I'm with an old familiar friend
They say this too shall pass, hard times never last
Salvation's coming round the bend

'Cause when the world I walk is silent and no one is around
It's then when I wander restless in the hours before dawn that

Chorus

Looking at the night sky wondering why some things have to be
But under the stars I don't have to look far for a reason to believe
Track Name: Table for One
Who knows why some things end
One day you're in love, the next you're just friends

Who knows why things fall apart
Like you and me and now my broken heart

I don't know why you said goodbye but I'll try to get by without you

Chorus:

My days are lonely, my nights are long
I don't know how I can go on
But I guess I'll have to 'cause now that you're gone
I've gotta get used to a table for one

Who knows if things will ever change
Why time heals all wounds but the memories remain

Who knows if the pain makes me strong
Like a lesson in life was the plan all along

I don't know when I'll be fine but I'll try to survive without you

Chorus

That's the funny thing about life
There's always some unexpected surprise
But I'll never let you see me cry
If you're over it, so am I
Track Name: Leap of Faith
I'm feeling frightened, my senses are heightened
When will the lights turn on
Anticipating, how I hate waiting
'Cause I feel my courage fading

Don't you understand you with the master plan
You hold my dreams in your hand
And I can't see what is meant to be so please be kind to me

Chorus:
And if I seem wary it's 'cause I find it scary
To want to take a leap of faith for you
And if it feels crazy it's because maybe
I want to take a leap of faith for you

I'm lucky I know but still I need to grow
I've got a long long way to go
I need help believing that all that I'm dreaming
One day, some day could happen

And now here we go though I wish you'd show me
All the things I want to know
But that's not the way that you choose to play
So take my fears away

Chorus

Could it be you've got me right where you want me
If I hold on I can't go wrong
One day I'll see
Track Name: Traveling Light
I know that look on your face
Different person, different place
But the feeling it brings is the same

I can't ignore the hope in me
What if this is the same old story
How can I let go of what I know

Chorus:

So tonight I'm traveling light
I'm ready to love, redefined
Out of sight, out of my life, out of my mind
It's time to travel light

Go somewhere I've never been
Disregard all the things I had planned
Let you see me for who I really am

I know this may sound crazy
But you could be the one to save me
Time will tell if you're all you seem to be

Chorus

Take it as it comes and goes
What's ahead is all we'll know
It's never felt this good to just let go
Track Name: Even If
21 days to go and I don't know where my brain is
There's too much going on
I'm overwhelmed with all the many changes
The future's in front of me and I can't see where I'm going
Don't know what's around the bend but honestly I don't mind not knowing

All my bags are packed
And I can't look back

Chorus:

'Cause even if I stand still
The world around me never will
Time slips through my hands the days just fly
And even if I wanna stop
This little girl is all grown up
Wondering how her life's gone by

Wasn't it just a dream
'Cause to me it seems I'm just waking
A little wide-eyed, untried
On this journey that I am taking
So many have gone before
But more and more I feel like I'm the first one
But I'm not afraid my fears have faded now that I've begun

It's all in the past
And I won't look back

Chorus

And you make your choices despite the voices
That tell you that you're wrong
And every day you make your way
That's how you learn to be strong
That's how you learn to go on
Track Name: This Sacrifice
You're half a world away
And I'm sending you my heart tonight
I can't let you know my fear
Or the thought this might not turn out right

But I left you for the chances that the world could offer me
And I asked you to trust the day would come

Chorus:

So until we see each other home
Hear my promise and hold on tight
That no matter what or where I am
You've been worth this sacrifice
You've been worth this sacrifice

I pray you'll remember me
And the things I said to keep inside of you
And thought I don't feel that free
I swear I'm working toward the better life

But I left you for the chances that the world could offer me
And I asked you to trust the day would come

Chorus

We'll be together once more
And things will be just like they were before
Your bed is ready, the city's waiting for you
And I am here waiting too
Track Name: Beautiful Indeed
It's so hard to find it
If I look in the mirror it's not there
Why do I try so hard
I know it's got to be somewhere

Some elusive quality
Somewhere deep inside of me

Chorus:

I want to be something new
More like you
I wanna be truly beautiful
There needs to be less of me
So who they see is beautiful indeed

It's not in all I've done
When you strip it down it's just a list
But in the littlest things
Like loving you and her and him

Because you are all I need
I can be if I believe

Chorus

It's so hard to find it
It's got to be somewhere
Track Name: My Turn
You said you'd always be there
You'd always care for me
But as time's gone by I've gotten wise to all your lies
And now I can see

That what can hurt is lip service
Don't say things that you don't mean
And now my heart's been torn apart
By someone who's not what they seem

Chorus:

I can forgive and let live but it's harder to forget
And you ask me do I want you back
Well I'm not ready yet
I may be slow to learn but it's my turn to play the game
And if I stay can you say
If things will change or stay the same

I know people aren't perfect and I'm the worst of them all
But I just can't believe that you could leave me set up for a fall
I've watched my world crumble as I tumbled into despair
And when I needed you most I learned my trust was a joke
You couldn't bother to be there

Chorus

When anger seems so justified
How can forgiveness be so blind
Holding on to stubborn pride
I can let it go
But I hope you know
Track Name: With Me Always
Sometimes I just have to wonder why life can be so hard
But when I'm tempted to give up you remind me you've brought me so far

There are days I don't know what I should do
So every day I pray you'll see me through

Chorus:

You are with me always
And on you I will wait
For you know all my days
And I won't be afraid
Oh come what may
You are with me always

And when my world is full of sadness
I'm drowning in the madness of life
You come to pull me from the darkness
Mend my heart and make things right

And I know that I will always need you
And I know I couldn't live without you

Chorus

Nothing can come between us
That's a promise I can trust
And for anything that happens in this world
I know your love will be enough
Track Name: Journey
Life is the lengthy road I travel
There are so many others
Yet it's so very solitary

And I
I tend to hesitate
'Cause I would hate to be wrong
And miss the path that I should be on

Chorus:

But every day
You lead the way
With just enough light for me to see where I should walk next
And I'll keep going
Though I don't know where the road will lead
But I believe
You're guiding me on this journey home

Love - the elusive prize
What we chase and we desire
As we walk these twisted pathways

And I
I've come to realize
It's been there all along
It's in the one who leads me on
