Get up, Monday morning blues
How on earth did you press that snooze button twice?
Don’t be late to work, get a brew
New clothes, ‘cos you must be seen looking glam
But at the bus stop mean drivers scram
Through the small reservoir next to you
Could it be that there’s a reason that we’re alive?
You and me, is there a reason that we’re alive?
Could it be that every day there’ll be something new
we can learn?
Could it be that anybody could need a light
In a world with so much wrong that could be made right?
Could it be that there’s a reason these hearts continue to burn?
The reason we are alive...
Same road, past the same old view
Paperboy yelling out the news
“There’s no point”, say the learned, “life is a whim.”
Oh well, through the office doors
Settle down, now here comes your boss
And she’s mad, ‘cos you don’t seem to be a machine
Could it be... etc.
And tomorrow we will do it again
Could it be there’s a reason
When tomorrow we will do it again?
Could it be that there’s a reason that we’re alive
When it seems a noble battle to just survive?
Is there anybody here who can see the light
In a world with so much wrong that could be made right?
Could this be the time and place for a dream come true?
Could there be an opportunity here for you?
Could it be our very lives have been made for awe?
Could it be that there is Someone to live them for?
I believe that there’s a reason that we’re alive
Though it seems a noble battle to just survive
I believe that anybody might see the light
In a world with so much wrong that could be made right
I believe this is the place for a dream come true
I believe that opportunity waits for you
I believe our very lives have been made for awe
I believe that there is Someone to live them for
I believe that there’s a reason that we’re alive
Though it seems a noble battle to just survive
I believe our very lives have been made for awe
I believe that there is Someone to live them for
And I’m glad, I’m glad that tomorrow we can do it again...

Flying Song
03:31

Up above the endless sea
Cotton carpets white beneath
Daylight into dark
Chasing daylight into dark
Sailing through that cold blue air
Till you finally land somewhere
Home’s a world apart
But no further from my heart
You won’t go far
I’ll know where you are
And since the beginning
I’d go anywhere to find you
Know in your heart
How fast time is going
So don’t take too many flights
Before the one
That brings you back.
Where you go may bring you smiles
Turn your fortunes for a while
Limelight in the gloom
Bring you limelight in the gloom
Valleys here and mountains there
Sky of stars too bright to bear
Dull in any view
Next to what I’ve prepared for you
And these are the words that I’ve said forever:
You won’t go far
I’ll know where you are
And since the beginning
I’ve given everything to find you
Know in your heart
How fast time is going
So don’t take too many flights
Before you’re on...
Your journey home is not far
I know where you are
Just like the beginning
How I’d hate for you to lose me
Deep in your heart
You’re longing, I know it
Please don’t take too many flights
Before the one
That brings you back.

Called Me Your Own II
03:51
|

I will never die if I’m alive in You
And my very heart’s foundation knows Your word is truth
So when I stand praising with many
Or outcast all alone
The only thing that matters is You’ve called me Your own
It’s a mystery and a code I’ll never crack
How my Lord would send His very best to get me back
And if they have me top the charts
Or drop me like a stone
The only thing that matters is You’ve called me Your own
You see how much I long to be on team
When I’m everyone’s last choice
How I’ve longed to sing out in the choir
When there is no tune to my voice
But You don’t see the face of it like we do
You just see how much Your people need You
I’ve got Your love within me
Even when no-one thinks me worth a slice:
You’ve set a place for me back home
Because of Love’s eternal sacrifice,
With the word and the Spirit bringing change inside
And a hope that one like me can bring You pride
I will never die if I’m alive in You
And my very heart’s foundation knows Your word is truth
So when I stand praising with many
Or outcast all alone
The only thing that matters is You’ve called me Your own

The True And The Only
06:21

You are the true and the only, holy, perfect One
No-one before, no-one greater, Maker, and we come
Knowing Your power is ageless
Knowing the King of all heaven is with us
You are the true and the only, holy, purest Lamb
Dying that we can be living; giving
So we can know that Your mercy is endless
Knowing the King of all heaven is for us
You came to cleanse us with Your blood
That we would have life forever
And even today, Lord, You beckon
Healing the soul and the mind
Bringing sight to the blind
Yours is the true and the only holy road divine
Gladly we stand and we follow, sorrow leave behind
Knowing Your favour is boundless
Knowing the King of all heaven is with us
You came to cleanse us with Your blood
That we would have life forever
And even today, Lord, You beckon
And open eternity’s door
Bringing worth to the poor
Yours is the true and the only holy road divine
Gladly we stand and we follow, sorrow leave behind
Knowing Your favour is boundless
Knowing the King of all heaven is with us
Knowing Your mercy is endless
Knowing the King of all heaven is with us.
Lord, You are truth, You are life, You’re the only way...
