Caminhada por Água em BH - 111 Assinaturas

2010-01-27T01:14:00.003-02:00

A caminhada Take the Walk, em Belo Horizonte, no último dia 10 de janeiro, superou as expectativas de todos.

Foram 111 assinaturas de pessoas de várias regiões do país e de fora do país. Tivemos adeptos de Brasília, São Paulo, Interior de Minas Gerais, EUA, Holanda e Suíça, além dos caminhantes de Belo Horizonte e redondezas.

O evento estava agendado para as 10h da manhã de domingo. O clima estava de nosso lado. Houve previsões de chuvas naquele dia, mas o dia foi ensolarado e de céu aberto, com poucas nuvens.

Às 10h, muitas pessoas já estavam por lá. Aguardamos alguns minutos, por mais pessoas que estavam para chegar, o que despertou nos outros visitantes do parque, curiosidade sobre o que estava para acontecer. Muitas pessoas ouviram falar sobre o Take the Walk e Blood:Water Mission, minutos antes da caminhada e vários aderiram.

O resultado supreendente foi fruto do empenho de uma equipe dedicada aos projetos e à caminhada. Para alguns, essa foi a primeira experiência em favor de água limpa e medicamentos na África e para outros, foi mais uma recompensa e a confirmação do quanto vale a pena se esforçar por nossos ideais, em favor de nossos amigos.

Com o número crescente de pessoas que chegavam ao local, decidimos iniciar, explicando um pouco sobre o funcionamento do Take the Walk e com um breve esclarecimento sobre o Blood:Water Mission, alvo de nossa caminhada.

O projeto "Take the Walk" (TTW) visa proporcionar soluções simples e tangíveis, para que mais pessoas possam tomar uma atitude individual, na luta contra a epidemia de AIDS e pobreza na África.

O diferencial acontece quando o primeiro passo é dado, quando pessoas decidem sair de um estado inerte de conscientização somente, para uma tomada real de atitude. Cada passo representa uma ação, em direção a um percurso completo.

Em nome de cada pessoa que caminhou, 1$ será doado à causa escolhida e um dos projetos apoiados pelo TTW é o "Blood:Water Mission" (BWM), uma organização sem fins lucrativos que capacita comunidades a trabalharem juntos, contra a AIDS e crise de falta de água limpa na África.

O principal objetivo do projeto é criar comunidades saudáveis, por meio de ações sociais criativas.

Seus principais valores são:

•Comunidade

•Responsabilidade

•Integridade

•Dignidade

•Didática

Desde sua fundação, o BWM já construiu 3 clínicas, ajudou a fazer com que 17.580 pessoas fizessem o teste HIV e já atendeu a 22.076 casos, em diversas comunidades africanas. Isso constitui a face "blood" (sangue) do projeto.

No aspecto "água limpa", 859 projetos foram realizados, 570.000 foram atendidas, em um total de 11 países, ao longo do continente Africano, entre eles República Africana Central, Quênia, Uganda, Etiópia, Zâmbia e Ruanda.

Boa parte dos caminhantes foi de fãs de pelo menos uma das bandas que ataviam este encontro, que teve sua segunda edição realizada no Mangabeiras, são elas: Hanson, que está à frente do TTW; Jars of Clay, fundadores do BWM e Sixpence, que apóia o BWM e são amigos do Jars of Clay. Porém, naquele dia houve apenas um foco, por parte de fãs e não fãs, que entenderam o chamado ao envolvimento pessoal com a crise de AIDS na África.

É comum nas caminhadas do TTW, que as pessoas caminhem descalças, como uma forma de ilustrar e se conectar com os africanos que nem mesmo gozam do conforto proporcionado por um par de sapatos. Várias pessoas tiraram seus sapatos e caminharam descalças pelas ladeiras de pedras do Circuito da Mata do Mangabeiras, até o Mirante, onde encerramos, com brados de “I took the walk”, em vários idiomas e sotaques.

O TTW doará 1$ em nome de cada pessoa que caminhou. Explicamos como esse valor se encaixa na equação em que $1 representa o fornecimento de água limpa a um Africano, por um ano.

1$ = 1 Africano com Água Limpa por 1 ano.

A caminhada de Belo Horizonte também serviu sua comunidade local, ao sugerir que cada caminhante trouxesse consigo 1kg de alimento não-perecível, ou 1l de leite longa-vida, para doarmos a uma instituição local. A resposta foi novamente supreendente, pois as doações também superaram a expectativa. Contamos com a presença de representantes da JOCUM, contemplada pela caminhada, além de adolescentes amparados pela Casa Restauração JOCUM.

Novamente, a Take the Walk BH foi um exemplo de engajamento individual de voluntários com a justiça social, desenvolvimento da percepção mundial e ações solícitas. Pessoas que apesar de não conhecerem de perto as comunidades atendidas, procuram manter um relacionamento com elas, pelo qual também se sentem transformados.

Caros Jarsofclayanos ^^

O mundo Jars está parado no momento, pois não estão mais em tour e estão trabalhando em cd novo ^^

Hoje recebi a newsletter, mais alguém? Se não recebeu, é só se cadastrar no site.

Como o Jars informou, eles terminaram recentemente a Creation Fest: The Tour - que estamos spamzando por ai, pedindo assinaturas para nossa petição.

Depois da CF, não fizeram mais shows, só em casa, com família, twittando, indo a jogos, vendo jogos na TV, recomendando mídias, cds ...

Para o restante do ano, eles vão fazer shows em uma tour coletiva de Natal, de poucos shows. As bandas com quem vao tocar são Bebo Norman e Henry Brothers.

Eles twittaram hoje sobre a promo que a Family Christian Book Store está fazendo, para o cd LFBTE, por apenas $8.97 - até 3 de Dez. Aproveitem!

Semana passada, no Grey's Anatomy, a música "Drummer Boy" tocou no episódio #610 "Holidaze". Dá para ver o episódio no site do GA.

Como informei semana passada também, no tópico da BWM, o Jars esteve com o Senador Paul Simon, ontem, 23 de Novembro, na Belmont University em Nashville, apoiando a campanha Water for the World, cuja meta é atingir 100 milhões de pessoas com acesso auto-sustentável à água potavel, pela primeira vez, além de saneamento, até 2015.

No twitter postaram fotos do Dan palestrando. Estava presente também o Senador Bob Corker, falando sobre a proposta. Nessa foto podemos ver o Dan e o pessoal ali do lado:

Encontro de Fãs e Projeto Take the Walk, em apoio a Blood:Water Mission

2009-10-26T15:28:00.003-02:00

^ II Encontro de Fãs de Jars of Clay, Sixpence None The Richer e Hanson - BH ^

Projeto Take the Walk, em apoio a Blood:Water Mission

Pessoal, não sei se todos aqui sabem que no dia 10 de Janeiro deste ano, foi realizado o "I Encontro de Fans de JoC, Sixpence e Hanson, em Brasília", em favor do projeto BWM, através do Take the Walk.

A idéia é a seguinte. O Hanson iniciou o projeto Take the Walk há um tempo e desde então já caminharam o suficiente para dar uma volta ao mundo. Eles participaram em praticamente metade das caminhadas e descalços. Exato, eles convidam as pessoas a tirarem os seus sapatos, num ato de reconhecimento a realidade das criancas e adultos africanos que caminham horas em terreno seco, em busca de água - suja! Caminhar calçado, ou descalco não muda a realidade de ninguém, sabemos disso, mas pode causar um impacto e deixar as pessoas com uma pulga atrás da orelha, com respeito a esta tomada de atitude por parte de tantas pessoas e pode despertar nelas, um interesse em ajudar. Porém o Hanson não somente incentiva e caminha junto, mas tambám doa 1 dolar ao projeto escolhido, em nome de cada pessoa que caminhou, ou seja, você não precisa doar nada. Tanto faz se for em uma caminhada em que eles estão, ou não. As causas ajudadas são: Construcão de Escolas, Construção de Cisternas d'água (BWM), Sapatos, Medicamentos, Assistencia à Maternidade etc.

Os fans do Hanson queriam organizar uma caminhada em BH pelo projeto Take The Walk, igual a que tivemos em Brasília este ano, em nosso encontro.

Além de Brasilia, essa caminhada já foi realizada por fans do Hanson, duas vezes, em São Paulo. A caminhada em Brasília tinha como causa a ser ajudada, o projeto do Jars of Clay, Blood:Water Mission. As caminhadas em SP visavam a construção de mais escolas, na África.

Visto que nossa caminhada em BH já estava pré-arranjada, convidamos o pessoal do Hanson a se unirem a nós, uma vez que nosso intuito maior com o encontro de fãs é ajudar a BWM. Logo, teriamos mais pessoas em nosso encontro e mais pessoas, significam mais dólares doados ao BWM.

Além de ajudar o projeto BWM, também vamos reunir fãs do Jars, Sixpence e Hanson, para um dia de muita música e diversão. A turma do Hanson está prometendo aparecer em massa. Temos adeptos fans do Sixpence vindo de outras cidades, precisamos dos fans do JoC lá com a gente, assim fortaleceremos o evento. Será uma ótima oportunidade para conhecermos varias pessoas legais. Estaremos todos em família, já que Jars e Sixpence são bandas irmãs e o Jars tem muitos trabalhos com o Hanson, tanto sociais, como musicais, que compartilham da mesma matriz cristã das outras bandas na composição de suas músicas.

Nosso encontro será dia 10 de Janeiro de 2010, no Domingo, em Belo Horizonte, no Parque dos Mangabeiras, as 10:00 da manhã. Vamos nos reunir em frente a portaria principal, aquela lá dentro do Parque. Vocês podem chegar aqui no Sábado, pra gente já entrar no clima. Podemos receber os visitantes na rodoviária, ou aeroporto e tentaremos acomodar os visitantes de alguma forma, se possível. Quem for de BH, sinta-se a vontade para levar amigos e familiares, mesmo se não curtirem a música, pois podem registrar que caminharam 1 milha, em favor da África!

Temos uma comunidade da caminhada, para discutir e articular as questões relacionadas. Estamos decidindo a camisa do evento agora, acho legal se todos também aparecessem por lá, para ajudarem a construir o evento.

http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Community?cmm=94397693

Naum se esqueçam que o encontro nos aproxima e ajuda as pessoas atendidas pelo BWM nas comunidades Africanas.
A página do projeto Take the Walk já oficializou a nossa caminhada, confiram:

Petição Oficial: Jars of Clay no Brasil!

2009-09-30T20:00:00.005-03:00

Ainda estaremos em algum dia noticiando que Jars of Clay esteve no Brasil e fez história. Mas enquanto isso não chega, o que resta é esperar... será? Ficaremos de braços cruzados esperando que as bandas venham até nós de acordo com o sucesso no hemisfério norte? Ou então, se não for pedir demais, faremos um abaixo assinado para que a banda venha até nós?

Uma dessas possibilidades está em andamento. Trata-se de uma petição organizada por Juca of Clay, um fã da banda que mora nos EUA e que tem se esforçado para que essa possibilidade esteja mais próxima.

Atualmente, como noticiado aqui, a banda e outras estão participando da Turnê Creation Fest. O organizador do evento, Harry Thomas, tomou conhecimento do interesse de nosso país em receber as bandas da turnê, inclusive, é claro, JARS!, e aceitou com alegria a realização desta petição.

Ou seja: a possibilidade de as bandas virem para o Brasil (na petição também estão relacionadas as bandas Sixpence None The Richer, Leeland, Switchfoot, etc) está em nossas mãos! Penso que é muito melhor um evento desses acontecer do que esperar que a banda desembarque por aqui daqui a muito tempo ou talvez, nem isso...

Super indico que assinem e divulguem para o máximo de pessoas possíveis. Só a nossa manifestação pode trazer neste momento bandas como essas!!!

Turnê Long Fall Back To Earth

Ao longo dos últimos meses, além de grandes shows em Cincinnati, Goshen e todo o sul da Califórnia, os caras tem participado de alguns eventos muito especiais. Num deles que se tornou um encontro anual, a banda tocou no concerto antes do jogo de baseball Nashville Sounds AAA em 9 de julho. Os shows tem muito a ver com o Projeto Blood: Water Mission, que utilizam estes concertos para angariar fundos e conscientização. A Blood: Water Mission já ajudou diversas comunidades na África.

Em 11 jul, os caras jogado após um Minnesota Twins jogo (foto acima), em um concerto patrocinado pelos nossos amigos na KTIS. A banda começou a reunir alguns dos jogadores e ainda foram capazes de deitar fora o primeiro arremesso! (Andrew Osenga preenchido por Matt naquela noite).

Confira a foto à direita de Steve, no FishFest "balançando" em 2009, em Los Angeles. Foto cortesia de Jeff Wallace.

WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO FALL

2009-08-02T04:24:00.002-03:00

Waiting For The World To Fall

I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now i've grown beyond the walls to where i've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life i lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who i am to you

I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

When i catch the light of falling stars
My view is changing me (my view is changing me)
My view is changing me (my view is changing me)

I'm waiting
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come (2x)

I'm waiting to let my world come undone

HEART

2009-08-02T03:29:00.002-03:00

Heart

I let it get dark, so you’ll see the stars
They’ll say we’re in love, we probably are
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

One flag left to burn, one country to fall
One soul to pour out, one love to catch all
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Offer your heart, I’ve given you mine

HEAVEN

2009-08-02T03:15:00.001-03:00

Heaven

Go undercover, we drop from the screens
We're hunters and lions, we are submarines
Under the surface, slip through the wires
Decipher the code words, disable the liars

And find, glowing on the inside
What's growing on the inside
Heaven's not that far
Glowing on the inside
Showing on the inside
It's growing where we are

We shatter devices, exit the stage
We stop masquerading, to rattle the cage
We face every searchlight at places we hide
We dress up for Eden, the gates open wide

We are, we are, we are
We're hunters and lions
We go undercover, we cover, we cover

SCENIC ROUTE

2009-08-02T03:10:00.010-03:00

Scenic Route

Don’t turn your back on me
Or read in between my words
I’m trying to drag this out
Taking the scenic route

I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to
But that isn’t what you and I came here to do

No nails to untie the knots
No veins left to take the shots
No touch to end a fight
Or letting who’s wrong be right

We’re just sitting like novels we’ve picked up but never read through
You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too
You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new

Even though we know the sun will rise
Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise

Baby, leave it all behind
Baby, leave it all behind
Missed a road sign
I don’t want to get home soon
Drive the car all the way around the moon
Baby, we could get lost
We have another state to cross
We could find each other out
Tell our secrets on the scenic route
I don’t want to get home soon
Drive the car around the moon
I don’t want to crush you or rush you
I’m not going faster if you want to and if you want to
I don’t want to rush you or crush you
But I won’t go faster if you want to
It’s not what we came here to do
I just want to drive
I just want to drive

LOVE WON'T LET US

2009-08-02T03:10:00.008-03:00

Love won't let us

I had a revelation, I had a good thought
I sold it for comfort now and look what I got
I pledged my allegiance and lied my way out
I'm climbing to Jesus on the breaks in the doubt
Breaks in the doubt

Love, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here

My hands are too clean, and my head is a mess
But things are gonna get dirty when we confess
There's water in the river and love in the air
Gravity is shifting to lift off your care
To lift off your care

Love, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here
Love, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here

Love won't let us out of here alive
Love, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here
Love, no, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here
Love, it won't let us out of here
It won't let us out of here, out of here
Alive

Tradução

Love won't let us (O Amor não nos deixará)

I had a revelation, I had a good thought (Eu tive uma revelação, tive uma boa idéia)
I sold it for comfort now and look what I got (e a vendi por conforto, agora, veja o que me restou)
I pledged my allegiance and lied my way out (empenhei a minha fidelidade e me safei com mentiras)
I'm climbing to Jesus on the breaks in the doubt (estou escalando rumo a Jesus, em intervalos entremeados na dúvida)
Breaks in the doubt (intervalos entremeados na dúvida)

Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)
It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)

My hands are too clean, and my head is a mess (Minhas mãos estão limpas demais e minha consciência está em destroços)
But things are gonna get dirty when we confess (mas a coisa vai ficar feia, quando confessarmos)
There's water in the river and love in the air (Há água no rio e o amor está no ar)
Gravity is shifting to lift off your care (O peso está mudando, para decolar de seus cuidados)
To lift off your care (para decolar de seus cuidados)

Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)
It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)
Love, it won't let us out of here (O Amor não nos deixará sair daqui)
It won't let us out of here (não nos deixará sair daqui)

Santo Agostinho condenou a mentira. Para ele, não havia circunstâncias pelas quais alguém deveria mentir. Antes de mentir, o homem deveria optar por ser assassinado, torturado, ou passar por alguma outra dificuldade, mesmo se mentir fosse sua única forma de proteção. Dois de seus argumentos foram:

* "Mentir é a perversão da faculdade natural de discursar, cujo fim natural é comunicar os pensamentos do orador"
* "Quando alguém mente, menospreza a confiança na sociedade."

THERE MIGHT BE A LIGHT

2009-08-02T03:07:00.002-03:00

There Might Be a Light

I wait outside your house
And sing below your window
And I look for the light to show,
I knowI know that it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon

There might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I wait for it to shine
I know it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon
It will come on, come on soon

And it’s just the way things go
When you love someone and they don’t know
Sparks and hearts, they have to glow
They just glow, they just glow
You know they just come on, come on, come on, come on
They just come on, come on, come on

There is no delusion, to you I don’t exist
I am only shadow
Only a ghost can wait as long as I have for this
And I, I can’t wait much longer

‘Cause there might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I know there will be a light
It might not burn very strong
But I know it’s coming on
It will come on, come on, come on

BOYS (LESSON ONE)

2009-08-02T03:03:00.003-03:00

Boys (Lesson One)

Lesson one - do not hide
Lesson two - there are right ways to fight
And if you have questions
We can talk through the night

So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I’ve been where you’re going
And it’s not that far
It’s too far to walk
But you don’t have to run
You’ll get there in time

Lesson three - you’re not alone
Not since I saw you start breathing on your own
You can leave, you can run, this will still be your home

So you know who you are
And you know what you want
I’ve been where you’re going
And it’s not that far
It’s too far to walk
But you don’t have to run
You’ll get there in time
Get there in time

In time, to wonder where the days have gone
In time, to be old enough to wish that you were young
When good things are unraveling, bad things come undone
You weather love and lose your innocence

There will be liars and thieves who take from you
Not to undermine the consequence
But you are not what you do
And when you need it most
I have a hundred reasons why I love you

If you weather love and lose your innocence
Just remember - lesson one

FORGIVE ME

2009-08-02T02:59:00.002-03:00

Forgive Me

Well, I tried to figure out all the mysteries of love
I made confessions under pure duress
I thought that everything was meaningless

As far as the eye could see
As deep as the heart could be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me
Forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For things to be more clear
And now I’m so afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

For every town there is a crier
Like a thief in every choir
And when I think of the mistakes I’ve made
All my transgressions on a big parade

As far as the eye can see
As deep as the heart can be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me
Forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For something to be more clear
And now I’m so afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

As far as the eye can see
As deep as the heart can be
Such an impossibility that you would forgive me

I wasted another year, waiting for the words
For something to be more clear
But now I am afraid, if I find the words to say
Have I lost you anyway?

‘Cause I’ve found the words to say
I’ve been thinking them for days
And now I’m begging you to stay

TWO HANDS

2009-08-02T02:53:00.003-03:00

Two Hands

I’ve been living out of sanity
I’ve been splitting hairs and blurring lines
I am a house that is divided
In my heart and in my mind

I use one hand to pull closer
The other to push you away
If I had two hands doing the same thing
Lifted high, lifted high

I have a broken disposition
I’m a liar who thirsts for the truth
And while I ache for faith to hold me
I need to feel the scars and see the proof

I use one hand to pull closer
The other to push you away
If I had two hands doing the same thing 2X
Lifted high, lifted high

And if we just keep digging we can reach the foundation
Of our souls
And if we just keep cutting all the chains from our hearts
We’ll lose control

And it feels like giving in
It feels like starting over
It feels like waking up, and you know it’s coming
It feels like a brand new day
Open your eyes

If I had two hands doing the same thing 2X
Lifted high, lifted high

Lifted high

Love Is The Protest - Ao Vivo

Love Is The Protest - 2009

CLOSER

2009-08-02T01:53:00.002-03:00

Closer

Well you thought you let go
But you're still hanging on
Mother Earth slowing down
She's still spinning around
And we… are getting dizzy…

I'll drop out of the race
For more personal space
Cos the rockets we're in
Get so cold, and I miss your skin
It's just how I'm feeling

If you need more love well you've got to get close to me
If you want my love well you've got to get closer to me.

No unreachable itch,
If you hemorrhage I'll stitch
You are tears, I'm a cheek.
I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks

If you want my love well you've got to get close to me
If you need my love well you've got to get closer to me
Oooo if you want my love

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up (light up)

You're my shirt iron on. I'm the tick, You're the bomb
You're the 'L' and the 'V', I'm the 'O' and the 'E'
Am I speaking clearly?

If you want my love well you've got to get close to me.
Oooo, if you want my love

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up

Cos I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I miss the chills in my spine every time that we touch

SAFE TO LAND

2009-08-02T01:49:00.004-03:00

Safe To Land

Getting tired from all this circling
Not much grace left on a broken wing
I feel the wind trying to push me down
It happens every time I get to town

I search for shelter near the mines we swept
I guess forgiveness hasn’t happened yet
There are no words that I can say to you
That turn this careless sky from black to blue
So I’m asking you is it safe? Is it safe to land?
‘Cuz I’m not going far on an empty heart
Is it safe? Is it safe to land? It’s the long fall back to earth is the hardest part

I’m in no weather for apologies
I need your runway lights to burn for me
And if you say that I can come around
I’ll love you right, yea I won’t let you down, I won’t let you down

‘Cause I’m coming home, if these wheels touch down
I’m coming home I’m waking you up in the middle of the night I’m not giving up
I’m gonna stay ‘til we make it work
We’re not going down even if it gets worse
We’ll work it out. Yeah we’ll work it out.
I need light to guide me in
Oh, Yeah is it safe?

Sobre a Letra:

Dan Haseltine: “Muitas bandas escrevem músicas sobre estradas -- como a música ‘Faithfully’ do Journey -- sobre como é sentir falta da família quando se está na estrada -- mas ninguém escreve canções sobre como é voltar para casa depois de estar na estrada e tentar reconectar-se com sua família. Uma das partes mais difíceis de se viajar como artista é que, se você é casado e tem família, você acaba criando esses mundos diferentes. Você tem que criar, pois sua família tem que prosseguir e continuar a viver enquanto se está fora e você tem que encontrar uma forma de existir, enquanto está longe de sua familia. Então quanto se reencontram, parece ser um quebra-cabeca totalmente novo, tentar entender como você se encaixa com os demais. Portanto, essa musica faz esse tipo de pergunta, "Como você reconquista sua estabilidade como família, depois de tanto tempo separados?"

HEADPHONES

2009-08-02T01:43:00.002-03:00

Headphones

I don’t have to hear it, if I don’t want to
I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you
It’s a heavy world, it’s too much for me to care
If I close my eyes, it’s not there

With my headphones on, with my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

We watch television...but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt
I take in the war-fires, and I’m chilled by the current events
It’s so hopeless, but there’s a pop song in my

Headphones on, in my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

At the Tube Stop, you sit down across from me
(I can see you looking back at me)
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
I want to tell you (It’s a heavy world)
Everything will be okay
You wouldn’t hear it (I donÂ’t want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways…

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
I don’t wanna be the one who tries to figure it out
I don’t need another reason I should care about you
You don’t want to know my story
You don’t want to own my pain
Living in a heavy, heavy world
And there’s a pop song in my head
I don’t want to have to hear it

WEAPONS

2009-08-02T01:41:00.001-03:00

Weapons

Hallelujah, we can finally hear
It's a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall.

Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you.

Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn't notice that grace had run so thin
Till we're falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let the truth sink in.

HERO

2009-08-02T01:37:00.002-03:00

Hero

One spot on an empty canvas
One chair in an empty room
No place for a revolution
No hope if the signs are true

We stand at the edge of something
Will we ever know what it is
Hold on 'cause the wind is rising
And we can't get away from it

We’re in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadow land
We sing while the city's burning
No room, no escape, no plan
We all never thought it would end this way

And we need a hero
To save us from ourselves
We need a hero
To save us from ourselves

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

We hide on our knees in silence
Maybe God doesn't hear at all
And the wait overtakes the violence
And we watch as the giants fall
We're not gonna let it end this way

DON'T STOP

2009-08-02T01:33:00.003-03:00

Don't Stop

You told them that I hung the moon
It was a lonely sliver hanging from the sky
I said I put it there for you
I didn’t think that it would make you cry

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now

My recurring dream of you
Starlight in your eyes and music everywhere
I am dancing close to you
There are no days or nights we’ve left behind

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
When you’re running, you’re running far away
And you don’t know what to do with all my love
Don’t stop for me now

Why is it so hard to say that you need me
The way that I need you

There are no days, there are no nights, we’ve left them all behind
And you can run so far that I won’t reach
There are no places I won’t find you

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
You keep running, yeah you’re running far away
When all I want to do is be with you my love
You can run so far, run so far, my love
By the light of the moon I will get to you somehow
So don’t stop for me now

EVERTHING IN BETWEEN

2009-08-02T01:08:00.002-03:00

Everything In Between

Must have thought I was so strong
Might have ever thought I was the one for this all along

But I can't even dream
Or imagine how it seems
To carry the weight of this crown

[Chorus:]

It's not as easy as it seems
To carry the weight of your dreams
Hiding in the shadows
It's not as easy as it seems
With Pharaoh and angel and everything in between (counting on hope)

I might have come to a similar conclusion
Only mixed up in the wake of confusion
That the glamour was mine
Though the power divine
To carry the weight of this crown

I don't know why I see your fire
Carry me over
Stay this way...

WONDERFUL CHRISTIMAS TIME

2009-08-02T00:50:00.000-03:00

Wonderful Christmas Time

The mood is right
The spirit's up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Don't look down

The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

The mood is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough...

LOVE CAME DOWN AT CHRISTIMAS

2009-08-02T00:42:00.001-03:00

Love Came Down At Christmas

Love Came Down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?

Love will be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love from God to all of us,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

2009-08-02T00:36:00.003-03:00

In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone,
Snow had fallen – snow on snow, snow on snow, on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man, I would do my part,
What I can I give him – give my heart.

Angels wreathed in singing, host of Heaven adore,
Star beheld with glory that did not shine before,
Shepherds fear the blinding light, haste to understand,
In the bleak midwinter, peace for child, for man.

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTIMAS DAY

2009-08-02T00:33:00.002-03:00

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.

"Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

GABRIEL'S MESSAGE

2009-08-02T00:30:00.001-03:00

Gabriel's Message

The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
"All hail" said he "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured maid," Gloria!

"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
By seers foretold
Most highly favoured maid," Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name.
"Most highly favoured maid Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world forever saved
Most highly favoured maid Gloria!

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

2009-08-02T00:18:00.002-03:00

Little Drummer Boy

Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
A newborn king to see (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
To lay before the king (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])

So, to honor him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
When we come.

Little baby (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I am a poor boy, too (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I have no gifts to bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
That's fit to give a king (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])
Shall i play for you (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
On my drum.

Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my drum for him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my best for him (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])
Then he smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Me and my drum.

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

2009-08-02T00:11:00.001-03:00

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may his His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN

2009-08-02T00:09:00.000-03:00

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ the Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we had gone astray

[Chorus]
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
O tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our Heav'nly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Bro't tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

[Chorus]

PEACE IS HERE

2009-08-02T00:07:00.000-03:00

Peace Is Here

Little children, born to chaos, sojourn by the stars appear,
Though your fears wrap all around you, love has come and peace is here.

Men to men, in violent rapture,
Wars lay sons in fields unknown,
Hope to quell the disappointment,
Justice born and mercy shown,

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here.

Angels sing in righteous envy,
Kings of Earth kneel by the throne,
Born to push against the fall, as far as the curse is found.

Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na.

Gloria, Gloria, (peace is here)
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

WINTER SKIN

2009-08-02T00:06:00.002-03:00

Winter Skin

We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
And we watch the snowfall.

We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
We put on our winter skin…our winter skin, and walk,
And we watch the snowfall.

And we watch the snowfall.

LIGHT GIVES HEAT

2009-08-01T23:58:00.002-03:00

Light Gives Heat

Catch the rain empty hands,
Save the children from their lands,
Wash the darkness from their skin.

Heroes from the West,
We don't know you, we know best.
But this is not a test.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

It's not the way to light their way,
Boys in holes and empty fields,
Oh, how good it feels.
Lower class, and understate, empty promise, empty plate.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

You treat me like I'm blind, setting fires around houses on the hill,
But light gives heat.
You segregate my mind, burning crosses from your fears, your fears,
But light gives heat.

Will you teach us how to love? To see the things you see,
Walk the road you walk, and feel the pain that you feel.
At your feet I kneel, I want to see you shine,
See your light not mine... 'cause light gives heat...
Your light gives heat... gives heat.

WATER UNDER THE BRIGDE

2009-08-01T23:55:00.002-03:00

Water Under The Bridge

I do not love you the way I did when we met.
There are secrets and arguments I haven't finished yet.
But it's only that grace has outlived our regret that we're still here.

So maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge.

There are times meant for breaking, and words to ignore,
And a bent to our souls when our skin is at war.
And if leaving were freedom, well, we'd both walk right out of that door.

Maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows.

And the years roll by, and you hold my hand, while the shadows stretch over the land.
Crumble and fall in my arms, and we'll struggle to hold on.
Waters they rise and they carry our hopes and dreams away, baby we can stay, stay.

And the years roll by, and you hold my hand, while the shadows stretch over the land.

Maybe we can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay, till the last drop of water flows under the bridge,
We can stay till the last drop of water flows under the bridge.

MIRRORS & SMOKE

2009-08-01T23:45:00.002-03:00

Mirrors & Smoke

I'm feeling older than my years, I'm feeling pain inside my chest.
You know it's love that keeps me silent, it's my silence you detest.
Rivers flow into the ocean, and oceans never fill,
I want to kiss your lips but I know I never will.

Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke,
So my love will keep you wishing,
And my heart will keep me broke.

I give you flowers, give you candy to even out the guilt.
I send you greeting cards with messages that I could never write.
Rivers flow into the oceans, and oceans never fill,
I want to let you know me, but I know I never will.

Love's a contradiction made of mirrors and smoke,
So my love will keep you wishing,
And my heart it makes me broke.

You will always want me, and I'll always want to leave.
Even though I cut your wounds, you still deny they're real.
Rivers flow into the oceans, and oceans never fill,
I want to lay my life down, but I know you never will.

Love's a strange condition with all the doubts it can invoke,
Your love keeps me wishing, and my heart it keeps me broke.

Baby, don't you cry 'cause I got it all figure out.
You'll always make me sad, but that's what true love is all about.
Rivers never fill the oceans, but oceans always feel...
The waters reaching deep inside them, I guess they always will.

Loves a constant mission, truer words were never spoke,
So my love will keep you wishin' and my heart will keep me broke.....

Keeps me wishing, my heart it makes me broke....mirrors and smoke.

SURPRISE

2009-08-01T23:41:00.002-03:00

Surprise

Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away,
It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay.
Every crash pulls you in reach,
Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach,

These are just placebos to make us feel all right,
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high,
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise,
For a moment something restless caught you by surprise,
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

We are so beautiful when we sleep,
Hearts of gold and eyes so.. deep, deep, deep.
But love won't cure the chaos, and hope won't hide the loss,
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause.
And love is wild for reasons, and hope though short in sight,
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Dream, little ones..
See the world that's just begun.

Love is wild for reasons, and hope though short in sight,
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise,
For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise.....

Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise.

GOOD MONSTERS

2009-08-01T23:37:00.002-03:00

Good Monsters

All the good monsters open their eyes,
To see the wasteland where the home fires rise,
And the people shouting why, why, why...
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?

All of the giants wake from their sleep,
And roll outside of safety's keep,
And the pain makes them feel so alive
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?

And we are bored of all the things we know
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?

Not all monsters are bad, but the ones who are good
Never do what they could, never do what they could

All the good monsters rattle their chains,
And dance around the open flames,
And they make a lot of empty noise.

While all of the bright eyes turn away,
As if there wasn't anything to say,
About the justice and the mystery.
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?

And we are bored of all the things we know
And we are forms of everything we love, we love.

If good won't show it's ugly face,
Evil won't you take your place
Nothing ever changes,
Nothing ever changes...
By itself.

Yeah....yeah...aaah

We are bored of all the things we know
Do you know what you are
'Cause we are, we are so in love with ourselves
And we are forms of all the things we love

TAKE ME HIGHER

2009-08-01T23:34:00.000-03:00

Take Me Higher

It took a lot to turn away
Blood and water from one side
It took your eyes to stare me down
It took the truth to set me free
To set me free

Looking for a place to hide
Waiting for the wind to rise
My soul is waiting
Looking for a place to hide
I need a little peace tonight

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, you are the only one
Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, yeah

Around the ceiling of the heart
Is where we feel the things that send us away
To where the blind can see the stars
So do you see the stars
Do you see the stars

Looking for a place to hide
I need a little peace tonight

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, you are the only one
Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, yeah

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, you are the only one
And you are the only one

THERE IS A RIVER

2009-08-01T23:31:00.001-03:00

There is a River

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own...

For all of your tears,
Are the wages for things you have done.
On all of those nights,
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind.

Give it up, Let go.
These are things you were never meant to shoulder,

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of your tears, love will atone

So, give up the right,
To control the waves that empty at your life
Above wild skies,
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

Give it up, let go.
These are things you were never meant to shoulder.
Give it up, Let go...

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of these things, love will atone

I know the world can turn in different ways.
Most of the time we're simply hangin on.
But under the signs of how we all behave,
We might find the place where we belong...

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of these things, love will atone
For all of those nights, you cried all alone
For all of your tears... love will atone.

WORK

2009-08-01T23:13:00.001-03:00

Work

Just in case
I will leave my things packed
So I can run away
I cannot trust these voices
I don't have a lot of prospects
That can give some kind of peace
There is nothing left to cling to
That can bring me sweet release

I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing
That's taking all this work

Do you know
What I mean
When I say
"I don't wanna be alone"
What I mean
When I say
"I don't wanna be alone"

Empty spaces
Shadows hit by street lights
The warning signs and weight
Of tired conversations

In the absence of a shoulder
In the absence of a thief
On the brink of this destruction
On the eve of bittersweet
Now all the demons look like prophets
And I'm living out
Every word they speak
Every word they speak

Do you know
What I mean
When I say
"I don't wanna be alone"
What I mean
When I say
"I don't wanna be alone"

I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing
It's taking all this work

SUNNY DAYS

2009-07-23T17:18:00.003-03:00

Sunny Days

Sunny days keepin' the clouds away
I think we're coming to a clearing and a brighter day

So far away. Still I think they say
The wait will make the heart grow stronger or fonder
I can't quite remember anyway

So if you're waitin' for love
Well it's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

Winter, Spring..is what love can truly bring
Ice turns to water, water flows to everything
You can lose your mind, maybe then your heart you'll find
I hope you won't give up what's movin' you inside

So if you're waitin' for love
Well it's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

So if you're waitin' for love
Well it's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

If the car won't start, when you turn the key
When the music comes on, all your cold, cold heart can do is skip a beat

It's a promise I'll keep
When you're waitin' for love
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter
So if you're waitin' for love
It's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

AMAZING GRACE

2009-07-23T17:09:00.002-03:00

Amazing Grace

I grew this heart into a drifter
I never felt the roots I bare
I sold my sight, oh brother, sister
For a mountain of fool's gold, it's gone
Only God knows, God knows where

My soul was restless for redemption
My feet were lookin' for a place to stand
Well I ain't got no life
And you know I ain't got no money
Just the faith of an empty hand

Amazing Grace I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is risin', heat on my face
Oh love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
Ya know I gotta feel your healin' rays

I hitched a ride, I was a beggar
I had murder on my hands
I needed water to rinse these stains
But only blood could remove what's spillin'
And pardon me the blame

MY HEAVENLY

2009-07-23T16:46:00.002-03:00

My Heavenly

Let the wind fall wild across my path
Even though we barely move, there's no turning back
There is a river, there is a road, place of holy riches untold
It's where I'm supposed to be... my heavenly

I know it never feels right to let go of the safety we're used to holding so tight
But there's a lion underneath these skies
Though love cries, love will rise... my, my, my heavenly

So fly me higher, higher, hope fill me, keep me here
Love lion, my, my...

So when I'm lonely or when I'm old, life is more behind me
All the stories have been told
I can fix my gaze up through the clouds
Where I'm gonna be, where I'm gonna be... my heavenly
My, my heavenly
My heavenly

JESUS, I LIFT MY EYES

2009-07-23T16:01:00.002-03:00

Jesus, I Lift My Eyes

When sins and fears prevailing rise
And fainting hope almost expires
Jesus to Thee I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

Are You not mine, my living Lord
And can my hope, my comfort die
Fixed on the everlasting word
That word which built the earth and sky

Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires
Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I lift my eyes

Here let my faith unshaken dwell
Immovable the promise stands
Not all the powers of earth or hell
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands
Jesus to Thee I lift my eyes

Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires
Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I lift my eyes

Here oh my soul
Thy trust repose
If Jesus is forever mine

Not death itself that last of foes
Can break a union so divine

Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires
Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul's desires

O COME AND MOURN WITH ME AWHILE

2009-07-23T15:38:00.002-03:00

O Come and Mourn With Me Awhile

O Come and Mourn with me awhile
O come near to the Savior’s side
O come together, let us mourn
Jesus our lord is crucified

Seven times he spoke
Seven words of love
And all three hours, his silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men
Jesus our Lord is crucified

O Love of God O sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains with love
Jesus our lord is crucified

O break, O break hard heart of mind
My weak self love and guilty pride
His Pilate and his Judas were
Jesus our lord is crucified

O love of god o sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains in love
Jesus our lord is crucified

O Come and mourn with me awhile
A broken heart a fount of tears
Ask and they will not be denied
A broken heart love’s cradle is
Jesus our Lord is crucified
Jesus our Lord is crucified
Jesus our Lord is crucified

Our Lord is crucified
And victory remains with love
Jesus our lord is crucified
O love of God o sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains with love
Jesus our lord is crucified

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD

2009-07-23T15:30:00.001-03:00

Nothing But The Blood

What can wash away my sin
What can make me whole again
For my pardon this I see
For my cleansing this my plea

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Not of good that I have done
This is all my hope and peace
This is all my righteousness

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
And no other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus

Now by this I'll overcome
Now by this I'll reach my home
Glory, glory, this I see
All my praise for this I bring
All my praise for this I bring
All my praise for this I bring

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus

TROUBLE IS

2009-07-23T14:38:00.002-03:00

Trouble Is

My wings don't sail me to the sky
On my own these wings won't fly
Jesus told me so
Still, i'm not so sure that i know

Can't find no rest for my soul
Can't find no rest on my own
Jesus told me so
Still, i'm not so sure that i know

Chorus:
Man, the trouble is
We don't know who we are instead
Man, the trouble is
We don't know who we are instead

I keep runnin' the other way
My heart ain't built to stay
My heart ain't built to stay
And the world just ain't that way

[CHORUS]

We don't know who we are instead

My heart ain't built to stay
I said, my heart, well, it ain't built to stay
Jesus told me so

ON JORDAN"S STOMY BANKS I STAND

2009-07-23T14:03:00.002-03:00

On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God, the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away.

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

No chilling wind nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

When shall I see that happy place
And be forever blessed
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land
I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

ONLY ALIVE

2009-07-23T13:39:00.002-03:00

Only Alive

I'm a fair-weather friend
I'm a colorless view
But i'm willin' to make a deal
If you think you can make some faith here inside
I'll drive off and marry you

Chorus:
I'm only alive with you
I can't get by and i won't get through
So put me in the river and let me say i do
I'm only alive with you

You're a sight for sore eye
Sand a newborn cry
In a year where there are so few
If you throw me a line, i'll show you in time
I'm fallin' in love with you

[CHORUS]

Though my heart has been torn
The loves i have worn
And i'm tempted by them ever still
I tremble inside when you walk in the room
You hold my affections and will

[CHORUS x 2]

You pick me up and say i look like you
Though it makes no sense to me
You make me believe that i could trust someone
That i could ever trust someone
I could ever trust someone
I could ever trust someone
I could ever trust someone

Sing another love song
Sing another love song
Sing another love song
Sing another love song

I walk through flame, i touch the fire
You know that i still burn for you
Flood water rain crash down
Soak the ground
Still i thirst for you
Still i thrist for you

Nah-nah's

Sing another love song
Sing another love song

Though it makes no sense to me
You make me wanna sing
Make me wanna sing

THOU LOVELY SOURCE OF TRUE DELIGHT

2009-07-23T13:25:00.001-03:00

Thou Lovely Source Of True Delight

Thou lovely source of true delight whom I unseen adore
Unveil Thy beauties to my sight that I might love Thee more
Oh that I might love Thee more

Thy glory o'er creation shines yet in Thy sacred word
I read in fairer brighter lines my bleeding, dying Lord
Oh my bleeding, dying Lord

'Tis here whene'er my comforts droop and sin and sorrows rise
Thy love with cheering beams of hope my fainting heart supplies
My fainting heart's supplied

And ah too soon the pleasing scene is clouded over with pain
My gloomy fears rise dark between and I again complain
Oh and I again complain

Jesus my Lord, my life, my light, oh come with blissful ray
Break radiant through the shades of night and chase my fears away
Won't you chase my fears away

Then shall my soul with rapture trace the wonders of Thy love
But the full glories of Thy face are only known above
They are only known above

Oh come let us adore
My bleeding dying Lord

IT IS WELL

2009-07-23T13:18:00.002-03:00

It Is Well

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
What ever my lot you have taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

Though the devil will ruin, though trials may come
Let this blessed assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And He shed His own blood for my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
And the clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

I'LL FLY AWAY

2009-07-23T13:11:00.002-03:00

I'll Fly Away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To a land on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallellujah by and by, I'll fly away

I'M IN THE WAY

2009-07-22T23:51:00.000-03:00

I'm In The Way

You sit and stare out at the sky
And think of aways to fake a smile
But life is never waht it seems
Sometimes it only takes a while

I'm in the way of fallin' down
I won't let you go that for now
I'm in the way of fallin' down
I won't let you go that for now

If you think that hope was left behind
I picked it up a mile ago
And i am running close behind
So don't give up and don't let go

OH MY GOD

2009-07-22T23:41:00.000-03:00

Oh My God

Oh my God, look around this place,
Your fingers reach around the bone,
You set the break and set the tone
For flights of grace, and future falls
In present pain all fools say, "Oh my God."

Oh my God, why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed,
There is no cure for our disease.
Turn a phrase and rise again,
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friends,Oh My God.

Oh my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief.
Weddings, boats, and alibis,
All drift away, and a mother cries...

Liars and fools, sons and failures, theives will always say...
Lost and found, ailing wanderers, healers always say...
Whores and angels, men with problems, leavers always say...
Broken hearted, separated, orphans always say...
War creators, racial haters, preachers always say...
Distant fathers, fallen warriors, givers always say...
Pilgrim saints, lonely widows, users always say...
Fearful mothers, watchful doubters, Saviors always say...

Sometimes I can not forgive
And these days mercy cuts so deep,
If the world was how it should be,
Maybe I could get some sleep.
While I lay, I'd dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces lighter,
When we wake we hate our brother,
We still move to hurt each other,
Sometimes I can close my eyes
And all the fear the keeps me silent,
Falls below my heavy breathing,
what makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder,
we all have the need for wonder.
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the plunder.

Sometimes when I lose my grip,
I wonder what to make of heaven,
All the times I thought to reach up,
All the times I had to give up.
Babies underneath their beds,
In hospitals that can not treat them.
All the wounds that money causes,
All the comforts of cathedrals,
All the cries of thirsty children,
This is our inheritance,
All the rage of watching mothers,
This is our greatest offense
Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God.

LESSER THINGS

2009-07-22T23:21:00.000-03:00

Lesser Things

It Looks A lot like givin'up
Peace we bring is a bitter cup
Set our Bodies down like offerings
while why pray to the god of the lesser things

If the wind should shake this house apart
The cradle hits the ground whit a broken heart
Will we say we never knew a thing?
While we pray to the god of the lesser things

Is there grace for a wayward heart
Is there grace for a wayward heart
Grace, grace

Ash to ash and dust to dust
Steel on steel or rain to rust
What mortal breath blood money brings
Forth from the Altar of the lesser things

Is there grace for a wayward heart
Is there grace for a wayward heart
Grace, grace

LET US LOVE AND SING AND WONDER

2009-07-22T23:16:00.000-03:00

Let Us Love And Sing And Wonder

Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior's name
He has hushed the law's loud thunder
He has quenched Mt. Sinai's flame

Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by His grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes

He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He presents our souls to God

Let us wonder grace and justice
Join and point to mercy's store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more

He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
Has secured our way to God

Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted him before us
Now their praises fill the sky

He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He will bring us home to God

Show You Love

Speak
And say the words that no one else will ever say
Love
Love like the world we know is over in a day

Chorus:
I'm gonna show you love in every language
I'm gonna speak with words that need no form
I'm gonna give you what you never had before

And you're beautiful
And i am weakened by the force of your eyes
So shine bright
To separate the truth from the lies
I'm gonna show you love

Chorus

What you never had before
Had before

So tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect
No, i won't regret to let love do what love will let
And you can drown in mixed emotions and walk across an angry seat
His is the cost of being free

Chorus

i'm gonna show you love, love in every language
i'm gonna show you love you never had before
i'm gonna show you love, love in every language
i'm gonna show you love you never had before
i'm gonna show you love

THIS ROAD

2009-07-22T22:24:00.000-03:00

This Road

All heavy laden acquainted with sorrow
May Christ in our marrow carry us home
From alabaster come blessings of laughter
A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth

Grant the unbroken tears ever flowing
From hearts of contrition only for You
May sin never hold true that love never broke through
For God's mercy holds us and we are His own

This road that we travel may it be the straight and narrow
God, give us peace and grace from You, all the day
Shelter with fire, our voices we raise still higher
God, give us peace and grace from You, all the day through

THEY WILL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY YOUR LOVE

And we pray that our unity will one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yeah they'll know we are Christians by our love

We will work with each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yeah, they'll know we are Christians by our love

DEAD MAN

2009-07-22T22:10:00.000-03:00

Dead Man

January 1, I’ve got a lot of things on my mind
I’m looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Try to lift a finger, but I don’t think I can make the call
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don’t feel anything at all

Chorus:
So carry me
I’m just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can’t find a heartbeat
Make me breathe
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But it was better than the party full of people I didn’t really know
They’ve got hearts to break and burn
Dirty hands to feel the earth
There’s something in my veins
But I can’t seem to make it work…won’t work

Chorus

Can you find a beat inside of me?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Inside of me, can you find a beat?

Chorus

GOD BE MERCIFUL TO ME

2009-07-22T22:08:00.000-03:00

God be merciful to me

God be merciful to me on Thy grace, I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion Thou
Blot out my transgressions now

Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, oh, cleanse me from my sin

My transgressions I confess
Grief and guilt my soul oppress
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face

I confess Thy judgment just
Speechless, I, Thy mercy trust

I am evil born in sin
Thou desirest truth within
Thou alone my Savior art
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart

Make me pure, Thy grace bestow
Wash me whiter than the snow

Gracious God, my heart renew
Make my spirit right and true
Thy salvation's joy impart
Steadfast make my willing heart
Steadfast make my willing heart

Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice

From my sins, oh, hide Thy face
Blot them out in boundless grace

THE VALLEY SONG

2009-07-22T21:59:00.000-03:00

The Valley Song

You have led me to the sadness
I have carried this pain
On a back bruised, nearly broken
I'm crying out to you

Chorus
I will sing of Your mercy
That leads me through valleys of sorrow
To rivers of joy

When death like a gypsy
Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek your face

But I fear you aren't listening
Because there are no words
Just the stillness and the hunger
For a faith that assures

Chorus

Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

While we wait for rescue
With our eyes tightly shut
Face to the ground using our hands
To cover the fatal cut

Though the pain is an ocean
Tossing us around, around, around
You have calmed greater waters
Higher mountains have come down

Chorus

Alleluia, alleluia

REDEMPTION

2009-07-22T21:55:00.000-03:00

Redemption

We made it to a starnge town
Going down the wrong road
Like any story retold
Couldn't find a common ending
We're way gone, be gone, looking for our own way

We needed a distraction
You said you were redemption

We knew it as a wrong turn
We couldn't know the things we'd gain
When we reach the other border
We look out way down past the road we came from

We're looking for redemption
It was hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption

We were looking out past the road we came from

Looking at redemption
Hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption
In the eyes of sorrow, eyes of rage
What a sordid histories they played
The drama of redemption
Redemption

THE EDGE OF WATER

2009-07-22T21:51:00.003-03:00

The Edge of Water

Have you ever been haunted
The way I've been by you?
And have you ever felt
The measure of the days that I've spent waiting,
Pining for you?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
Til you're coming back again

I've dammed the emotions
To keep my lanterns lit
I'm shaken by this longing
That courses through my veins
In my mind I can't make sense of it

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Are you coming back again

Do we give up the search
And turn out the light?
And give up this holy ghost that
Rattles through the night?

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
Til you come back again

I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Will you chase away these shadows?
When you come back again

When You come back again…

Tradução

will you chase away these shadows (Você vai afugentar estas sombras)

when you come back again? (Quando você retornar?)

When you come back again (Quando você retornar?)

When you come back (Quando você retornar?)

When you come back again (Quando você retornar?)

When you come back (Quando você retornar?)

When you come back again (Quando você retornar?)

*Talvez a palavra Água aqui queira se referir especificamente a um rio, um lago, mas vou usaremos Água apenas.

Sobre a Letra:
"'The Edge of water' recebeu este título pois esta canção fala sobre o retorno de Cristo. É uma música que traça um paralelo entre nossa sêde pelo cumprimento do Reino de Deus, da mesma forma como uma pessoa tem sêde por água. Estamos à beira do penhasco olhando para a terra prometida lá embaixo ..." - Dan Haseltine

REVOLUTION

2009-07-22T21:45:00.000-03:00

Revolution

Peace takes a taxi to the underground.
I want to love the world but I don't know how.
I'll blame it on the d.j. playing all the fast songs- ain't spinning anything that I can sing along.

So if you know the words try to sing along.
When you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you wanna learn to play the "rock guitar."
Throw down your guns, you're gonna be a star.
You gotta begin with who you know you are to be a revolution.

Cause the time is right to cross that line to let love find a way.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
When you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.
It's all right, to be a revolution, it's all right yeah.

So if you know the words then try to sing along.
When you get the beat, grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
And when you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

If you know the words then try to sing along.
And when you get the beat grab a hammer, bang a gong.
Cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong to be a revolution.

DIG

2009-07-22T21:38:00.000-03:00

Dig

I had a big idea
I had a crazy eye
I broke the sacred seal
I told a lazy lie
I've had my conscience bent
I've had my patience tried
I've been up in the desert and
Down by the riverside
Will the eagle fly
If the sky's untrue?
Do the faithful sigh
Because they are so few?
Remember when i cried?
Remember when you knew?
Remember the look in your eyes?
I know i do
And count the stars to measure time
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea, ill crawl on my knees
Feel it coming in
Feel it going out
Water covers sand
Blood covers doubt
So i begin again
Again, the healing bow
There was a time when i might have surrendered, but not now
Consult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
At the sea, i'll wait on my knees
Consult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
At the sea, ill wait on my knees
At the sea, ill wait on my knees
At the sea, ill wait on my knees

SILENCE

2009-07-22T21:36:00.002-03:00

Silence

Take, take till there's nothing, nothing to turn to.
Nothing when you get through.
Won't you break, scatter pieces of all I've been.
Bowing to all I've been running to.

Where are you?
Where are you?

Did you leave me unbreakable?
Leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold.
I thought you were silent.
And I thought you left me for the wreckage and the waste.
On an empty beach of faith.
Was it true?

Cause I, I got a question, I got a question - Where are you?

Scream, deeper I wanna scream.
I want you to hear me, I want you to find me.
Cause I, I want to believe but all I pray is wrong and all I claim is gone.

And I, I got a question, I got a question- Where are you?

Tradução

Silence (Silêncio)
Take, take 'til there's nothing (Leve, leve até que não sobre mais nada)
nothing to turn to (nada a que me referir)
nothing when you get through (nada quando chegar aqui)
won't you break (você não vai destruir)
scatter pieces of all I've been bowing to (os pedaços esparramados daquilo a que tenho me prostrado)
all I've been running to (atrás do que tenho ido)
where are you? (onde está você?)

Where are you? (Onde está você?)

Did you leave me unbreakable? (Você me deixou assim resistente)
leave me frozen? (e me deixou tão frio)
I've never felt so cold (nunca me senti tão insensível)
I thought you were silent (pensei que estivesse mudo)
I thought you left me (que tivesse me deixado)
for the wreckage and the waste (em meio aos destroços e ruínas)
on an empty beach of faith (em uma praia sem fé)
was it true? (foi isso mesmo?)

Yes, I, I got a question (Sim, eu, eu tenho uma pergunta a fazer)
I got a question (eu tenho uma dúvida)
where are you? (onde está você?)

Scream (Gritar)
deeper, I wanna scream (mais alto, quero gritar)
I want you to hear me (quero que me ouça)
I want you to find me (quero que me encontre)
I, I want to believe (Eu, eu quero acreditar)
but all I pray is wrong (mas tudo que peço está errado)
and all I claim is gone (e tudo que imploro se foi)
Well, I, I got a question (Bem, eu, eu tenho uma dúvida)
I got a question (eu tenho uma dúvida)
where are you? (Onde está você?)

Yeah, yeah

Well, I, I got a question (Bem, eu, eu tenho uma dúvida)
I got a question (eu tenho uma dúvida)
where are you? (Onde está você?)

Sobre a Letra:
"'Silence' é o lugar onde as perguntas aparecem. Nos espaços misteriosamente silenciosos de tempo, começamos a nos perguntar se Deus realmente existe. Deus
não tem receio de nossas dúvidas e não tivemos receio de escrever sobre a profundidade incrível que a dúvida pode atingir no meio de nossas lutas. Está é uma música que assumiu um significado ainda maior depois do 11 de Setembro."

THESE ORDINARY DAYS

2009-07-22T21:28:00.002-03:00

These Ordinary Days

Not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking
through these ordinary days

If nothing else I get to see you,
even if we never speak
The harm of words it's sometimes we don't
quite know what they really mean

I don't know where,
I don't know how,
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better

Let me lay down in this field
and stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds turn into something
as they pass us by

Maybe you could settle
for a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle
for this love I have for you

Tradução

These Ordinary Days (Estes dias comuns)

Not much for conversation (Não tenho muito a falar)
I still find need to pray (ainda necessito orar)
sometimes I get tired of walking (às vezes me canso de caminhar)
through these ordinary days (por estes dias comuns)

If nothing else I get to see you (Se no fim das contas eu puder lhe ver)
even if we never speak (mesmo se nós nunca nos falarmos)
the harm of words is sometimes we don't (o perigo nas palavras é que às vezes)
quite know what they really mean (não sabemos exatamente o que elas significam)

I don't know where (Não sei onde)
I don't know how (não sei como)
I don't know why (não sei o porquê)
but your love can make these things better (mas seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)

Let me lay down in this field (Permita-me deitar-me neste campo)
and stare up at the sky (e fitar o céu)
I hope the days and clouds turn into something (espero que os dias e as nuvens se transformem em algo)
as they pass us by (enquanto eles passam por nós)

and maybe you could settle (E talvez você possa estar pronto)
for a skyline faded blue (para um horizonte em tons de azul)
I hope that you might settle (espero que você um dia esteja pronto)
for this love I have for you (para este amor que sinto por você)

Your love can make these things better (Seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)
your love can make these things better (seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)
your love can make these things better (seu amor pode tornar tudo melhor)

Sobre a Letra:

"'These Ordinary Days' foi escrita por último no processo de composição deste cd. Foi um momento inspirado. Eu me lembro de pensar nas horas que passam, enquanto se está deitado num campo, olhando para o céu. As nuvens tomam os mais curiosos formatos. Acredito que podemos fazer o mesmo sobre os dias." Jars of Clay

SCARLET

2009-07-22T21:25:00.001-03:00

Scarlet

If I was your love I would want only you.
I'd lay at this alter, give all I am, all that is true.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
There is nothing you can do.
Nothing you do.
Nothing you do.

For love I have scaled the face of these kingdom walls.
So let down your hair, let our kiss make fools of them all.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
And there is nothing you can do.
Nothing you do.
Nothing you do.

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you.
And there is nothing you can do.
No there is nothing you can do.
No there is nothing you can do.
Can't do.

Scarlet (Escarlate)

If I was your love (Se eu fosse o seu amor)
I would want only you (Desejaria somente você)
I'd lay at this altar (Prostar-me-ia neste altar)
give all I am, all that is true (Daria tudo o que sou, tudo o que é verdadeiro)

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you (E esta antiga Letra Escarlate não vai me impedir de te abraçar)
and there is nothing you can do (E não há nada que você possa fazer)
nothing you do (Nada que você faça)
nothing you do (Nada que você faça)

For love I have scaled the face (Por amor escalei a face)
of these kingdom walls (das paredes deste reino)
so let down your hair (Portanto lance suas tranças)
let our kiss make, fools of them all (que nosso beijo os faça de tolos)

And this old scarlet letter won't keep me from holding you (E esta antiga Letra Escarlate não vai me impedir de te abraçar)
and there is nothing you can do (E não há nada que você possa fazer)

Nothing you do (Nada que você faça)
Nothing you do (Nada que você faça)
Nothing you do (Nada que você faça)
Nothing you do (Nada que você faça)

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

Sobre a Letra:

"'Escarlate' tem sido vastamente conhecida como a cor do adultério e ao mesmo tempo, do sangue que nos purifica. Nesta canção somos confrontados com uma imagem viva de um amor sacrificial. Muito frequentemente fico muito admirado pelo alcance da salvação e persistência da Graça Divina". Jars of Clay

WHATEVER SHE WANTS

2009-07-22T21:09:00.001-03:00

Whatever She Wants

All her wants to fill a need.
She wants to save you with her bandages after she makes you bleed.
Like a vampire, a parasite.
Stretch the neck of her victim, she finds her prey in broad daylight.
So when you're up, she's down, down she's up, it whips around.
It's the ride the way that she needs it.

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Kryptonite underneath;

You used to be her superman,

But now you're fading, now your weak.

Never how or why it worked to play the big lie.
To dim the truth from causing her wet eyes.

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Yeah, whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

Yeah, whatever she wanted for whatever you need.
Speechless and silent while she takes everything.

She takes everything.
Whatever she wants.
It's everything.

Tradução

Whatever She Wants (Tudo que ela quer)

All her wants to fill a need (Tudo que ela quer, para suprir uma necessidade)
She wants to save you with her bandages (ela quer te salvar com seus curativos)
After she makes you bleed (depois de te fazer sangrar)
Like a vampire, a parasite (como um vampiro, um parasita)
Stretch the neck of her victim (prepara o pescoço de sua vítima)
She finds her prey in broad daylight (encontra sua presa em plena luz do dia)

When you're up, she's down (Quando você está por cima, ela está por baixo)
You're down, she's up, it whips around (se você está por baixo, ela está por cima, gira em círculos)
It's the ride the way that she needs it (dando voltinhas do jeito que ela gosta)

Whatever she wanted for whatever you need (Tudo que ela queria, por tudo que você precisar)
Speechless and silent while she takes everything (você fica mudo e calado, enquanto ela leva tudo)

Kryptonite underneath (Criptonita, escondida)
You used to be her Super-Man (você costumava ser seu Super-Man)
But now you're fading, now you're weak (mas agora você está perdendo seu vigor, agora você está fraco)

Never how or why (Sem comos e porquês)
It worked to play the big lie (serviu para encenar a grande farça)
To dim the truth from causing her wet eyes (embaçando a verdade que a faria chorar)

Yeah
Everything (Tudo)

Yeah, yeah

She takes everything (Ela consegue tudo)
Whatever she wants (tudo que ela quer)
It's everything (simplesmente tudo)

Sobre a Letra:

'Whatever she wants' fala de co-dependência. Como uma mulher que o tempo todo fere alguém e em seguida diz sentir muito por todas as coisas terríveis que fez e por tê-lo ferido. Ela precisa dele ao seu lado e precisa sentir que está no controle. Ele por outro lado, se encontra num estado de dependência dela (os dois de co-dependência um com o outro) e precisa saber que ela precise dele o tempo todo. Uma relação doente, precisa se curar.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

2009-07-22T21:06:00.001-03:00

Something Beautiful

If you put your arms around me, could it change the way I feel.
I guess I let myself believe that the outside might just bleed it's way in.
Maybe stir the sleeping past lying under glass.
Waiting for the kiss that breaks this awful spell.
Pull me out of this lonely cell.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful.

What I get from my reflection isn't what I thought I'd see.
Give me reason to believe you'd never keep me incomplete.
Will you untie this loss of mine, it easily defines me.
Do you see it on my face.
That all I can think about is how long I've been waiting to feel you move me.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful...

And I'm still fighting for the world to break these chains.
And I still pray when I look in your eyes.
You stare right back down into something beautiful.

Close my eyes and hold my heart.
Cover me and make me something.
Change this something normal into something beautiful...

Tradução

Something Beautiful (Algo Belo)

If you put your arms around me (Se você me envolver em seus braços)
could it change the way I feel? (Será que isso mudaria a forma como me sinto)
I guess I let myself believe (Acho que me permiti acreditar)
that the outside might just bleed its way in (que o exterior possa fazer sangrar no interior)
Maybe stir the sleeping past (Talvez remexer no passado adormecido)
lying under glass (que está deitado sob esta redoma (de vidro))
waiting for the kiss (Aguardando pelo beijo)
that breaks this awful spell (que quebra este terrível encantamento)
pull me out of this lonely cell (vai me tirar... desta prisão solitária)

Close my eyes and hold my heart (Feche meus olhos e envolva o meu coração)
cover me and make me something (Cubra-me e torne-me em algo)
change this something normal (Transforme este ser comum)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)

What I get from my reflection (Aquilo que vejo em meu reflexo)
Isn't what I thought I'd see (Não é o que pensei que veria)
give me reason to believe (Dê-me uma razão pra acreditar)
you'd never keep me incomplete (que você nunca me deixaria incompleto)
will you untie this loss of mine (Você pode solucionar essa minha falha?)
it easily defines me (que me define tão facilmente)
do you see it on my face? (Você pode ver em meu rosto?)
that all I can think about is how long (que só consigo pensar em quanto tempo)
I've been waiting to feel you move me (tenho esperado para sentir seu toque)

Close my eyes and hold my heart (Feche meus olhos e envolva o meu coração)
cover me and make me something (Cubra-me e torne-me em algo)
change this something normal (Transforme este ser comum)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)

And I'm still fighting for the word (E eu ainda persisto para que a palavra)
to break these chains (me livre destas correntes)
can I still pray when I look in your eyes (Posso ainda orar quando fito os seus olhos?)
Stare right back down (você então fita os meus)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)

Close my eyes and hold my heart (Feche meus olhos e envolva o meu coração)
cover me and make me something (Cubra-me e torne-me em algo)
change this something normal (Transforme este ser comum)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)
into something beautiful (em algo belo)

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

2009-07-22T21:01:00.000-03:00

I Need Thee Every Hour

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need thee, oh, I need thee, every hour I need Thee
I need thee, I need thee, I need Thee every hour

I need Thee every hour in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide or life is in vain
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee, every hour I need Thee
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Oh I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee

HIBERNATION DAY

2009-07-22T20:55:00.000-03:00

Hibernation Day

I don’t want to get out of bed,
You don’t want to go out in the snow,
We don’t have to do the things Eskimos do,
Let’s have a hibernation day, me and you.

The snow is climbing up the door, (so much higher than before)
The weatherman is sure there will be more, (I don’t want to go out in the snow)
These blankets make a cozy little cave just for two,
Let’s have a hibernation day.

I love the snap of winter air and the snowflakes on my face,
How thew snow drifts make the cars disappear without a trace,
I’ll take a day dressed in pyjamas, in a room without a view,
if I can spend the day curled up next to you.

Next to you. (next to you)

I don’t want to get out of bed,
You don’t want to go out in the snow, (it’s so cold outside)
Let’s have a hibernation day,
We don’t have to go out in the snow,
Let’s have a hibernation day, me and you.
