Town Car at Ten

we are the movers and the shakers / we are the only ones we think about / we eat and sleep and breathe money / it's funny how we don't have time for love // gotta work / gotta turn these people into numbers, into cash / can't sleep / gotta make these people into money while it lasts // we check our messages compulsively / we get a buzz from every deal we close / we get our energy from coffee / when we're on empty, we get caffeine lows // gotta work / gotta turn these people into numbers, into cash / can't sleep / gotta make these people into money while it lasts // "it gives you something to aspire to, doesn't it?" he said. "it does," i lied, inwardly hoping i'd never retire like him. // gotta work / gotta turn these people into numbers, into cash / can't sleep / gotta make these people into money while it lasts

Hold On
03:24
|
|||
you say you feel like you’re alone / like no one knows what’s going on / it takes you to your knees, feels like eternity / but you’re not done yet / you’re in progress // hang on, hold on, come on, go on // you need to know you’re not alone / you think nobody knows what’s going on / but hold on / i’m not saying there’s not a problem / i’m saying you’re not done yet / you’re in progress // hang on, hold on, come on, go on // whatever’s going on / no matter what is wrong / hang on, hold on, come on, go on

ETA
03:09
|

are we there yet? / 'cause i really want to be / i've been waiting / and i'm getting antsy / i'll be patient / yeah, i'll bide my time / i'm still hanging in there / at least i'm trying // what's our ETA? what's our ETA, anyway? // can You hear me? / 'cause i've been listening / i've been wondering / if this feeling's just me / i'll be patient / yeah, i'll bide my time / i'm still hanging in there / at least i'm trying // what's our ETA? what's our ETA, anyway? // i'll be patient, calm my restless mind / i'm still praying, leaving fear behind // what's our ETA? what's our ETA, anyway?

Stop and Think
03:06
|
|||
"don't bother me, i'm busy." / "i want, i need." / you ask rhetorically, "what's your problem?" / "i, me, i" - whoa // do you ever stop, ever stop and think? do you wonder why you're unfeeling? // "don't talk to me, i'm on my screen." / "i want, i need." / you mutter, "how's that make you feel?" / "i, me, i" - no! // do you ever stop, ever stop and think? do you wonder why you're unfeeling? // you say, "come on! why'd it have to rain?" / but it's got nothing to do with your windows left down / He sends rain on the just and the unjust / so take a look around at the people right there next to you. // do you ever stop, ever stop and think? do you wonder why you're unfeeling? // you never stop, no, you never slow down / you never think about the people around // do you ever stop? do you ever stop and think?

All I Have Is My Heart
03:49
|
|||
i am hurting, i am crying out / i have the impulse to offer stuff / as if i could buy Your love / but that's not what You are looking for // i don't have anything to bring to You to impress You / all i have's my heart, and my heart is Yours // i am feeling this drive to please / as if i could just prove myself or ambition could fix it all / but that's not what i am living for / i am humbled, i am broken / You have searched me and You know me // i don't have anything to bring to You to impress You / all i have's my heart / and my heart is Yours / and my heart is Yours // You promise me i can come to You with everything / You're listening / Your perfect peace will guard my heart / i am humbled, i am broken / test me, try me, lead me, guide me // i don't have anything to bring to You to impress You / all i have's my heart, and my heart is Yours

When I Am Afraid
07:01
|
|||
i feared the worst when the night seemed to take hold around us / and i, powerless to make anyone else's choices, sat alone and cried out // when i am afraid, i will trust in You // but i've seen worse in my deepest, darkest recesses / i'll be the first to say You save even the worst of wretches / but i'm not alone, i cry out // when i am afraid, i will trust in You // in You, in You / in God, whose word I praise / in the Lord, whose word I praise / i trust and am not afraid

A Snapshot of Infidelity
03:38
|
|||
i run into you in a coffee shop / it doesn't take long, it doesn't take much to see that something's on your mind / we go and sit down and you open up / she's gone and left you with a broken heart / yeah, she's really done it this time // and she had the gall to show up with him / and there you were, handing him her boxes / and she was all, "you're taking this so well" / but you still loved her // and it's so messed up, and it's just not right / there's nothing to say / guess it will take time / but my clichés won't be much help / and this all came out of nowhere / but at the same time, you knew / that when she didn't call and didn't answer you, it was through // and she had the gall to show up with him / and there you were, handing him her boxes / and she was all, "you're taking this so well" / but you still loved her // and all you could say was, "I don't know what to say" / if I were in your shoes, I don't know what I'd do / but I agree, you're taking this so well / and beyond that, I don't know what to say

Search Yourself
05:43
|
|||
we would build a tower to the sky if we could, wouldn't we? / we would take everything we could get and if we felt at all guilty / we'd give away some token generosity and hide our pride inside our false humility / but we can't reverse the fall / we think we're good, but we could all point out the faults in each other // oh, just look at your heart / when i examine my heart / i know that i need grace / i know that i need grace / i know that we need grace / i know we need // i would right all of my wrongs if i could, probably / drain away a sea of regret / if i could only / we'd give away some token generosity and hide our pride inside our false humility / but we can't reverse the fall / we think we're good, but we could all point out the faults in each other, oh / we have this innate sense of justice / we love to judge our politicians, our celebrities, our exes but oh // oh, just look at your heart / when i examine my heart / i know that i need grace / i know that i need grace / i know that we need grace / i know we need

Tomorrow
03:12
|
|||
i don't know what tomorrow will bring / i don't even know if i'll be here tomorrow / so why would i try to act like it is my tomorrow? / it's in Your hands / You hem me in / behind and before / You hand is on me, oh / such knowledge is too wonderful / too lofty for me / i don't know what tomorrow will bring / all i know is i’m trusting my tomorrow is in Your hands

The Great Exchange
04:43
|
|||
i've been confronted with who i am / if i am honest with myself / i'm so imperfect / stepping out the door, i wish that i could have a day where i behave the way i should / but i fall short of it // You are God, You know me inside out and yet somehow, You love me / You alone can see all of my shame, but You take the blame, and You save me // i've been confronted with who You are / You are so separate, set apart, yeah, You are holy / You're the only one who could take my place / You're the only sacrifice who can save / yeah, You are holy // You are God, You know me inside out and yet somehow, You love me / You alone can see all of my shame, but You take the blame, and You save me // i don't know where i'd be without You / i'd be like a ship without a sail, i'd be so lost / i'm so happy that i have found You / that You've found me
