Cross it Out

Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn

Cross it out

Draw a line through this.

Take it back

I won't do that again

Can I do this over?

Can I do this over again?

I take it back.

Eraser marks on cold black ink

can't change what's there

to what might have been

Can I do this over?

Can I do this over again?

I take it back.

And all your red bleeds through again

changing what I might have been.

How much longer will it take

to wash all of these stains away?

Can I do this over?

Can I do this over again?

I take it back.

Going Home
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn

I do not belong here

I'm a stranger to this place

I do not speak the language

I don't know a single face

My life's a constant journey

An endless search for truth

I washed in from the ocean

The stone that finally moved

You say, "You have gone too far

But it's not too late.

Take My hand, don't be afraid.

Look around, you're not alone.

Come with Me, we're going home."

I've been down every highway

And every mile's the same

A million different cities

And they don't even know my name

Here I'm just e spectre

A shadow in the crowd

I push through all the madness

And You call my name out loud

You say, "You have gone too far

But it's not too late.

Take My hand, don't be afraid.

Look around, you're not alone.

Come with Me, we're going home."

And I see You in my dreams

And You're walking on the sea

You say "Come and follow Me."

And I'm home

You say, "You have gone too far

But it's not too late.

Take My hand, don't be afraid.

Look around, you're not alone.

Come with Me, we're going home."

Art of Self Defense

Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn

Here is your precious act of war

Now let your weapons fly

Since you've convinced yourself that it was justified

It is all in self defense

Don't turn the other cheek

They'll have you on the ground

Don't let them see you're weak

They all will let you down

It is very very simple

Been made into an art

They will never get too close if I booby trap my heart

It's all in self defense

And I hear this talk of love

And I hear this talk of letting go

They say "Let down your guard"

But I'm just so far from home...

Change of Seasons
Music and Lyrics by Daniel Quinn

From the darkness

To the daylight

To the sunset

I'll remember this

From the sunrise

To the clear skies

Through the tempest

I'll remember this

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

From my rising

To my falling

Hitting the pavement, I'll remember this

From my going

To my coming back to the same place

I'll remember this

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

I am reaching out, I am reaching

I am calling out, I am seeking

To get up from my knees

And set my feet on a firm foundation

Can't keep building on sand

I will stand

And I'll remember this

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

You are still the same as you were yesterday

A change of seasons never changes you

Benediction
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn

Oh, what a shame

What a travesty

To open your door into tragedy.

I wish that I could heal you

With words I cannot find

May the grace of God be with you in these uncertain times.

Finding what's left from among the wreck

Piecing back hearts from the shattered mess.

I wish that I could heal you

With words I cannot find.

May the grace of God be with you in these uncertain times.

He is holding you tonight.

He is holding you tonight.

I wish that I could heal you

With words I cannot find.

May Jesus Christ be with you in these uncertain times.

Carry This, Too
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn

And so you strain

Shoulders sagging beneath the weight

Your hope is hanging by a thread

You say you're strong

Stronger than they'll ever know

And you go on

Piling more on as you go

Until you give up, if you ever do

Until you're broken at the feet of love

Carry this too

You've got the world

I think it's slipping

From all the fear that you're gripping

Trust in yourself

Don't rely on anyone

Can you hold it all?

Can you carry it alone?

Until you give up, if you ever do

Until you're broken at the feet of love

Carry this too

Hope is not a heavy thing...

Hope is not a heavy thing...

Until you give up, if you ever do

Until you're broken at the feet of love

Carry this too
