The Way They Go

There is the place where the fear don’t dominate
Fair ones flourish and children learn
Oh, the way he goes
Oh nothing’s gonna stop him as he finds it
There is the path where the cure is waiting
Though the cure’s been waiting there a long, long time
Oh, the way she goes
Nobody’s gonna stop her as she finds it
One said “snake” and the other said “boulder”
As they’re trying to peg the elephant with blindfolds on
Both said “Ah man, without my sight
I’m not sure I’m right
But I know you’re wrong”
There is a heart that’s going to change everything
They’ll have strength to embrace the world
Oh it’s the way she goes
And nothing’s gonna stop her as she finds it
One said “snake” and the other says “boulder”
As they’re out there touching elephants with blindfolds on
Both say “Ah man, without my sight
I’m not sure I’m right
But I know you’re wrong”
But there is the place where the fear don’t dominate
Fair ones flourish the children learn
Oh, it’s the way he goes
And nothin’s gonna stop him as he finds it
And what is this light that glows from their lives
Does it shine within and beyond the door
Oh, it’s the way they go
And nothing’s gonna stop them as they find it
Oh, that’s the way they go
And nobody’s gonna stop them as they find it

This ride will end
A hard-luck story
The climbing cold, a good allegory
But through the glass, in all that glory
The moonlight is coming home tonight
At times it glowed the silver platter
Then showed the way when I was shattered
Pull out the page - it doesn’t matter
The moonlight is coming home tonight
This winding road has danced the light until it found me
Now on the faces of these passengers around me
As the driver hums the radio
And those long-lost hills begin to show
The feeling here can only grow and maybe I can smile
Push back the seat, turn up the singers
Just let the ache slip through my fingers
Shut off the lamp, and let it linger
The moonlight is coming home tonight

Praise

The toll came rolling with the high tide
The cliff-side beacons are gone
Noises in the brush now
Frozen figures on the carousel ride
The fog went liftin’ into nowhere
And everything’s lookin’ so strange
Feel the constellations
Hold their fire as it makes it to your eyes
With insight shaking every bone now
The focus is moving, moving all around
Oh you’re tryin’ and tryin’
Keep it in your heart, just keep it in your heart now…
Praise the morning/praise the evening
Praise the silence of a bloodless night
Praise the father/ praise the mother
Praise the breathin’ of the loved one there you hold
Praise the summer/praise the winter
Praise a thousand second chances that you get

Nicest Place to Be
04:01

Batten up the windows,
Hide yourself away
Let the anger shout, get your best books out
Cause you know it’s all in play
A touch of that behavior that you never want to see
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be
Something’s in the air now
The pedals fell too soon
And the future dims when the storm blows in
And there’s nothing left to do
Forsake a mighty forest
When it doesn’t suit the tree
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be
Here’s a hope that it won’t be lies
That will lift the sadness right from our eyes
And the broken pieces when swept aside
Shows a path we’re needing to see
Batten up the windows,
Hide yourself away
Let the anger shout, get your best books out
Cause you know it’s all in play
A touch of that behavior that you never want to see
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be
Here’s a hope that it won’t be lies
That will lift the sadness right from our eyes
And the broken pieces when swept aside
Show a path we’re willing to see
Something’s in the air now
The pedals fell too soon
And the future dims when the storm blows in
And there’s nothing we can do
Forsake a mighty forest
When it doesn’t suit the tree
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be
