Lines on your face Dark and wrinkled Hoping and lonely Whispering to yourself Weak now and wondering Who will hold you now Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Yeah, Yeah Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Yeah, Yeah Forgotten. You’re slow. And feeling less and less at home Dying and old Sitting in the hallway alone Not sure when the next day will come When someone holds you in their arms Not sure when the next day will come When someone holds you in their arms Lines on your face Dark and wrinkled Hoping and lonely Whispering to yourself Weak now and wondering Who will hold you now Ohhh, Ohhh, Who will hold you now? Yeah, Yeah Ohhh, Ohhh, God will hold you now, Yeah

Never Alone 05:11
As you grow old remember these words These promises I made in all of my letters I, I’ll carry you when you’re old and gray Though time passes by, these words will remain I’m here with you So don’t give up running as light fades I’m here with you In the ups and downs until your last, your last breath Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you, yes I am with you Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you, yes I am with you My child Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you. As you grow old remember these words These promises I made in all of my letters I, I’ll carry you when you’re old and gray Though time passes by, these words will remain I’m here with you So don’t give up running as light fades I’m here with you In the ups and downs until your last, your last breath Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you, yes I am with you Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you, yes I am with you My child Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you. Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you. Yes, I am with you. Sometimes you’ll fly and sometimes you’ll fall But I’ll be with you. Yes, I am with you. So don’t give up running as light fades I’m here with you until your last breath My child Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you. Yes, I am with you.

Sleep now my child Close your eyes. Don’t be afraid. I’ll hold you till light comes Breath deep. You’ll be ok. Rest now my child My eyes are on your frame I know you are tired and worn I promise you will be safe. I’ll take your hand in mine We will walk into the light I’ll take your hand in mine We will walk into the light Into the light, into the light Into the light, into the light Come now my child Won’t you rest your head The wolves, they are gathering But they won’t come near your bed Come now my child No need to run and hide Your shame has been taken away From now on you’ll walk by my side I’ll take your hand in mine We will walk into the light I’ll take your hand in mine We will walk into the light Into the light, into the light Into the light, into the light Take my hand in yours and I will lead you on Take my hand in yours and I will lead you home

To You 04:07
Oh hear my heart And hear my plea Take my hands, take my confessions Oh, won’t you come and take me You gave me clothes You washed my feet You gave me your bread and wine Oh God, you have washed me clean I have hope. Yes, I have peace. When I cry out of the fire Oh, you come and rescue me You rescue me. Yeah, you rescue me You rescue me. You rescue me. So I speak I listen close To follow your whisper That leads me on my way home To you To you On my way home to you

about

The theme of this album is wrapped around finding hope in the letting go and stepping into the unknown. It begs the question, "What can I hold onto when my ship is sinking?"
