LYRICS FROM
NOVELLA ONE BIG SKY
1991
DO WE JUST SURRENDER
Soon maybe quicker then soon
There will come a day
Where the dawn is like night
And the heat of the Sun
Will make us wish it would go away
Think real think hard
Do we just surrender
To the conscience of the few
Think hope think about forever
Do we just surrender
To a world we never knew
OOOh for the love of the big dollar
The sea rages
As it gives up it's precious treasure
And the sky has opened wide
Leaving us no places to hide
Think real think hard
Do we just surrender
To the conscience of the few
Think hope think about forever
Do we just surrender
To a world we never knew
RUNNING HOME
Hearing inside
Your heart whispers the truth
He's playing your song
And it's playing for you
I've been in love
And I've been around
I've seen hearts die
Without making a sound
Towing the line
Nearing the end
You reach out reach out
Reach out again
Aren't we all winners
In this crowded old world
And once in a while
You go running home
Aren't we all singers
Always singing the blues
And once in a while
You go running home
Always our light
He's always leading us home
So why do we hide
From the love He has shown
I've been in love
And I've been around
I've seen hearts die
Without making a sound
Towing the line
Nearing the end
You reach out reach out
Reach out again
Chorus repeat
FIRE EYES
Dust from the desert road
Settles on the plain
It looks just the same
As a road traveled before
And there in the distance
Sits a man I've seen before
He's just to hard to ignore
And He slowly speaks to me
OOOh I can feel the warmth
When I look inside deep inside
your fire eyes
OOOh I can see the rage
Through a burning love
deep inside your fire eyes
Show me your world
Hidden within yourself
Knowledge on the shelf
Can't compare to what you know
Give me your peaces
Ask me what you will
I'm eager to tell
Of all you've done for me
He said scream
Then reach out and touch the sky
Where all things try
And dreams melt into one
He said cry
When you face the night alone
And find that black stone
Which slowly replaced your heart
Chorus
I NEED YOU
Can you see the reign
Kings of the king in another age
Can you hear the voice
Voice of the spirit call
Will you hear the noise
As thousands in a praise fall
See the wide road calling
out for me Oh no
Walk the narrow road
I can hear you when you try,
hear you cry
I need you Oh God
you're everything to me
I need you deep inside
give me hope take my pride
I need you love from above
God I need you
I need you deep inside
give me hope always my guide
If you speak the word of truth
Power and glory like you never knew
Clean you'll be free inside
Peace no need to run and hide
Per chorus
chorus repeat
WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT
Color so warm
As the summer sun goes down
You are there you are there
Walls broken down
My soul cries out for you
You're aware you're aware
Whispers in the night
Calling my name I feel the light
On me now I hear you
Whispers in the night
Pieces of this dream
Don't fit as they would seem
But you care I know you care
And through it all
I know your love
Is a constant stream
Seeking places in our hearts
Whispers in the night
Calling my name I feel the light
On me now I hear you
Whispers in the night
When I don't hear a sound
I cry hysterically
I loosen from my ground
And think pathetically
Because the voice I long
to hear is yours
Colors so warm
As the summer sun invades
You are there you are there
Words you spoke in the night
Sustain me through the day
You are there you are there
Whispers in the night
Whispers in the night
GIVE ME LOVE
I fight the war in a dark hole
Lonely place dying souls
The war is hate anger is king
Watch me win hear freedom ring
So many ways to reach into a love
That in so many ways I fought
to stay above
OOOh It won't ever fade away
OOOh will I live to see the day
when you
Give me love Give me love
Give me love Give me love
I've known the truth and the way
The sky is white this world is gray
One thing's clear there's no mistake
Love is free It's yours to take
So many ways to reach into a love
That in so many ways I fought
to stay above
OOOh It won't ever fade away
OOOh will I live to see the day
when you
Give me love Give me love
Give me love Give me love
LAY IT ON ME
I met this lonely stranger
Asked him where are you going?
He said I'm looking for some danger
Well you can find it anywhere
But who will come and
save you from yourself
When you've had all
that you can take
I know someone who paid
the price
He said lay it on me
Lay it on me
Lay it on me
When your heart is
hanging low
Lay it on me
Come in and let me
share this thing
This thing I call happiness
It only happens from within
And once you've had it all
make sense
Cause who will come and save
us from ourselves
When we've had all
that you can take
I know someone who paid
the price
He said lay it on me
Chorus Repeat
WHO ARE WE TO SAY
We've talked many times
before about what is in
my heart
But you decided to walk
out the door and
live life as you are
One day, One way
We will all see
That day His way
We will all be
I see it spinning around
and round inside
your head
I feel it spinning around
and round and round
Waiting to believe
in what I said
Who, who are we to say
Where, where would
we be today
Live life and loose
the chain
That has it hold on you
Give it all give it all
that you've got
What else can you do
Some day some way
We will finally see
That day His way
We will finally be.
Per chorus
Chorus
SWEET RISING SUN
Sweet rising sun
There's a distant rain
There's a healing hand
And it wipes the shame
There's a constant love
And it fills complete
Wit a heart full and yearning
I could only believe
Chorus
I live for the day
When I feel the red fire
of love
I live for the reign
Deep in my heart
I live for the truth
That I hear within
myself
I'd die for the love
Deep in my heart
Sweet rising sun
There's a hole in our hearts
Here's a fragile soul
That's been torn apart
But the sweet breathe
of air
From a Savior true
Leaves me wanting nothing
Leaves me only wanting you
Chorus Repeat
BIG SKY
Paint a picture
of the western shore
This faith within me
Like the sea you
just can't ignore
The wind surrounds me
Like the spirit from above
It will toss and turn me
And shape me into a
tower of love
Oh men of power who
rocks the boulevard
Work until the hour
where life's end
means a new reward
Paint a picture
Of the eastern skyline
The sun, the moon, and the stars
Which gave us all the sign
Oh men of power who
rocks the boulevard
Work until the hour
where life's end
means a new reward
One big sky, one big hope
Two forgotten memories
Own dark question
one bright truth
His answer's for you and me.
