Fatherless And The

Sixpence None The Richer Fatherless And The Lyrics
1.Field Of Flowers

let me let me know what makes you happy
and i'll do it over over and over again

let me know just how you love me
and we'll spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

i wish to quote from whitman now
to show the way i feel i feel about you
oh about you
because it's a subtle electric fire you light in me
every time i see you
so let's dance again in this field of flowers we're in

these lyrics are so frivolous they really have no meaning
but i wrote them for you and anywhere i would be with you
no matter where but for now we're here
so let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

let's spin again in this field of flowers we're in


2.Spotlight

big time bright lights
the world is looking for someone to show them the daylight
but it's not me i am not the one
for simple love look to the son

spotlight get me out of this spotlight
it looked okay but somehow it doesn't feel right
a lifelong dream now reality
i never thought that it could happen to me

big time high life
shattered hopes and disillusioned insight
he can give it to you and he can take it away
just as sure as the morning is the start of day

sometimes in your life
the world is going to put you under the spotlight
it's easy to follow not hard to pursue
you won't know that it happened to you


3.The Fatherless And The Widow

fatherless and the widow
stricken down by the hand of death
grasping for security
anticipation of the imminent next
of the imminent next

the fatherless and the widow
find their souls filled with fear
her lover gone forever
his hand to hold is never coming back
never coming back

behind closed doors they cry their tears
behind closed doors they reveal their fears
to the god in heaven above
to the god in heaven above


4.Musings

mysteries unfolding quickly before my eyes
in a way i saw the world in one night
without even leaving
without even leaving the room

golden cymbals catching light
the flowing veils of dancers in the night
put me in a swoon

beating drums and violins so mystical and freeing
these things that i'm seeing
they're so wonderful

oh the world is such a big place
and you have redeemed it
you have redeemed it
no reason to be afraid
you have redeemed it
you have redeemed us all

culture after culture flash before my eyes
the semi closed mind is now evident

help me to remember this world is yours
you gave your life to bring the wayward back to you
the wayward back to you


5.Trust

trust in the lord with all your heart
lean not on your own understanding
in all of your ways acknowledge him
and he will make you paths straight
don't worry about tomorrow
he's got it under control
just trust in the lord with all of your heart
and he will carry you through

lord sometimes it gets so tough
to keep my eyes on you
when thinks are going rough
but when i turn my eyes up to the sky
and i hear your voice is says to me

so child do not be weary with the troubles
of this world i have overcome


6.Falling Leaves

standing in the middle of a forest
basking in the glorious autumn
watching the leaves as they change
from green from green to orange yellow and brown
i'm falling down
i'm falling down

my emotions are deceiving me
blinding my eyes from my nature
robbing my quiet solitude
of tranquility of tranquility
i'm falling down
i'm falling down

oh let these falling leaves cover me
let me sink into the ground
never be found


7.Meaningless

history merely repeats itself
nothing in this world is truly new
the sea churns as it feeds from the river at its mouth
the wind blows across the land from north to south
the laboring man spends his life getting nowhere

meaningless
it's all meaningless
all my life and labor is foolish
and now i don't have a reason anymore

come now be merry drink your drink
devour your feast don't stop to think
tomorrow you could be gone far away
so gather ye rosebuds while he may
tomorrow you could like in a silent grave
pawing the dust and awaiting the end of time

fear your god this is all i know

meaningless
it's all meaningless
all my life and labor is foolish
and now i don't have a reason
a reason to live anymore


8.Soul

tell me father are you riding on
the fictional bus up to heaven above

do you listen to the angels on the outskirts
have they persuaded you
oh tell me father
perhaps you have been persuaded before
i just want to know where your body and soul
roam tonight

but i know i'll never know
until i pass away to the next life
i know i'll never know
where your soul roams tonight
until i reach the afterlife

kneeling in this church of stone
on this pew reading my prayer book
we commend to your lord
all the souls who have died
as you walk in the garden
is the grass broken glass on your feet
i want to believe when i think how i wasted my chance

and mother i pray
that it would happen someday
we would find you
where we're going


9.An Apology

questions flew
and words were hurled into the air
and when the smoke had cleared
i saw you lying there
i used my words like bullets in a gun
to pick your ego off like skeet flung
in the gallery of fools

too many words come from my mouth
i wish would remain unsaid
oh i've had to eat them all and now i must confess

it was a silly thing to say to you
it was a silly thing to say to you i know

we know


10.Trust(Reprise)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your paths straight
Don't worry about about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord with all of your heart
And He will carry you through

Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on You
When things are going rough
But then I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I hear Your voice it says to me

You have much trouble in this world
I have overcome
