1.We Are A Lighthouse
Are you running？
Are you scared？
Are you a stranger
Passing through here？
Are you tired of this pace？
Because unlike you sojourner,
We are always here.
And we are safe,
And we are sound.
And we are a lighthouse calling out,
'Come home, come home.'
Through these waves,
Black as night,
we'll bring you home.
And on our way
We'll see all our brothers
And all our sisters.
Are you still running？
Are you still scared？
Because dying is easy,
And you know it will come quick.
Because we are loud,
And we are clear.
And all of you sojourners,
Can you hear us？
Over the sound
Of this terrible night,
We'll bring you home.
And on our way
We'll see all our brothers
And all our sisters.
Let us bring you home
And we will fill your sails
With our lungs.
Let our voices carry you
Through all these darkened waves.
2.All The Western Winds
You should take your time,
When gathering
Stones to make the house
That you're building.
Because you were there
When i was building my own,
And everything was wrong.
But we couldn't know.
If you'll just wait here,
I will go get help.
But if i can't come back,
Then i wish you well.
All the western winds
Are blowing strong,
And with just a little touch
They will chill our bones.
So hold yourself up
In the house that you built
And wait for it to go
Until you come back out.
If you'll just wait here,
I will go get help.
But if i can't come back,
Then i wish you well.
And i know this won't
Be the worst of it.
And i know you know,
Oh you know best.
So take all your time when gathering
Stones for the house that you're building.
3.Sights And Sounds
I was young,
Listening to all the sounds,
With my ear upon the ground,
Listening for truth.
And all i heard was good.
Then there we were
Watching all those burning lights
Take over the empty night,
And taking us home.
And all we saw was good.
And i took it all in
And buried it deep underground.
Oh, i never thought i would need to
Remember those sights or those sounds.
Then i went away
For a year to this day,
Looking for or should i say,
Losing myself.
But all i wanted was to be good.
Now i feel like i'm screaming
But you don't hear it.
I'm waving but you can't see it.
So i'm giving in.
And all i want is to be.
I took it all in
And buried it deep underground.
I never thought i would need to
Remember those sights or those sounds.
4.Like Ice In Water
All i need is a place to call home
Just some peace of mind
To make me feel whole
A breath or two may be
What i have been looking for
But my time is gone
Like ice in water
Time is all we have
And i have been collecting
I told you i was empty
And you said：
'Time is all we have
And you were just collecting
Memories of a few good things you love'
I want to make this all up to you
But i'm sorry for not wanting to be sorry
But lately i've been wondering
If i'm good enough
Am i really gone
Like ice in water？
Time is all we have
And i have been collecting
I told you i was empty
And you said：
'Time is all we have
and you were just collecting
memories of a few good things you love'
All you want
Is a taste of all our memories
And all you want
Are the few good words to sing
And all i need
Is for something to start happening
And all i need
Are a few good words to sing
Time is all we have
And i am just collecting
5.Take If From Me
I am a boat on the shore,
But no wave is coming
To take me home.
I am a sun with no leaves
To shower with light and to feed.
I am a will with no one
To bequeath my love, all my love.
I feel like some sort of ghost.
But take it from me
You don't want to be a ghost.
Because we need all our skin and our bones.
I feel like my heart has stopped beating,
And there's nothing carrying my blood.
Oh, i wish i could take all these things
I've been thinking and hammer
Them all to your door.
Oh, i wish i could.
But watch out, watch out
I'm wondering if maybe it's not too late.
I feel like some sort of ghost.
But take it from me
You don't want to be a ghost.
Because we need all our skin and our bones.
6.Entr'acte (Parts I An III)
If you'll just wait here,
I will go get help.
But if i can't come back,
Then I wish you well.
7.Islands
I once said
That you were a star
For me to wish upon,
But i was wrong.
For some time now,
I've been distraught.
And for lack of a better word,
I'm not an island.
If there's no truth
And if there's no life,
Then i'm fairly sure
I don't want to die.
Because i've tried hard
Most of the time.
And for lack of a better word,
I'm not an island.
When we die all alone,
If you're God then take us home.
But if you're not we'll be waiting by and by.
Because all our fathers have said,
'We are prodigals at best.
And we will meet one day in that by and by.'
8.Nineteen Twenty Nine
Did you hear
Gospel songs？
Could you hear
Our tears making them sound wrong？
Never had we felt more alone.
Did you hear gospel songs？
Like a train on its track,
We made our way in black
Through the hallway to the back.
Oh, like a train on its track.
When four of us
Were carrying you on poles
It was a burden we wanted so
We could know that you were close.
When four of us
Were carrying you on poles.
Oh, did you hear gospel songs？
9.Endings
I have trouble sleeping at night.
Because there are twenty thousand ghosts
Who linger by my side.
And i warned them to stay away
But they keep on coming back.
Oh, they keep on coming.
So the story goes.
Our histories are catching up.
But we all know we should be careful.
And so the story goes.
There are many people who swear
That their ghosts have all but disappeared.
And i want to know their secrets to keep them away.
Oh i want to keep them away.
So the story goes.
Our histories are catching us.
But we all need a different ending.
So our story goes.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
Oh i can't let go.
Oh i won't let go.
10.Rare Triumphs Of Love And Fortune
Oh my son,
You wonder how long
It has been.
You've been gone for so long.
But here we are,
We've been waiting.
And the old house you built
Is empty now.
Oh my son,
We've been waiting here for days.
And all we want is for you to be safe.
Here we are,
We are water.
And the old house you built
Is a garden.
Oh, here we are,
Waiting up.
Here we are waiting and waiting.
Waiting and waiting.
All of us waited and waited,
Waited and waited.
All of us waited and waited.
Now i can see you coming home.
Oh here we are.
11.I Saw A Stone
I saw a stone
Cradled by the earth.
Because it was one i had known,
I started digging
Through the dirt
Until both of my hands
Grew tired from the work.
Oh, i dug patiently,
And i dug eagerly.
This was my home.
Here stood my home.
I feel at home here in the dirt.
And i've been breaking my bones
For what it's worth.
Oh. i wanted someone here.
Oh, i needed someone here
To wash my dirty hands.
And to help me rebuild.
You were there while i was building
Saying, 'i am good.'
Now I'm here and you're still watching
Saying, 'i am good.'
