Blueprints 03:24
Blueprints I wish there were blueprints of my heart So I could tell you where to start to find me And I would lay them out so clear You could know every single fear that binds me Maybe this time you’d see If I could tell you how to love me I wish I could tell you how to love me I wish that your love could knock down walls Open the windows flood the halls to reach me We’ve got a new story to design Page after page we’ll draw new lines that free me Maybe you wouldn’t leave If I could show you how to love me I wish I could show you how to love me If I could tell you how to love me I wish I could tell you how to love me This house has seen so many storms It’s been burned right to the core If I could unlock every door Do you think I’m still worth fighting for? If I could tell you how to love me I wish I could tell you how to love me If I could show you how to love me I wish I could show you how to love me

Caged Bird 03:09
Caged Bird Little red bird I can see Your frail and tore up broken wing Little red bird you can’t fly You hum your secret lullaby Come on, let your song out, set it free Open up that caged bird melody Wail it out now, you know it’s your key Sing your song, reclaim this tragedy Little red bird all alone You’ve tried to make the prison home Little red bird terrified To let these hands come reach inside Let these hands come reach inside Come on, let your song out, set it free Open up that caged bird melody Wail it out now, you know it’s your key Sing your song, reclaim this tragedy Oh, caged bird, caged bird Will you sing? Love can mend a broken wing Caged bird, caged bird You will fly Let my love come reach inside Come on, let your song out, set it free Open up that caged bird melody Wail it out now, you know it’s your key Sing your song, reclaim this tragedy Baby Jesus, Mr. God Do you see her tore apart? Do you listen to her song? Do you ever sing along?

Letting Go 04:10
Letting Go - Chelsea Davis & Ana Sanchez The peach hour slips through my fingertips The sun lets out a sigh and makes my heart cry The golden day turns like this maze we wander through Wondering who will find us when her light is gone She sings beyond the horizon With her gold sequin dress spread out like a fan Her beauty shimmers effervescent Wisps of rays trailing behind her in the sand Oh sister sun, as you’re bending low Tell me why you go Tuck me in to bed Kiss my cheek then turn your head Shadows enfold You whisper, “let go...” One last kiss goodbye---a lipstick stained sky She flashes a smile & walks out in style Her glory goes to shine on other faces now We’re left all alone to dread the night’s descent She lights the world with her fire Then leaves her children in the cold They cry but she can’t hear them calling Hands lift them from the cradle, fear takes hold Oh sister sun, as you’re bending low Tell me why you go Tuck me in to bed Kiss my cheek then turn your head Oh sister sun, as you’re bending low Tell me why you go Nightmares on the wall Creeping down the hall You disappear and whisper, “Let go.” Sister sun, off to one more show.

Lamentation 04:26
Lamentation My body is a bombed-out house A shell of what it used to be A casualty of one man’s dream He broke all the pretty things And I scream and scream But no one hears me over these grenades And I scream and scream But now his hand is covering my face CHORUS: Say a prayer Be a good girl now With a kiss, it’ll all be over soon Hold real still-- if you like it, we’ll get ice cream and I’ll take you to the zoo The taste of ash invades my mouth I feel it burn as it goes down Disintegration is my crown It’s a hard-won victory And he screams and screams And I float right through the crack there in the wall And he screams and screams But he doesn’t know that I’m above it all Say a prayer Be a good girl now With a kiss, it’ll all be over soon Hold real still-- if you like it, we’ll get ice cream and I’ll take you to the zoo But I have a secret kingdom One that he’ll never find I go there every time he comes Cause it’s there my body’s mine My body is a bombed-out house... Can’t rebuild it

Oceans 04:59
Oceans I am ocean with skin on You are the ship I’m bearing home When you’re too tired to sail on Come rest, rest here in my arms Your mama should’ve held you while you cried I’m sorry for all of the beauty you had to hide Your mama should’ve told you you were good You can let go If you want to Because I am an ocean with skin on My love is an anchor in the deep When your heart is too heavy to go on Come rest, I’ll rock you to sleep Your mama should’ve held you while you cried I’m sorry for all of the beauty you had to hide Your mama should’ve told you you were good You can let go If you want to Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid You are safe now Don't be afraid Don't be afraid I won’t leave you if you cry Your mama should’ve held you while you cried I’m sorry for all of the beauty you had to hide Your mama should’ve told you you were good You can let go, If you want to You can let go, If you want to You can let go if you want to Hush now

We’re almost there, baby Barely held our ground through this I must admit I didn’t think we’d make it But we’re still here We’re almost there, baby It’s time for superman to rest Atlas take the world down off your shoulders Take a breath We forgot what it’s like to smile We forgot what it’s like to laugh We don’t know why we’re on this godforsaken planet We forgot our better halves but love outlasts We’re almost there, baby You know I’ve had your back through this When we go down, we’re going down together That’s what love is We forgot what it’s like to smile We forgot what it’s like to laugh We don’t know why we’re on this godforsaken planet We forgot our better halves but love outlasts What do we do when there’s nothing left to give? Do we reach down deeper? Do we look up higher? When we just can’t hold it together Love outlasts We forgot what it’s like to smile We forgot what it’s like to laugh We don’t know why we’re on this godforsaken planet We forgot our better halves We forgot what it’s like to smile We forgot what it’s like to laugh We don’t know why we’re on this godforsaken planet We forgot our better halves but love outlasts Love outlasts Love outlasts Love outlasts Love outlasts
