If you have not noticed

I love to post song lyrics. I think just cuz I cant always express what I want to say and well, they can. These songs just speak to me. The first one you can hear on my myspace page.....


Bring you back by Paul Alan


Are you thirsty,
Standing in the rain?
Not sure where you are
Or how you lost your way?
hey, hey, hey


Are you drowning
In some bar outside of town?
Searching for something given not found?
A crowd of people
But totally alone?
At the front door
But worlds away from home?

Light up the night's last regret and
Burn your only safety net and
Step to the edge
It's such a long way down and

I left the ninety-nine to find the one
And you're the one
I walked a thousand miles
In this desert sun
Only to bring you back

Are you tired
Of chasing the wind under water?
Do you aspire to breathe again?
Are you dying?
Is that the best that you can do?
Cause you can't find your place
In a world that wasn't meant for you?

I left the ninety-nine to find the one
And you're the one
I walked a thousand miles
In this desert sun
Only to bring you back

Hello, it's me
I couldn't sleep
I was just counting sheep
And I'm missing you,
Hello, it's me
I couldn't sleep
I was just counting sheep.

I left the ninety-nine to find the one
And you're the one I walked a thousand miles in this desert sun
Only to bring you back. I left the ninety-nine to find the one
And you're the one
I walked a thousand miles in this desert sun
Only to bring you back

Only to bring you back

.......................................................
Luke 15:4
"If you had one hundred sheep, and one of them strayed away and was lost in the wilderness, wouldn’t you leave the ninety–nine others to go and search for the lost one until you found it?

Give me your eyes by Brandon Heath

Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared

Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what’s underneath
There’s a man just to her right
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He’s out of work, He’s buying time

Chorus

I’ve been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along

Chorus
