Tree 04:19
Verse: I see the trees round the poor girl’s home, I see it’s branches are thin, Roots of distrust are lying Birds make their home down the road Verse: I feel the weight of the strong storm Thick with envy and with pride Worry fills my deepest prayers For I know, not many care Chorus: Grow your trees Grow your trees Bridge: I saw the girl

Time 04:49
Chorus: Whatever happened , to When what’s expected of you To love and work hard Whatever happened, to When what’s expected of you To give your home away. Verse: Since when are fades and quiet grays, Cherished in photographs Since when is old and tattered, neat. Dressed up filthy, Seen as clean Verse: Forgive me if, I’m far behind, Forgive me if, I’m now blind, But I have changed where, I’ll now sit, I won’t move til I feel it’s fit. Bridge: To gaze upon the flocks of folks, Listen to all the jokes Come to pass, in the photographs. In photographs, in memories

Verse: If I’d count the times, That I wondered where you were, A proven care, A chance to see my heart. A big mistake, To let you go, And then say that I’m alright, A fight inside, Hide away my life once again Verse: Sat by the fire, So my eyes they’d tire And fade into a dream, I’d hope to lose What I cannot choose Let my mind sail me away, Get lost at sea, A chance for me, Lose sight of what has come, I’d sooner face, another storm, Then off I go to flee Chorus: I was wrong, All along, I was right, Where I belong. I was wrong, All along To have gone
5.
Verse: Follow the sun, Follow the black crow, Follow only what you know Only what you know Forgive the wind, For it means not what it does, It means not to take you far from home Verse: Beware of peace, Beware of calmness Beware of love, that’s far from home A far off journey, most likely teach me, Of stranger’s secrets and lives before Chorus: I looked into the eyes Looked into the eyes Of that bear

Still Wrong 05:00
Chorus: Don’t you treasure me the same, Your heart unfolds, with open vain Not a single ounce to gain, Just pain Verse: Even in the weeds I feel your smile, Fires by fires, burnt up miles Chosen sunrise, sings your freedom, After all I’ve seen God Verse: Pride stirs heartache, chases souls afar Choirs and choirs sing of scars, Rulers mention of the tension, Power of nature and of self Bridge: All were pointing fingers, straight into my chest, But none were making promises to do their very best Suddenly it’s my fault?, lay me down to rest, I know I’m not perfect, I know I’m not perfect See I tried and I tried to love just like my God, He died and He died for those whose mock and prod. Give it all for those around me, give it all for those I love And somehow I’m still wrong, somehow I’m still wrong
