    FACADE

                                                         
                                                            

    Verse 1 I showed a cool front to the world Tried to keep out of the spotlight Like a tough shell built for a hurricane That was vaguely seen in the twilight Chorus But you’ve broken down my facade You’ve rescued me from the dark Now the light shines bright in my life And you make me feel so alive Alive Verse 2 Built my walls so high no stairs could reach In a fortress around my heart I’d been hurt many times before But with you it was different from the start Chorus You’ve broken down my facade You’ve rescued me from the dark Now the light shines bright in my life And you make me feel so alive Alive Bridge Our love has made everything new and I’m ready to face the future with you Chorus You’ve broken down my facade You’ve rescued me from the dark Now the light shines bright in my life And you make me feel so alive Alive

    When my world is spinning around I find shelter here Lavender fills the air And calms the atmosphere It nurtures my soul It's where I feel whole Chorus Home, room to breathe Home, a gentle breeze Tunes out the noise And I can hear my inner voice At home Verse 2 The fireplace warms my living room Worn out books are on the shelf There's memories from the past In smiling photographs It's where love resides And I'm fully alive Chorus Bridge Been many places through the years But my heart always longs to be here Chorus

    I was trapped in a never ending maze Every single path took me the wrong way But today I broke down the walls Felt the sun on my face And now I'm loving it all Chorus I feel alive Changing my life See the world through a different lens Where the colours are more intense I feel alive Alive Verse 2 I taste freedom walking in the rain A sweet sensation every step I take No more stress, I'm now calm Breathe in and breathe out Look up and stretch my arms Chorus Bridge I'm gonna make the most of my time Everything's feeling so sublime Chorus

    Verse 1 Revved up my Harley in the parking lot Pulled right into the principal’s spot Walked into the gym, for our class reunion Came across old buds of mine Got to talking, reliving our crimes And raised a glass to our reckless past Chorus Three cheers to 10 years, it's great being back together again Here's to our school days and catching up with long lost friends Let's have another round, toast to the here and now And three cheers to 10 years Verse 2 Some people changed, others looked the same Got stuck at times remembering names Saw the girl that stole my heart in ninth grade She smiled, I took her by the hand Held her tight as we danced to the band At midnight some guy shouted into the mic... Chorus Three cheers to 10 years, it's great being back together again Here's to our school days and catching up with long lost friends Let's have another round, toast to the here and now And three cheers to 10 years Bridge Life has taken us in different directions but we'll always have this connection Chorus Three cheers to 10 years, it's great being back together again Here's to our school days and catching up with long lost friends Let's have another round, toast to the here and now And three cheers to 10 years Let's have another round, toast to the here and now And three cheers to 10 years

    Driving down the coast, wind catching my hair Sun feels good on my face Clear skies, troubles disappear Dropping worries in my escape I finally feel complete Open to where this road shall lead Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Verse 2 Sipping margaritas as the tide comes in Wishing on every star The cool sea breeze on my skin This must be where Heaven starts Don't care what time it is Life doesn't get better than this Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Bridge Used to be caught up in a constant chase Now I'm glad I got out of that race Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need

    Through your eyes Verse 1 Your laughter echoes as you play your princess games You scream with excitement when you discover new things On a cold winters night you arrived with God's grace As you've grown it's brought me back to my childhood days Chorus Through your eyes I see the wonder of the world Through your ears I hear lullabies and the sounds of singing birds With each step you find life's a sweet surprise I remember those days and now I find my way back through your eyes Verse 2 I think back to years gone by when I was just a girl My world was so much simpler, now life's hard to discern I know you'll find the right path and be true to yourself Never lose your sense of awe and you will always excel Chorus Bridge I still get caught up in my busy life You help me find my inner child to keep the magic alive Chorus

We've made our covenant, our pledge to love, From now, forever and always. Chorus May God bless us, protect us, Be our strength in times of need. Give us faith now to move mountains, Guide the way that we should lead. The road lies here before us, On our journey help us succeed. Verse 2 Today we start our voyage with a beacon of hope, May it always shine bright and be as constant as the stars. Give us the peace of Christ, the patience of Job And Soloman's wisdom through our lives. Chorus May God bless us, protect us, Be our strength in times of need. Give us faith now to move mountains, Guide the way that we should lead. The road lies here before us, On our journey help us succeed. The road lies here before us, On our journey help us succeed.

    Life is like a volcano with destruction all around, Heartache crashing near you, a thundering sound. When everything feels like darkness you never let me down. Chorus You are the rock I lean on when all about me is sinking earth. Justice and hope are crumbling at my feet. You are my rock, my rebirth. Verse 2 Danger circles round me like a storm on the sea, Angry waves surround me, fierce winds I can't see, You calm the gales to silence and help me to break free. Chorus Bridge We're the jewels you've created, from the stone we were cut. An array of shapes and sizes cleansed by Christ's blood. Chorus
