On a Mission
The plates have shifted
and ruined good intentions
The gap has widened
but I am on a mission
The new world has grown old
There are no new inventions
Everything has happened
but I am on a mission
I am on a mission
Revising history
and ignoring all dissension
The gap keeps on growing
but I am on a mission
I will find it at its source
and I will end its existence
I will search this earth
because I am on a mission
I am on a mission
| Precious Lord Take My Hand
Oh I receive your words
and I hear your commands
and I'm a believer
though I don't understand
I want to walk with you
So would you teach me to stand
Oh precious Lord
Take my hand
Oh Precious Lord Take My Hand
Deliver me
You know all of my sins
and please forgive me
when I do them again
I want to learn
what I can not comprehend
Oh precious Lord
Take my hand
Oh Precious Lord Take My Hand
I'm not trying to run this life
I leave that up to you
Maybe you could send me a sign Lord
I just want to hear from you
Oh Precious Lord Take My Hand
| Out to Sea
As we stand here within reach
I don't want this wave to recede
Unless it takes me
Amidst the breaking
Let it take me and navigate me
Take me out to sea
As this wave crashes into me
Wash everything out to sea
Let it take me
and let it shape me
Let the waves do the navigating
Take me out to sea
A rise and shining
An ebbing and flowing
You can follow me
but I don't know where I'm going
or if I will jump ship again
or if I will go down with it
Take me out to sea

So Gone
I must be going
and I must be gone
I - I want to keep going
I - I don't care where
I - I will keep going
I - I don't know where
I must be going
and I must be gone
I don't know what's right
but I know that this is wrong
I - I want to keep going
I - I don't care where
I - I will keep going
I - I don't know where
I'm gone
So gone
| Elevation
I have seen the light
and it shines on me
With new eyes
I am learning to see
that I - I've got elevation
and yeah - I have a dream
To love the life I live
and live the life I love
To step into the sky
and rise above
and I - I've got elevation
and yeah - I have a dream
and I - I've got the golden ticket
and yeah - I've got the key
I have liftoff
and I hear the sound
I'm rising high
and I'm not coming down
I have heaven
and yes it is real
I have discovered
how this feels to feel
I'm rising high
| In Time
In time
the planets will align
and provide a sign
in a single file line
You and I
we will collide
we will arrive
given time
This life is an exploration full of revelations
and I will continue to explore
We
will be reminded
of everything that defined it
given time
The stars in the sky
will align
We'll be fine
given time
This life is an exploration full of revelations
that I will continue to explore
Through all that that entails
I will continue to sail
til I can no longer see the shore
In time
