Give me the heart of you With all the colours oh so true You are the one that comes and goes You are the one that ebbs and flows When someone asks you to give them your heart or show them how you love, they might not truly appreciate the colours of you, the colours of your heart.  They may marvel at how hard you love, how love has been used by people to abuse you.  They may marvel at how you had love once, and then you lost it when your love passed away.  What sparks the interest of someone to know your heart and its colours anyway?  They might be captivated by the things that you do, how you make decisions and how what you say, resonates within the deepest recesses of themselves that they have no idea how you can think and feel that, when they have never uttered a word to a soul, kept their secrets within their own soul until you came along.  We flow around people and become what they need us to be. But you put me back on my feet You put me back on my f...

All of the times that I have strayed You've brought me back again Just want to thank you for being around Picking me up when I was down  How many times have you strayed?  There are moments where you lose your way, lose your sense of self.  When you stray you're taking a detour to explore another option or you genuinely are lost, whether you know it or not.  Then you have someone come along and help you to find your bearings, to locate yourself again, to feel grounded in the earth.  How many times has someone brought you back?  Maybe you're the person that usually brings people back.  If you are the one that normally brings people, but then you change roles and become the one that strays - it's like the world ends for everybody else around you.  They don't know how to deal with you and they don't understand what you're about.  Are they meant to know?  That's up to you.  But it is always good to pick someone up when they are dow...

See I don't want to come out too confident I've travelled many roads but not quite as smooth as this 'Cause you, are picturesque like the morning sun So close I think I can touch you, yet the distance is so far Yet you come across as a super confident person.  I think people look at you and think you have it all together because all they see is confidence and a sure-footed assuredness that few people possess.  I know you have travelled many roads.  Not many people would have travelled them as willingly as you did, and that shows a lot about your strength of character - fearlessness or foolishness?  Maybe it was a combination of both.  If you think I look picturesque, maybe it's because the way I carry myself reminds you of a painting that you want to study and take in all of the different elements that make up my picture.  You never really know whether the physical touch is meant to happen or not.  You can always be close and still so far. And I...

Just for me Many doors you've closed just for me Sometimes you will say no So I'll be Tested in Your fire to purify my desires So my blessings won't be Just for me So caught up in myself I couldn't see The world did not revolve around me So storms are in Your will So I can feel what others feel, their needs If I could speak honestly We never really understand the times when we are denied what we think we deserve.  It takes a long time to get over incidents and situations that were extremely painful, changed the course of your life and you think - is this as good as it gets?  When was the last time you were truly tested?  I don't think you can ever go through life without being tested.  I'm not just talking about standardised testing in little exams that we went through in high school.  I'm talking about the type of testing that you don't realise you are being subjected to because you recognise how much pressure and stress you are under - tha...

I know exactly what you're thinkin'  I've had those thoughts a million times I can see the question that's behind your eyes, oh You're searching for your peace of mind Have you met people who know exactly what you're thinking?  That they can put into words what you struggle to articulate?  You might have thoughts that are negative and threaten to erase all of the carefully selected words that you have crafted to protect yourself, happily and safely ensconced in your own cocoon.  Do you go through life thinking that all of the bad things, all of the challenges that you are facing is because you are not worthy of good things?  That's the completely wrong way to look at things.  When you go to search for your peace of mind, do you actually find that your mind is in pieces?  How will you start to put things back together and figure things out? Now listen up to this truth You are me and I am you Every one of us is worthy Baby girl, worthy woman E...

What goes around comes back around (hey my baby) What goes around comes back around (hey my baby) I say what goes around comes back around (hey my baby) What goes around comes back around You never really think about karma and its effects until somebody does you wrong.  I have seen strong women who I love and respect get completely wrecked by the men in their lives.  I have waited until they have come to a sense of realisation that maybe they should no longer be in relationships with their partners, but all you can really do is stand alongside your friend and hold her hand when she needs you the most.  You can only be a shoulder for her to lean on when she needs to let it all out.  There was a time I thought you did everything right No lies, no wrong Boy I must've been outta my mind So when I think of the time that I almost loved you You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you As a friend, you stay supportive and excited for the love she professes abo...

Sir there is a girl in this town I thought I could live without her round But I can't go on till I make her mine But I may need your help before I'm out of time See you feel the earth move whenever she smiles She loves like a woman but laughs like a child When was the last time someone expressed how much they couldn't live life without you?  You might be the target of someone's affection but have no idea. How are you supposed to know how to read the signs then?  Either you rely on them blurting out exactly how they're feeling or you have to ask to make sure.  Do people make observations about you and then tell you what they are observing?  It feels like you're the subject of a "personality audit" and they're examining character traits or mannerisms that you have.  They call you out on it and ask you whether you wanted to know so that you can adjust yourself accordingly or just be made aware of what you do.  Is this what you need help with be...

You're in my arms And all the world is calm The music playing is only for two So close together And when I'm with you So close to feeling alive Have you ever felt like that in someone's arms before?  That everything is calm again after being with them?  When have you ever had music only playing for two?  I love music so I hear music everywhere all the time.  Listening to it with someone special is always going to be a memorable moment.  Dancing with them while listening to the music is an even more memorable moment.  I've been talking with friends lately who are going through some difficult times with their partners.  They are going through huge transitions and it makes me think about how we can be close to someone and then things drastically change.  I guess if you don't pay attention to the signs of neglect, on both sides, then you won't know how much longer you will be close.    A life goes by Romantic dreams must die So I ...

So you stood there on the corner With your suitcase in your hand Ready to quit this place There were just too many people With too little left to lose You were just one more face But you weren't born to give up easy You weren't raised to just lie down There comes a point in your life when you start packing things away, you start looking at things that you have collected on the way, people you have collected along the way in your life.  You start to wonder if all of these things and people are worth holding onto.  You start to take stock of your life and become instantaneously trapped in societal expectations for how life should've panned out for you by now.  Are you unhappy in your life right now?  Are you stuck in a job that you don't enjoy?  Are you stuck in a relationship that you can't leave?  Are you stuck trying to figure out who you are?  I have had many conversations in recent months with loved ones and friends about their personal sit...

People always ask me why I am always so Happy and never down And why I'm always laughing and how they Never seem to catch me with a frown It takes a lot for you to show only the positive aspects of your life or only to show the joy that you know other people need.  I've seen friends and acquaintances struggle with some deep issues within their own lives recently and they have shared their pain. It is always heartwarming to know that people can share their lived realities with you and that you can reciprocate the love that you know they need too.  When I think about the alternatives to being happy - what other options do you have?  Most people will tend to move towards the more negative emotions that have the danger of you wallowing in your own self-pity, and you process things much more slowly.        Some may think it's not real and I know That a lot feel it's a show So I wrote this song to tell you about someone  I am familiar with and...

God will break you to position you Break you to promote you And break you to put you in your right place But when He breaks you He doesn't hurt you, He doesn't When He breaks you He doesn't destroy you, He does it with grace Anybody been gracefully broken? Thank You Lord, Thank You So Father tonight, we're broken before You Thank You for handling us with grace Just lift your worship right there in this moment Everybody has a rock bottom.  Some of you might not hit it because you will either have really strong support systems that don't allow you to get broken or maybe you're not living life right? Who knows.  But you will know you've hit rock bottom when you don't think you can get any lower to the ground, you have lost everything that you thought was of value and you don't think you can recover.  This first part of the song is spoken and available on the album track, but the clip on this video goes straight into the singing.  The speech p...
