Fool 03:35
VERSE 1 Am I just wishful thinking Believing every word that comes from you My breath am I just holding Hoping that again you will come through Some say I'm dreaming So let me dream CHORUS If I'm a fool - wh-o-oa That's all right with me If lovin' you, oh, makes me crazy I guess I'm gonna be, a fool VERSE 2 Why would I now question To satisfy a vocal few You've given me your heart and Who am I to do any less for you Some say I'm drowning So let me drown CHORUS If I'm a fool - wh-o-oa That's all right with me If lovin' you, oh, makes me crazy I guess I'm gonna be BRIDGE You've never given me reason to doubt Why should I start now, ooh Though some laugh at my devotion I won't throw the towel in I'm hangin' on until the end It's no delusion that I'm in Well, I'm no fool CHORUS But that's all right with me If lovin' you makes me crazy I guess I'm gonna be A fool - wh-o-oa And that's all right with me If lovin' you makes me crazy I guess I'm gonna be Well, I guess I'm gonna be, a fool Well I ain't no fool, ain't no fool Ain't no fool for lovin' you, no, no Well, I ain't no fool, ain't no fool Ain't no fool for lovin' you No, no, no, no by Jeremy and Rebecca Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

Flyer 04:16
VERSE 1 Could be I'm way too close Maybe I'm in too deep But sometimes I don't know How I can see the way you see My perspective's not too clear ‘Cause I'm still standin' here I need to get away CHORUS Hey, make me a flyer This altitude just won't do C'mon take me higher Hey, make me a flyer I want to see your point of view Take me up with you VERSE 2 Guess we've been here before Think I'd have learned by now But there's this tug of war That always tries to keep me down Well, I've seen you flying high I think it's high time that you Come take me away CHORUS Hey, make me a flyer This altitude just won't do C'mon take me higher Hey, make me a flyer I want to see your point of view Take me up with you BRIDGE And I want to be where you are Just let me ride your wings and soar CHORUS Hey, make me a flyer This altitude just won't do C'mon take me higher Hey, make me a flyer I want to see your point of view Take me up with you Hey, oh This altitude just won't do C'mon take me higher I want to see your point of view Take me up with you Hey, yeah C'mon, c'mon take me higher Ooh, ooh I want to see your point of view Take me up with you by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 Once upon a time A dark, dreamless night Covered a kingdom filled with the sound of its human cry Then one came along With a different song And many were touched by the beautiful sound of his melody Then one multiplied And growing in size The song, now an anthem, had filled the land with great harmony Could this be said of you Could it be said of me CHORUS What will we leave behind What story will be read of our lives Will it be marked in the pages of time That the world is better Because of what we leave behind VERSE 2 Just look around At where we are now Will posterity thank us or blame us for what we are passing on There's a new song to sing A new story to read Will we be the ones with courage enough To leave this world better than when we arrived CHORUS What will we leave behind What story will be read of our lives Will it be marked in the pages of time That the world is better Because of what we leave behind What story will be told of our lives Will it be marked in the pages of time That the world is better, so much better Because of what we leave behind What will we leave behind Life, love, and happiness A soul spent with no regrets Life, love, and happiness Leavin' with no regrets What will we leave behind (repeat) by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 How can one catch the wind and hold its power inside Reach out and take in hand the beauty of the skies How can you harness the abundance of the deep Or hide the infinite within humanity But what I find deep inside of me CHORUS Feels like the heavens Have chosen my heart to be their home As if the oceans Have emptied themselves into my soul And all the stars that fill the sky Have given me their light It feels like the heavens Since you came into my life VERSE 2 Who can contain the majesty of morning light Capture and hold within the glory of the night Since when can paradise inhabit souls of men How else can I explain this passion that I have, that CHORUS Feels like the heavens Have chosen my heart to be their home As if the oceans Have emptied themselves into my soul And all the stars that fill the sky Have given me their light It feels like the heavens Since you came into my life BRIDGE How can I describe When time and space collide And join all heaven and nature Here inside me CHORUS The heavens have made my heart their home The oceans have poured into my soul And all of the stars that fill the sky Have given me their light It feels like the heavens Since you came into my life by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 They say it is the road less traveled And there are few that walk its way Many try, but many stumble And follow those with hell to pay Well I ain't lettin' others chart a course for me ‘Cause I was born to be free, yeah, well CHORUS Take me down the road that's straight and narrow It's the only way that I will ever go Take me down the road that's straight and narrow It's the only way I'll go, even if I walk it alone VERSE 2 Could take the path of least resistance Could hang it up before I'm done, oh no But even worse than never tryin' Is never knowin' what could come I didn't get this far just to turn around Ain't no way I'm losin' ground, no CHORUS Take me down the road that's straight and narrow It's the only way that I will ever go Take me down the road that's straight and narrow It's the only way I'll go, even if I walk it alone The straight and narrow Take me down the road that's straight and narrow It's the only way that I will ever go Take me down the straight and narrow It's the only way I'll go, even if I walk it alone Oh, the straight and narrow It's the only way that I will ever go Take me down the straight and narrow It's the only way I'll go, even if I walk it alone Take me down Take me down the straight and narrow, oh, yeah Take me down Take me down the straight and narrow C'mon and take me down Take me down, take me down, take me down I wanna go down the straight and narrow by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 When heaven's Lord made me to fly He gave my wings to you So my heart would only start to soar Whenever I'm with you And when He gave my soul the will to sail He handed you the wind So you alone could carry me To where I've never been He took the things I needed most And gave them all to you So when I finally found you I'd know my search was through CHORUS I was made to love you I was made to sail away with you And sing a song for two I was made to hold you I was made to share my life with you ‘Cause I was made to love you VERSE 2 When He gave me music He gave you the song And filled you with the rhythm That would move this soul along Then He locked away my greatness In a place within my heart And granted you the only key That could open up that part Everything I needed most Was placed inside of you And since the day I found you I've found that this is true CHORUS I was made to love you I was made to sail away with you And sing a song for two I was made to hold you I was made to share my life with you ‘Cause I was made to love you BRIDGE You're all my heart desires And more than I had ever dreamed to hold And I will cherish you always CHORUS I was made to love you I was made to sail away with you And sing a song for two I was made to hold you I was made to share my life with you And that's what I'm gonna do ‘Cause I was made to love you I was made to love you I was made to love you by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 If the earth would stop its course around the sun And we could start to run around the sky and name stars one by one And if I talked along the way of all the things you are to me I'd never finish by the time we're done And I've resolved there's just some things I cannot do, when it comes to you CHORUS Forever will never be long enough A trip to the stars isn't far enough And words just never could say enough To tell how I love you My arms could never stretch far enough This whole world isn't large enough And there will never be time enough To tell how I love you VERSE 2 There's so many things I'd like to say to tell you what you mean to me But there seems to be never enough time How I'd like to summarize my views, consolidate my feelings But too many always seem to come to mind And I've realized I'm at a loss in telling you, how I feel for you CHORUS Forever will never be long enough A trip to the stars isn't far enough And words just never could say enough To tell how I love you My arms could never stretch far enough This whole world isn't large enough And there will never be time enough To tell how I love you BRIDGE But maybe when there's no more time to tell And the laws that hold us down will let us fly away Oh, and when the end gives way to new beginnings Find ourselves in extra innings, I will find a way But for now I have to say CHORUS Forever will never be long enough A trip to the stars isn't far enough And words just never could say enough To tell how I love you, oh My arms could never stretch far enough This whole world isn't large enough And there will never be time enough To tell how I love you, how I love you by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

Miracle 03:06
VERSE 1 Some lookin' for a sign, tryin' to tell the time and season Some seekin' evidence, to give a little rhyme or reason They wonder when a wonder will appear VERSE 2 Some watch as planets dance, chart the stars to learn their secrets Some pray phenomena will somehow bring life meaning But lookin' out, they're missin' what's within The greatest sign is where it's always been CHORUS A heart that's runnin' free, down desire street Spreadin' love's wildflowers Finding heaven's peace, wakin' up to your dreams That's the miracle VERSE 3 Some gaze into the sky, awaiting visitation Some seek a fortune told, or any affirmation But writing on the wall is not the highest mark What you need is written on your CHORUS Heart runnin' free, down desire street Spreadin' love's wildflowers Finding heaven's peace, wakin' up to your dreams That's the miracle of miracles, of miracles BRIDGE Well I believe in providential happenings But the greatest of these is CHORUS Hearts runnin' free, down desire street Spreadin' love's wildflowers Finding heaven's peace, wakin' up to your dreams That's the miracle Runnin' free, down desire street Spreadin' love's wildflowers Finding heaven's peace, wakin' up to your dreams That's the miracle of miracles, of miracles Spreadin' love, findin' peace Wakin' up to your dreams Spreadin' love, findin' peace Wakin' up to your miracle by Jeremy Hendrickson - © 2009 Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

Tallest Tree 03:15
VERSE 1 Look at you, looking at me with those trusting eyes You're making me believe in me In my arms, resting you lay with so little care Just knowing I am here And if a trait of nature fell to me I know what I'd wish it to be CHORUS I want to be the tallest tree Standing in your world One who you can look up to Whose branches spread and cover you One who grows more every year So you can see the view from here If life will grant me just one thing I'm gonna be your tallest tree VERSE 2 Look at you, lavishing me as if I were a king I'm sure I don't deserve this So many dreams, so many things you seem to see in me And that you're helping me to see But can I really live up to, the faith I feel in you CHORUS I want to be the tallest tree Standing in your world One who you can look up to Whose branches spread and cover you One who grows more every year So you can see the view from here If life will grant me just one thing I'm gonna be your tallest tree BRIDGE And if a trait of nature ever were to fall to me I know what I would pray, I'd ask for just one thing CHORUS I'm gonna be the tallest tree, in your world Whose branches spread and cover you One who grows more every year So you can see the view I'm gonna stand sure and strong I'll never leave, I'm rooted down You can rest in the truth Of always knowing I love you If God will grant me this one thing I'm gonna be your tallest tree by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

Why Strive 04:02
VERSE 1 Have you ever seen a haughty cloud proud of its position in the sky Do mountain ranges tower high to remind us of our lesser size Have canyons grand and oceans wide rivaled over bragging rights Do land and sea vie for boundary Is it foolish to believe they think on better things CHORUS Why do we strive And work so hard to gain the world Why must we try to prove our worth To rule the earth, why strive VERSE 2 Does Saturn wear her rings to flaunt her wealth around the universe Do comets dash the sky to make us stare Has morning ever picked a fight with an up-and-coming moonlit night And why on earth are there so many stars Could it be wrong to think it's just because there are CHORUS Why do we strive And work so hard to gain the world Why must we try to prove our worth To rule the earth, why strive BRIDGE Is our planet green with envy Of a sun, red with jealousy Over stars who burn for so much more What's it for, why do we fight Clash and collide and agonize Why do we strive, Why do we fight CHORUS Why do we strive And work so hard to gain the world Why must we try to prove our worth To rule the earth Why do we strive And work so hard to gain the world Why must we try to prove our worth To rule the earth, why strive Why do we strive, why do we fight We labor, we labor in vain (repeat) We work so hard, we work so hard (repeat) by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

VERSE 1 Tired of these lonely nights Lost inside this maze of mine What I wouldn't give for just a glimpse of light I've seen every shade of pain, felt every drop of rain How I'd like to start again like a newborn babe Rise like the sun and CHORUS Shine, put behind the past This chapter is done and I'm through at last The east is calling, the day is dawning And I'm awakening, rise and shine VERSE 2 Gripped by fear, my mind clouded Like Thomas I had doubted That anyone could be new again Then the horizon came with the sky aflame And I knew that I would never, ever be the same Gonna take my place and CHORUS Shine, put behind the past This chapter is done and I'm through at last The east is calling, the day is dawning And I'm awakening Rise and shine, put behind the past This chapter is done and I'm through at last The east is calling, the day is dawning And I'm awakening, rise and shine BRIDGE Well, I know I'm not the only one I've seen the light of a thousand stars start to shine VAMP Rise and shine, rise and shine (repeat) by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com

Have you got the time, I do Have you got the room for two Have you given thought to me and you Have you got the time, I do Have you had the dream I have Have you been the fool I am Have you felt the way I feel for you Have you got the time, I do Have you ever been the way I've been Ever since the day I lost my heart to you Oh, have you Have you felt the way I feel for you Have you got the time, have you got the time Oh, have you got the time, I do by Jeremy Hendrickson - © Dwelling Songs - www.dwellingsongs.com
