Wonder Valley

The valley drifts away in layers that fade into the deep russet tones. In the fields, cypress, vineyards and olive groves seem about to awaken after the long winter. I muse on the days that have rolled in ancient succession over this scene: winter in her tattered clothes, weary once again in her cold March striving. I imagine those who lived centuries before in this valley, and wonder how they felt when winter dragged her feet and heaved a melancholy sigh.

LYRICS

Im gasping for air now inside of these waters
I feel the tide pulling me so far down
I thought maybe someday Id have it together
But I learned the hard way never to trust myself
I look picture perfect till I let my hair down
And then you will see how far Ive gone away

Well maybe disaster is all that describes me
But my mama told me hopes never out of reach
So Im reaching out
Lord I need you now
Cause lately I stick to the small talk and breathe conversation
So none of my colors ever will slip out

Cause God forbid they see its hard enough for me
Just knowing that you see everything
Yet you love me
True colors and all

Cause you died for me
In spite of me
And you know this pain that comes along with loving me
And all my flaws cannot erase a love like this
Well Im only happy when I know youre with me
What make it so hard to get this through my head

Cause Ive never felt a love like this
To wait on you is better than a kiss
And the finest wine cannot compare
To the way I feel just knowing that youre there
I know youre there

And this pain Ive had is worth it all
Cause without the pain I wonder if I would know you at all
So its worth it all

Lyrics:

I Know You Believe In Me

I still remember when I used to dance
Those were the days I felt so free
Sometimes I feel I missed out on the chance
To be who I was meant to be

No more foolish pride
To hide the fear inside

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
I just need to know you believe in me

Like faded flowers wrapped in autumns chill
I know that time will take its toll
But Ive so many dreams left to fulfill
And its not time thats in control

With eyes open wide
I will not break my stride

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
I just need to know you believe in me

When Ive had enough
And I cant seem to stand on my own two feet
Times dont seem as tough
When I fall to my knees and I pray

Through all the tears Ive cried
You were by my side

CHORUS
I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
All because I know you believe in me

I look around this world of wonder
And I know theres a plan that I just cant see
Stormy seas wont pull me under
All because I know you believe in me

All because I know you believe in me
