Brown Eyes
03:17

It happened like a dream
Most gorgeous girl that I had ever seen
In all my life
I couldn't help but stare
I couldn't help but notice her brown hair
And dark brown eyes
But little did I know
how things would surely go
She's not the woman I took her to be
And I know what they say
But I love her just the same
'Cause she's a beautiful heartbreak,
breaking my heart so beautifully
'Cause she looks like an angel
But she talks like the devil
'Cause she's nothing but a demon in disguise
But I don't know that there's another in the world
that's quite as beautiful as
this brown eyed girl
She took me surprise
Her soul was just as dark as her brown eyes
But God forbid
She tore my life apart
But her beauty covered up her wicked heart
And I'm glad it did
'Cause little did I know
how things would surely go
She's not the woman I took her to be
But I don't even care
'Cause she loves me and I swear
that there's nothing quite as sweet
as that bitter heart can be

I know you wanted me to understand you
I know you wanted me to care
I know you wanted something more than an affair
I know you wanted me to be your father
I know you wanted me to learn
I know you wanted me to meet all of your terms
But, we see how that worked
'Cause girl it didn't last
But, I'm hoping that you see
I'm sorry that I'm not the man you wanted me to be
I know you wanted me to write you letters
And call you up before you sleep
I know you wanted me to move to Tennessee
I know you wanted me to stop pretending
that everything would be okay
I know you wanted me to love you anyway
Now you find a man that treats you well
And he loves the Lord with all his heart
And I'm sorry that I couldn't just live up to that
I know you wanted me to say I love you
I didn't want to say, "So long."
I know you wanted me to just write you a song
I'm hoping that you found the man you wanted me to be

I Talked To Jesus
03:37
|
|||
I talked to Jesus
and he told me I was wrong
about everything that I had ever known
I heard the Holy Ghost
He whispered in my heart
and he showed me every sin that I had done
All the lies, all the greed
All the war that I had waged
against my friends and enemies
And oh, I’ll never see
That no one else is perfect
‘Til I recognize my own humanity
I saw the Father
and he looked me in the eyes
And I witnessed the forgiveness on his face
He said, “In spite of what you do,
I love you all the same.
'Cause that is the significance of grace.”
All your lies, all the greed
All the war that we have waged
against our friends and enemies
But oh, we’ll never see
That none of us are perfect
‘Til we recognize our own humanity
I felt the Devil,
and he tried to do me wrong
Yeah, Satan tried deceiving me again
He showed me all the sins
of everyone I knew
'Cause maybe I’m not quite as bad as them
All their lies, all their greed
All the war that they have waged
Against their friends and enemies
All the sex, all the drugs,
All the pride that they achieve
All the pain that they have forced
on their entire families
But oh, we have to see
That no one else is perfect
and we’ll all just go berserk
and then we’ll never make it work
unless we recognize our own humanity
I talked to Jesus
and I told him I was wrong
About everything that I had ever known

Endless Doubts
02:32
|

You say you don't know what to say
If you'd ask me I'd say the same
Words don't come like they used to come to me
I can't tell you what's on my heart
Maybe it's just a bit too dark
Maybe I am just scared of what I'll find
Maybe I'll find everything is a lie
Maybe I'll find that I will never know why
Answers will never make you whole
They'll just leave you with bigger holes
Wondering if you will ever feel (fill) again
Questions fill me with endless doubts
And I'm finally finding out
Knowing everything doesn't do a thing
The more I know, the less I know in the end
The more I grow, the more I'm finally content

Moon
04:00
|

I've been looking at the man in the moon
And I've been wondering if he comes out during noon
I've been thinking about the girl on my mind
And I noticed that she's one of a kind
Oh, mister Moon,
won't you walk me through this
'Cause the skies are looking clear
And you're the only one that's here tonight
And I don't know what to say to her
But I want to run away with her
And there's no one here to help me out
You're the only one who's with me now
And so, mister Moon,
I'm trusting you
I've been thinking about the meaning of life
And what it takes for her to want to be my wife
And I've been wondering how the moon could shine so bright
When it never even shines by its own light
I don't know if I will ever be her man
But I would love it if you'd help me while you can
