Je vais faire du soleil, Raymond

Je vais faire du soleil
Il faut que j'en aie
Je vais faire du soleil
Raymond

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

Je vais faire du soleil
Sens-tu comme il caille
Je vais faire du soleil
Raymond

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

Je vais faire du soleil
Ne me jette pas dans la corbeille
Je vais faire du soleil
Raymond

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

Je vais faire du soleil
PrĂȘte-moi ton oreille
Je vais faire du soleil
Raymond

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

I don't want to be

I don't want to be anyone else but me
I don't want to be anywhere else but here
Where you are
Leading me to a better light

I just want to run into your loving arms
Hold me tight
Then I know I'm safe
Cos you are the light that guides my way

Every day is full of uncertainty
But there's joy in the morning
Cos you're there with me
And although sometimes it's hard to smile
You make the road worthwhile

The Wish

My wish is small and white and bright
Shines like a thousand stars at night
It's lovelier than any other sight
But I hold it so dear, I won't let you see it

Hold out your hand to me
Tell me you want to see it
But say that you won't steal it away
And maybe I'll say yes
But only if you promise

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?

You can look but don't touch
'Cos sometimes it's too much
When you fuss and you meddle
With the bike that I peddle.

But please don't stay away
Don't be scared
Of the things that I say

It's all just expression
There's no meaning really
But there is just one thing
I do want to say

Once I wished upon a star
Wishes come true
I know they do.

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?

Lord God our Father

Lord God our Father
Come hear your childrens' prayer
Your people are waiting
For your spirit's moving

Jesus
Come and heal us
Come and free us
Set us free

Since before I was born you knew me

Since before I was born you knew me
Every day of my life was marked out in your plan
When I came into this world you were already holding me
And still today
You carry me

Every moment is a chance to be closer
To the one who longs to walk with me each step of the way
And when the road seems rough that’s when I can trust you
‘Cos tomorrow, like today
You’ll still be carrying me

What love is this that calls me by my name?
What grace is this that takes away my shame?
So amazing is your mercy
You give me strength each day
Your eyes of love resting on me
To show me favour and your everlasting care.

Beautiful Dungeon

I was a princess locked up in a tower
The nights were long and darkness was my friend
There weren't any windows and I couldn't really breathe
But it was all I knew

Something inside me was stirring and yearning
I didn't know why I felt that way
I thought I was safe and had everything
But I couldn't wait for a glimpse of the day

No evil fiend could frighten me there
Three meals a day and familiar surroundings
I thought I was safe and had everything
But I couldn't wait for a glimpse of the day

Then I saw it through the hole you made
When you tore the bricks away
The light came flooding in and I saw the day

You came, my Prince on a stallion
You came and you rode right in
You found me there and you showed me the way
From my beautiful dungeon
Into uncertainty-
But you set me free
You set me free to be me.

Sonnet for a Friend

When you want to run but you can only crawl
When it's pulling you down and you're about to fall
But you're holding on for dear life
You're kind of stuck there

I see the pain in your eyes
I hear the sadness in your sighs
And when you look out the window
You're looking for something
But you don't know what

My friend, get out of your seat
My friend, my dear, take a leap
I know you think it's dark down there
But I'd love to see you fly

If you tried, you'd know why.
