Song Lyrics
Half of Me

Too Long
It's been too long, long, long
Since I ate from the bread that makes me whole
It's been too long, long, long
Since I heard a word to still my soul
It's been too long, long, long
Since I drank from the river that brings me life
But I know that I'll be home one day

It's been too long, long, long
Since home was anywhere You are
It's been too long, long, long
And I've been searching near and far
To find that place where I belong
I swear I'll never find it here
But I know that I'll be home one day

Who You Are
Leave it to me to turn this ball of clay
Sitting half finished upon the Potter's wheel
Into nothing more than one huge mess
Seems I always want something more than I've got
If it isn't just what I imagined
I'll take my turn playing creator
Could I ever learn that the gifts I'm given
Are just what I need
Instead of wishing for something else
Could I open up my eyes and see

And take you for who you are
And know you for who you are
And love you for who you are
Who you are

When I watch you with your eyes so sparkly bright
And the hand that reaches out to bring me along wtih you
I'm amazed at the grace inside of you for me
And sometimes I wish I could return it
But my head spins circles, I'm spinning, I'm spinning
And if I haven't learned by now
I don't know if I'll ever learn
There's a lot of darkness inside of me
A lot of room for grace to shine
I pray that it would shine and teach me to

Bagdad
I waken in the morning, go about my day
Pour my cup of coffee in safety and in peace
I pour my cup of coffee in safety and in peace

You gather your family, you gather them near
And you cry out in anger, "God why aren't you here?"
You cry out in anger, "God why aren't you here?"

As I drive the road in silence, I see the morning light
Peering out behind the mountains, the colors orange and white
Pouring down upon the mountains, sending away the night

In your huddle of fear the bombs start to light
The glow upon your faces, the colors orange and white
The terror and destruction lighting up the night

One single finger on one button red
And your innocent life goes from routine to dread
Your innocent life goes from routine to dread

Now we both lie in silence, you and me today
Only I am safe and warm while your world has blown away
Why am I safe and warm while your world has blown away?

And I can't help but imagine you must be a lot like me
Young, in love, a dreamer, working hard and faithfully
Young, in love, a dreamer, working hard and faithfully

And I know I couldn't change it, even if I tried
Still I weep for your destruction and cry as you cry
I will weep for you, my sister, and cry as you cry
