Half Acre (Dan Messe) I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan And folded in this scrap of paper Is the land I grew in Think of every town you've lived in Every room you lay your head And what is it that you remember Do you carry every sadness with you Every hour your heart was broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with you A man is walking on the highway A woman stares out at the sea And light is only now just breaking So we carry every sadness with us Every hour our hearts were broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with us But I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan I am carrying this scrap of paper That can crack the darkest sky wide open Every burden taken from me Every night my heart unfolding My home Half Asleep (Dan Messe) I want to tell you I've watched the waves That wake the sea The lightning that wakes up the ground And my heart has been half asleep inside of me It wakes up when you come around I want to tell you I've watched the moon That trips the tide The shadows that trip on the tree And I'm wearing a blindfold, a shoelace untied I'm steady when you're next to me I've been half asleep all of my life Lost in the dark of some perilous night Is that you or some beautiful light Finally coming around And my heart has been half asleep all of my life It wakes up when you come around It wakes up when you come around Home Again (Steve Curtis/Gary Maurer/Dan Messe) I count the cars out on the highway I think about you now and then The stars are out and no one knows me Til I'm home again The sun breaks across the water A warm reminder on the wind The days are sweet but what I want is to be home again To be home again And I'm home again And the stars keep shining but I'll never look back Let the stars keep shining but I'll never look back The map is tearing at the corners I can't remember where I've been The world unfolding while the highway takes me home again And I'm home again And I'm home again And the stars keep shining but I'll never look back Let the stars keep shining but I'll never look back Cuz I'm home again And I'm home again Wanna be home again Gonna go home again Gonna go home again Wanna be home again The Meeting Place (Dan Messe) On the oldest day That the world has known I will meet you in the place we share And it's not okay But you're not alone I will find a way and meet you there And all the ships are lost on the river I'll swing a light on the safest shore And it's not okay But it's not too late Cuz we're not alone anymore The Part Where You Let Go (Dan Messe) When the rain breaks the road Are you holding on Are you holding on To your last good day When the stone breaks the wheel Are you holding on Are you holding on Til the stone rolls away And I don't know Is this the part where you let go And tumbling out of a window Is this the part where you find out I'm there for you When the sun leaves the field Are you holding on Are you holding on To the last sweet light When the flame leaves your eyes I still see you there I still see you there On your darkest night And I don't know Is this the part where you let go And sinking under a shadow Is this the part where you find out I'm there for you now As your hand's breaking free I am holding on I am holding on As you've held on to me And I don't know Is this the part where we let go Tumbling out of a window Is this the part you're there for me And I don't know Is this the part where you let go And sinking under a shadow Is this the part where you find out I'm there for you You find out I'm there for you You find out I'm there for you While My Hand Was Letting Go (Steve Curtis/Gary Maurer/Dan Messe) The time that I remember seeing nothing in the sun A tremor in my bones at last light something had begun The light between the buildings didn't rise as high or strong But slanted through the window like it did when days were long The frost fell on the park when all the schoolboys went inside The postman and policeman dropped their hat and clipped their stride And wind stirs on the sidewalk and it hangs outside the door Waiting on the summer while we lay right on the floor But when I see over the avenues And when I know what I know Just like the sleep when all our days are new Below singing asleep I dreamt beside you while my hand was letting go You left a slight impression on the corner of the chair If you were walking past it you might never know it's there If you were walking past it though and I was standing by Oh I was standing near to you as you were walking by But when I see over the avenues And when I know what I know Just like the sleep when all our days are new Below singing asleep I dreamt beside you while my hand was letting go Asleep I dreamt beside you while my hand was letting go
