Burn to Shine lyrics

This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me confined
Every single wall has cracked
But in this life you can't turn back

I don't want to live,
I don't want to live alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

As these words are with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I have promised but I lied
I don't even know myself inside

I don't want to be,
I don't wanna be here alone
Alone

We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realised our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moments time could one see forever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away my tears

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama,

II could give you more, but you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need, but you still wouldn't be satisfied
I could give to our poor
Now what good would that be?
You'd shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased

You, you've been lookin' at me
Just a little too long
Now I can never look the same
Blindness and kindness
There's no difference in the two
When I can no longer see the good in you

So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame

Now cause I'm, I'm a gentle man
Lookin' for a gentle woman
So-called ladies
They keep breaking my heart
Show me a house
Show me a home

Won't you sing me the blues?
Won't you sing me the blues?
Sing me something my heart can use
Misery loves a symphony

Does your face, your pretty face
Get lost in the crowd
And you say no ones' there
To hear you cry outloud
What will you do suzie blue?

Where'd you learn to do that so well?
Where'd you learn to do that so well?
I guess that would be like kiss and tell

First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

If I can change the world

With my own two hands

Make it a better place

With my own two hands

Make it a kinder place

With my own two hands

With my own, with my own two hands

With my own, with my own two hands

If I could make peace on earth

With my own two hands

And I could bring you up the earth

With my own two hands

And I can reach out to you

With my own two hands

Well I stand up next to a mountain
I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well I stand next to a mountain
I chop it down with the edge of my hand
I pick up all the tiny pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand., yeah

âcos Iâm a voodoo child
God knows Iâm a voodoo child

I didnât mean to take up all your sweet time,

Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals gone from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was wrong

Tonight he would be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he is in the Lord's Arms

So I drinked this wine to him
With each glass of memory

We have both been here before
Knockin' upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree to keep each other company
Never to go down that road again

My beloved one
My beloved one

Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin

You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven
You shall be
You shall be
You shall be forgiven

I pulled into nashville, tennessee, but you wouldnât even come around to see me
And since your headinâ up to carolina, you know Iâm gonna be right there behind
You
âcause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain, just to hear it fall is the
Sweetest sounding thing

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle, that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running, as if
I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying, tears I don't deserve

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none

Could've sworn I heard you say Amen this morning

Showing some kind of sign that you believe

Did it fall from your tongue without warning

Or just another,

Just another trick to fall from your sleeve
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels

I guess I bring the devil out in you

But we can both remove our halos

'cause even an angel needs love too
