The moon is high and the sunset fades

The lullabies have all been sung

Were tuckin in another day

And stars appear now one by one

But the stillness moves and the silence yields

And not a single beat is lost

You can hear the chorus in the fields

Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on, rising to Your throne

Where You guard us while we dream

Chorus:
I was thinkin' the other day,
"What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way..."
Yeah, I was thinkin' the other day,
"What if cartoons got saved?
They'd start singing praise
In a whole new way..."

Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing "Yabba-dabba-do-yah"
Scooby-doo and Shaggy:
"Scooby-dooby-doo-yah"
And the Jetsons' dog named Astro:
"Raa-ray-roo-yah"

You think Id have it down by now
Been practicin for thirty years
I should have walked a thousand miles
So what am I still doin here
Reachin out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose
Somebody tell me whats a boy supposed to do?

I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But Youre sayin You love me

Lazy summer afternoon,
Screened in porch and nothin' to do.
I just kicked off my tennis shoes.
I'm Slouchin' in a plastic chair.
I'm Rakin' my fingers through my hair.
I close my eyes and I leave them there.
And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away.

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen.
Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast.

There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes his home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to

Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in
All we do is believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessing
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketching

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much

My memories of my brothers and me
Make me marvel at the way the years went by.
Here we are, how'd we ever get this far?
I wonder how, and I wonder why.
Then I recall what these boys often saw
When we would stop to look in Mom and Daddy's door.
They'd bow their heads while they knelt beside their bed,
And we could hear them lift our names before the Lord.

What am I gonna be when I grow up?
How am I gonna make my mark in history?
And what are they gonna write about me when Im gone?
These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters
But I have no guarantee of my next heartbeat
And my worlds too big to make a name for myself
And what if no one wants to read about me when Im gone?

I would take no for an answer,
Just to know I heard you speak.
And I'm wondering why I've never,
Seen the signs they claim they see.
Are the special revelations,
Meant for everybody but me?
Maybe I don't truly know You,
Or maybe I just simply believe.

'Cause I can sniff, I can see,
And I can count up pretty high;
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky.

Is our world spinning backwards?
What has brought about this change?
Can't you see that people aren't the same.
I wish I were dreamin', and could wake up from my sleep,
And find us all the way we used to be.

'Cause the love that used to be is dyin'.
Is anybody even tryin'?
And I don't know how, I don't know why,
But somethin' in my soul is cryin'. (listen)

Chorus:

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But Long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home

Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
