Wishing I Could touch the sky Oh how high Could I go? Wait and see Patiently They said to me You'll grow But how long How long How long must I wait? Pod to tree Flower from seed Oh each one needs It's time Soon you'll see What makes that tree Could also be inside In you these things you'll find Oh how high How high will I grow? For acorns small Make great oaks tall And like them all you’ll show, That some day you will grow

Lead Me Home 03:55
Side to side up and down its hard to fight the siren sounds that are calling…. But one still voice soft and true dwells within out of view it is calling, come to me I will always lead you home Clouds may break with thunderous rain and my limbs may ache to feel ground again But that one still voice Soft and true Remains with me and see’s me through It is calling Come to me I will always lead you home Clouds may break with thunderous rain and my limbs may ache to feel land again But all of my burdens are tamed at the sound of your voice You will always lead me home

Go to sleep, rest your mind Then you’ll find it’s really not that bad It’s just the day you’ve had Stormy nights can get you down But hang around, there’s better things to come With the rising sun The sun will shine it’s rays and you’ll see brighter days No more fears to face in the days to come The Son will shine his rays, share His warm embrace Love will find its place in hearts of everyone The Son will shine his rays and we’ll meet face to face Filled with saving grace all the days to come The Son will shine his rays and we’ll meet face to face We will sing his praise ‘til his kingdom comes!

Woke up in the forest next to you Amidst the brush and morning dew I heard your voice call soft and low Amidst the brush and morning glow Morning glow No I don’t wanna see the sun go down No I don’t want my feet to touch the cold cold ground So let me sleep and leave me be I’ll live my life with my eyes closed within my waking dreams Waking dreams Lost within the tall trees there I stood Oh I could die here in this wood But this path before me I must take If I should die before I wake Before I wake No I don’t wanna see the sun go down No I don’t wanna make my bed in cold cold ground So let me sleep and leave me be I’ll live my life with my eyes closed within my waking dreams Waking dreams

about

The album speaks a message of hope; believing and trusting that better things are on the horizon.

Behind the Album:

The concept behind the album stemmed from the proverb “Great Oaks from little acorns grow” which explains how “something of small or modest proportions may grow into something very large or impressive”. We liked both the message and the imagery this phrase inspired and wanted to centre an album around it. And so it began...
