Keep your voice low and keep your feet a-movin' This train moves slow but there's still time for losing Down by the river and up upon the track Humble pilgrims come to get their freedom back We're going to a sunny coast where Gold overflows and mountains kiss the heavens Say goodbye to stormy skies 'cause Sweet California's gonna be our home Keep your head up and keep your toes a-tappin' You'll find good luck on that dusty crossing Down by the river and up into the trees Come up pioneers to find the home you seek Maybe we'll find love, maybe we'll find gold Maybe we'll find our dreams outside of sleeping Maybe we'll find those friends worth keeping 'cause Sweet California's gonna be our home

Summer 03:00
Write our names on an oak tree You can smell the heat in the grass Sigh along with the crickets Summertime is here at last Feel the cool of the pavement You can see those city lights Sing along with a stranger Oh my friend it's a beautiful life

Roadtrip 03:34
We packed our bags and headed east to find another life We tied up every end and kissed our mama goodbye I saw you were in pieces and wanted to make it right But then I saw you as you danced and watched the rain renew your youth The wooden floors of New Orleans bore witness to the truth And on a dock in Georgia, I saw the weight of hope break through and I knew It's alright Cause on the other side of the dawn There's a day that you've never known On the other side of this storm Is a song that will lead you... home We heard the sound of raindrops falling on our teepee Silly hats and scary bugs and wild donkeys I think God was in the storm clouds And Thundering all through the night We sang our way across the hot and humid summer air Southern hospitality saw to our every care The color all around us reminded that we weren't alone My friend I do believe that there's a song you've yet to sing A broken heart can often make the sweetest melody There's sunlight in the forest and summer on my mind The sound of birds and grasses in the wind are keeping time I can feel the distance ending and my heart returning home and it's alright

Blue Eyes 03:38
Blue eyes Always searching for a landing Never knowing the whole story I was caught up in your waves Blue eyes You always sang your understanding And I was drawn to your enchanting But too young to play the game Well I tried I tried to love you With all my might to love you But it wasn't right it wasn't right Blue eyes Always taking without asking Never feeling quite like family And missing home in your embrace Blue eyes You gave me wings that were too heavy You gave me courage but it scared me So I became a grounded saint Well I tried I tried to love you With all my might to love you But you weren't mine no you weren't mine Blue eyes Always full of love and new dreams Had a way to see right through me But In a hurry, I was blind Blue Eyes Taught me so much about mercy Left their mark of grace upon me And left me ruined for the chase Well I tried I tried to love you With all my might to love you But it wasn't time it wasn't time One day my prince will come I'll be ready then I think to sing a brand new song One day the smoke will clear I'll have eyes to see and ears to hear when love comes along When love comes along Then I'll try I'll try to love you with all my might to love you and it will be time and it will be right and he will be mine

You changed my name to Beautiful You locked my heart in love You took the key back from the thief That had taken my trust Lies came off like Halloween masks And truth came and fit like a glove Now my name is Beautiful My heart's locked up with love OHHHHHH You changed my name to Righteous When all I knew was death Seas of doubt that crushed my joy Were drained with Your last breath I looked around to find my shroud But Your love was all that was left Now my name is Righteous There's a new heart in my chest OHHHHHH You changed my name to Daughter Brought color into gray You took me in when all I knew Was how to be a runaway You picked me up and snuggled me close And You gave me a reason to smile You say to me "My Daughter, "Won't you come and stay for a while" OHHHHHH You called my name beloved You took me as your Bride It took some time for me to see I was lovely in Your sight My every insecurity Met by patient love in Your eyes And now my name's Beloved I believe that I'm a bride

Sunny and 63 That's all my hometown knows how to be I've got so many memories Growing up here It's where I fell in love It's where I battled with feeling like I was enough It's where I learned to sing To the tune of that coastal wind blowing Now I'm setting out From those hills that I know I'll have to figure out Where to find a new home Would you keep me close I'll miss your strawberries I'll miss your cigarette sands I'll miss your mustard lined hiways and backroads in the springtime I'll miss your thrift stores I'll miss those friends that I love I'll miss the church where I grew up and those steps where I met Jesus Now I'm setting out From those hills that I know I'll have to figure out Where to find my new home Would you keep me close To Home
