Track Name: Holding
Holding
By Rachel Stevener

I do not know which way to turn
The right, the left seem equal roads
The answer cloaked in mystery
Makes it hard to trust in things unseen

CHORUS
But the hills keep rolling
And the wind keeps blowing
And you keep holding me tight

The high hour seems far away
I can’t move myself to try again
Then you tell me trying’s not the key
No wonder I am weeping

CHORUS

I dreamt about your loving arms
Soothing all my careless scars
I wake up to a brighter dawn
And realize my longings point me home

CHORUS
Track Name: The Trees
The Trees
By Rachel Stevener

Waking up, you feel the bowling ball on your chest
Even eight hours won’t give you rest
And you feel a little helpless today
Walking out to face the world with sullen eyes
The heaviness gets pushed aside
Because the giants in your life tell you they deserve to be first in line

CHORUS
What you get ain’t what you want,
What you want ain’t what you need
Don’t you wish they were the same, three in one, baby?
You’re shooting arrows in the dark
Hoping that you’ll hit the mark
Can’t you stop and see the forest for the trees


Take a breath; let time make friends with your heavy heart
And feel the pieces fall a part, But in a good way
Come on in, inside this tent where we all wait
The one who saves won’t hesitate
But sometimes the waiting weighs us down and we forget that we’re refined when

CHORUS

You left the small things in a pile by your back door,
Maybe you should come in that way a little more

Whatcha get ain’t what you want
What you want ain’t what you need
Don’t you wish they were the same, Cause one day…

ALT CHORUS
You’ll get exactly what you want
You’ll want exactly what you need
In the end they’ll be the same, three in one, baby
The shooting arrows will be still
Your emptiness will find its fill
When you fall asleep, you’ll finally see the trees

Finally see the trees
You’ll finally see the trees.
