Please Be An Angel (2014)

Please Be An Angel

FAWM 2014

Chagall

So yeah I wasn't going to FAWM at all this year... uhh, hi!

Just wrote the lyrics for now, the music isn't pulled out of the air yet but the feel is definitely folk-rock with a hint of country.

Lyrics:

Where were you when I was down and out
My heart crushed by doubt
When people tried to get me to kill myself
Were you behind the scenes
When your friends had killed my dreams
Or were you just standing by

We all need some help sometimes
Both weak and strong, both right and wrong
So I'm begging you now
Please
Please be an angel
I need an angel in my life
Enough of cruelty and strife
Please
Please be an angel
We're all called, it's time to choose
Unless we all win then we all lose
Please be an angel

Did you hate me when I said a lie
When it made you cry
And I heard you tried to kill yourself
Were you determined then
To let the devil inside win
Or did you love me through the pain

We all need some help sometimes
Both weak and strong, both right and wrong
So I'm begging you now
Please
Please be an angel
I need an angel in my life
Enough of cruelty and strife
Please
Please be an angel
We're all called, it's time to choose
Unless we all win then we all lose
Please be an angel

If your heart can be touched by these words
Know I never meant to hurt you
And I hope and I pray that I'll know someday
That you never wanted to kill me

We all need some help sometimes
Both weak and strong, both right and wrong
So I'm begging you now
Please
Please be an angel
I need an angel in my life
Enough of cruelty and strife
Please
Please be an angel
We're all called, it's time to choose
Unless we all win then we all lose
Please be an angel

Can you see the world that could be made
If we could understand
If we could do the best we can
Will you take my hand
Will you build as I demand
To make a heaven here and now

We all need some help sometimes
Both weak and strong, both right and wrong
So I'm begging you now
Please
Please be an angel
I need an angel in my life
Enough of cruelty and strife
Please
Please be an angel
We're all called, it's time to choose
Unless we all win then we all lose
Please be an angel
Please
Please be an angel
We're all called, it's time to choose
Unless we all win then we all lose
Please be an angel

Quiet Together (2013)

Quiet Together

2013

Chagall

Listen to the rain
Let it wash away the pain
Feel it coming down to make our lives clean again

Listen to your heart
How the beat's a work of art
Feel it strong in you and know we're never apart

We can be
Quiet together
We can listen
To all the songs that aren't being sung right now
We can be
Here forever
Holding hands and listening
Through all that life can bring
Through all that life can bring
Quiet together

Listen to the wind
Hear it rushing to ascend
Know it's carrying our wishes safely in

Listen to the calm
Let it bring a healing balm
To bind up all our wounds and make us oh so strong

Whatever is around us
The sounds of traffic or of thunder
Children's laughter or thunderous applause
Whatever is around us
Whether crashing waves or solemn hills
Being with you is a thrill
Whether loud or quiet together

We can be
Quiet together
We can listen
To all the songs that aren't being sung right now
We can be
Here forever
Holding hands and listening
Through all that life can bring
Through all that life can bring
Quiet together

Eternally Adored (2013)

Eternally Adored

2013

Chagall

I don't wanna stay
Here in this place
It's so forlorn and filled with pain
Just let me escape
Somewhere far away
Where I can heal another day

Just let me sing
To the Lord
Maybe I'll strike another heart with this same chord
Just let me fly away on clouds of song
To let his glory shine to wash away all wrongs
Just let me sing
To the Lord
And bask in that love
Eternally adored

I know you were hurt
I know it's not right
And now you're just looking to last through the night
Just trust me there's love
Which comes from above
And perfectly eases every strife

Come let's just sing
To the Lord
Maybe we'll touch another heart with this same chord
Just come and fly away on clouds of song
To let his glory shine to wash away all wrongs
Come let's just sing
To the Lord
And bask in that love
Eternally adored
