A BILLION QUESTIONS
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

I picked up the phone and dialed triple 7
Found that it was the hotline to heaven
I took a number and waited on you

Father I know that you are busy
But the days at an end and I’m growing weary
I cannot go another night like this

Chorus
Cause I’ve got a billion questions
I’m dying to have the answers for
So may I sit at your table and ask you them all?

When will it be my turn to have you answer me?
I know that you have the time because you own eternity
And when my time comes will I be stubborn to?
Like Moses will I need a burning bush as a sign from you?

EMBRACE
Words and Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

I wish I could fly away from here
Releasing all of these bitter tears
So would you hold me in your arms for a while?
Until I’m brave enough to crack a smile

My body aches with shivers and shakes
Underneath all of these fading fears
And my humanity becomes so clear to me
As I feel the blood run through my veins Chorus
And all I want to do is stay here with you
And reveal in(at) the warmth of your embrace
My saviors, saving grace

I can’t open my eyes they are sealed tight
Sealed by the power of your blows
This once beautiful skin now discolored
A mottled pattern of blue and black
Sometimes I run and I try to hide
In the hope no one will find me there
But you always know just what it is
What it is that I am hiding from

Saving grace... saving grace

NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)

I look into the oceans I stare into the seas
I gaze at the mountains I see the strength in all of these
I stop to smell the flowers and marvel at the trees
And if I had the faith of but a mustard seed
I could move any of these

Chorus
And all of my emotions collide into one
When I think of your love
After all you have done for me and how you hold me
Hold me how you hold me in your arms tonight

Tomorrow will come as today fades away
My eyes will open and I'll see your face
And the beauty you hold within my heart
Will spring forth from my face Will spring forth from my face

Chorus

I look into the oceans I stare into the seas
I gaze at the mountains I see the strength in all of these
And if I had the faith of but a mustard seed
I could move any of these

Chorus

MY GLORIOUS
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

Where this road leads only you know
But I will follow you wherever you may go
So take my hand in yours and I will follow tow
Stand on your shore in the ebb and flow

The radiance you shine
Takes me by surprise every time
The stars in the sky
As heaven opens wide enough To see ...

Chorus
My Glorious, My Glorious

Through the Valleys of our different lives
You have spun your yarn weaving the tapestry of time
And suddenly the pieces of this puzzle all make sense
Your mysteries unfold as you dissect my soul

TATTERED
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

I am battered and worn I am tattered and I am torn
Slip this needle into my vein
In the hope I’ll escape this pain In the end

Release comes quickly for this boy
An overwhelming sense of joy... That will fade away
I lye awake but half asleep stare at the stars beneath my feet
They disappear one by one

Look what I’ve become so fade to black and change the scene
You pass me off as a has been who could love someone like me?
This excuse of a human being

So I’m free to walk these streets on this lonely beach
Feeling nothing inside clinging to my pride
Or what little I can find I drown my sorrows in this well
This place of living hell would God really save a wretch like me? I am on my knees Father hear my plea

Save me from a life Of eternal... Misery

INTERLUDE
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

She's a casualty of love
Another broken heart
Of one who has loved and lost and loved
Her memories are all that are left to be had
When our memories are all that are left to be had
It is so sad

TEMPTATION
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

Temptation takes a seat next to me
She whispers into my ears her words of deceit
She knows she has my attention with every word she speaks
I’m drawn into her madness, the ever-present sadness

Chorus
So is this way that is meant to be
Or is it that we choose to keep her company
In her time of need?

She has a pretty face that some mistake for grace
She’d have you believe that she's a saint
But deep beneath her skin you won’t find much
Just a life placed upon mistrust

Bridge
Take a look around you fool, don’t you see what she is trying to do?
On night of pleasure and a lifetime of pain, she will spit you out again and again

DONE IT AGAIN
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

It looks like I’ve done it again
What was I thinking in the back of my head?
I’m sorry for all the stupid words I said

Chorus
So will you give me one last try?
Or have I overstepped the mark this time, this time

You’re never wrong and I’m always right
There are no winners only losers in this fight

GRACE IN LOVE
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

Should I hold my tongue and bite my bottom lip
Cause every word I say seems to cause you pain
So why do you not turn away and leave me to fight this on my own
Cause surely you have had enough of my moans and groans

Chorus
But you stand firmly by my side
And I ask the questions why
Why do you love me after all I have done?
It’s got to be Grace, it's Grace in love

And I am rotten to the core there is nothing to salvage anymore
Cause I am nothing but a fool but a fool for you

THE HAND THAT'S DEALT
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

Life is like a pack of cards
We all get dealt a different hand
Some of us get the evens
And others will get the odds
Some of us are kings and queens
And others are jokers at heart
But at the end of the day, we all are just cards

Chorus
And I don’t mind biding time playing this game
The dealers dealt the hand that we all play

And some of us will dig deep trenches to keep others at bay
Others hold onto their aces till somebody calls their last play
Some of us are jacks-of-all-trades and others have learnt to master their pain
But a broken heart that longs for freedom will always find a way

Bridge
What would my life be? Had you not played your hand for me? As you placed it on the table For the world, for the world to see

INSIDE OF ME
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

Accommodate my apology I ask stumbling further forward from my past
I sit and wait to hear this gentle tune
But my ears are marred by the hurting of these wounds
Anxiously I hear the fading song anonymous I follow it on
Looking back upon this human life plagued with many wars and strife

Chorus
Is it really hard to see?
There is something that I need
To fill this emptiness Inside of me

And I cannot place my trust in anything that rusts
Because ashes become ashes and this flesh is merely dust

Is it really hard to see? There is something more I need
To fill this emptiness Inside of me

Cause all this fades away we each will have that day When only memories will remain

Chorus
Is it really hard to see? You're only thing I need
That it’s by your love That I’m set free I am set free.
(It's by your love)

POSTLUDE
Words & Music © Matt Allison
Unrealistic Music 2003 /admin Here We Are Music

As I sit upon these shores tonight gazing into the sky
A million stars hang over me and shine so bright
And if I had a wish that wish would be
That I could hold you for eternity in my arms, in my arms

And I would walk a thousand miles and then a thousand more
Just to gaze into your eyes and be taken back in awe
At the beauty that God chose to place in your angel like face
But I know your beauty runs deeper than your skin
