'Nicol Smith' Album Lyrics
'Different Light'
Chorus
I want to see in a different light
I want to be in a different light
I want to love in a different light
From the inside to the outside
Somethin' ain't right
Got to be wrong
Livin' inside of my own private Babylon
Can't find the line
'Cause it's never been drawn
Gotten to the point wher eI just don't feel anymore
Why should I bother
Spending my time
Lending a hand could make me
Lose my place in line
Mirrors and motives
Are clouding my view
Only lookin' for the ones who'll get me
Where I'm going to
Repeat Chorus
The sun doesn't care
Shine on us all
Don't make a difference rich or poor
Great or small
Help me remember
Faith like a child when I'm walkin' the wire
I've got different eyes to see
When You're right there in front of me
Repeat Chorus
I'd be lyin' if I said I could do it on my own
Only One can bridge the miles in between us
Though I need a lot of help
If I'm gonna have the eyes of Jesus
Repeat Chorus to end
'Great Big Car'
You've got sixteen telephones
One in your bedroom
One in your bathroom
One in your car
A big long driveway super-sized doorway
Mega-sized hallway, motorized bar
But what goes around
Well it comes around
And what goes around
Will it let you down?
Chorus
What use is a great big house
If there is no love in it
And what use is a great big car
When it drives no love around?
You've got red wine, caviar
Genie in a jam jar
Forty five alibis
And your own jet
Indoor, outdoor, everything and more
Got your own seashore, never get wet
But what goes around
Well it comes around
And what goes around
Will it let you down?
Repeat Chorus twice
And I'm drivin' round and round
And I'm drivin' round and round
And I'm drivin' round and round
Repeat Chorus to end
'Last Long Time'
Lately, Ive been thinking
About how I spend my time
In a hurry, always worried
And if I caught up I'd still be behind
I've spent too many days and nights
Chasing the wind
Just running so hard to stand still
Chorus
When was the last long time
The last long time
When was the last long time
I spent with You
Oh it seems like forever
I need to talk to You
Lord, when was the last long time
Lately, I'm short of feelings
There's this longing deep inside
To be near You
I can hear You
And I miss our time alone
I've spent too much time
Not trying to find
A way to get closer to You
Repeat Chorus
You offer me peace
Beyond understanding
You're just waiting for me
And I know I could find
All the love that I'm missing
If I spent more time on my knees
Oh, be still and know
Be still and know
Repeat Chorus
'Here In My Heart'
Sometimes there's a time you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know I've got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
You'll never be far
'Coz like the light of a bright star
You'll keep shining in my life
You're gonna be right
Chorus
Here in my heart
That's where you'll be
You'll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as you're here in my heart
Won't be any tears falling from these eyes
'Coz when love's true love never dies
It stays alive forever
Time can't take away what we have
I will remember our time together
You may think our time is through
But I'll still have you
Repeat Chorus
I know you'll be back again
And till then
My love is waiting
Repeat Chorus twice
'When I Most Miss You'
When the earth is green and blue
And trees come back to life
I think of you
Walking through the park
Like we used to do
Yeah, in the spring is when I most miss you
When the temperature is high
The sun blares in the sky
The lake is full
Of children out of school
And daisies are in bloom
Yeah, summertime is when I most miss you
Yellow, brown, and red
The colors change
A chill in the air
Football games
That we went to
Fall is when I most miss
When I most miss you
When the earth is grey and white
I light a fire inside
Extra blanket time
It's lonely in life
Designed for two
Yeah, wintertime is when I most miss you
'Soul Salvation'
I've been trying to work out my soul salvation
I've been searching hard though I'm not sure what for
Still I've been trying to walk on towards my destination
But I can't seem to get up and get out the door anymore
Well, I've been trying to keep on keepin' on with the feeling
But I know sometimes you just can't trust what you feel
So I've been tryin' to walk on the fine line of distinction between
The truly righteous and the truly real
Chorus
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Help me to work out my soul salvation
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm trying to work out my soul salvation
That backbone you said you seem to be missin'
'Cause I've never really known you to be so in between
So I just stood like Gibralter with no real earth to stand on
And I tries to play it off like, "I'm not quite sure what you mean"
Repeat Chorus twice
'Vila Beto Ve'
I was awakened by a memory
A trace of other years
A figure calling to my life of ease
The face of poverty
Ten thousand miles stand in a way
But it draws me to this day
Chorus
I hear their voices deep inside of me
Vila Beto Ve
I tried to carve a new identity
But I could never forget
It's got a way of staying in your blood
As though you never left
Don't forget us when you go away
Vila Beto Ve, Vila Beto Ve
I find myself complaining now and then
About such little things
Always looking for a better hand
Than what's been given me
But there are those who have much less than me
Yet they face the world with dignity
Thanking God with joyfull eyes
Celebrating every moment of life
Repeat Chorus
It is said the last shall be first
What we think is blessing can be a curse
It is said the door is a needle's eye
And the pure in heart will see God
I hear their voices deep inside of me
Vila Beto Ve
It's not a matter of my charity
I can't afford to forget, can't afford to forget
It's got a way of staying in my blood
As though I never left
I won't forget You when I go away
Vila Beto Ve, Vila Beto Ve
Repeat Chorus
'On And On'
Part of me is shutting the door
I'm afraid to let You inside
Yet I know You're worth waiting for
Oh, Jesus, won't You give me a sign
Something to show for my tears
Won't You help me shake these fears
Chorus
On and on and on
Come and save me with Your love
Only You can move me, heal me, free up my mind
Why couldn't it be
A simple yes or no
It should've been so easy
But I played a game of stop and go
Want something to show for my tears
Won't You help me shake these fears?
Repeat Chorus
Well, it's all or nothing
So help me to start
'Cause this indecision's so hard on my heart
And even if I fall, You'll rescue me
Repeat Chorus to end
'The Beat Of My Heart'
So many mad distractions
Coming down to try to take control
Could cause a chain reaction
Detrimental to my soul
Fear can be paralyzing
Not sure which way you're supposed to go
All the prayer and the agonizing
Still no clear cut road
Chorus
Gotta follow the beat of my heart now
I'm not looking back again
Well You gave me the beat of my heart, Lord
And now I just gotta jump on in
I know there's a lot at stake
But hey, right now
There's a chance I gotta take
No perfect situation
May ever come my way
Repeat Chorus twice
The desert's burnin' hotter
Real refreshment is all I ask
I am so wanting water
Might end up drinking sand
You're the cure for this condition
Before I find I wasted all my time
Set my heartbeat in motion
Mercy, meet my mind
Repeat Chorus to end
'Closer To The Heart Of God'
I've chased my share of dreams
Enough to know
Some dreams are like stars
For the moment out of reach but always there
As shining lights to guide the heart
And standing here I see
Every road I ever traveled in my search for the truth
Has always lead me back to knowing and loving You
Chorus
With all my heart, my soul, my strength
With every longing every dream
Faith like a river to the sea
run through my soul and carry me
To the place I want ot be
Closer to the heart of God
Anytime I stop and listen
In between every beating of my heart
You are always calling me to come
And even when I wander far
in the everlasting arms of the One
who loves me so
And resting on the promise
That You'll never let me go
Repeat Chorus
Let every precious breath of air
Every moment, every prayer
Let the journey take me there
Let it take me there
Repeat Chorus
