RIVERS song 1
Turn our Hearts | BarefootBros I am so Proud, I care only for myself I hear your words and apply it to someone else Your word is a sword, so plunge it in deep Cut away the hypocrite, that lingerers inside of me Turn our hearts, Back to you, to you Oh Lord The best we have to give, are rags but you, turn them to Gold Lord we need you, soften our stone hearts Turn us from our rituals and back into your arms Shake the dust off of all, of our unshared Love When we gave you our lives, you wanted all of us There will be no revival, until we repent So turn us back around Bring us to our knees, shake us off our seats So turn our Hearts back to you Turn our hearts back to you, Take back what is yours If we do not live our faith, then what are we living for? RIVERS song 4
As Tides Pull | BarefootBros My heart, my heart, it pounds within me / The beat causes movements of pain So fast, so fast, the evil ones moving / Subtly corrupting this place Waves of destruction roll over this land / Unnoticed by many it past Destroying the tents we made with our hands / Every shelter is crushed How long must I swim in this darkness? / How long will I last without you? I’m clever enough, at doing what’s evil I possess no talent at all for doing Right I’m foolish, I’m senseless I’ve drowned my understanding But as tides pull, My hope is in the light I know, I know, as I grasp for a breath / A person’s life is not his own Afloat, afloat, I’m trying my best / Yet blind to what the future holds Correct me I pray but be gentle / I can only swim like a child But the one thing I know I can’t handle / Are the times I swam from the light How long will I repeat this pattern? / How long will I last without you? RIVERS song 7 - only on BandCamp
Sweet Honesty | BarefootBros I’m too proud to say, How I truly feel I’ve built up an image I know isn’t real My arrogance formed around me like a shield Diverting the truth when the truth is revealed I fool those around me with elegant words I listen so closely to make sure I'm heard I rate my opinion more than it’s worth I welcome the pretty and ignore those who are hurt. And You, you hold me closely You. You hold me tightly You, you know me yet you would let go I’m ashamed to admit this has happened before Even more ashamed to say it’s bound to happen still more I don’t understand how your love can endure And not be swayed by my faults and call me a failure You know what I’m behind my closed doors As I lie on my bed, you know all of my thoughts My addictions, my dreams, hoping I won't get caught Your Grace downs my pride, your love And I, can never let you down Cause I was never holding you up You’re the one who’s holding me. |
RIVERS song 2
Oh Eden | BarefootBros Come now remember / a time where men dwelt there Was nothing but love / nothing but freedom Oh be reminded / a life as intended The safety of love / Remember Eden... Yeah, oh remember (oh), remember Eden, Yeah, so remember (oh). Think back to its birth / Colours fill the earth There was harmony / that flowed from the garden But this song was taken / through great desperation So rolled in the darkness / and hearts would harden Yeah, oh remember (oh), remember Eden, Yeah, so remember (oh). Look to the start and you will see Just how this life was meant to be Look to the start and you will find where we went wrong yet there is hope, in what’s to come The heart of creation / calls for restoration It needs to be mended / it needs to be seen True regeneration / despite our condition Will turn us to you / Reminding that we need Yeah, to remember (oh), remember Eden, Yeah, so remember (oh). RIVERS song 5
Young Adelaide | BarefootBros 14 years old, suburban life’s all you’ve known / These back streets, your playground, yeah you’ve memorized the Roads / you avoid your mum’s boyfriends cause they make you feel gross / The only reason you go to school’s just to get out of home / But your friends have shown now they change like the weather / one day your friends forever / the next you wouldn’t be caught dead together / stability’s slipping, now there’s nothing to hold / your self concept tapes replay all the things you’ve been told / and you feel like there’s only one logical path of choice / you run to the open arms, just to fill this void / so the guys, with hungry eyes, tell you what you want to hear / whispering lies in your ears / just disguising their fears (but) Is this now really what you want to feel? If they only love you when you touch them, then is this Love real? Young Adelaide, where is your innocence? You’ve been deceived to believe there’s only one thing to become. Young Adelaide, ignore those images. Take back your youth and find the truth of Love 16 years old, have things fallen as you hoped? / you’ve got issues with friends, now you’re struggling to cope / You’re avoiding the dope, yet your life’s falling apart / You’re wearing long sleeves just to cover the scars / You’ve been avoiding your family so long it’s turned into a craft / remember the times you used to laugh / and how you’ve turned from that path / Those you once held dear, have now all disappeared / your hearts been pulled apart, smashed down and smeared / But there’s something inside of you that’s been there from the start is saying / don’t give up, I’m holding your hand embracing your heart and praying / the seed that was planted from the start / has been the part that never got hard / it was burnt but not chard / got hurt but not scared / And now this voice is calling out to you inside It says you’re beautiful you built for more than what this world is offering you tonight. Listen young Adelaide / Don’t get caught in the mess we’ve made / Turn around and Run away from this Look up, I’m holding out my hand / Together we’ll take back this land / Don’t look for love where loves does not exist |
RIVERS song 3
This Hope | BarefootBros When Hope is a word, that is rarely used You know what it means, but don’t think it’s true You live an arms length, from anyone who truly cares You bring his name down, when you don’t live like you claim When hope and redemption, gave birth to “the way” You might have moved on, but you still can’t let it go But it's not your time / to be left here blind Your heart’s on a bench, it’s turned red to blue You left it lying out, now its up for you to choose if this is you or if you are somebody else Now there just one more question, that I have to ask if you hold your breath, how long do you think you’ll last? Cause this life is all, that we hold to give as a gift. And it now your time / to see hope unwind / if you look we’ll find it’s clear Singing oh, you’ve been by my side This Hope will never let me go Singing oh, how you hold my hand and my soul will never be alone RIVERS song 6
See the Ones | BarefootBros See the ones who call the park their home & their back yards are the streets We stand afar looking down from our thrones Wishing they’d get away from our feet See the man sitting at the corner of the street I see him staring up at me Does he have a wife a child or any family Why is he now living on the street There’s so much more to him than what I see He is loved, he is loved Though his life might be a mess, he is loved He is loved, he is loved No he’s not considered less cause he is loved just the same See the girl standing on the corner of the street She looks ashamed it’s plain to see What were the choices made to get this life she leads Why does she now work the streets There’s so much more to her than what I see She is loved, she is loved Though her life might be a mess, she is loved She is loved, she is loved No she’s not considered less cause she is loved just the same See the ones who call the park their home & their back yards are the streets I know a man who gave up his throne & came down to wash their feet Let’s learn from him, let’s be like him Cause he loves us all the same You are loved, you are loved Though your life might be a mess, you are loved You are loved, you are loved No you’re not considered less cause you are loved |
