When my body won't hold me anymore And it finally lets me free Will I be ready? When my feet won't walk another mile And my lips give their last kiss goodbye Will my hands be steady? When I lay down my fears My hopes and my doubts The rings on my fingers And the keys to my house With no hard feelings When the sun hangs low in the west And the light in my chest Won't be kept held at bay any longer When the jealousy fades away And it's ash and dust for cash and lust And it's just hallelujah And love in thoughts and love in the words Love in the songs they sing in the church And no hard feelings Lord knows they haven't done Much good for anyone Kept me afraid and cold With so much to have and hold When my body won't hold me anymore And it finally lets me free Where will I go? Will the trade winds take me south Through Georgia grain or tropical rain Or snow from the heavens? Will I join with the ocean blue Or run into the savior true And shake hands laughing And walk through the night Straight to the light Holding the love I've known in my life And no hard feelings Lord knows they haven't done Much good for anyone Kept me afraid and cold With so much to have and hold Under the curving sky I'm finally learning why It matters for me and you To say it and mean it too For life and its loveliness And all of its ugliness Good as it's been to me I have no enemies I have no enemies I have no enemies I have no enemies

Let It Wash 02:53
Lyrics: Matt LaBarber I've had my share, of fear and doubts Wasn't so sure, what it's all about Nothing has changed, except that I Don't need to have it figured out Just let it wash, over me, Let it wash, over me Just let it wash, over me I've had good friends, leave this earth That's ok cause I know, there's more than death and birth They're still here for me, when I'm in need This world is bigger than what I can see Just let it wash, over me, Let it wash, over me Just let it wash, over me I hope when I go That I'll be at peace Cause I know that I Left this world better than it found me Just let it wash, over me, Let it wash, over me Just let it wash, over me

Lyrics: Matt LaBarber Crazy that it broke my heart when I had to say I wouldn't let you neglect me another day Sacrifices you have made, you remind me of them every day Just because yours are grand, doesn't mean mine don't matter anyway Drag your feet every step along the way Left me in this house alone one too many days Darlin our love has gone sour, I'm afraid that now this is the hour Don't want to leave here, but I don't want you to stay Too many movies and way too much TV I was blind, now I see You have no grace and you're less than amazing to me Tried to keep the peace Til you give me back my keys Tried to humor you Til you get your stuff outta my room Try to make me jealous, say you're gonna start dating I said fine I'm more than ok with you wastin somebody else's time You never finish anything you start That's why we both got a broken heart Live your life on the fence and of course you end up torn apart Too many movies and way too much TV I was blind, now I see You have no grace and you're less than amazing to me You have no grace and you're less than amazing to me

Lyrics: Matt LaBarber Wastin' my time Trying to say something that's gonna blow your mind I'm stuck on a line That's how I know I'm trying too hard to force my words to rhyme For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough If It goes on and on That likely means that you are doing something that is wrong Cause when it comes If it is right, it usually comes to you all at once You have to run And grab a pen to try and catch it all, before it's gone For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough Two Hundred Million, Play on Spotify of that Taylor Swift song "Shake it Off" That song is dumb, So I don't see why my dumb song should take me so damn long For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough For most of us, the words don't mean a thing if the groove's strong enough
