oh
if i were yours i’d notice what it took
i would walk there from far away
you would be my only one
you would be my girl
i would carry you so far
you would see it all
into my arms
you find it in some new way
welcome to song dot land
sit and enjoy the journey
through song and sound
take a walk and look at the sun
what a beautiful night tonight will be
stars shining on you and me
the beauty resonates
the beauty resonates
and i was always given everything
and you were always with me
not alone, you are
not alone, you are
standing strong by your lonesome
you gave all
there you were holding hands
all your tries were in his plans
give it up
give it up
for good
give it up
give it up
for good
because fear has no place for you and me
you can be complete
on your own you will find
this could be a new beginning
this could be a new chance
maybe it’ll go right
oh, it did not go the way it seemed it would
oh, it did not resound across the fields
oh, I did not need anymore
you were mine and i alas! was yours
i pick at strings resounding love and unity
they drive each other insane
and all i have is together
in you i know everything
in you i know everything
i am a thousand miles
a thousand dreams
i lift it all to you
you could be a way for me to get back home!
limiting beliefs will drive you up a wall
you won’t have all you need
but look in the rearview mirror and see
mountains
a life moves better
hope rings new
we can be all you need
i would break ice and fish for you
i would explore the world with you
you could be all that you are
you could be all
i fly down a canyon without you
i give up my everything to be without you
the life begins again
every springtime
birds fly
no bounds
everytime you would love to see
you find something meaningful
i would be seventy-five percent the man you need
i would be all you need
i would be all of you
i would be all of you
i would be all of you
i could be all of you
all of you
all
i would run back from the dark into pools of joy
you would have it all
you would have it all
you would have it all
you would have it all
12:00
i play strings that resound the sweetest sounds
that, my friend—they comfort me in the dark
life is hard
and when you rest your head at night
you would have it all
all
all
all
i would step a million miles just to fly with you into something wild
you would have it all
you would have it all
you would have it all
we could be like this again
one from the other, you are
‘ere i am standing tall
but i know you are
you would have it all
15:10
if you could see
we would stand at shores and find a way to be
and find a way to be
and find a way to be
you would know all the things you want to know
love is strong
it’ll carry you and me along
there we’d walk
a thousand extraordinary miles
there you’d be
one with me
there you are
there you’d be
one with me
this is song dot land
this is song dot land
this is song dot land
17:30
little by little
you would become
all that you wanted
is finally done, finally gone
there you were
there you were
there you were a thousand miles
oh
i’d give you mountains to walk on
you’d see it where you are
you’d be what you are to me
a piece of kindness wrapped in bacon
like an autoharp singing its final song
here’d you’d go
here’d you be
i could know you
you could know me too
there you’d stand
there you’ll arm me
like the noonday sun
you enchanted all we were
i would know if you were
you’d be captured by my trap
you’d be all aboard everythings like that
ooh, i love your coffee scent
ooh, it’s amazing what we can represent
piece by piece heart by heart
you can find a better to relate to those around you
and piece by piece, you can find it all when you look your way
when you look that way
cross the street with care
oh don’t walk when you’re about to get hit by a car
or worse, a subway train!
don’t be stupid
don’t be dull
you could know they had ten beehives at my sister’s house
and, oh, how pure and clean honey tastes!
i know it now better than ever
and, oh, it is my favorite
it is my favorite sweet sweet!
24:00
oh, the thing on water
white and red and otherwise
you could fall
you could fall
there you go
who you are and who you know
there you go
there you go
you would be it all on the house
you would wear it til it runs out
you could never know
i could walk and you would run
there is no substitute
to your kindness going on and on and on and on
cause we have eternal gifts
gifts that have been passed on to us
from the love and the hard work of those who came before
you carry it all through your veins ever day, every minute
we’re learning and growing
we’re learning and growing!
26:50
oh you know it if you saw it
you could love until the end of time
you would have everything in your heart and in your mind
you would have love
you would have food
you would have joy
i would know you in a lineup
i could tell it from the start
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh whoa
oh oh oh whoa

and we could see you from the top to the start
