I Don't Hate You

What happened to conversation
Where there's an exchange of information
We mull it all over as we talk
And listen to eachother's deepest thoughts
And sometimes we land on the same side of the fence that we've been climbing up
And sometimes our hand is the only thing we can offer
I don't hate you because we disagree
I don't hate you because you're not like me
Why can't we just sit and talk
And shake hands we turn to walk away
'Cause I don't hate you
No I don't hate you
When did things become so black and white
If you're not on my side you have no right
To express an opinion of your own
Brace for enemy fire and fire from your own
And sometimes we land on the same side of the fence that we've been climbing up
And sometimes our hand is the only thing we can offer
I don't hate you because we disagree
I don't hate you because you're not like me
Why can't we just sit and talk
And shake hands we turn to walk away
'Cause I don't hate you
No I don't hate you
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through my face
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through my face
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through
Let love and grace shine through my face
I don't hate you because we disagree
I don't hate you because you're not like me
Why can't we just sit and talk
And shake hands we turn to walk away
'Cause I don't hate you
No I don't hate you
Why can't we just sit and talk
And shake hands we stand and walk away
'Cause I don't hate you
No I don't hate you

Know You're Loved

Time can take its toll on us all
The clock never stops ticking on the wall
This journey of adventure that started out as fun
Has at times had us on the run
But no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve seen
There’s a truth for everyone
Whoever you are, know you’re loved
Wherever you are, know you’re loved
Whoever you’re trying to be, know you’re loved
Whatever you’re trying to feel, know you’re loved
Time can be a healer, sometimes not
A broken heart is something time forgot
When all around is darkness, it’s hard to find your way
You’ve got to trust that after night will come the day
And no matter what you’ve said or what you’ve done
There’s a truth for everyone
Whoever you are, know you’re loved
Wherever you are, know you’re loved
Whoever you’re trying to be, know you’re loved
Whatever you’re trying to feel, know you’re loved
Whoever you are, know you’re loved
Wherever you are, know you’re loved
Whoever you’re trying to be, know you’re loved
Whatever you’re trying to feel, know you’re loved
Whoever you are, know you’re loved
Wherever you are, know you’re loved
Whoever you’re trying to be, know you’re loved
Whatever you’re trying to feel, know you’re loved

Born to Be

Searching for approval with every post
Who can you be that they like the most
You morph and you change to fit the mould
Burying it deep in the soul you've sold
And with every change you make to blend
You lose yourself in the end
Who were you born to be
What makes you soar
When you close your eyes, what do you see
Do you dream that there's more
More than the world you know
Has offered so far
A place where you're good enough
Just as you are
Do they like you better now you've changed your size
Are you more acceptable in their eyes
Their lack of kindness leaves you cold
And you bury it deep in the soul you've sold
And with every change you make to fit
You give yourself away bit by bit
Who were you born to be
What makes you soar
When you close your eyes, what do you see
Do you dream that there's more
More than the world you know
Has offered so far
A place where you're good enough
Just as you are
Although you may not feel it
Hauled up in the dark
Where words they've aimed and fired
Begin to hit the mark
There's hope on the horizon
If you'll only lift your eyes
Believe the true words spoken
Don't believe their lies
Be who you're born to be
It's what you're here for
Close your eyes, what do you see
Do you dream that there's more
More than the world you know
Has offered so far
A place where you're good enough, you're good enough, you're good enough
Just as you are
Oh you are beautiful
Just as you are
You've always been good enough
Just as you are

Fake News

Fake news it’s fake news
It’s hot off the press and it’s making a mess
Don’t let it depress you
It’s fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
No truth has been found
But it’s making the rounds
Don’t let it confound you
It’s fake news
Famous faces, big names
Shot down in flames
We all watch as they fall
Then we realize it wasn’t true after all
Headlines, shock news
Wait for it… I’m confused
Did they say we’re gonna die
If we don’t stockpile our fridge tonight
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t show it your eyes
You’ll only see lies
That will hypnotize you
With fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t lend it your ear
It's here to spread fear
That will paralyze you
With fake news
Making money from people’s pain
Your loss is their gain
Every post that you share
Is making some money for somebody somewhere
Lies lies and more lies
I guess it’s no surprise
When we’ve come to rely
On people with their own agenda
Fake news it’s fake news
It’s hot off the press and it’s making a mess
Don’t let it depress you
It’s fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
No truth has been found
But it’s making the rounds
Don’t let it confound you
It’s fake news
Another day, another pound
Get me off this merry-go-round
Don’t wanna read another word
Written by somebody with a mask on
Designed to pit us against each other
Instead of standing as sister and brother
No more, not for me
I wanna live in unity
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t show it your eyes
You’ll only see lies
That will hypnotize you
With fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t lend it your ear
It's here to spread fear
That will paralyze you
With fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
It’s hot off the press and it’s making a mess
Don’t let it depress you
It’s fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
No truth has been found
But it’s making the rounds
Don’t let it confound you
It’s fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t show it your eyes
You’ll only see lies
That will hypnotize you
With fake news
Fake news it’s fake news
Don’t lend it your ear
It's here to spread fear
That will paralyze you

As I Am

I’m standing here today
Not perfect in any way
I’m living in your grace, as I try to run this race
With confidence I lift my hands and say
Take me as I am, forgiven
When you became the lamb
Sacrificed for freedom, my freedom
Sin no longer claims or holds me
When you broke the chains
You set me free forever, forever
In freedom now I live
Receiving all You give
Forgiveness for my sin, so I can start again
Thankful I can lift my hands and say
Take me as I am, forgiven
When you became the lamb
Sacrificed for freedom, my freedom
Sin no longer claims or holds me
When you broke the chains
You set me free forever, forever
No-one else could save me
No-one else could break the chains
No-one could breathe new life
Only the One who reigns
No-one else could save me
No-one else could break the chains
No-one could breathe new life
Only the One who reigns
No-one else could save me
No-one else could break the chains
No-one could breathe new life
Only the One who reigns
No-one else could save me
No-one else could break the chains
No-one could breathe new life
Only the One who reigns
Take me as I am, forgiven
When you became a man
Sacrificed for freedom, my freedom
Sin no longer claims or holds me
When you broke the chains
You set me free forever, forever
Forever, forever

Influencer

I wanna be an influencer
It’s not about my hair or where I buy my clothes
But who I am when nobody knows
For no money
Do you wanna be an influencer
Not for who you know or where you fly
But how you treat your world and the passers by
In your community
Do you wanna be an influencer for free
So many people aspire
To leave the place that they were born
They’ve been told it’s unexceptional
That they should get out and reach for more
But if all the good ones go
What happens to the place they leave
No one left to hope for the future
That’s why I sing
I wanna be an influencer
It’s not about my hair or where I buy my clothes
But who I am when nobody knows
For no money
Do you wanna be an influencer
Not for who you know or where you fly
But how you treat your world and the passers by
In your community
Do you wanna be an influencer for free
Sometimes it can be hard to do
The thing you know deep down is right
Your vision blurred by what you hear
Be famous, be rich, be liked
Don’t forget who you are
And this world that you call home
Can you leave it to somebody else
When it’s your own
I wanna be an influencer
It’s not about my hair or where I buy my clothes
But who I am when nobody knows
For no money
Do you wanna be an influencer
Not for who you know or where you fly
But how you treat your world and the passers by
In your community
Do you wanna be an influencer for free
Who do I want to follow
Who do I want to follow me
Who is my role model
Who can find their role model in me
Who do I want to follow
Who do I want to follow me
Who is my role model
I wanna be an influencer
It’s not about my hair or where I buy my clothes
But who I am when nobody knows
For no money
Do you wanna be an influencer
Not for who you know or where you fly
But how you treat your world and the passers by
In your community
Do you wanna be an influencer for free

Upside Down
03:54

What if in the race to be the best
You turned around and helped the rest to get there before you
What if at the table set for four
You took the fifth seat on the floor before you’re told to
What if the goal for higher pay
Was not to keep but for more to give away
What if your virtual embrace
Became the time spent face to face with the lonely
Living in the upside down
Let the weight fall to the ground
As the world keeps turning
Living in the upside down
Where you give from what you’ve found
And the world keeps turning
What if to climb the ladder of success
Means to join somebody in their mess until it’s over
What if the fame that you’ve been searching for
Begins and ends with loving the poor
Living in the upside down
Where the lost become the found
And the world keeps turning
Living in the upside down
Where the servant wears a crown
So the world keeps turning
The push, the pull, the tug of war
The people adding up the score
Who’s winning
The networking, the power grab
The ones looking for backs to stab
It’s over
When you’re living in the upside down
Where the last are leading now
And the world keeps turning
Living in the upside down
Where the kings will take a bow
So the world keeps turning
Living in the upside down
Where the silent make a sound
And the world keeps turning
Living in the upside down
Where the kingdom can be found
So the world keeps turning

At Your Table
05:13

Is there room at your table
If I knock at your door
Are you fraying at the edges
Or is there room for more
Have you filled every moment
Or do you have a moment to spare
Is there room at your table
For someone who has nowhere
Is there room at your table
For the one out on the street
With no money for food or shelter
And they’re feeling like they’re beat
Are you willing and able
To show someone you care
Is there room at your table
To give someone a place to call somewhere
Slow down, can you
Slow down, won’t you
Slow down
There’s something to be found
Is there room at your table
Could you make a little space
For a lonely outsider
To come and take their place
What is a family
If you’ve got nothing to share
Is there room at your table
For someone who has nowhere
Slow down, can you
Slow down, won’t you
Slow down
Take a look around
Slow down, can you
Slow down, won’t you
There’s something to be found
Is there room at your table
For someone who has nowhere
Is there room at your table
For someone to call somewhere
Is there room at your table
For someone to call somewhere

What a World

What a world we live in
So many things to choose
What a world we live in
So many things to lose
With countless things to try
And countless things to buy
With countless reasons why
What a world we live in
What a world we live in
So many things to do
What a word we live in
And it revolves around you
With one click you can get
The quickest service yet
No need to step outside
You can stay at home and hide
What a world we live in
What a world we live in
No one’s knocking at your door
What a world we live in
Could there be something more
When there’s nothing left to buy
And no more reasons why
When the service has gone wrong
And you’ve had to wait too long
When you want to step outside
But you’re too afraid to try
What a world we live in
What a world we live in
When a stranger says hello
What a world we live in
When you’re standing toe to toe
With the fears you’ve held inside
With a friend stood by your side
No longer alone
Stepping out your comfort zone
And you’ve opened up the door
Because you know there must be more
What a world we live in
