Who I Am 03:10
If you have said that I am yours Then show me who you say I am Show me who I am as your child I’ve been abused and abandoned I’ve been betrayed and forgotten I’ve been a neglected and lost But that’s not who I am Will you heal me Adonai Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh You say you love me You say you love me You say you love me Then show me who you say I am Show me who I am as your child Reframe my worth Reframe my worth I’ve been hurt and molested I’ve been labeled a hater I’ve been a wretch and a slave But that’s not who I am

Barren dead and dry With no life in sight A desert region that most have forgotten A thirsty river bed In a valley full of dust But I sense the water deep beneath my feet Calling all Calling all Elephants Stomp the ground Stomp the ground Come one or come all Come gather as one Who will respond to the call With many, we will dance ‘Cause with many we are mighty The ground will start to break beneath our feet Calling all Calling all Elephants Stomp the ground Stomp the ground Elephants produce calls which have an infrasound element well below our level of hearing. These subsonic calls can reach 112 decibels; close to the sound level of a jet taking off. It's a thunderous, rumbling call that can travel up to several miles. Which the bulls use to call other nearby elephants; alerting them of underground water in the desert. The elephants then gather in a circle and begin to dance or stomp. Stomping together long enough causes the hardened soil to collapse and water to come up from the earth. All Calling all Elephants Stomp the ground Stomp the ground with me Stomp the ground Stomp the ground All Calling All

Candles 03:39
Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh A single flame Is enough to make a change But a dozen flames Will illuminate a room A match strike Starts the life of fire Pushing back the darkness Let it spread and burn Children this is who we are Candles in the dark Lights for lost and wayward hearts Ignite your flame Raise it high for all to see Children this is who we are Candles in the dark A covered flame Will be passive and contained But an open flame Cannot ever be ignored A match strike Starts the life of fire Pushing back the darkness Let it spread and burn Children this is who we are Candles in the dark Lights for lost and wayward hearts Ignite your flame Raise it high for all to see Children this is who we are Candles in the dark Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh Light another wick Children this is who we are Candles in the dark Lights for lost and wayward hearts Ignite your flame Raise it high for all to see Children this is who we are

Turn the tides Shake off the stress of regret And go Go change the world Turn the tides Don’t be afraid of mistakes Now go Go change the world We are the dreamers We are the brave Misfits from birth The daring and bold Who challenge the norm Let’s go turn the tides We were born for these moments in time Let’s go turn the tides We were born for these moments in time We are the rebels We are the change Outcasts from birth The heroes of faith Who dare to believe After all we’ve seen and swallowed Who can blame our reasons So let's prepare ourselves for war And a breakthrough
 And don’t close your eyes Don't close your eyes Don’t close your eyes Let’s go turn the tides We were born for these moments in time Let’s go turn the tides We were born for these moments in time These moments in time Redeem back the time Believe

Mask 03:51
Say, say, say what you mean Live, live, live and let live Don’t, don't don’t be afraid Love, love, love what you do Stand, stand, stand for the truth Don’t, don’t, don’t be a fake Don’t live a lie Let us see the true you Take your mask off Don’t live a lie Let’s get a good look at you Take your mask off Take it off Take it off Take it off Take it off Take your mask off Take your mask off Take your mask off Take off your mask Don't live a lie

Yet to Come 03:43
Like strangers passing through A dark and foreign land Are the daughters and sons of the light Our temptations frustrations And present sufferings Will all pass away in due time Our hope is strong We know We know The best is yet to come Our eyes have yet to see The glory that’s to come No one can imagine what’s in store Let’s fix our eyes on the prize While continuing the race And remember what we started running for Our hope is strong We know We know The best is yet to come Oh I long for the day When I’m dead in the grave And it’s with confidence I say That my death it is for gain My death it is for gain We know We know The best is yet to come We know We know And it’s with confidence I say That my death it is for gain My death it is for gain

Vision 04:04
Let me provoke your awareness. Allow me to inspire you to act upon the dreams and visions that have been placed inside your heart. For dreams are so specific to who we are as individuals that only the individual could ever accomplish that dream. Your specific combination of DNA will only exist once and has only existed once in the entirety of the world. You are an individual. The only person who will ever be able to experience the world through your eyes, from your perspective, is you.
 Vision will give you direction during seasons of ease and seasons of adversity. Without it, you will perish. Vision will guide you to places that don’t yet exist. It will empower you to hope for what is to come and to believe in what is yet unseen. Everything will rise and fall with your thinking. So guard yourself. For as a person thinks in their heart, so they become. Fear of failure, self-doubt, past regrets, and negative thoughts will steal your dreams and distort your vision. Fear is false evidence appearing real and doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. The cost of not following your dreams is spending the rest of your life wishing you had. Comparison can rob you of your gifts, which could ultimately rob you of your destiny. 
Be who you were created to be. Wanting to be someone you are not is a waste of the person you are. You were born an original. Don’t die a copy. And finally, I say to you, begin with the end in mind and live with passion. For, in the end, the only regrets we have are the chances we didn't take. Live for today And hope for tomorrow Learn from yesterday For there’s no time to borrow Take the vision You’ve been given Become the dreams Within your heart

My greatest fears and doubts are waging war against my future This army’s champion is scoffing at and mocking me But I won't loose heart In the shadows of this valley I’m standing up Standing up against I’m coming here Coming here to face I’m standing up Standing up against I’m coming here to face The Great Unknown All my uncertainty is looming nine feet tall above me And there’s a lump inside my throat that I just can’t ignore But I won't loose heart In the shadows of this valley I’m standing up Standing up against I’m coming here Coming here to face I’m standing up Standing up against I’m coming here to face The Great Unknown I’ll fight this giant With a sling and stone This goliath is defying my hope If you are for me My God who could dare oppose me I’m standing up against I’m coming here to face I’m standing up against I’m coming here to face The Great Unknown

Identity 03:20
Another sleepless night spent staring in the mirror Through the smeared and dusty glass, I see a stranger
 Lost my faith Forgot my name Not even sure if I know who’s the one to blame It’s time to live and dream again It’s time to love and fight again I’m taking back my identity Reclaiming all that I used to be I’m taking back my identity Reclaiming all that was stole from me Breathing shallow breaths of lifeless stale air While distant memories are ringing in my ears My heart’s been bruised My mind is numb No one told me life would beat me up this much It’s time to live and dream again It’s time to love and fight again I’m taking back my identity Reclaiming all that I used to be I’m taking back my identity Reclaiming all that was stole from me Let the lies fade out Let the truth call out Let the noise fade out Let the truth call out It's time to live again It’s time to dream again It’s time to love again It’s time to fight again Fight again Fight again No more sleepless nights spent staring in the mirror

Make Amends 04:01

My friend my dear brother We’ve battered each other And now we’re both covered With wounds on our backs And yes I still wonder What led to our blunder And how did we wander Down such a path How did we wander down this path Can we lay our swords and our shields on the ground Can we try to start over and turn this around If we’re both seeking mercy, forgiveness, and grace Tell me can we make our amends Our friendship is silent from hatred and violence Resentment is trying to tear us apart Rapport has been ruined and trust is diluted 'Cause evil has rooted itself in our hearts Evil is rooted deep in our hearts Can we lay our swords and our shields on the ground Can we try to start over and turn this around If we’re both seeking mercy, forgiveness, and grace Tell me can we make our amends Genuine love Genuine love Genuine love Can cover Can cover Can cover our sins
