Letting myself fall out of time...

Contrary to what you may think, I am not just a TobyMac fan (although I cannot wait til the concert at the end of the month). I have recently been enjoying the new Caedmon's album (courtesy of the bros from my bday) and perhaps the rest of ya'll would enjoy it as well. Here's 2 of my favs and the website to check them out http://www.caedmonscall.com/.


Share In The Blame

Words and Music by Sandra McCracken. c2007 Same Old Dress Music (admin. by music services) all rights reserved. ASCAP

Don’t blame the bullet for the wars you have sown
Don’t blame the winter when you’ve forgotten your coat
When you make the same deals for a hundred years and you wanna make a change
You gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame

Don’t blame your brother for the color of his skin
don’t blame your neighbor for the house he lives in
from the same cloth, we are made of, we are just the same
you gotta hold up the mirror and share in the blame

(chorus)
like a coming of age, I am learning how to say
all the failures I’m dragging behind
Finding freedom to speak, freedom to release
Oh tonight I wanna make peace with you

Don’t blame the writer for the doubts in your head
Don’t blame the preacher for the lovers in your bed
When you find out that the world is round, everything is rearranged
You gotta hold up the mirror, and share in the blame

(chorus)

Don’t blame the president, don’t blame the king
Don’t blame your history for what might have been
we will be free where the grass is green and the lion is tame
if we just hold up the mirror now and share in the blame


All Across The Western World

Words by Sandra McCracken & Derek Webb, Music by Sandra McCracken. c2007 Same Old Dress Music, Derek Webb Music (admin. by music services) all rights reserved. ASCAP

all across the western world
second hand, second skin
the rain comes through where the roof is thin
all across the western world

all across the ocean wide
with brothers, neighbors at our door
our banks are full but our souls are poor
all across the western world

(chorus)
so melt your wings like wax to fire
let yourself fall out of time
from ashes we rise

the broken down are on the mend
blessed are those who have no voice
you’re only free when you have no choice
all across the western world

(chorus)

all across the open sky
in my career of broken wings
redemptive ends from tragic means
all across the western world
