DAVID ARCHULETA – Broken

I know you don’t wanna say goodbye yet,
But she can’t survive here with just a petal
You still have one wish but it’d be useless,
More than roses have died in this desert.

Child, it seems that younger and younger,
They start to wipe your minds clean.
But how, I wonder, just barely under,
Do your eyes continue sparkling?

And I-I never want to open up your eyes, everything’s broken.
And I-I never want to open up your heart, everything’s broken.

I don’t understand why they are gone,
Or what reason there is to be strong.
I still try to love but I’m in a place where
Doing what’s right is so wrong.

But if you see me ignore the gun,
We are still fighting for life.
Here’s our wish just to exist
In more than our eyes.

And I-I never want to open up your eyes, everything’s broken.
And I-I never want to open up your heart, everything’s broken.

Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?
It doesn’t matter until we see broken lives heal
Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?
It doesn’t matter until we see broken lives heal

Oh oh oh oh oh…

And I-I found it hard to open up my mouth, will they hear what’s spoken?
But I-I saw when I opened up my eyes, invisible children.

Broke, but not broken.
Broke, but not broken.

DAVID ARCHULETA – Be Still, My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

DAVID ARCHULETA – Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

DAVID ARCHULETA – A Thousand Miles

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I’m home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

Now I need you
Now I miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you…
Tonight

It’s always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
Cause everythingÒ‘s so wrong
And I donÒ‘t belong
Living in your
Precious memories

‘Cause I need you
Now I miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you…
Tonight

And I, I
Don’t want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don’t want to let this go
I, I
Don’t….

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I’m home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

Now I still need you
Now I still miss you
And now I wonder….

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you…

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
‘Cause you know I’d walk
A thousand miles

If I could
Just see you…
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

DAVID ARCHULETA – Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it okay.
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough,
And it’s hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I’ll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.

So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There’s vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack.
It don’t make no difference,
Escape one last time.
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees.

In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.

You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
