Come As You Are Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 Shadows and victory Wrapped up in history I am more than the skin I am in I am more ... V2 Triumph and dignity Make for a mystery We are more than the skin we are in We are more ... Chorus I will join you there We all come from somewhere Eyes that see know all is fair We all come from somewhere Interlude Come as you are Come as you are Every living soul has traveled far Come as you are V3 Heartache and tragedy Calls that deliver me I am more than the skin I am in I am more ...

Indestructible Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 You and me We once believed It was a good thing One by one We came undone Like we dimmed the sun Chorus I want to see Now isn’t how we wanna be It’s all on the table We are shakeable Sometimes breakable But always indestructible V2 Us and them Take the attention We lost direction And we’ve got a hold On what we think we know Still, don’t get too close Chorus Bridge Rattle the walls Lean in and fall Count to ten Try, try, try again Solo Chorus out I want to see That now isn’t how we wanna be It’s all on the table We are indestructible

Higher Good Words by Laura Berman Music by Laura Berman & Roman Morykit Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI and Norman Mornyfat Music, ASCAP www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 From the darkest place, to a higher space Calling from every direction On every single path I have stood strong and cowered fast What a strange perception Prechorus Life is demanding But I am understanding The best I could was where I stood for … Chorus A higher good A greater truth Where once it was covered Now I have proof There’s a bigger lesson One I never expected Rising up from misunderstood A higher good V2 I’m always getting ready on steps that are so unsteady Dancing the same old dances I’m never really sure how to fit myself through the door It’s all part of taking chances Prechorus Chorus Bridge Well I’ve seen the road at ground level But there’s a wider view at play And it brings me home to revel On this fine fine day … for … Chorus out

Clay 03:30

Clay Words by Laura Berman & David Ault Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI and Conscious Mile Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 Oh the bold hands trace a path in the sand Forming places where I’m sure to land Chorus You make me the shape I’m in You end then begin again Like music from a violin Molding this melody into my bones And into my skin … like clay. V2 And you find stone and carve above to below See a line and you make right from the wrong Chorus Bridge Turns that’ll wind me up Curves that’ll carve me out of nothing I am something Hands that’ll sculpt me from rock That’ll soften as clay I am something I am something from nothing, and that’s everything Chorus out You make me the shape I’m in You end then begin again Like music from a violin Molding this melody into my bones And into my skin … like clay … like clay …

Home Words by Laura Berman Music by Laura Berman & Roman Morykit Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI and Norman Mornyfat Music, ASCAP www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 I never found a way to settle down Sparkles and shine Testing my hope & desire Prechorus When sunsets to marvel and raindrops that follow Won’t fill up your cup There comes a day when running away Breaks you just enough Chorus So I pray these words will do justice Your arms they teach me to trust us A kiss at the door A dance on the kitchen floor All that I’ve longed for Nothing has come before now V2 All that I’ve been is said and done Life is for living and love is forgiving We’ve just begun Prechorus When sunsets to marvel and raindrops that follow Still won’t fill up your cup There comes a day when running away Breaks you just enough Chorus So I pray these words will do justice Your arms they teach me to trust us A kiss at the door A dance on the kitchen floor All that I’ve longed for Seems nothing has come before now Here, love, is home.

Roots Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 There’s a deepening And no need for words Yet inside I speak And know I’ll be heard PreChorus Well I’ve misunderstood This life is safe and grand and good Chorus Feed my soul ‘Til I reach the bottom And it’s deeper than I’ve ever known Here I am found Now ‘til ever after And this love is but a sound It roots me down V2 I was a fallen one Now that’s a way that won’t work Still I’m holding on Through all the hurts PreChorus I’ve seen the fork in the road I won’t split my time anymore Chorus Bridge And the roots grows me together And the root is mine Forever and ever and ever … Chorus Out

The Great Divide Words by Laura Berman Music by Laura Berman & Roman Morykit Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI and Norman Mornyfat Music, ASCAP www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 We are crossing the great divide There’s a distance between you and I We’ll get home by hell or fire I don’t know how but I know why V2 The great divide Fascination with a careful stride We are hoping to make good time I don’t know how but I know why Chorus Hold onto me, hold onto me I will lose myself ‘til I am free & all that’s left is me and you And the way through Interlude V3 We are crossing the great divide Well, I want to be by your side And I know you’re not far behind I don’t know how But I know why Chorus Hold onto me, hold onto me I will lose myself ‘til I am free & all that’s left, all that’s left … Hold onto me, hold onto me Lose yourself ‘til you are free And all that’s left Is me and you and the way through The way through Outro

Baptized Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 Something so old is new Cracking it open with you Doesn’t mean these eyes won’t see you clearly Only, I want what’s true Prechorus Give it a day Things will seem new Maybe I’ll be Surprised by you Chorus I wonder if these walls will make me out a fool? I wonder if promises will mean a little more to you? I wonder, can this mess pull me in the tide? And leave me baptized V2 Somewhere in you went cold Traveling along the fold Doesn’t mean your heart won’t warm the pain, baby Only you walk this alone Prechorus Give it a day Things will seem new Maybe I’ll be Surprised by you Chorus Bridge / Interlude I am baptized … I wonder … Chorus Out

Together Again Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 Pockets and holes and little places to go Cover the light and make it just so Promise to give and promise to take away Oh the wonder fades with the day Prechorus Deeper, it wants to keep you Tap, tap on the arm It’s been too long Chorus She’s together again Together again Sowing her love Stichin’ it up Broken and bent but she’s on the mend Together, together again V2 Practice and preach and the things that we seek Every direction is bittersweet Promise to give, and promise to take away Maybe tomorrow will be easier to face Prechorus Deeper, it wants to keep you Tap, tap on the arm It’s been too long Chorus Prechorus … Chorus out.

Godspeed Words & Music by Laura Berman Copyright Orange Ray Music, BMI www.laurabermanmusic.com V1 Light a candle Close the door Silence the voices making you wrong Lift up the veil and see in yourself The truth that’s been stirring inside this tale Oh, the truth that’s been stirring inside this tale Prechorus Go, go my friend Use your wings the best that you can Chorus Godspeed, my dear Godspeed, my dear There’s nothing left for me here Oh, there’s nothing left for me here V2 I’ve been on this road many times before Some days I think I won’t let it go But freedom means more than this circling around Blessing the stuff that’s been dragging me down Oh, blessing the stuff that’s been dragging me down Prechorus Go, go my friend You know this love is everything Chorus Solo V3 Peel off the film A layer each day ‘Til the last of the drama has faded away Oh, the last of the drama has faded away The last of the drama has faded away
