"Resolve"

Something that I felt today, something that I heard
Swingin' from the chandeliers, hanging on your word
I remember watchin' you once upon a time
Dancing from across the room in another life
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
Lookin' back to find my way, never seemed so hard
Yesterday's been laid to rest, changing of the guard
I would never change a thing even if I could
All the songs we used to sing, everything was good
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you
One more tear that you won't hear
That's gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by
A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by

Resolve
by Kris

Father Father
I am yours today and every day
I give you my soul
my praise
my desire to live to the full
i will move on
each time
teh words
dry in my mouth
everytime
my eyes are knee deep in black water
i will move on
no exceptions
no free rides
all is sanctified
in Your name
I resolve
I resolve tonight
