"Your Eyes"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
I tried so hard to gain their sympathy
Their glance it made, it made me so afraid
All their respect and love to guide my ways
Measured and weighed, and I’ve become unmade
Your eyes are all I see
Your eyes are all I need
Your eyes see me free
Your eyes watch over me
What value is there in their stare?
For their love, I no longer care
I’ve grown restless living as their slave
For my mind rests upon their gaze
Your eyes are all I see
Your eyes are all I need
Your eyes see me free
Your eyes watch over me
Watch over me
Your eyes are all I see
Your eyes are all I need
Your eyes see me free
Your eyes watch over me
Your eyes are all I see
Your eyes are all I need
Your eyes see me free
Your eyes watch over me

"Setting Sail"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
The wind is blowing out upon the sea
It stops for no one; it’s moving strong and free
So I’m setting sail
I’m gonna let it carry me
The waves are coming to try to take me down
Few have survived them, many more have drowned
But I’m setting sail
Where new life can be found
Hope is arising out beyond the known
It smooths the voyage and guides me safely home
So I’m setting sail
And I pray I’m not alone
So we’re setting sail
And we pray we’re not alone

"Toward the Sea"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
With an old pair of shoes you went walking
One step after the next
Weary and worn, feet just wandering
Hoping and longing for rest
But even here in this, my dear
Is where you’ll find your peace
The sand may seem a desert but your heart is still a stream
So keep on walking toward the sea
You feel as there’s no one to guide you
No clear sight of the path
Tired and torn but determined
To step forward and not look back
But even here in this, my dear
Is where you’ll find your peace
The sand may seem a desert but your heart is still a stream
So keep on walking toward the sea
But even now when all seems lost
You will find your way
But even here in this, my dear
Is where you’ll find your peace
The sand may seem a desert but your heart is still a stream
So keep on walking toward the sea
So keep on walking toward the sea
Keep on walking toward me

"40 Miles"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
It’s been about 14 miles since I last turned around
It’s been equally long since anyone’s heard the sound
Of my voice
And my one and only choice
Was to run away and be free
It’s been about 18 miles since I last turned around
It’ll be any minute now that she will have found
My note
And my one and only hope
Is that the one whom I love would follow me
Follow me (follow me), follow me (follow me)
I can’t seem to turn my heart of stone
Now I’m free from what you say
‘Cause I’m goin’ my own way
But freedom ain’t so free when you’re alone
It’s been about 20 miles since I last saw her face
It’s been much, much longer that I last thought of grace
But just know
That the further on I go
I learn a little more what it’s like to be free
It’s been about 30 miles since I found this road
And I can’t turn around now ‘cause I’m stubborn as stone
But I’m scared
And my one and only prayer
Is that the one whom I love would follow me
Follow me (follow me), follow me (follow me)
I can’t seem to turn my heart of stone
Now I’m free from what you say
‘Cause I’m goin’ my own way
But freedom ain’t so free when you’re alone
Follow me (follow me), follow me (follow me)
I can’t seem to turn my heart of stone
Now I’m free from what you say
‘Cause I’m goin’ my own way
But freedom ain’t so free when you’re alone
Now I’m free from what you say
‘Cause I’m goin’ my own way
But freedom ain’t so free when you’re alone
It’s been about 40 miles since I last turned around
It’s been equally long since anyone could hear the sound
When my heart breaks
But with every step I take
I learn a little more just where I belong
I wish the one whom I love had come along
I thought that this would set me free, but I was wrong

"Was It Not Enough?"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
Woe to the shepherd
Who cares for himself
His comfort and wealth before his sheep
Before his sheep
The lion and the leopard
Are robbing them blind
And soon they will dine on his sheep
On his sheep
Was it not enough to eat from green pastures?
But you ran all around
And trampled ‘em down with your feet
Whoa, with your feet
Woe to the vulture
You prey on the weak
The ones who would seek your help
Seek your help
Should be a protector
You sooth your sheep with your harp
While you secretly sharpen your teeth
Sharpen your teeth
Was it not enough to eat from green pastures?
But you ran all around
And trampled ‘em down with your feet
Whoa, with your feet
Was it not enough to drink the clear water?
But you filled it with blood
And turned it to mud with your feet
Whoa, with your feet
Will you ever surrender?
Will you heed to the call?
Will you let yourself fall to your knees?
To your knees
For I’ll bring a new Shepherd
Who throws feasts for the poor
And lifts the thieves and the whores back to their feet
Back to their feet
Was it not enough to eat from green pastures?
But you ran all around
And trampled ‘em down with your feet
Whoa, with your feet
Was it not enough to drink the clear water?
But you filled it with blood
And turned it to mud with your feet
Whoa, with your feet
Was it not enough to rest in my arms?
But you ran away
And wandered astray with your feet
Whoa, with your feet

"Thoughts After a Meteor Shower"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
I saw you in the sky last night
As usual you shined so bright
You told me that you loved me and I said I love you, too
Though I don’t love quite as wonderfully as you
I saw you in the sky with just a glance
I heard you in the music so I danced
And flowing like a river, you danced just like you do
Though I don’t dance near as gracefully as you
And it’s love that keeps us turning
Joy that keeps us burning
Pain that keeps us learning
That you are what we’re for
Love that keeps on trying
Joy that’s never dying
Pain that keeps us crying
For what you have in store
I feel I am filled with such might
You shake your head and smile with delight
Like a child who thinks he’s flying when his daddy holds him high
Though without him he can’t really fly
And it’s love that keeps us turning
Joy that keeps us burning
Pain that keeps us learning
That you are what we’re for
Love that keeps on trying
Joy that’s never dying
Pain that keeps us crying
For what you have in store
I’d say you’re filled with love
But that’s still not all true
For you’re not filled with love
But love is filled with you
I’d say you’re filled with love
But that’s still not all true
For you’re not filled with love
But love is filled with you
And it’s love that keeps us turning
Joy that keeps us burning
Faith that keeps us learning
That you are what we’re for
Love that keeps on trying
Joy that’s never dying
Faith that keeps us crying
For what you have in store

"Home Will Be"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
You were standing at the edge, ready to jump in
And I can’t tell you, since, how nice the water’s been
I see you and you see me, and still you’re jumping in
And I welcomed you to the water with a grin
So baby stay in
But if you must go, please go
I won’t hold you back
We’re taking it, oh, so slow
And I’m just fine with that
But babe, please know
That I’m hoping for a day
When we no longer say
Call me when you’re home and safe from harm
‘Cause home will be right here in your arms
They say home is where the heart is, and baby if that’s true
Then I’m far from home each time I’m far from you
You said I’m just what you wanted, that I’m too good to be true
And babe I said the same thing about you
So baby stay true
But if you must go, please go
I won’t hold you back
We’re taking it, oh, so slow
And I’m just fine with that
But babe, please know
That I’m hoping for a day
When we no longer say
Call me when you’re home and safe from harm
‘Cause home will be right here in your arms
When you dream, please remember me just a little in your dreams
Think of me when you see the moon and it makes you wanna sing
Baby please sing
But if you must go, please go
I won’t hold you back
We’re taking it, oh, so slow
And I like it just like that
But babe, please know
That I’m hoping for a day
When we no longer say
Call me when you’re home and safe from harm
‘Cause home will be right here in your arms

"Nature’s Lullaby"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
Blue bird sits outside my window
Calling to the sky
Baby’s chirpin’, Mama’s coming
To sing her lullaby
The wind is blowing, the leaves are glowing
As the trees reach toward the sky
Shadows dancing on a sunlit stage
And the clouds are passing me by
The sun lights my way
As it falls down from the sky
It reminds me that love will find me
In nature’s lullaby
I know comfort, I know rest
For I know love is near
In the valley of the shadow of death
Love has chased away my fear
The sun lights my way
As it falls down from the sky
It reminds me that love will find me
In nature’s lullaby
The sun lights my way
As it falls down from the sky
It reminds me that love will find me
In nature’s lullaby
It reminds me that love will find me
In nature’s lullaby
In nature’s lullaby

"What Do You See?"
Words and music by Benjamin & Chelsea Peck (BMI)
What do you see? Tell me, what do you see?
The dreams that have died or the hopes yet to be?
Someone who’s loved and lost or someone who's learned patiently?
What do you see in sickness?
What do you see in health?
What do you see when you look at yourself?
‘Cause I see a will to rise again from every fall
I see a soul that’s filled with awe at the wonder of it all
I see a little heaven there wherever you are
And it’s not that far; it’s not that far
Who will you be? Tell me, who will you be?
A prisoner of circumstance or a soul that’s free?
A coward with closed eyes or a fighter with the courage to see?
Who will you be in poverty?
Who will you be in wealth?
Who will you be when you’re being yourself?
‘Cause I see a will to rise again from every fall
I see a soul that’s filled with awe at the wonder of it all
I see a little heaven there wherever you are
And it’s not that far; it’s not that far
I see a will to rise again from every fall
And it’s not that far; it’s not that far
It’s not that far; it’s not that far
