Living our lives like a race Going through motions, keeping pace Needing purpose, needing grace And a refuge, a hiding place for Things on the surface, they all pass away For time unforgiving will not wait For time unsurpassed holds our fate Pledging our lives without qualm Loving out loud, open arms Finding purpose through service Giving refuge in a storm for Things on the surface they all pass away For time unforgiving will not wait For time greets us all with our fate Passing of time can be a cloud moving in With an ever rolling tide Lives wash away but lingering Are memories by our side Keep living life at a pace Where every moment offers grace After all, when it’s over Simple truths we have to face that Things on the surface they all pass away For things on the surface they all pass away Have hope for tomorrow, but live today Things eternal endure always

A smiling face is an Earth-like star A frown can't bring out the beauty that you are Love within, and you'll begin smiling There are brighter days ahead (for you) Don't mess your face up with bitter tears 'Cause life is gonna be what it is It's okay, please don't delay from smiling There are brighter days ahead Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum A smiling face you don't have to see 'Cause it's as joyful as you’ll always be Love within, you'll begin smiling There are brighter days ahead (come back) Love's not competing; it's on your side You're in life's picture, so why must you cry? For a friend, please begin to smile, please There are brighter days ahead Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum (Please smile for me) Smile Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum (You’ll smile for me) Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum Smile Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti Bum, bum bum ditti bum

When you're down and they're counting When your secrets, all found out When your troubles, take to mounting When the map you have, leads you to doubt When there's no more information and the compass turns To nowhere that you know well Just let your soul, be your pilot Let your soul guide you He will guide you well And when the doctors fail to heal you And when no medicine chest, can make you well When no counsel, leads to comfort When there are no more lies, no more lies they can tell When no more useless, useless, information and the compass spins The compass spins between Heaven and Hell An' your eyes turn toward the window pane To the lights upon the hill The distance seems so strange to you now And the dark room seems so still Let your pain, be my sorrow (Let your pain, be my sorrow) Let your tears, be my tears too Let your courage, be my model (oooohh be my model, yeah) That the north you'll find, will always be true (oh-oh) When there's no more information (no more information) And the compass turns To nowhere, that you know well Just let your soul, be your pilot (Let it be your pilot) Let your soul guide you Along the way (along the way, yeah) Oh along, along the way (Let your soul be guided, along the way) Let your soul guide you Let your pain be my sorrow and let your tears be my tears too (be my tears too) Let your courage, yeah, be my model, be my model (courage be my model) That the north you'll find, the north you'll find The north you'll find, north you'll find, be true Let your soul guide you Let your soul guide you Oh let your soul guide you, yeah Let your soul guide you Let him guide your steps, oh yeah

about

The first song on guitarist/composer Dan Wilson’s Things Eternal opens with a recorded voicemail from the late organist, personal mentor and dear friend Joey DeFrancesco, serving as a tribute, guiding light and mission statement. Throughout a curated selection of 12 songs, Wilson gathers hope and inspiration from ancestral wisdom, dedicated to the enduring quality of the human spirit. From unique takes on classics from The Beatles, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Michael Brecker, Freddie Hubbard and McCoy Tyner to original compositions, Wilson has crafted an impeccable statement for the world to take notice.
