The document is a song lyric that tells a story in 3 verses: 1) The singer is walking home toward a place they've never seen, feeling like they are changing and becoming less asleep. 2) The singer has been sitting with their friend for hours while their friend tries to decipher the singer like a code or locked room. The singer feels like a mystery to decipher. 3) The singer and friend feel a gravitational pull calling them home, having seen the stars colliding as a sign that they belong together. The friend can see clearly while the singer's vision is blurred but they know what they've heard echoing around them.

1. Shadowfeet Deciphering Me
Am7 D G C G/B Am7 G C
Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet Friend, it's getting late, we should be going
D G C Am7 G D C
Toward home, a land that I've never seen We have sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours.
D G C G/B Am7 G C
I am changing: Less and less asleep While I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me
D G C G/B Em D Am
Made of different stuff than when I began For I am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower.
F G D
And I have sensed it all along C G D Am
Am D Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Fast approaching is the day C G D Am
Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show,
C G D C
When the world has fallen out from under me We belong.
C G D G
I'll be found in you, still standing We belong.
C G B7
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees G C
C Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
When time and space are through G
G D My vision is blurred but I know what I herd
I'll be found in you C
Echoing all around.
G C
Am7 D G C G/B Am7 Well I am tuning you in and you are deciphering me.
There’s distraction buzzing in my head Em D Am
D G C G/B Am7 Not such a mystery, not such a faint and far away sound.
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
D G C G/B Am7 C G D Am
But I've heard rumours of true reality Oh can you feel the gravity falling? Calling us home?
D C C G D Am
Whispers of a well-lit way Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show,
C
C G D We belong.
You make all things new Am
We belong.
C G D
When the world has fallen out from under me Am Em
C G D Its love, its love that holds us
I'll be found in you, still standing G D
C G B7 We will be alright
Every fear and accusation under my feet Am Em
C Its truth, its truth that shows us
When time and space are through G D
G D As we walk in this life.
I'll be found in you
Am Em
Its love, its love that holds us
G D
We will be alright
Am Em
Its truth, its truth that shows us
G D
As we walk in this life.

2. Love Is Waiting Albertine
G Em7 C2 Capo 3, Intro Am C Am
C
G Em7 C2 I am sitting still
In the autumn on the ground Am
G Em7 C2 I think of Angelique
Between the traffic and the ordinary sounds F
G Em7 C2 Her mother's voice over me
I am thinking signs and seasons Am
G Em7 C2 And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
While a north wind blows through C
G Em7 C2 And on a thousandth hill
I watch as lovers pass me by Am
G Em7 C2 I think of Albertine
Walking stories, who’s and how’s and why’s F
G Em7 C2 There in her eyes what I don't see
Musing lazily on love, pondering you Am
With my own.
Am7 F
Let’s give it time, give it space Rwanda
D C
And be still for a spell Now that I have seen
Am7 G Dm7
When it’s time to walk that way I am responsible
C2 D F
We wanna walk it well Faith without deeds is dead
C
G Em7 C2 Now that I have held you
I’ll be waiting for you baby G Dm7
G Em7 C2 In my own arms
I’ll be holding back the darkest night Am
G Em7 C2 I cannot let go 'til you are
Love is waiting ‘til we’re ready Am C Am
G Em7
‘Til it’s right C
C2 And I am on a plane
Love is waiting Am
Across a distant sea
G Em7 C2 F
It’s my caution not the cold But I carry you in me
G Em7 C2
There’s no other hand that I would rather hold In the dust on, the dust on
G Em7 C2 Am
The climate changes, I’m singing for strangers about you The dust on my feet
Am C Am
Am7
Don’t keep time, slow the pace C Am
D I will tell the world
Honey hold on if you can F C
Am7 I will tell them where I've been
The bets are getting surer now Am
C2 D I will keep my word
That you’re my man F C
I will tell them Albertine
Am7 Em D G Am C Am
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
Am7 Em D G C
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again And I am on a stage
Am7 Em Am
And like I can’t force the sun to rise A thousand eyes on me
D G F
Or hasten summer’s start I will tell them, Albertine
F C D Am
Neither should I rush my way into your heart I will tell them, Albertine

3. C.S. Lewis Song Am C G
I will sigh and with all creation groan
Am C G Dm Am C G Dm Dm Am C G Dm
Ah............................. Ah................... If I as I wait for hope to come for me for me
Am C G Dm Am C G Dm
Dm F G Am Em7 F G Asus2 For me........................................................
If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy Am C G Dm Am C G Dm
F G Am Em7 F Ah............................. Ah...........................
I can only conclude that I, I was not made for here
F G Am Em7 F G Am
Faithful
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary
F G Am Em7 F G Am
G C
Then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm
There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
compared
D Am
I wave my arms 'round about me and blow with all my might
Am C G
G C
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
Dm Am C G Dm
D Am Csus4 C
Mercy comes with the morning
But the comfort of you near is what I long for
Am C G
I will sigh and with all creation groan
G C Am D
Dm Am C G Dm
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
as I wait for hope to come for me
G C Am D
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray
F G
Em C D G
Am I lost or just less found?
And I want you more than I want to live another day
Am Em7 F G Am
Am C G C Am D
On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful
F G
Is this a soul that stirs in me?
G C
Am Em7 F G Am
All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
Is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
D Am
I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
Dm F Am9
G C
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
So I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue,
Dm F C G
D Am
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
Knowing you're the only one who knows me
C
Am C G
You know me
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Dm Am C G Dm
Bm C Dsus4 D
Mercy comes with the morning
Show me how I should live this
Am C G
Bm C Dsus4 D
I will sigh and with all creation groan
Show me where I should walk

Bm C Dsus4 D
as I wait for hope to come for me
I count this world as loss to me
Am
C Am
You are all I want
For we, we are not long here
C G C Am D
Dm G
You are all I want
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
C Am Dm G
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know
you
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope, He's coming
Am C G
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Dm Am C G Dm
Mercy comes with the morning

4. Hosea's Wife D
Leave all you were before
Em7 (or 9) Am
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me To believe is to begin
Am9
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech Em
Em7 Am9 We are more than dust
That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?" C
Em7 That means something
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go A
Am9 That means something
From hearts to wars to literature to radio Am Em
Em7 We are more than just
There's a question like a shame no one will show, C A

"What do I live for?" D B7

Using people like ladders and words like knives
C
If we've eyes to see C
Em If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear Em
D Am If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near D Am

Shed that shallow skin C

Come and live again Em
D Come and live again
Leave all you were before D

To believe is to begin Am
To believe is to begin
Em7
There is a truth in little corners of our lives Em D C
Am9 To believe is to begin
There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes Em D C
Em7 To believe is to begin
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby Em D C
Am9 To believe is to begin
What do I live for?

Using Bodies like money and truth like lies
