Light in the Dark

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Let it be

More than we’ve dared to see

A vision ever green

A harbour for the dream

 

Chorus

Our journey’s just begun

Birds flying high with us

Just in time for the summer sun

To pour from our hearts

A light in the dark

 

Dusk to night

The moon is our witness here

Breaking through

The cage of our fear

 

Chorus

Our journey’s just begun

Birds flying high with us

Just in time for the summer sun

To pour from our hearts

 

Let it come

Surrender to the change

The stars will show

The next step to take

 

Chorus

Our journey’s just begun

Birds flying high with us

Just in time for the summer sun

To pour from our hearts

A light in the dark

Life Through Death

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

When all is said

The need to know

The spinning wheel

Loosing control

The time has changed

From the life you led

So keep those ghosts

From your lover’s bed

Love will grow

From it’s own seed

When it calls

I will heed

Let it sink as deep as you fall

Courage take you through

The ancient wall

That kept you in

From the healing breath

Come to life through death

 

Chorus

Come to life through death

Through the water

And the fire we burn

More than common sense

Innocent return

 

Waited long by the banks of the sea

In her the song

You always longed to sing

Jump on in

I will catch your fall

We find within

The greatest love

 

Chorus

Come to life through death

Through the water

And the fire we burn

More than common sense

Innocent return

Forgiven

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

When all is said

The need to know

The spinning wheel

Loosing control

The time has changed

From the life you led

So keep those ghosts

From your lover’s bed

Love will grow

From it’s own seed

When it calls

I will heed

Let it sink as deep as you fall

Courage take you through

The ancient wall

That kept you in

From the healing breath

Come to life through death

 

Chorus

Come to life through death

Through the water

And the fire we burn

More than common sense

Innocent return

 

Waited long by the banks of the sea

In her the song

You always longed to sing

Jump on in

I will catch your fall

We find within

The greatest love

 

Chorus

Come to life through death

Through the water

And the fire we burn

More than common sense

Innocent return

Play

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

You and I

Two falling leaves

We change too much to hold on to things

Flying fast when your fires free

Yeah we sang so many sad songs

Goodbyes that last a life long

Learning to release

 

Chorus

There’s no time it takes to know me

Worry as you may

Every road leads to the same peace

Play and watch it fall away

 

Winter wind with your icy stay

I walk these streets of the memory

Feel her open up

Where the mask is cracked

The voice still whispers

For those who long to hear her

 

Chorus

There’s no time it takes to know me

Worry as you may

Every road leads to the same peace

Play and watch it fall

Play yeah it’s a play and I’m here to watch it all

Play and watch it fall away

Would You

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Would you mind  

If I sing you a love song

Though it seems that the hour grows dim

In the middle of all of our struggle

The flame within

My dear friend

Now your burden seems heavy

Would you mind if I lighten your load

All the good times and hard times were written

Long ago

 

Chorus

I see us rising higher than the mountains

I see us leave the past behind

Icy hearts that melt into waters

Love will take us with an open mind

 

So you know

That I always am with you

Though we’re dreaming real love never dies

I will share with you all I imagine

The story of our lives

 

Chorus

I see us rising higher than the mountains

I see us leave the past behind

Icy hearts that melt into waters

Love will take us with an open mind

 

Gracefully

Willingly

Courageously

Love will take us with an open mind

Break Away

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Gold in hand, pining me

Weep the ice is melting

Starry land, lost but free

Lone man, river running

 

All we’ve lost to seek relief

Nature hold my body

I once sought the highest things

When she clearly saw me

 

Chorus

Holy night

Spent in wonder

Stealing time from the day

Fear the spell

I was under

That kept my dreaming soul contained

And I will break away

 

Here lies the part of me

That never turned to see

All of the blessings life bestowed

Wrap your arms around

The pain that brought you down

And let compassion take you home

 

Chorus 

Holy night

Spent in wonder

Stealing time from the day

Fear the spell

I was under

That kept my dreaming soul contained

And I will break away

Keep Walking

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Here it is

The moment you’ve been waiting for

Can you see

The open door

Don’t hold back

The motion that comes with the tide             

Let it crack

The well that dried

His arms wide open

Could you hold him

Your heart’s been broken

It’s alright just keep walking

 

Chorus

Keep walking

For the sake of love

Keep walking

Keep walking

Into the light

It will find you

Will not blind you

It’s all you ever were

 

Shield not your heart

Let him share with you both good and bad

Tear not apart

What you add

His arms wide open

Could you hold him

Your heart’s been broken

It’s alright just keep walking

 

Chorus

Keep walking

For the sake of love

Keep walking

Keep walking

Into the light

It will find you

Will not blind you

It’s all you ever were

Into the light

The Height and the Depth

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

I have tried

Running from the pain

But the chill of her refrain

Sent me to my knees

Till I finally hear the pleas

“Still my child, be still”

 

Sulking ice

But water flows beneath

In the sway I grew

On the cold and open sea

In the cradle of the moon

 

Chorus

The height and the depth

The peak and the sea

One becomes less

Together we’re free

The well and the hand

That pulls me from grief

The pain and the joy

And the place where they meet

 

Like a shadow never seen

But it all that you sew

I finally start to see

The meaning of the road

Till the moment that the fall

Takes my very soul

 

 

Chorus

The height and the depth

The peak and the sea

One becomes less

Together we’re free

The well and the hand

That pulls me from grief

The pain and the joy

And the peace where they meet

Children of Zion

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Children of Zion

Head on home

Follow the star

You may call your own

Long before you knew

Heaven spoke of two

 

Chorus

Loveliness defines

The road that you’ve been given

Angel voices chime

Sing you to completion

This is your time

 

Voices of mercy

Call for retreat

There’ll be no more worries 

To throw you off your feet

Long before you knew

Heaven spoke of two

 

Chorus

Loveliness defines

The road that you’ve been given

Angel voices chime

Sing you to completion

This is your time

Dark Veil

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

Dark veil, cold rain

Fall down on my knees

Here my hearts pain flows free

Soft hands bring in

Fall – the place in me

A clear remembering of peace

 

Two within can hold

What one could never know

 

Warm breath, eyes change

Wash the smoke in me

Dawn cast shadows through the trees

Where I wander

Grey sky wanders, light will follow

Though tomorrow – never seen 

 

Older than the road

Joy released from stone

The Same Heart

 

Lyrics:

The Same Heart - Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerstrom

I never knew that love could come so quick 

Today you crossed the ocean in me
Sentiment it lingers on your lips
And a sense of sweet devotion quickly
Moves - on and on

What now remains old enough to feel the earth move
Common place to begin
and I know this love won't come again



Living you - the record
slowly spins
Winter nights grown long with us two
The holy note she sang
that opened up my wings
and led my vision to begin
Here I'm told that this
Love will grow

What now remains old enough to feel the earth move
Common place to begin
and I know this love has come
I know this love,
Will now remain
Old enough to feel the earth move
Common grace ~ we are art
And I know we sing
with the same heart
