Shine Down
Words & Music by Troy Stetina, Dennis Hirshauer, Mark Tremonti & Dan Lenegar
Missed chances, just can't make it right
Circumstances, always hung my life
Searching through the darkness
I'm tired of the sadness always
Could there be an answer waiting
To make this all worthwhile?
(Refrain)
If heaven shined down, could it take all my pain away
If heaven shined down, would it take all my doubts away
My love is on the brink of never
Just can't chase this cloud forever
Leaving all the ones that loved me
Crying out to God above me
I'm kneeling all alone
Lost within myself
Searching through the darkness
I'm tired of the emptyness always
Could there be an answer waiting
To make this all worthwhile?
(Refrain)
Could we say, when it's done
That we followed our hearts, just once
Could we say, when it's done
That we lived our lives, for us

Still Photo Day
Words & Music by Troy Stetina, Ed Shapanske & Dan Lenegar
I'm still under your spell
I remember your laughter so well
Sunlight through the trees, and the breeze in your hair
These photographs of you, they keep taking me there
(Refrain)
As I lift up my head
Can't drag myself out of bed
Dream of you melts away
A Still Photo Day...
It's been some time since you passed away
And I'm back again in the day to day
But I'm just treading water, keep my head above the waves
Until the undertow, comes to pull me away
(Refrain)
I'll be waiting here any time you need me
I'll be listening in
I hold a part of you that lives forever
Forever, you in me
You set me free
(Refrain)
As I look to the sky
And I'm still wondering why
Dream of you melts away
A Still Photo Day
I still remember the words you said
Or did I hear your voice in my head
You know that sometimes I think I can see
You here beside me
You're here beside me...

Higher Ground
Words & Music by Dan Lenegar, Troy Stetina & Ed Shapanske
You're always hiding from the view
Never look it in the face, oh no
You're afraid to believe in yourself
Afraid to make a mistake, yes you are
You hurry through the day on replay
As you watch your dreams fade away
You've gotta stop and look around
To find the path to Higher Ground
(Refrain)
If you live your life
Like you're gonna live forever
You're already dead today
You've gotta live every moment
Like there's no tomorrow
Remember every breath you take
Your problems won't solve themselves
While you wait for winds of change
Don't grow old with regret
Take the time to find your faith
Hurry through the day to be done on time
So you can watch your dreams pass you by
You have to stop and look around
To find the path to Higher Ground
(Refrain)
