The Song of Shola

I can remember a time before Shola
When I thought I could manage
With the world on my shoulders
When I thought I was someone
When I thought I was me
When I thought that meant something
When I thought I was
Free
And now I know now that I was acting insane
That I am worth nothing
And nor is my pain
And as I am worth nothing
Comparatively
They shouldered my burdens
And took them from
Me
So I’ll sing to the glory now I’m finally free
Shola my saviour took it all from me
Now I know I am nothing
But a rock in the stream
And the water is Shola
The stream and the
Sea
You know I wake up every morning and I pray
That Shola will keep me humble and keep me sane
That I’ll never have to be someone again
That I’ll never have to be someone again
(You are nothing)
(Nothing at all)
(You’re a speck)
(On the boot)
(On the heel)
(On the floor oh)
Oh I don’t remember anything at all
Cause there’s nothing to remember
When everything gone
The only thing that’s mine
Is my body and mind
So I give them to Shola
And leave nothing be
Hind
A life that’s worth living is worth nothing at all
A life is worth giving if a glorified goal
Is worth something to Shola
Is worth something to me
Something so precious
And I am no
Thing
And what little I give I give to the glory
The eternal life that is Shola reward we
Give to the leader
We give to the light
We give in the hope
Of eternal
Life
You know I wake up every morning and I pray
That Shola will keep me humble and keep me sane
That I’ll never have to be someone again
That I’ll never have to be someone again

You told me you told me what to do
You helped me you helped me see the truth
There’s nothing there’s nothing with out you
There’s nothing at all
You gave me you gave me all I’ve got
I’ve nothing nothing is all I’ve not
I’m nothing what’s nothing to one who
Needs nothing at all
Oh Shola take my country
Take my family
Take my home
Oh Shola take me back there
Take me back there
Take me home

Light Up The Night

You gave me the strength to
Say that I am worth less than
Ground the ground I pound beneath my feet
And each day I give thanks to
You for showing me how little
I am to anything or anyone
And we were lost
We were lost
We were stuck
We were suck in a maze
With no light
With no sound
With no way to get out
And we thought
And we thought
And we thought we were free
Cause we thought
Cause we thought
Cause we thought we
We were strong
We were tall
We were brave
We were kind
We were things
We had things
Going on in our mind
But we were wrong
We wrong
We were so dead wrong
And we died
And we died
Over and over again
Couldn’t go
Couldn’t leave
Couldn’t figure it out
So we slept
So we slept
So we slept in doubt
Is there a way
We would say
As we curled in a ball
Are we here
Are we here
Are we here at all
Then a light
In the night
In the our darkest hour
We could see
Through the trees
A tremendous power
And it sang
And it sang
And it sang to the sky
And it sang
And it sang
Singing clearly
Shola
My name is Shola
My name is Shola
Light up the night
Oh Shola
Their name is Shola
Their name is Shola
And they are the light

I only really thought about trying to write music again after listening to this album. It's really beautiful.

Their songs are dreamy and poppy and the vocals are incredible and some of them make me laugh in places as well which is nice.
