Falcon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm

To all the beginnings and places I've been
And all of the strangers I now call my friends
Slow moving mornings and magical nights
And the birds that keep telling me I'll be alright

I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh

To the skies filled with glory and the days of defeat
For the treasure I've found in both doubt and belief
All of the colors the greys and the green
To the heartches thet brings us all back to our knees

I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh

I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh
I'm grateful
Ohh-ohh-oh

To my Mother and her courage to set herself free
For my Father who's patience taught me how to breathe




For all of the seasons, the winter and spring
Thank God they all show us how brave we can be

The Lord used you Amanda Lindsey Cook through your music and the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my life to help me heal from my Dad's passing last year.I'd come home from work and just lay in bed and llsten to the soothing sound of your voice. I'm 54 years old and have listened to well over a thousand singers from many different genres being a musician myself, and working in a music venue, Not to leave out as an assistant to music promoters .Through working in the music business I've met most of the musicians I grew up listening to, so I'm not star struck by any means possible. Thanks for having the courage to speak out about your personal life and sharing this beautiful new album . "Grateful" bought me to tears and I constantly pray for you along with all my family and friends for complete healing in your life. May God bless and protect both you and all your loved ones through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen. And stay strong in the Lord! Your presence in this this world makes it a much better and bearable place. Love in Christ, Daniel

I’m grateful to be able to say “grateful . It’s amazing wear one word takes a person . Kind of like ten minutes ago when I was having a huge poor me party . But then there’s the word Grateful , and snatched me right outta that party and I landed me quite comfortably on Grateful . Off goes my mind to ruminate how God has made it all possible . “Footprints” eh ! Cheers to another well done story as it were .

HOW is this album still so undiscovered

Ya! Grauff

The design of salvation (to cut down unbelief): mercy; grace; faith and sanctification, through righteousness; rest in Him and an ever building joy overwhelming unto the eternal measures unfolding us in Him and Him in us forever through the lovingkindness of God; from Father, Son and Holy Spirit. ...Forget doubt: as Bruce Cockburn said in a song years ago, "Leave it (doubt) to the one' s whom think it all ends here."
