The Christmas Shoes by Newsong

Well this isnt the usual kind of music i listen to... But its a great book, movie, and even better song.

It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautifulIf
Momma meets Jesus, tonight.
He counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searched his pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
He said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed the money down
I just had to help him outAnd I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love
as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

The Sound by Further Seems Forever

If I only had an ocean to compliment the sky
I'd pull it down and paint it for you and I'd never question why
Cause "red would mean you loved me"
And "blue would mean you cared"
But black my heart when left alone to cold and killing stairs
This is the burning of a dream
This is the burning of a dream
The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again
Feels like I'm waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Haman's noose tight round my neck but im saved
and for 100,000 memories been washed ashore
Be swept again by forever
And sailed away from you
Now the rain has ended
So the sun can shine through me
Only you could row my boat ashore
Only you could set my fears at rest
But until lack of sympathies regress
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting for your call
