Watch it all unfold before your eyes Stories of the broken hearts we hide Convincing smiles are telling me lies It’s like I’m living someone else’s life My mind screams and shouts, I’m freaking out Take me somewhere real Lost in the sound, lost and found Find me somewhere beautiful You tell me how to live and who to be But sweet words can’t give me what I need You hold me close just to hold me down Don’t push me deep enough to drown My mind screams and shouts, I’m freaking out Take me somewhere real Lost in the sound, lost and found Find me somewhere here My mind screams and shouts, I’m freaking out Take me somewhere real Lost in the sound, lost and found Find me somewhere beautiful

Why do you feel so lost? Why are you feeling all alone now? The sun doesn’t always shine But darkness will always turn into the day Why do you look so down? Where is the smile you used to have? Don’t give up hope just now It’s darkest just before the sun comes out Why do you feel so lost? Why are you feeling all alone now? The sun doesn’t always shine But darkness will always turn into the day You’re not on your own Look beyond the clouds, through the rain To the sun Hope will find you here Knowing it’s not over you’re not over You’ve got life on your side Why do you feel so lost? Why are you feeling all alone now? The sun doesn’t always shine But darkness will always turn into the day You’re not on your own Look beyond the clouds, through the rain To the sun Hope will find you here Knowing it’s not over you’re not over You’ve got life on your side

Speak To Me 04:30
Oceans tremble at your voice The same voice that speaks Softly to me Who am I to deserve Your beautiful grace Without restraint I know I know you’re not always on my mind But what I wouldn’t do just to hear you Speak to me show me The mysteries of your heart I’ll never be close enough To you When I’m in your embrace My world falls away You’re all I see I stand strong in your favor And everlasting grace Falling freely

Is this everything you want? Is he everything you need? Are you everything you wanted to be? You’ve got all your silly friends You’ve got the car, the stuff, the man Are you everything you wanted to be? Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl you’ve got the world Wrapped around your tiny fingers Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl you’ve got the world Wrapped around your tiny fingers When you look outside Can you love the ugly? Can you look without a judging stare? When you look in a mirror Are you pleased with what you see? Can you see the beauty underneath your skin? Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl you’ve got the world Wrapped around your tiny fingers Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl you’ve got the world Wrapped around your tiny fingers Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl you are the world Everything we think and say and do Lady in the yellow dress You’re just a girl, you are the world Everything we think and say and do

Let’s go into the unknown Let’s find a place where we can fly Let go of all that held us back Take me away tonight I find myself alone and scared Without you by my side Don’t ever leave me here alone Take me away tonight Together we’ll do anything Adventure through the night I’ll take you to this place I know If you teach my how to fly Forget all of our past mistakes Forget the tears we cried Let love light our way home And give us wings to fly Let’s go into the unknown Let’s find a place where we can fly Let go of all that held us back Take me away tonight

Who’s to know what goes on far beyond the stars Who’s to know what goes on in my heart Who’s to know what goes on underneath it all Who’s to know what went wrong, what went wrong The pieces used to fit just the way I liked I had it all together until life put up a fight Somewhere along the way sunny skies gave way To broken hearts and breaking parts and many shades of grey Drifting all around lost but somehow found Who’s to know if this is right and who’s to know what’s wrong Girl, you’ll be okay you don’t have to know your way You’re alive somehow this is here and now don’t let it get away Who’s to know what goes on far beyond the stars Who’s to know what goes on in my heart Who’s to know what goes on underneath it all Who’s to know what went wrong, what went wrong

I drove through the night Just to find daylight Just to find some light to guide me home They say home’s where the heart is But my heart’s not here I left my heart there on the west coast So drive safe champions Through the night into daylight Every tiny town brings us closer to The place where you belong So drive safe champions Through the mountains to the sea Unearth your heart that’s buried deep In the sand on the beach In the sand on the beach

The Drive 03:55
I’ll go for a drive I’m not going home It’s the only time I can be alone I’ll stay for a while out on this road Maybe in time I’ll hear your song Find me here please find me here Show me mysteries teach me everything I need, I need to know you Take my hand please take my hand Guide me when I don’t know which way to go I need, I need to hear you I see the light of the moon it illuminates Every passing mile as the city fades Stars in the sky can’t show me the way It’s only when I hear the words that you say Find me here please find me here Show me mysteries teach me everything I need, I need to know you Take my hand please take my hand Guide me when I don’t know which way to go I need, I need to hear you

Psalm 121 14:04
I lift my eyes to the hills Where does my help come from My help comes from the Lord Maker of heaven and earth The Lord watches over you He’s your shade at your right hand The sun will not harm you by day Nor the moon by night He will not let your foot slip He who watches over you will not slumber He who watches over Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep The Lord watches over you He’s your shade at your right hand The sun will not harm you by day Nor the moon by night The Lord will keep you from harm He’ll watch over your life The Lord will watch over your coming and going Both now and forevermore I lift my eyes to the hills Where does my help come from

about

Lauren Mann Pender Island, British Columbia

Memory & Desire was born out of uncertainty, and came from epiphanies of hope between the questions. Recorded at Lauren’s home in the Gulf Islands, it is an intimate marker of the passage of time, holding space between who she was and who she will be. With deeper honesty and a renewed effervescence, Lauren Mann is taking herself and her music back to her roots and creating authentic art. ... more
