Sun Stands Still (All Or Nothing)
Words And Music By: James Vincent Carroll

She was running from it all when she found him.
He was holding up the bar with his friends.
Little hippie chick from the mountains.
Country boy with time on his hands.

He was looking for a love to hold onto.
She told him that she wasn’t the one.
Back then she didn’t know he’d be her forever home
and together they’d run...

Chorus:

While the sun stands still and every prayer is heard,
Until the rocks are moved and the water is calm,
And every red mistake is white as snow.
Until the work is over and the day is done
And every orphaned child is not alone
It’s all or nothing while the sun stands still.

Time will bring it’s share of bad weather
They learned to be familiar with change
Even when the darkness fell on them
Light and laughter shined the way

This family they created together is larger than the house where they live
Life, it isn’t safe with these messes we embrace
so we keep running again…

Chorus:

While the sun stands still and every prayer is heard,
Until the rocks are moved and the water is calm,
And every red mistake is white as snow.
Until the work is over and the day is done
And every orphaned child is not alone
It’s all or nothing while the sun stands still.
