Elizabeth's S&S Project: Elinor and Marianne's Songs

Behind the Scenes By Francesca Battistelli,
Elinor's Song

You may think,
I'm just fine,
How could anything ever be out of line?
I take my time,
To set the stage,
Make sure everything, is all in place.
And even though I've got the line rehearsed,
A picture only paints a thousand words.

(Chorus)



Things aren't always what they seem,
Your only seeing part of me,
There's so much more that's going on,
Behind the scenes.
I'm incomplete an I'm undone,
But I suppose like everyone,
There's so much more that's going on
Behind the scenes.

Sometimes I can't see anything,
Through the dark,
Surronding me,
And at times I'm unsure,
About the ground,
Beneath my feet,
If it's safe and sound,
When it's hard to find hope in the unseen,
I have peace in knowing it will find me.

(Chorus)

You may think,
I'm just fine,
How could anything
Ever be out of line?

(Chorus)




When Love Takes You In By Steven Curtis Chapman
Marianne's Song

I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream

(Chorus)

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in

(Chorus)

And somewhere while you’re sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you
And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever
cause this love to lose its hold

(Chorus)
