Someday...Nicole Nordeman

"I believe in the rest of the story. I believe there's still ink in the pen. I have wasted my very last day trying to change what happened way back when. I believe it's the human condition. We all need to have answers to why. More than ever, I'm ready to say that I will still sleep peacefully with answers out of reach from me.

"Until someday all that's crazy, all that's unexplained, will fall into place. And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass will be clear at last. And sometimes we're just waiting for someday.

"We are born with a lingering hunger. We are born to be unsatisfied. We are strangers who can't help but wander and dream about the other side of...Every puzzle's missing piece, every unsolved mystery. More than half of every whole rests in the Hands that hold you for someday.

"Someday all that's crazy, all that's unexplained, will be beautiful, beautiful. And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass will be clear at last. 'Cause sometimes we're just waiting for someday."

We Build by Nicole Nordeman

"It's bigger than we thought; it's taller than it ought to be, this pile of rubble and ruins. The neighbors must talk. It's the worst yard on the block. Just branches and boards where walls stood. Did it seem to you like the storm just knew we weren't quite finished with the roof when it started?

"So we build...we build. We clear away what was and make room for what will be. If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer. I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder.

If you will, I will build.

"On any given day we could simply walk away and let someone else hold the pieces. The lie that we tell says it's better somewhere else. As if love flies south when it freezes. What I'm trying to say, in some clumsy way, is that it's you and only you, for always.

"That's why we build...we build. We clear away what was and make room for what will be. If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer. I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder.

If you will, then I will build.

"What I'm trying to say, in some clumsy way is that it's you and only you, not just for now, not just today. But it's you and only you for always. If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer. I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder. If you will, then I will build."
