A Better Me
do you and I have time to spare
to wonder why and is it fair
who is it that makes me frown
I'm inside out and upside down
I say we can
I say we can, but we might not be
a better man, a better me
what was it you used to say
better shut your mouth and look away
I've been thinking about yesterday
I'm still thinking about yesterday
Inside
it creeps and bites
my thoughts and head
my patience dead
and low
it grows and hold me
loves to hate me
so irate I...
I say we can
I say we can - but we might not be
a better man, a better me
All Pretty for the TV
I see the wealthy guy
The world in his eyes
He need not contain no pain or shame
"And never will," I cry
And I'm a dirty word
You know I'm so absurd
If I write things off as meaningless
So I'm never heard
Stare and no care into nowhere
Round and round pounds the sound inside
We never give it up
Well, I can never live up and the box won't shut up
Ground me out without a doubt
We never give it up
So I didn't need a book
to get the certain look now
Well, I just tune it in
So this is what it means to live
And I am really free
Cause you and me are we and how
We always fit right in
So this is what it means to live
And now I'm turning blue
Without a thing to do
Cause I'm wrapped, enthralled and my brain it stalls
I can't think it thru
Give me a second chance
I'll learn your happy dance
Cause I want to be in, forget the sin
You'd think I'm in a trance
Have you got ears to hear
And would you draw so near
Cause it's got things to say and us to change
You know you needn't fear
So make your senses soft
And never turn it off
Just step inside and join the ride
Here's our real God.
A Month Of Moments
It swept me in and tossed me out, I fear
And the consequence is clear
Listen to the heartbreak, my dear
And now I sit alone
I count the words in me
“If you could only see
Sometimes choice is crippling
Abide in Me”
Am I full of pride or lost inside?
When I stand alone I am alone
(And I) have not the strength to break this shame
(And why) if I hate the sin and let it in
Do I see His arms are open wide
It’s deafening to hear the ring of sin
And the waves are crashing in
Will I ever, ever win?
So take me home
I find these words in me
“If you would only see
The choice could make you free
Abide in Me”
Am I full of pride or lost inside?
When I stand alone I am alone
(And I) have not the strength to break this shame
(And why) if I hate the sin and let it in
Do I see His arms are open wide
And the moment was or the moment is
(Help me stand in the present time)
And the moment was or the moment is
(Help me stand in the present time)

I got my rifle toy

A Snowfallen Desert
you
in this world
are so strong
little girl
look beyond
the dimming lights
keep this song
and know it's right
crash down
in this town
deadness rings knows the frown
second nature, second thoughts
hold the key with love that's not
so you shiver
and it's cold
like the world
as you were told
and you love
and you hear
but do you listen
is He near
there are reasons there are signs
no need to read between the lines
fill the heavens with your tears
and your cries oh yes He's near
where are you going
tell me what do you find
well i can tell you
it's just a waste of time
and if you don't mind,
and if it's all the same to you my friend
i won't play this game
still you run
Bartholomew Higgins
if you want to see what i am saying
focus then, on our decision
blindness, greed, and empty feelings
they're all ours and where are we now
if you wanna see just listen
to the light i can see glistening
again and again to war for our freedom
i haven't got my peace of mind
i tell you this and you tell me
to come inside it's warm and nice
Bittersweet
as sweet as it was
or as sweet as it seemed
like the most magnificent wonder
that was just a dream
and it shook me all up
and it stirred me around
but it left me cold and wanting
cause it had no ground
oh, none to be found
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(know why i sell my Savior small)
but it won't make me cry
make me cry tonite
the beauty was such
and immeasurably so
my eyes were alive and bright
to the blinding glow
and as i embraced
to love it more
i shivered and fell like a leaf
to the forest floor
where i was before
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(i sell my Savior small)
but it won't make me cry
but it won't make me cry
(why do we stand there?)
in constant fear
almost near
as if my only thought
and my only breath
i gave and i gave and i gave
till i'd nothing left
except consequence
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(know why i sell my Savior small)
have i run to Christ?
have i?
(why do we stand there)
in constant fear
almost near
(why do we stand there?
without a care
though so aware
Bliss Is
raised to be rich
trip or be tripped
give to get, live to get
throw a fit
give to get, live to get
what is it?
you're gonna have to wait
my family can't relate
on the floor, out the door
clean the slate
on the floor, out the door
in this hate
and this is how
i'll let it go
Savior saves me
from what i know
(oh, what do i know?)
pushed ahead in this
society angry bliss
disregard life is hard
give a kiss
disregard life is hard
cut my wrist
did i never care?
silence at the dinner chair
hish up now, hear us now
sit and store
hush up now, hear us now
was it fair?
and this is how
i'll let it go
Savior saves me
from what i know
(save me from what i know)
Bones are Breaking
is it daybread? i'm sure
and you're feeling weary
there is so much, i know
it's just got to end soon
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
are you worn out?i'm sure
not happy nearly
too far in such to know
you just have to break soon
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
so i
give all
to you
my God
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking
Cannon-Fire Orange
sailing away
towards uncertainties
uncertain seas
change today
traveled to that land
took it all second hand
i fought for cover
then i ran, ran, ran
found a love colored me whole
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange
does the flower drown
in the winter swon
or go away
never again to show
can it be found
below the frail ground
when we look away
is it around
for now i see what needs to be
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange
i'm counting the days
to discover the ways
how the fire turns cold
like i've been told
the flame burns the tree
i don't know what to be
'someone' holding the match
'someone' is me
so i cannot stand
without the help of His hand
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange
Center of Your Ways
These wonderful words
Are not magical
Oh so spiritual
And indivisible
I get so confused
When I see you
And the center of your ways
Just the center of your ways
I can't see you
I can't see you
My life is going up up
Oh to climb the walls these days
It's love - it's God
And I'm in it all
Who is your lord?
What's on your hands?
It's not the Blood of Christ
But the happiness of man
I can't see you
I can't see you
Paper-thin faith in nothing
Yet a chance to have it all
Please don't run away
When His love is so tall
You keep a cross around you
The new symbol, new style
Just stop for one moment
Think of this awhile
I can't see you
I can't see you
Chance for the Chancers
everything's gonna be okay
He's gonna wipe those fears away
and before the night is thru
this is all going to make sense to you
but you won't herar these words
no you don't have the time
that would be a crime
right now, right away
before it gets to cold
and I know how it kills
and I know how it makes you ill
but you won't hear these words
no you don't have the time
that would be a crime
everythin's gonna be okay
He's gonna wipe those fears away
and before the night is thru
this is all going to make sense
Closing Down
goonight
sleep tight
the sun is set
and day is night
just you rest
it's all alright
but it's the same
day to day
why can't I
sleep this away
a headache
(keeps me awake)
my eyes are red
(from trusting to much in me)
I've got to pray
(I've got to give this up)
but will He hear me now?
goodnight
sleep tight
I wish I were
I wish I might
but it's the same
day to day
and I can't
sleep this way
a heartache
(keeps me awake)
is my brain dead?
(from trusting to much in me)
I have to say
(I've got to give this up)
He said He'd hear me now
Come to Me
Matthew 11:28-30
Complain
did you see my hands were tied?
i pierced this Savior's side
well, what have i done?
(what have we become?)
and more words to run it thru
to crush anything in You
and to trip it up
it's simple though i'm tired
been unmoved, uninspired
did you see my eyes were blind?
to even know what I had to find
much less count the cost
(or count me for lost)
insane for another day
so all is all right, okay
i trip it up
it's easy though i'm mad
weathered so and sad...
to see the lies in me
and why (i never try)
but i'll stand (displeased) so cheap
did you see my mouth wad closed?
of the priceless fill i know
not a word to say
(i spoke anyway)
well, i cried for an inside
an inside to realize
oh, how tripped up
it's different though, i'm strange
i'll never, never change...
to see the lies in me
and why (i never try)
but i'll stand (displeased) so cheap
did you see my head was dead?
to any right or good that's said
would i bow?
(could you learn it now?)
sick for a little hope
hope that's a choke and joke
Christ - trip me up
i really see i'm free
when You carry me...
to see the lies i believe
and why (i'd ever try)
and i can pray (so deep) received
Crowded
There are a million things
That want the best of me
Now my head is spinning
And back and forth I weave
It all looks the same to me
Is it good or bad?
But I read that the truth shall set me free
So make a sound in me
What I need to hear
Is muddled with uncertainty,
Mediocrity, and lack of sleep
There are a thousand things
That try to turn my head
And my blinking eyes
Are they easily led
It all feels the same to me
Is it good or bad?
It all feels the same to me
But I read that the free are free indeed
So make a sound in me
What I need to hear
Is muddled with uncertainty,
Mediocrity, and lack of sleep
So speak into my ear
What I want to hear
Is married to simplicity,
The King of Kings, and less of me
So come on down
I have much to, much to say
Be quiet now
And just you stay
So make a sound in me
What I need to hear
Is muddled with uncertainty,
Mediocrity, and lack of sleep
So speak into my ear
What I want to hear
Is married to simplicity,
The King of Kings, and less of me
Cruciality
Inside my selfish thinking
In the middle I'm always sinking
I am so far down I can't escape
But all around the trees are falling
Too much sunshine comes in
And so I wait another day
What is brightest in my life
And what will I receive (tomorrow)
If I'm Spirit filled will I be so content (so content with sorrow)
Crucial is my mind on Christ
So much He had to (He had to die)
Buildings empty, standing tall
Precious people breathe and fall
What will you have when all is thru?
Or maybe then I save the sea
For other people after me
Instead I am never living now
Turn my eyes and to the stars
Is there life so very far?
Or better is there any very near
It is this so understand me
Christ gave so we can be free
And will I wait another day
Is this love?
Is this life?
This world's already gone
This world needs the Son
But we have so many things to do?
And so enough of flower power
Step on ways that make us sour
We cannot wait another day.
Crushed
On top of the world
I am proud
In my heaven
A star in the sky
Shine so bright
Like the weather
I am sight and I am sound
They are lost and I am found
The well runs deep inside of me
Though I cannot sleep
I am crushed
And I am broken
With the words and with the truth He has spoken
Feet on the ground
Hand to the plow
I am going
A flash in the crowd
Know my name
I am chosen
I am light and I am loud
If you would don’t make a sound
The door opens wide to me
Though I cannot see, I…
I am crushed
And I am broken
With the words and with the truth He has spoken
I am crushed
And I am hoping
Grace could find this soul of mine and hold me
Digging Deep
so now hold your breath
and set the stage
prepare your self fot the cynic's rage
is it a question still of who is man?
or how they feel with what i am
but digging deep i found a way
what more do i need to say
gone thru life and death
and what remains
if any blemish hang your head in shame
like a fever that just keeps you down
would you simply let it stay around?
'digging deep' i guess i say
is more pridfulness of that day
in truth i know that it is clear
i was distant, God is near
in the goodness and strife
found an empty wanting life
though so long made no sound
with tears i bowed myself down
won't you greet this man
and hear his words
maybe an open ear would make him stir
could aclosed heart have saved a man?
digging deep i guess i say
is more pridfulness of that day
in truth i know that it is clear
i was distant, God is near
so now hold your breath and set the stage
prepare yourelf for the cynics rage
is it a question still of who is man?
or how they feel and what i am
Do I?
She might have been a princess
She might've been here with us
Or ride so high and far away
Is she sleeping safely?
Is her sky the same way?
Does she know now my own fear?
She might've seen the ocean
If I'd had the notion
To listen closely and obey
I don't know love - do I?
He might have had the stars in
In his eyes and within
He might've been my brother now
Jesus will you hold him?
Showing that you love him?
Careless I have been with words
He should not see the weather
His joy should last forever
Please give him reason to go on
Well is my treasure ever
Any good if I'll never
Have the love to give away?
We might've seen the ocean
I know I've had the notion
But I don't know love
So what's to say?
Enough
And is the worst all over
did my dreams go south or...
I've a bruise on my head
does it show?
my words sound so strange to me
thought that I was strong
but now I'm feeling empty
and so low
another cup of nothing
cause I think I'm full
and my hands are trembling
for a soul
wait, don't count be down or lost
(I know what's real)
I've held - I've held His hands
I know the cost
this is written on me
Christ is everything
wait, don't count me down or lost
(I know what's real)
I've held - I've held His hands
I know the cost
For the Love of my Country
for the love of this country, hey
one man pinned up and traded away
for the love of the country, hey
He is...
for the love of this country, man
how He laid down to love His land
for the love of this country, man
He is all
but what can i say?
(oh)
run and hide?
(no)
how can i be?
(low)
do you see this place?
(gone away, gone away, gone away)
do you see this race?
(gone away, gone awau, gone away)
for the love of this country, see
how we shake our fists angrily
for the love of this country, see
we are so
but what can i say
(oh)
run and hide
(no)
how can i be
(low)
do you see this place?
(gone away, gone awway, gone away)
do you see this race?
(gone awway, gone away, gone away)
for the love of this country, hey
would i live so to fade away?
for the love of this country, hey
would i fall?
Friday To Sunday
Darkness fell across the land
Our hope fell in the sand
And there it was
Though for certain we stood still
The earth shook and spilled
Then gave it up
Could we believe our eyes
When life has tossed us aside?
So turn and hang your head
He is given up for dead
And so am I
So give me the light to understand
The fight to comprehend the whys
So give me the mind to step ahead
When I hear what You’ve said and hide
The night turned to day
The days fade away
And so it was
The hours wouldn’t pass
And forever couldn’t last
We gave it up
We were fixed on the door
Waiting for… is this a dream?
Tell us how to feel
Can it be that this is real?
What am I?
So give me the light to understand
The fight to comprehend the whys
So give me the mind to step ahead
When I hear what You’ve said and hide
We once were full of hope to know
He’s opened up our eyes
But if He walks across the sea
What does any of it mean
If He has died
But the stone was rolled away
And the angel came to say
He’s alive, He is alive
But the stone was rolled away
And we just have to say
He’s alive
So give me the light to understand
The fight to comprehend the whys
So give me the mind to step ahead
When I hear what You’ve said and hide
Hello Sunny Weather
She shook her head and turned away
she said she will not hear me voice today
"you are still asleep and still the same,
same as the day you said you'd change."
and with my thoughts she let me stand
with words that scared my face and hands
maybe when I let my rocket land
she will see the boy inside the man
break this heart as cold as stone
you got to, got to know
than hello sunny weather
hello sunny weather
breath so deep this love of Christ
I got to, got to know
than hello sunny weather
hello, hello
lovliness it has a name
like John and Jill and Bill and Charlemange
and I guess my years of acting sane
were spent looking for the saviors face
I know I've said this all before
but I'm sure I mean it now all the more...
Hope for Always
when 'all is mine' is over
would You have the time, my friend
to push me up and over
hold me till the glory end and
when my pain is sober
would You have the mind to send
hope for always ever
hold me - this wicked man and
me, with pain and all
might take the fall
yet grow so tall
and creeping like a wonder
is the fear that drives me mad
"that all is going under,
all is always ever sad" and
throwing winter summer
and breezing me to my greed
but give me hope for always
'all' is falling on my knees and
You, with love and truth
will make us new
and will hold us thru
the sins of the world wouldn't hold You
though it seems each day i try
please, bless me with hope for always
that i might live, might die and
me, with pain and all
might take the fall
yet grow so tall
You, with love and truth
will make us new
and will hold us thru
I Am No Good
so it seized me
so it grieves me
grabs me everyday
will it bleed thru?
does it burn you?
got to take us ever low
take, us, take us ever low
no, other, no other chance i know
am i thinking?
am i drinking?
wrapped in me today
so you're scheming
wtill you're dreaming
all you have and plan you fail
all, you, all you have you fail
i, put, i put my life up for sale
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
leave it all down
i give all now
full of earth, i agree
does it create?
like a headache?
got you on your hands and knees
ou, your, on your hands and knees
now, i, now i fall in need
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
(i am no good)
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
now, i, now i fall indeed
In Love with the Greenery
(Love You)
You said, "I love the world"
"I love what you've done for me"
you let my grip go
And played the piano keys
Couldn't even see
Boxed in by a fantasy
Scared of real love
You're dead by your destiny
Now shuffling around
Shaking like a tambourine
Confused like the tide
By every star you've seen
You took on the world
It took you by surprise
Like the day you fell
And tears fell from my eyes
It's Simple to Me
well everything's so crazy in our heads
and sometimes i wonder if i should be dead
but i know that you know that we know why we live
and that is to be in all that He's said
the world is gray
here and gone today
the Son is here
He'll never go away
can we ever try, and do we know
that the things we want are beginning to show
we are all rich people now
but the eye of the needle is the way to go
well i could talk forever cause it's simple to me
and very often the things we know we can't even see
we hardly open up our eyes
and He's dazzled me with all that i can be
Joy I had was Joy I Sold
boom, I fell
on the ground
was it something sad
that made me mad
feelings to close to let me free
and what i have is what i hold
and joy I had was joy I sold, you'll see
crown the pain
and face the day
what i though would last
is fading fast
More
Oblivious to some things more in store
And when I wept I knew not what
or when or why what for
Is this earth so great though it will not last
Through crashing walls what stands is
one good thing one way one chance
And glimmer shining up and through the floor
Will run and hide and fade
just like He said it would before
And now my head is really spinning fast
I lived it all for me
and now it simply moved right past
Seeing, revealing
More is here today
Distance, no wisdom
I pushed true life away
"Wonderful" have I missed and I ignore
And "terrible" was my word
and was my life I became poor
Self was in my hands and then it passed
I'm left with picture perfect thought
of what we think we have
Imagine when I found I'm no savior
Imagine when I knew and saw
and fell before the Lord
Myself none of any good my world crashed
I lived it all for me
and so it simply moved right past.
My World Falls Down
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
but how i won't shut up
i stay(though my pain it swells)
i wait (as if all is well)
i faint (cause i've choked to tell)
i've got my sin and i've got my life
am i on my face? got to know who am i
i'm a stupid man and my eyes are dry
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
but how i won't shut up
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
i stay(though how dumb i be)
i wait(as He waits for me)
i faint(cause it's so heavy)
will i lift my hands and die inside?
i suffocate when i hold my life
will we throw this out? ya, i need Christ
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
but how i won't shut up
Lie, Lie, Lie
tired of seven hours a day
and weekends that go to fast
i set my sights on boardwalk streets
and a sunset that will last
i grabbed my coat and told my friends
that i was going away
just a few long miles
and a few good smiles
and i'll have my love today
ohh, lie, lie, lie
why must i look so hard?
ohh, lie, lie, lie
must i be so far?
intent on a life that is what i dream
i set out to be free
turned my check on my beleiffs
with whatever in front of me
sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope'
and 'hey man, you got to be good'
but if i want i'll sit and stare all day
at the clouds like i wish i could
....and just for tonight
a place to rest my head
my syes were heavy
but i found no peace in this bed
with the silence around
i felt to alone again
well, i closed my eyes with lifted hands
and i fell to my knees instead
tired of tears and a broken heart
and love that fades too fast
i set my sight for golden streets
and a joy that will ever last...
Never Said
in the summer's chill
we say the winter kills
but we don't know ourselves
well enough to know if this is true
ask a question here
and get an answer there
well it can take us years to
get to the One that sees us thru
you never said which things were real
i don't always know what's real to me
Someone right here said that He is gonna stay
you never said which things were real
i don't always know what's real to me
Someone right here said He's willing to explain
take a moment now to step out
think what everything is about
turn again to face the proud
they're saying now that they don't know
where to put our hands
who to tell us when and should we can
but we will lose our heads
from watching our confusion grow
does the headache know
do our faces show
that all we think we need
is just the things we want
sometimes i feel so gone
and my ways are often wrong
we've just got to realize
there's Someone more in this song
Now
Don’t dream of hours gone by
Of seconds came and spent
Don’t wish on distant stars
Of worlds come and went
(Oh, what do I see?)
Tripping through the moments
(And to my shame)
I’ve longed for years and months and days
(And days…)
Don’t wait for cloudless skies
When the sun breaks in between
Don’t hope on fruitless things
What’s in our hands, on what is seen
(Oh, what do I see?)
Tripping through the moments
(And to my shame)
I’ve longed for years and months and days
(And days…)
Don’t swim in drowning grief
Anticipating the despair
Don’t choke the seeds of joy
Give them life and give them air
(Oh, what do I see?)
Tripping through the moments
(And to my shame)
I’ve longed for years and months and days
(And days…)
Since I held the hands
(That bore my shame)
I count the years and months and days
(And days…)
Peapod
i've been standing here so long
i don't know where i've been
and i've been looking around so long
i don't know what i've seen
can i chase away the blues
and will i understand this
been here, there, everywhere
can i get back to His side?
it's alright
i've been turning around so long
i don't know which way is right
we've been tripping around so wrong
i know we've lost our sight
can He chase away the blues
and will we understand that
we've been here, there, everywhere
got to get back to His side
Praying For The Perfect World
I see… You are merciful
I see… You are kind
I see… You are full of love that is far beyond my mind
I hope… for strength to stand
I hope… to be the man that I should be
I hope… that You will embrace these little ones in spite of me
So I’m praying for the perfect world
Praying for the perfect…
I fear… for what I will say
I fear… for things that I have said
I fear… I’ll close my eyes and trip on what is ahead
I know… I need to trust
I know… I need to reach
I know… I need to believe in what I cannot always see
So I’m praying for the perfect world
Praying for the perfect…
World where the darkest days are like the brightest skies
World where we look through the eyes of a little boy and girl
World where the darkest days are like the brightest skies
World where we walk in the faith of a little boy and girl
Puddleglum
and then the rain falls down
into welcome hands on my lips
and in the distance i see clearer skies
oh, and i wonder do they come for me
majestic kingdom fall on me
lie me down and make me see
right above me the eye of the storm
my one and only my only love
but a single drop changes it all around
oh, and i feel so insecure
and soon there shines a light behind the clouds
and i reach and i pray
that someday we'll all find
the light that we've been looking for
Rail
Jesus tie these hands
I used to think
that every thing I touched
turned gold
but it don't
it turns cold
and reason guides this man
like spring, and fall
and wind to sand
I sway, I sway,
I cannot stand
what do I do,
when it seems I relate to Judas
more than You
and I can't ever
I can't ever
see the end...
Jesus help me see
it's not about consequence
it's peace
and I won't seek
on my own knees
and grace is over me
It's true I feel, I know it's real
but will I live
what I believe
Receive
tell the jury
tell the judge
tell the world
mom and dad
you are sad
check your name
check your head
I've heard more joy
from some - someone dead
are you He?
did you die on a tree
and I can't help
it makes me think
made of dirt
full of greed
like a theif
making life in robbery
mae a crown
for the pain
and it falls on your mind
like so much rain
recieve
too close
to far
to insane
recieve
Revolve
It promises much
It promises you’ll never be cold
The words are such
As to turn you until you are sold
And walk in this rut
And run in the ground where we know
Have the lights gone dim
In the light of this sin?
Am I breathing right?
Am I breathing right?
I’m pushing this out and pulling You in
I’ve been living in doubt and walking on pins
I’m throwing this out and hoping in
(Where joy and peace begin)
I’m sick of the drought and walking on
The current is strong
To move me and push me aside
And where I belong
Is it lost in the move of the tide
And when I am wrong
And when I am drowning inside
Has the sea rushed in
In the weight of this sin?
Am I breathing right?
Am I breathing right?
I’m pushing this out and pulling You in
(Where joy and peace begin)
I’ve been living in doubt and walking on pins
I’m throwing this out and hoping in
(Where joy and peace begin)
I’m sick of the drought and walking on
Pick up your feet and pick up your head
(I’m as tired as I can be)
Lift up your voice and sing till the end
(Lord, I need Your strength in me)
I’m pushing this out and pulling You in
(Where joy and peace begin)
I’ve been living in doubt and walking on pins
I’m throwing this out and hoping in
(Where joy and peace begin)
I’m sick of the drought and walking on
Ring True
what is this?
thru strange and bad
it does not touch this joy i have
what is this?
thru future, past
and now or then only love will last
oh, these words ring true to me
love the Maker
crown the King
who gives us all and makes me sing
count my blessings on my knees so thankful for everything
oh, these words ring true to me
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll se
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
this is real
and this is good
to trust ion truth now as i should
give the glory
give the pain
and let the fall build me again
oh, these words ring true to me
oh, these words ring true to me
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll see
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
who gives us all
(who gives us all)
and makes me sing
so thankful for
(so thankful for) all everything
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll see
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
who gives us all
(who gives us all)
and makes me sing
so thankful for
(so thankful for) all everything
Shine
What is it like when it's gone?
All the day and the night and the song
And what seems so real
Is what keeps us from the dawn
Truly I know it sometimes
I see the reasons and signs
That this world can only
turn so many times
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
Feelings all around in me
Do this, do that, and you'll see
That it's hard to find
Just what we need where we seek
I'll say it again that I've tried
To find the right ways on this ride
Where we're upside down
And we still will try to hide
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
And the Son will shine
And the reign won't fall
And I know inside
How He loves us all
Our hands will get so that they
Can't pull us up all the day
We need to find that
now we have to say
Sickly
is it sunny?
or is it raining out today?
is it calm outside?
or is the wind all on your face?
did the storm subside?
did it leave without a trace?
are you well?
ar have you never been so sickly?
are you stupid?
or have you never been so funny?
will, i don't know, byt i think i'm gonna
scream
well, i don't know, but i think i'm going
crazy
are you empty?
or are you all up full of money?
is your head clear?
or is it busy, falling, snowing?
are you sad?
or have you never been so happy?
will, i don't know, byt i think i'm gonna
scream
well, i don't know, but i think i'm going
crazy
will, i don't know, byt i think i'm
on my knees
will, i don't know, byt i think i
gotta pray
Simple To Me
well everything's so crazy in our heads
and sometimes i wonder if i should be dead
but i know that you know that we know why we live
and that is to be in all that He's said
the world is gray
here and gone today
the Son is here
He'll never go away
can we ever try, and do we know
that the things we want are beginning to show
we are all rich people now
but the eye of the needle is the way to go
well i could talk forever cause it's simple to me
and very often the things we know we can't even see
we hardly open up our eyes
and He's dazzled me with all that i can be
Slipknot
and fear
how it often seems to be all you hear
like a siren that just fills up your ears
will you lit it show you what you hold
oh, so close
and confused
i think i keep the devil amused
when i believe that his lies are true
but beyond the haze i know
which glory remains
my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indiffernce is cold
and hate
it seems to run this world just great
will they turn on time or roll in too late?
there's no turning round
on our knowledge now
and pain
does it fall upon your life like rain?
it will not kill or make you insane
just don't bow your neck
to the cutter's blade
my need i seek
in this hope i hold
Majesty, i see
indiffernce is cold
and fear
is it ever, ever all you can hear?
like a siren that just fills up your ears
would you let it go and throw you arms
to Christ, so close
my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indiffernce is cold
Slow
green i've seen
as jealous as anything
blue it's true
weep to sleep over you
i feel - and i kill
the sea in me
toss me up, around indeed
i will - be still
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
red i'm dead
"grief had got me" so i've said
clear to hear
however gone i could be near
i will - be filled
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
(grab me
that i might be awake)
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
(slow me
as i am running way to fast)
the wind in sin
on my hands instead again
instill - Your will
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
(grab me
that i might be awake)
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
(slow me
as i am running way to fast)
So Good to see Me
What is special now?
Well, I think that I am
And I see that we all revolve around me
And what I have in my hands is what I deserve
There's no better way to be
I say, so good to see me
Now I feel I've given so many, so much
Well here's my hands
I want more, more, more
Can you see that I am tired of being small?
That's how only you should be
I say, it's so good to see me
What is up and up for you
Does hold me down
Stay awhile and see that my words gleam
You know my mind is tired of the same old sounds
That's how you wanted it to be
I say, it's so good to see me
Sometimes Cry
don't delay for a minute
cause if you do i'll know you're too far into it
i mean the world around us
the world around
to keep your head above water
to be humble amidst tears and laughter
sometimes we need to hide
sometimes cry
run away
far away
to Yahweh
He's my hideaway
star-studded-super-step
yeah, you've turned around again
well i can feel it inside
in His side
and i'll tell you what He sees
but first i must fall down on my own knees
let me hold your hand
holding our hands
i need to lower my head
i don't know if i can
i've been so lost
i don't know if i can
i really have to fall
i don't know if i can
i'll say it again
i don't know if i can
and now we're losing time
no, we can't say we never got a sign
the love is all around us
and it surrounds us.
Speak Soft
Jerry had some beers and started to sing
he knows what he means he don't mean a thing
he waited fot the wisdom years would bring, to him
on the refrigarator door
are the words he had written moments before
it says i hope i never have to goes to war
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
he goes to the dance and falls in love
Years later it's to her he's thinking of
she never spoke once or even looked up, enough
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Houdini closed himself inside of a box
he didn't have a trick to spring the lock
off the stage the people watched, the clock
prison could be a nice place to live
the bars on the window like bars on a crib
freedom is the least desired gift, to give
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Jerry had some beers and started to weep
it's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
Sunlight & Shadows
I’ve been mixed in dark and light today, you know
And I’m sure it does not please or bless or show
Still there’s something to be said
However far beyond my nose, I know
Have you become so dull, so cold?
Does the truth leave an awful taste in your…
I’ve been betwixt in wrong and right today, you know
It crowds the mind and stops the heart, so let me go
How far down will I be lead
I pray you put the foot down, I am so low
Have you become so dull, so cold?
Does the truth leave an awful taste in your soul?
When fear grips it chokes out the air
Sometimes the dark is dark because a door is there
I’ve been tripped in weak and might today, you know
The longing glance of circumstance has begun to show
Lord, free this guilty head
I let go and take a step and watch me grow
Have you become so dull, so cold?
Does the truth leave and awful taste in your soul?
When fear grips it chokes out the air
Sometimes the dark is dark because a door is there
The Waiting Room
She was staring at the ceiling
I was staring at the floor
He was fixed in thought and wonder of what lied behind the door
There was a man with little movement
I knew I’d seen him here before
The people with the children were sick to death and would wait no more
The world it can’t be moving
It’s been two thousand years or
Have I stopped breathing?
Have I stopped believing?
Believe me, I…
He must’ve talked for forever
I think they finally turned away
And I was thinking to myself I should have plenty more to say
And some were getting very restless
Some were filling up the days
I was hoping that the girl with the curl would be safe
The world it can’t be moving
It’s been two thousand years or
Have I stopped breathing?
Have I stopped believing?
Believe me, I…
Just want to have the patience of a saint who waits at the gate
Please don’t be late
The floors are giving in
The walls are getting thin
The clock is moving slow
My breathing comes and goes
The room is getting small
The sin is growing tall
We wait for the day
We wait for the day
The world it can’t be moving
It’s been two thousand years or
Have I stopped breathing?
Have I stopped believing?
Believe me, I…
Just want to have the patience of a saint who waits at the gate
Please don’t be late
She was full of good intentions
I was full with all my greed
He was holding out his hands as if to give, as if to bleed
There was a man with little substance
I know I’d seen him here indeed
The people with the children spoke so soft to confess their need
And some are getting hopeless
Some are filling up the days
I am hoping on a promise, on a gift, and so I wait…
The Weeds that Grow around my Feet
choices cloud my head again
wrapped inside my self instead
and if I fall this time
will it be the time
for this crime
and anger has more of my soul
than I ever wished it would hold
and as I let it grow
and watch how it grows
it won't fold
do I love this world?
can I breath beyond here?
flowers have grown round my eyes and ears
the soil it soaks all my tears
how I'm tired of standing here
and I'm sick of that heat that's so near
and if were all right
and if we can't be wrong
than we needn't
we're almost there
like I'm depressed and I hold a gun
do I love this world?
can I breath beyond here?
it's all the same
just falling rain
all more the reason to stay
what is the scene
it's brown and green
the weeds that grow around my feet
This Theatre
this theatre
is so run down
the grabbing hands
oh the people of this town
my costume is on
and the scenery shines
they all wait for me
to say my lines
countless in numbers
are the laughter and tears
the emotions so differ of he who hears
i laugh in fear
as i cross the stage
my whole life's been used
just to reach this age
and now i'm stepping in
to begin again
and i start to cry
will this ever end
i dance and i dance
and i sing and i sing
i hope my conscience won't let me
keep this masquerade going
i finish my part
and the lights go down
and once again
i'm just a clown
Thoughtless
in my money, i was at home
to the beggar, i was so cold
in my pockets, all that i could hold
as i left here, this was all i was told...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a qurater for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
of my, how poor
as a thinker, i was so loud
in my wisdom, i was profound
as i left here, this was the sound...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a qurater for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
of my, how poor
oh my Lord
by my own way, i felt very near
when it shook me, this was all i could
hear...
To Be Awake
Well I'm a happy man
So will I ever speak my mind
But I know that we just never have the time
To be awake, to be ashamed, will you?
This world wants to drownd me
with the things it's thinking of
So now I don't want to see or breath
in this place that cannot love
I would rather lose my life
than to ever, ever lose my mind
But in this world, in this land
It's our thoughts that we cannot find
So now you see me run away
and you wonder why I get scared
Well, I just can't help but think
about the things of which we're
not aware.
Today
It is the sweetest thing to know that
To know it is right
And what a sight
To step ahead and see the Son, now…
Not a cloud in mind
Or waiting on time
I’ve emptied my hands
And now I can, I can receive
The most amazing things seem to follow
The darkest of nights
And what a sight
I am saved from the deepest of graves, now…
Not a cloud in mind
Or waiting on time
I’ve emptied my hands
And now I can, I can receive
Today
May be the most beautiful day
I don’t sing alone
And the angels say…
Today
May be the most wonderful day
I don’t sing alone
And the angels say…
Tried and True
What kind of lies have led your despise
Have stung your mindsize
Tried and true no gain
Yes it's true that things are upset
Wrapped in substance
Please call His name
This sort of drug has got you thinking
Well I think you're sinking
And it's all the same
It's simple now you think you need it
Well I think it's sickness
Please call His name
Blue now thru and thru
And I see you're gone
Content in a reason bent
Please don't take too long
Another trip, another day lost
And in whose cost?
What do you claim?
Well I believe in truthful glances
And second chances
Please call His name
Feelings of joy, mindless toy
Could you get by, and never get high
Feelings of joy, mindless toy
Could you restrain, would you complain
Feelings of joy, life unsoiled
My Lord gives a new life
Don't, don't take a long time
What kind of lies have led your despise
Have stung your mindsize
Please call His name
Blue now thru and thru
And I see you're gone
Content in a reason bent
Please don't take too long
Stop it's always me and me
Like the other song
He shines with grace and peace
So don't take too long
What if Uncle Ben had Lived?
falling down the stairs
climb into the sea
the world is on it's hands
then it's on it's feet
touch the silent man
who cares where he goes
stand high above his back
like the ground beneath your toes
the breeze is to much for me - anymore
(I've seen this in people who are weak)
and if I push the blade in deep
will in break inside of me
in me, in me...
reaching for a star
with my eyes dead on the floor
racing all the time
my soul can't take much more
touch the silent man
who makes himself so low
will I spit on him again
and turn myself away
what more will it take
falling down the stairs
climb into the sea
the world is on it's hands
then it's on it's feet
touch the silent man
who makes himeself so low
make your self as small
just He and I and all
Where Were All of You
hey you got a little something to say
i know you think it wrong
and you're gonna make the world okay
make us strong
where did you go?
want your right? rise up today
you, one and all
and the soul not so much to pay
feeling tall
where did you go?
where were all of you?
a man can die
a child can cry
or One crucified
for you and i
a child can die
a Man can cry
and nailed on high
to give us life
where's the rights?
where's the rights?
oh, where's the rights?
have to push 'no choice' away
ya, make it small
"have to do all what we may"
you can't fall?
where did you go?
where did you go?
