I awoke

Can I tell you a story? No it’s not a fable
I woke in the darkness, it was clutching me fierce
I jolt up in terror, their eyes all around me
I ran to the porch room, the sun held me there
You ask me fine stranger, how dark were these guests
My eyes became rivers, my heart beating in my chest
I clenched my jaw tighter than ever before
How could so much anger have ever been born
In sorrow I whisper, it’s love that you lack
You can’t take my darling, I’ll be needing that

The doorway

|
Roll back the stone and let the light in
You must have forgotten how beautiful you are
Will you please put down your weapons
They won’t do you any good here
Your sword can’t touch my soul
Crack your eyes then peel back the curtain
There’s not anything to fear love
Nothing but yourself
Take a shovel press it in
Uncover the lantern from within
Dig in deeper it will sting
No it’s not ever easy sifting through sin
Just by chance you might fall in
Take the water, soak it in
A river will flow out
Breathe in the light and exhale darkness
Then your journey will begin
This is the doorway to your heart
Take a shovel press it in
Uncover the lantern from within
Dig in deeper it will sting
No it’s not ever easy sifting through sin
It’s all for Love
I hope this is good timing
There’s no need to run
It’s all inside your garden
Tend to the shrubs
Looks as though they’re wilting
It’s all for Love
I hope you’re close behind

Faith

Hello stranger you look lost
A lonely candle in the dark
Hello father, I see you standing there
Your laughter sets a spark
Hello Lover, quit your quivering
I’ve seen ghosts, some shining in the light
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared
Oh I’ve felt the dark
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared
Oh my God I’ve felt the dark
Faith in something greater keeps me on my feet
In these long long days of dark
When bombs are getting bigger, people die for weeks
I asked what all this fighting is for
Oh I ask what all this fighting is for
But Faith in something greater keeps me on my feet
In these long long days of dark
When hearts are getting colder and we’re trading souls for sheep
I pray we’ll learn what all this fighting is for
I pray we’ll learn what all this love is for
I pray we’ll learn what all this love is for

Heaven on Earth

Oh darling your wings are sore
From all this needless flight, flapping around, hoping for more
Take all this love that you’ve been given
Let it grow and grow inside of you till it builds up and you can’t help but livin and lovin
Take all this all selfish conditionin and break on through
Break on out of this shell that you’ve been livin in
Follow your dreams follow your dreams
They’ll take you higher than you’ve ever been before
Don’t stop under the hand of a selfish man asking you for more than you’ve Got in your tank
Take a seat down,
Take one down with me,
Soak up the light,
Open the door so we can have heaven on earth
Oh my brother just walk so much gently
Over these thorns that you’ve been treating
You give so much and then you’ve got nothing left
To feed your own soul
Come sit with me
Come soak
Soak up the light
Open the door so we can have heaven on earth
There’s nothing to fear
It’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be alright
Just open the door,
Open the door,
Let in the light, and let there be heaven on earth

Laughter in the Wind
03:10
|

|
If I walked through the cold hard rain would you follow
Not a drop of fear on you gentle head
Your soles are hard from years of earth beneath them
Don’t forget to lay down and thank her
Would you walk for hours in the midday sun just to meet me
At the old oak tree in the middle of our field
A cautious smile tends to leak with fits of laughter
This laughter will carry in the wind
This laughter will carry…

Rubble/Home
07:24
|
|||
|
The seeds have been planted
The roots are starting to take hold
I guess I need a little patience
For they haven’t yet broken the soil
I feel the anticipation
Welling up from deep within my bones
And I can’t wait to see the bright budding bulbs
I can’t wait to see the bright and budding bulbs
Merely pebbles in my hand
Legs crossed pinned fast upon the floor
Blue sky I see it
But I can’t stop running into walls
And I’d shatter these panes
Only if my limbs were diamond stone
Only if my limbs were diamond stone
I can’t wait to crawl from the rubble to my home
I can’t wait to crawl from the rubble to my home
