RAINDROP ON FIRE
From a distance the roughness appears plane
Elevation cures the insurmountable terrain
Changing climate ignorant preparations
For comfort’s place I never meant to be
And every lover would call me fortunate to be
A raindrop on fire burnin uncontrollably
Now even aliens would say I’m lucky to be
A raindrop on fire burning uncontrolled
I’m not letting go
Erosion causes a changed topography
I imploded tryin to avoid it inconsistently
Details all grow quiet the void begins to speak
Into the screaming lure of security
And every lover would call me fortunate to be
A raindrop on fire burnin uncontrollably
Now even aliens would say I’m lucky to be
A raindrop on fire burning uncontrolled
I’m not letting go
Cause and effect love shatters me whole
Cause and effectual terrain has a sacred glow
Cause and effect love is shatterin me
Cause and effectual terrain
Won’t let me wither away
And every lover would say I’m falling
I’m a raindrop on fire I’m burning
And every lover would say I’m lucky to be
A raindrop on fire burning uncontrollably
And even aliens would would call me fortunate to be
A raindrop on fire
burning uncontrolled
I’m not letting go

EVERYTHING I’VE ACCUMULATED
My hope is under attack
I’m told my soul now lacks
Everything I’ve accumulated inside of me
Still the light breaks new with the day
So I know that I am better off anyway
‘cos everything I’ve accumulated
I don’t even need
I was told to believe that
Life is found in achievement
And my boy held the apples in his hand
As the horses gently ate what they were given
And my choice is to turn away
From what won’t last everything I’ve accumulated
So let me die and finally break free
From this life fueled by want and by greed
Everything I’ve accumulated is so incomplete
Necessity is nowhere to be found
It’s fine with me that house is crumbling down
With everything I’ve accumulated
Windows broken out
I once placed my trust
In what returns to dust
And my boy held the apples in his hand
As the horses gently ate what they were given
And my choice is to turn away
From what won’t last everything I’ve accumulated
I think faith is so much more
Than what’s attained and what is stored
I have drained and dried my well
As if I own faith for myself
Was blind now I’ve been turned around
From a mind so safe sane and sound
From everything cos my sweetie told me
To lay it down
And my boy held the apples in his hand
As the horses gently ate what they were given
And my choice is to turn away
From what won’t last everything I’ve accumulated

Building of Love

BUILDING OF LOVE
I proceeded with an obstacle in my way
I was not watchin’ yes I was given a ticket
But I’d rather be alive yes I’d rather be for real
Rather than bein’ just fine and forgettin’ to feel
Yes I’d rather be alive than be correct
And I went to that building of love
They tried to knock it down and keep us out
But I climbed in where it was spray painted with love
And your name was upon every wall
And now you’ll find me in that building of love
Down the outfield line it’s so hard to catch a foul ball
‘cos everybody’s tryin’ to do the very same
But in the middle up through the concourse
Where all the people are a lot more
Sometimes a foul ball makes its way
And I went to that building of love
They tried to knock it down and keep us out
But I climbed in where it was spray painted with love
And your name was upon every wall
And now you’ll find me in that building of love
In every human soul
There’s a soup of both true and false
And your broth I can’t get enough of
And I went to that building of love
They tried to knock it down and keep us out
But I climbed in where it was spray painted with love
And your name was upon every wall
And now you’ll find me in that building of love

FRIEND OF THE SINNER
Well I am contradiction
I am lost and found
So thankful you have rescued me
Strapped to the bottom by both
Certainty and doubt
And now I’m back up on my feet
And you’re the friend of the sinner
Yes you’re the healer of all hurt
Through the light and the darkness
Your mercy runs both ways
Yes you’re the friend of the sinner
You’re the torch by which we search
Both the coming and going
Are guided by your grace
Unanswered question
Are unfoldin’ in my mind
So I’ll stop to stare into your blaze
At that spaciousness that
Burns my eyes with sight
And you meet me in that flame
And you’re the friend of the sinner
Yes you’re the healer of all hurt
Through the light and the darkness
Your mercy runs both ways
Yes you’re the friend of the sinner
You’re the torch by which we search
Both the coming and going
Are guided by your grace
I’m a valley of dry bones
Yet your grace always flows in through the cracks in my soul
Down to the tips of my toenails
And… and… and
And you’re the friend of the sinner
Yes you’re the healer of all hurt
Through the light and the darkness
Your mercy runs both ways
Yes you’re the friend of the sinner
You’re the torch by which we search
Both the coming and going
Are guided by your grace

SPIDERLEGS (OUT FROM UNDER)
Pretty baby let’s go to the deepest end
Hold on tightly to me together we’ll both sink or swim
Pretty baby I see your face
Every night in my dreams
All the time and in every place
My soul was filled with spider legs
That all ran wild in the darkness the darkness
The web was spun I was overcome
Not strong enough just covered up
But now I’m comin’ out from under
Dearest one there is no more cage
So let’s not duck any longer safely playing it safe
My dearest one let’s take the net down
‘cos we might fly when we untie
And lift our eyes up from the ground
My soul was filled with spider legs
That all ran wild in the darkness the darkness
The web was spun I was overcome
Not strong enough just covered up
But now I’m comin’ out from under
Bye bye bye bye bye bye hello
Bye bye bye bye bye bye hello
Bye bye bye bye bye bye hello
Out from under oh
My soul was filled with spider legs
That all ran wild in the darkness the darkness
The web was spun I was overcome
Not strong enough just covered up
But now I’m comin’ out from under

Too Much

TOO MUCH
You can never have too much ease
You can never have
Too much of the good good life
You can never have too much security
You can never wonder
Too much what gives when everythin’ flies
I will close my eyes
Life my mind from all that’s shinin
Tear away my soul’s
Linin’ from sterile hands
I will not dance
You can never do to much work
You can never get too much
From your achievement dreams
You can never do too much
Steering from what hurts
You can never wonder
Too much what gives when everythin’ leaves
I will close my eyes
Life my mind from all that’s shinin’
Tear away my soul’s
Linin’ from sterile hands
I will not dance
Reverse my heart
Pleasantries have left me dark
Reverse my heart
This search for peace has left me scarred
You can never have too much zeal
You can never have
Too much of an aligning mind
You can never have
Too much inherited belief
You can never wonder too much
Why the abundance died
I will close my eyes
Life my mind from all that’s shinin’
Tear away my soul’s
Linin’ from sterile hands
I will not dance

DOWN ON THE CORNER
I’ve heard dreams always die
Yet mine have come to life
As the sun began to rise
They were written on the sky
Now I’m trustin’ in the comin’ day
As I sat there sippin’ coffee
I knew I’d drink in grace
Yes I long for what I had always known
In that pub down on the corner
My glass was filled with hope
There’s talk of way and truth and life
There’s wonderin why I’ve chosen love’s way
All while the truth is defining
The life I’m livin out each day
Down on the corner
I met what I’d longed for
Spaciousness wide
Opened up my eyes
Down on the corner
I was cornered by life
Down on the corner
I met what I’d longed for
Spaciousness wide
Opened up my eyes
Down on the corner
I was cornered by life

Not Looking Back

NOT LOOKIN BACK
Not lookin back anymore
Gone is that latch from that door
I threw it to the bottom of the lake
It’s on the floor of the reservoir
So now whatever washes up my way
I won’t be lookin back anymore
Not lookin back
Not lookin back that’s for you to do
No need for that
‘cos you’re pointin me towards the truth
And there’s a grace bestowed upon my soul
So now that’s where I’m gonna find my rest
Floating in the mercy flow
I won’t be lookin back again
Not lookin back
Now did I earn my spot
Inside the love so pure
Now has it all been lost
As I find myself at malleable juncture
Not lookin back and I feel justified
I’ll answer for that when those condemning pigs fly
‘cos when approval shrivels and dries up
Was it ever more than dancing air
There’s a persistence found in love
So I won’t be looking back in fear
Not lookin back

I Belong to You

I BELONG TO YOU
I will take my stance in the trees
I’ll go runnin with the wildebeest
It’s all connected I long to just fit in
To a world exploding with love’s energy
And that love’s gonna grow we’ll find inevitably
Wild through the soul so divine moves me to just be
I’m always new way beyond all proof
I belong to you
So to make me leave you’ll need to escort me
From the room
Way beyond all proof I belong to you
Yes I will dive inside the sea
I won’t lie and hide in fallen leaves
It all will play a part for this clog inside my heart
Is like a dog who merely barks finally set free
I will jump I will leap without fear I am loved
Let’s hang on let’s cling being careful’s no longer an option
I’m always new way beyond all proof
I belong to you
So to make me leave you’ll need to escort me
From the room
Way beyond all proof I belong to you
What’s repaired is gold and shines
The pieces glow
Caught in the hold of life
What’s broken’s now whole
I’m always new way beyond all proof
I belong to you
So to make me leave you’ll need to escort me
From the room
Way beyond all proof I belong to you
Never ending redo
I belong to you
Way beyond all proof I belong to you
I belong to you
