Why My Eyes Look Tired

Is there any part of me
Is there anything left
Is there any spark in me
Is there anything remaining after theft

Lately I have been feeling old
like I've already lived a thousand lives
But maybe lately I haven't told
you my love what is on my mind

I am tired of the world
and the world is tired of me
the earth is unkind
and there's nothing left to see
people disappoint your heart
and tear it into broken parts
like this broken song I sing to you
I'm tired you see
Too tired to be
please revive me

Is there any good to see
Is there anything right
Is there any lark to sing
Is there anything light

Lately I have been feeling old
like I've already lived a thousand lives
But maybe lately I haven't told
you my love what is on my mind

I am tired of the world
and the world is tired of me
the earth is unkind
and there's nothing left to see
people disappoint your heart
and tear it into broken parts
like this broken song I sing to you
I'm tired you see
Too tired to be
please revive me

I'm worn out
I feel like an antique
Just put me on a shelf that no one sees
I'm torn down
I feel like a freak
Cause no one understands my wild demands
and my heart feels like lead as it sinks
I'm a discontented broken heart
All I am will fall apart
If you don't come in with strong arms
and carry me away from harm

This is why my eyes look tired...

Pulse

There is a song under the water
there is a song above the sky
there is a song deep inside her
but she can't place a reason why

There is a song under the ceiling
there is a song above the roof
there is a song that calls a feeling
he says that this song is his proof

Its the song of rhythm
the song of passion for our souls
its the pulse of your breathin
its the melody that starts when you make us whole
and we are your creation
breathless with anticipation
sing your song
sing of your love
sing it strong
under and above

There is a song under the night time
there is a song above the day
it is the reason and the rhyme
it keeps the timing of our praise

There is a song under our eyes
there is a song above our heads
Its the wonder of your skies
and the remedy of the dead

Its the song of rhythm
the song of passion for our souls
its the pulse of your breathin
its the melody that starts when you make us whole
and we are your creation
breathless with anticipation
sing your song
sing of your love
sing it strong
under and above

Popsicle

Popsicles on a summer day
little kids keep the heat away
they sit and laugh in the breezy shade
freeze tag is now the game
little muddy hands that God has made
little child don't forget these old ways

popsicles melt away
but you can keep them in your heart
popsicles can't always stay
but you can stay young please start
to stay strong now
little bare feet on the ground
this life will soon melt away
keep yourself back in the popsicle days

You may get older as all young do
You may get wiser on what you never wanted to
but just because the popsicles dissipate
that doesn't mean you have to keep those days away
there's a choice to stay young in your soul
there's a choice to get old yet still have popsicles to hold

Two Chance Alive

As the land line flattens against the horizon my heart ceases to beat
As the thick clouds settle like a dark song song my lungs cease to breath
And Without any ceremony
without anyone to console me
I fade away like a light in the night
White is black and black is white

No one else hopes for me now
I've given up and in but you save me somehow
Breathin through me
breathin to me
I am pale and white
you pull back the sheets
and shoot life through my veins
a cry rises from my placid lungs
what song have you sung
I am revived
two chance alive

You bring color skin
water to my lips
blood is moving within
I scrapped past deaths fingers of ice
Your all consuming and I'm alive
you only have made me to live
forever praise and glory I'll give
to you

This is the second life
two chance, two chance alive
This is the second life
two chance, two chance alive

Butterfly

Butterfly I saw your colors
Butterfly a delicate wonder
Butterfly don't fly away come and sun
yourself please stay
Butterfly please brighten up the day

Butterfly I know your wings are tired
I know that you feel conspired
against
I know one touch and you will break
You're not sure how much more you can take
But butterfly your wings can change the course of the wind
Butterfly though its less painful , don't give up, don't blend in

Butterfly open up your eyes
Butterfly look up at the sky
Butterfly it may be dark, it may be light
Butterfly have peace and hope inside
Butterfly know that love is in sight

Losses

All you want and all you need
are two very different things
Flying back in your face
are the memories that wont erase
A remembering mind can be a burden
you can't get stuck in thought you've gotta keep movin.

Its when you're still when your shot
losing blood you haven't got
to lose
hurt and confused
holding onto the wound
you cant lose your losses
you carry 'em like crosses
but this cross wasn't intended for your bearing
let go of all the stones that you're carrying

You've bottled up inside every thorny word,
every insult that has deeply hurt
you recount your pains like a miser counts gold
your eyes burn red and your heart grows cold

Its when you're still when your shot
losing blood you haven't got
to lose
hurt and confused
holding onto the wound
you cant lose your losses
you carry 'em like crosses
but this cross wasn't intended for your bearing
let go of all the stones that you're carrying

Arrows fly like shards of glass
memories from the painful past
give your sorrow to the king
rest you head as he sings

Only Money Love

Nothing but a sea of green
Pockets splitting at the seam
You're bank book's full
but you're feeling dull
have you gone and sold your soul

They tell us only money love
Only money and its never enough
you can only buy love with money
they say you can't get by with just loving
But everyone is empty and used up
Only money-love
only money, love.

Just sit there and put on your pretty face
you're handsome so you'll bring good pay
Work until you can't sweat a drop more
and realize all the creditors are at your door
Even if you make all the paper you ever wanted
You find your heart raw and so blood red

They tell us only money love
Only money and its never enough
you can only buy love with money
they say you can't get by with just loving
But everyone is empty and used up
Only money-love
only money, love.

Is this all there is
they tell us its so
is this how to live
Savior erase the green from our souls
Make the nations white as snow
this is not all there is to live for
You came to give us true riches and so much more
