40 million miles away

I look down at my hands and feet
I've felt this way but don't understand
I began to lose my sight of the street
And I saw-felt for a flash my homeland

Somewhere 40 million miles away
I float on this breath I can't breath in
I missed the inhale but drank up the day
This is a battle of knowledge I can't win
But more than 40 million miles away
is the desert of more than forty years ago
And someday I'll pass through the gates
despite how little I know

Im out of mind but I'm in his heart
I won't worry about my breathing
I know so little but I feel this is the start
Of my reassured new beginning

Peace in the Unpieceable

Slowing down
for just a moment
lets hold it
lets unfold it
take the stillness from the sky
and let it sink into our soul through our eyes

Fall on my soul like life water
Let me find stability even as I falter
Cause this world wont slow down for me
and its only when I look past the business that I see
there is peace even in the darkest place
if I find the light beam that falls from your face

Common ground
is hard to find
they run and hide
no peace inside
can we find peace in this restlessness
can we find joy in this hopelessness

Fall on my soul like life water
Let me find stability even as I falter
Cause this world wont slow down for me
and its only when I look past the business that I see
there is peace even in the darkest place
if I find the light beam that falls from your face

Even in these dingy halls
even in the marred scarred walls
Even in these places there is life
Even in these broken hearts
Even when the dark cracks the start
of the new way and new sound
there is life
in your light
were alright

Cover My Mouth

Why are the nations falling
Why is youth failing
Why are they calling
Why are we nailing
the sins of our souls to the blaze of a fire,
and promise not to look because we dont want to see.
Whatever happened to the longing desire
to see the captives set free.

We cover our mouths
We wont make a sound
though people around
bleed and die out
and fall to the ground
unheard and unsound
because we cover our mouths

If we have the truth why dont we speak
What do we have to lose
theres nothing to keep
If nothing this proves
that we are weak
and I need someone
to undo the loser in me

You Say You Want To Live In a Modern World?

We've got every kind of button and gadget,
but boy have I had it,
up to here
We've got every kind of flashing light,
No one sees tonight
no one hears.
And no one cares,
no no one seems to care

You say you want to live in a modern world,
well welcome to our facade parade
Did you want to live lonely, join the band
did you want to live hard without a stand
You say you want to live in a modern world
Did you want to live only in a screen, live like this if you can
but the modern makes me want to scream

Do you want to live in a world of crumbling concrete
where no one looks in each others eyes as they walk the street
theres mistrust on every side,
we've run to the dark and abandoned the Light
I'd give anything to get rid of the modern life.

FreakOut

I realize Im in the spotlight
Is this the first time
Am I waking up
Or breaking up
Its getting hard to tell
Am I coming out of my shell
Or am I leaving peace and security
for doubt
Is it a new dawn of revelation or a
FreakOut
A FreakOut!

Cause my pulse is pounding in my ears
I can't count up my fears
they're creeping out
Hear my shout
I feel like I'm of control
whatever made me feel whole
My breathless heartbeat
Is wandering the street
Wont you come back to me
Its not supposed to be like this now
Is this my FreakOut!

Whatever made me feel whole
What is this hole in my soul
Why is my head spinning out of control
The songs wont come
I am undone

Have I forgotten
That I'm not the one who holds gravity down
I'm not the one who put breath in my mouth
Do I have any good reason to despair like this now
Do I have any good reason to FreakOut?

Cause my pulse is pounding in my ears
I can't count up my fears
they're creeping out
Hear my shout
I feel like I'm out of control
whatever made me feel whole
My breathless heartbeat
Is wandering the street
Wont you come back to me
Its not supposed to be like this now
Is this my FreakOut!
This is my FreakOut!
Its been my FreakOut!
But its Over now...

A Rainy Day

Air becomes a cold whisper that creeps up into the fabric of your clothes and numbs your fingers. Wind comes like a sequel to the cold undertone, stirring up Air for what is to come.

Dried up leaves skip and swirl across the ground and into Air, then dive back down and dissolve into crinkly noises. Clouds come in like a patchwork quilt across the sky, until it is a single color of gray-blue-white with a soft cold gloss.

Greens and browns become brighter and darker, their rich warmth overcoming the cold. A few icy drops fall from the sky and splash into the cracks of gray pavement. More come down on earth, falling like hundreds of liquid comets. They splash onto the ground and dance on everything they touch, slipping and soaking into clothes, skin and eyelashes.

Harder and harder they pound, trying to break through to the warm center of earth. Grass sparkles like a field of diamonds on emerald turf. Like a sigh the sky draws its breath and mist unravels from the liquid sky. Earth is soaked to the bones. Air is clear cold and fresh.

Attidude of Worship

Let this freeway sing your praises tonight
Let the red lights remind me of your might
Let the hum and sigh of the road be a song unto your ears
Let your hands reach down to wipe away my tears
and all my fears
and all the years
I will let go  and you will purge it
Its my attitude of worship

Let the lights fade from my head
Let me rest on all you've said
Let my feet be set on your solid rock
Let my heart not fear what I havent got
Let the flashing lights and shouts be only unto you
Let me be amazed through what humility can do
Let your hands reach down to wipe away my tears
and all my fears
and all the years
I will let go and you will purge it
Its my attidude of worship

Let it all be only for you
All that I ever say and do
Let this stage be an alter
Let not my faint heart falter
May all the sounds of my life bless those who've heard it
An attitude of worship
Its the attidude of worship
Keep the attiitude of worship
May I have the attidude of worship
