Shadowland

Safe, we are all born in a foreign land
Safe, we are held in a makers hand
Lately I’ve been guessing
To know the right direction
Safe, we are lost in a shadowland
Waking, walking, running to the end
When I heard your song above the noise
Rising and falling back again
I knew there was someone to know who I am
To know me as I am
Safe, we all thirst in a burnt out land
Waking, walking, running to the end
Lately I’ve been asking
To know the motivation

Time is all I have worth making
Time is here then had
Time is everything awakened
A sea of what’s left unsaid
It’s all we have
It’s all we have
Time is all I have for changing
Time is now then past
Time is everything that’s waiting
A gift, a life to unwrap
It’s all we have
It’s all we have

Sunny Day

Age is a strange fiction
Just circles around a sun
Each day moving on and forward
We’re just kids having fun
We’re just kids having fun
Sunny day I want you back
Sunny days are what we had
When I was young
Sad songs were fun
Sunny day I want you back
Summer days are what we had
When we were kids
Our hearts we’d give
Youth is a bright vision
Painted in rose and gold
Seasons arriving then going
We’re just kids growing old
We’re just kids growing old

Blurred the lines
That I can’t find
The words falling in the sea
So sail the lines
The hundredth time
One day the words
Will fall into me
Lost, I will find you
Your colored shaded light
Soon, I will find you
Your song in the night
Shifting frames
That hide and sway
The words tripping in front of me
So draw the lines
The thousandth time
One day the words will pour out of me
Lost, I will find you
Your colored shaded light
Soon, I will find you
We’ll dance in the night
Settled then
A phrase to end
All the spinning in front of me
To feel the swell
Of words that tell
All the beauty inside of me
All the beauty inside of me
There’s fire in your eyes
It’s burning strong, burning bright
There’s fire in your eyes
My lovely Emmaline

Give You Better
03:27
|

And I walked out
Feeling all of me
Unable to speak out loud
And I walked out tonight on a borrowed line
And I wiped out
With all the words
Unable to make a sound
And I wiped out tonight not feeling fine
Hey, hey, hey
I want to give you better
Hey, hey, hey
I don’t want to see you suffer
And I washed out
Feeling tired for myself and blind
And I washed out tonight not feeling right
And I wiped out
With nothing, nothing left to give
And I wiped out tonight not feeling fine
Hey, hey, hey
I want to give you better
Hey, hey, hey
I don’t want to see you suffer
Hey, hey, hey
I’m going to give you better
I’m going to give you better

Talking To The Air
04:55

I wondered if you heard me
Talking to the air
Why sometimes I feel you
Why somedays nothings there
I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want my heart to feel like stone
I don’t want to be left alone
Here on my own
I wondered if you’d left me
I wondered if you cared
Why sometimes I see you
Why somedays you’re not there
I don’t want to be numb
I don’t want my heart deaf and dumb
I don’t want to be left numb
Here without your touch
Let your love come into my heart
Light it up and mend what fell apart
Let your love come into my heart
And lift it up, lift it up

With God On Our Side
05:14

Oh my name it ain't nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I was taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side
Oh, the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh, the country was young
With God on its side
The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War, too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I was made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side
The First World War, boys
It came and it went
The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side
The Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now, too
Have God on their side
I've learned to hate the Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side
But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them, we're forced to
Then fire, them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side
Through many a dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ was
Betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
That if God's on our side
He'll stop the next war

No more signs or dividing lines
It’s here I find you
An open space meant to agitate
All who hate and feud
No more war or keeping score
Every wall we’ll break through
No half truth or hidden clue
It’s here I find you
A guiding light meant to give us sight
In bright rainbow hue
No more lack or karma stacked
Every heart God imbues
You say I love you with words we can hear
You say I want you everyone draw near
You say I love you with nothing to fear
You say I’ll hold you everyone here
I saw past the line
I saw past the lines

Home

Home, I won’t let you fall tonight
No dark will ever clothe your light
Oh, You’re covered in strength and might
Home, I won’t let you slip away
No harm will ever overtake
Oh, A mighty peace is here to stay
I’m coming home
You’re not alone
I’m coming home
I won’t be your photograph
Absent from the air you breathe
Wondering when I’ll be home to see
I won’t be your photograph

I wonder how far I could run away
Fade away past the things I’ve seen
I find it hard to think another way
It’s hard to pray and say “Let it be”
I won’t fool you
I can’t see past today
I won’t lose you
On and on and on we’ll find a way
I wonder how far I could drift away
Fade away past what I’ve known
I find my heart and will are feeling late
In between with no direction home
On and on
On and on
On and on we’ll find a way

Oh my. This song causes my heart to cry out to God in utter reverence. "The nearness of You is my only good. Who have I, but You?" May the Lamb receive the reward of His suffering.
