The apparent solidity of matter is an illusion And there seems to be some confusion Over what it means When sages says that its just one of those dreams That seems to linger And the finger Pointing to the moon Cannot come to soon But do not mistake It for a freedom you cannot fake You know when you’ve been deceived It happens when there’s something you believed Rather than known And the flowers grown And in full bloom Can fragrance a room So it is with you I’m telling you coz you want me to Deep in your heart There is something no one can tear apart Not with knives and scissors Not with hacksaws and chisels It lives in a domain Beyond the realm of pain And the Bible speaks of the Valley In the Shadow of Death and any One who disputes That it encroaches on the resolute Must be wrong Because when I was strong I felt it multiply I was so afraid to die But when the midnight came I was simply not the same And surrendered the ghost To the Light I love the most It is my Jesus true And He asked me to share Him with you
It’s either a famine or a feast So say the ones who have deceased And left us with their words And I may be away with the birds But I still have something left to impart Because that holy dart Struck me straight into the heart And said stand up and speak The one who says to the weak Or the cripple to walk I’ve been silent but now I talk And my voice is resonant With a power that’s heaven sent As the Christ makes Himself known In the garden that has grown In the absence of stares And somebody cares About who you are And every star That ever was must burn So why did my sky take a turn To spin around the sun I think I know the only One That will ever come to reside In the heart where love abide As I give the King his reign Please don’t ask me to do that again But if you do I will consent And acquiesce to your request To be the tower in the shade It’s something I cannot evade As I spill secrets to my GP And she looks back at me With frightened eyes My disguise Has grown thin Since I revealed myself to him And I can no longer lie by omission Or sell myself for a commission But bullet reverberate around my soul Leaving me riddled with holes Like the pillars of the GPO Who are the British in this, do you know?
On sidelines in the winter The cold pierces my soul And what are waves to do But roll and roll and roll As I stand by the shore What do you adore When pain is at home And wherever you roam You will find All that you have left behind In secrets and in sudden starts The beauty that his love imparts
I'll be famous someday
The girl whispered to the screen
As she watched the mountains
Live their dream
And she caught every droplet
That fell from the sky as rain
Chalked it up to the cross
When she felt the pain
Of living the life she knows on the ground
You hit me hard and I didn't make a sound
And I just fell like a tree in the forest
Does all of the silence mean that you're honest
And she wrote me a letter
And I know I can do better
Than to live in the suffer
Finally admit that I do love her
In spite of the wolves that came to my door
When she blamed the earth on what I adore
Told me I was perfect, then took a swipe
I walked the floor in the dead of night
And it just awoke
We haven't spoke
In so many years
And you are the queen of tears
That set the brigade to run
And pull the thread that makes the fabric undone
And I saw you see me that time that I cried
And I put an embargo on emotions that died
When the glass was cracked
It's like the moment you can't go back
And forgiveness rules my soul
But you were the one who fractured the bowl
And I shatter with all the splintered pieces
But there is a moment when the night ceases
And the sun breaks through
And it tells me what I'm supposed to do
In the summer of life
"You will be his wife
In some way, shape or form
You will repair skies that are torn
And find your true calling here
There is something watching over you, dear"
And I grasp and I cling
But this thing is like a sling
And holds me where it hurts
So that I do not make it worse
"Let the pain go
Let the rain show
And when you're done
Then, maybe, you'll know"
They could put me up on a cross And all would not be lost They could drive me down the alley And I would still walk in the valley Of the shadow of death And I would not fear yet For the Lord would be by my side And I would abide As I always am Moving in space without a plan And the heat of the fire is a furnace blast But something’s healed within the cast The broken bone And the heart of solid stone Cracks at the sound of the light I love my Jesus, alright And would follow that soul, that man, that being In the waves of ocean that he’s freeing And all the sheep Are like people that we keep Safe from harm I panicked and he stayed calm As the water raged I took a leaf out of his page When he held out his hand And said you will be grand If only you trust I shake and quake but I must Go palm to palm At first the audience and then the psalm To leave my spirit ringing Tell me what else should I be singing
Taylor’s bringing it home She opened the door when I was all alone And let in a little light I fight it out but I’m alright As I say to the seasons That this love is without reason As I shudder to a halt She lets six more out of the vault And they run riot in the scene She’s painting colour in the dream As the grey gets a splatter of paint I see the One and I faint And on the floor in Room One I know what it is to walk the Son In feet that are his and mine He carries me across the beach that fine Summer’s day in the winter of my life I smile because I am alright
The Jesus in my soul Is a story I haven’t told Coz He is always there A place of true care And I fell in love with men Hoping I would see Him again In moments silent and true I saw reflections in the eyes of you And you stand tall and look like a hero And I’m on my way to absolute zero And I dig the earth Disregard the waves of hurt In ages pulling hence The present moment’s never in the past tense And He is a forest of trees All you have to do is believe And trust when you’re letting go That he will catch you, you know
People seem to want to carve out their little islands Forget about the principles of non violence And childhood dsys We have grown up in so many ways But have we matured Is life just something to be endured Or is it a joy In the story of girl meets boy And cacophony resound Do you wake up when you hear the sound Of tomorrow’s bells And who tells The sun to rise Or a baby to open their eyes In stormy skies What lives on when the body dies Is it the soul And if it is what is the role Of ego, identification with form Do you feel the fire warm The cockles of your heart Is it trouble just to take part In this kind of din And when I walk alone is it with Him
