MORE


    Oblivious to some things more in store
    And when I wept I knew not what or when or why what for
    Is this earth so great though it will not last
    Through crashing walls what stands is one good thing one way one chance
    And glimmer shining up and through the floor
    Will run and hide and fade just like He said it would before
    And now my head is really spinning fast
    I lived it all for me and now it simply moved right past
    Seeing, revealing
    More is here today
    Distance, no wisdom
    I pushed true life away
    "Wonderful" have I missed and I ignore
    And "terrible" was my word and was my life I became poor
    Self was in my hands and then it passed
    I'm left with picture perfect thought of what we think we have
    Imagine when I found I'm no savior
    Imagine when I knew and saw and fell before the Lord
    Myself none of any good my world crashed
    I lived it all for me and so it simply moved right past.




ALL PRETTY FOR THE T.V.


    I see the wealthy guy
    The world in his eyes
    He need not contain no pain or shame
    "And never will," I cry
    And I'm a dirty word
    You know I'm so absurd
    If I write things off as meaningless
    So I'm never heard
    Stare and no care into nowhere
    Round and round pounds the sound inside
    We never give it up
    Well, I can never live up and the box won't shut up
    Ground me out without a doubt
    We never give it up
    So I didn't need a book to get the certain look
    now
    Well, I just tune it in
    So this is what it means to live
    And I am really free
    Cause you and me are we and how
    We always fit right in
    So this is what it means to live
    And now I'm turning blue
    Without a thing to do
    Cause I'm wrapped, enthralled and my brain it stalls
    I can't think it thru
    Give me a second chance
    I'll learn your happy dance
    Cause I want to be in, forget the sin
    You'd think I'm in a trance
    Have you got the ears to hear
    And would you draw so near
    Cause it's got things to say and us to change
    You know you needn't fear
    So make your senses soft
    And never turn it off
    Just step inside and join the ride
    Here's our real God.

SO GOOD TO SEE ME


    What is special now?
    Well, I think that I am
    And I see that we all revolve around me
    And what I have in my hands is what I deserve
    There's no better way to be
    I say, it's good to see me
    Now I feel I've given so man, so much
    Well here's my hands
    I want more, more, more
    Can you see that I am tired of being small?
    That's how only you should be
    I san, it's so good to dee me
    What is up and up for you
    Does hold me down
    Stay awhile and see that my words gleam
    You know my mind is tired of the same old sounds
    That's how you wanted it to be
    I say, it's so good to see me.





IN LOVE WITH THE GREENERY


    You said, "I love the world"
    "I love what you've done for me"
    you let my grip go
    And played the piano keys
    Couldn't even see
    Boxed in my a fantasy
    Scared of real love
    You're dead by your destiny
    Now shuffling around
    Shaking like a tambourine
    Confused like the tide
    By every star you've seen
    You took on the world
    It took you by surprise
    Like the day you fell
    And tears fell from my eyes
    Standind so tall
    You said, "Yes I'll salute you King"
    Lost in a forest
    In love with the greenery
    Apart from the crowd
    Never caught looking around for a scene
    Like loneliness you're sinking
    I cried of your sin
    And every other thing that held you down
    Down so far from me
    Take diamonds right now

    But I promise eternity

SOMETIMES CRY


    Don't delay for a minute
    Cause if you do I'll know you're too far into it
    I mean the world around us
    The world around
    To keep your head above water
    To be humble amidst tears and laughter
    Sometimes we need to hide
    Sometimes cry
    Run away
    Far away
    To Yahweh
    He's my hideaway
    Star-studded-super-step
    You've turned around again
    Well I can feel it inside
    In his side
    And I'll tell you what he sees
    But first I must fall down on my own knees
    Let me hold your hand
    Holding our hands
    I need to lower my head
    I don't know if I can
    I've been so lost
    I don't know if I can
    I really have to fall
    I don't know if I can
    I'll say it again
    I don't know if I can
    And now we're losing time
    No, we can't say we never got a sign
    The love is all around us
    And it surrounds us.

DO I?


    She might have been a princess
    She might've been here with us
    Or ride so high and far away
    Is she sleeping safely?
    Is her sky the same way?
    Does she know now my own fear?
    She might've seen the ocean
    If I'd had the notion
    To listen closely and obey
    I don't know love - do I?
    He might have had the stars in
    In his eyes and within
    He might've been my brother now
    Jesus will you hold him?
    Showing that you love him?
    Careless I have been with words
    He should not see the weather
    His joy should last forever
    Please give him reason to go on
    Well is my treasure ever
    Any good if I'll never
    Have the love to give away?
    We might've seen the ocean
    I know I've had the notion
    But I don't know love
    So what's to say?

TRIED & TRUE


    What kind of lies have led your despise
    Have stung your mindsize
    Tried and true no gain
    Yes it's true that things are upset
    Wrapped in substance
    Please call His name
    This sort of drug has got you thinking
    Well I think you're sinking
    And it's all the same
    It's simple now you think you need it
    Well I think it's sickness
    Please call His name
    Blue now thru and thru
    And I see you're gone
    Content in al reason bent
    Please don't take too long
    Another trip, another day lost
    And in whose cost?
    What do you claim?
    Well I believe in truthful glances and second chances
    Please call His name
    Feelings of joy, mindless toy
    Could you get by, and never get high
    Could you restrain, would you complain
    Feelings of joy, life unsoiled
    My Lord gives a new life
    Don't, don't take a long time
    Stop it's always me and me
    Like the other song
    He shines with grace and peace
    So don't take too long.

CRUCIALITY


    Inside my selfish thinking
    In the middle I'm always sinking
    I am so far down I can't escape
    But all around the trees are falling
    Too much sunshine comes in
    And so I wait another day
    What is brightest in my life
    And what will I receive (tomorrow)
    If I'm Spirit filled will I be so content (so content with sorrow)
    Crucial is my mind on Christ
    So much He had to (He had to die)
    Buildings empty, standing tall
    Precious people breathe and fall
    What will you have when all is thru?
    Or maybe then I save the sea
    For other people after me
    Instead I am never living now
    Turn my eyes and to the stars
    Is there life so very far?
    Or better is there any very near
    It is this so understand mrist gave so we can be free
    And will I wait another day
    Is this love?
    Is this life?
    This world's already gone
    This world needs the Son
    But we have so many things to do?
    And so enough of flower power
    Step on ways that make us sour
    We cannot wait another day.

TO BE AWAKE


    Well I'm a happy man
    So will I ever speak my mind
    But I know that we just haven't got the time
    To be awake, to be ashamed, will you?
    This world wants to drown me with the things it's thinking of
    So now I don't want to see or breathe in this place that cannot love
    I would rather lose my life than to ever, ever lose my mind
    But in this world, in this land
    It's our thoughts that we cannot find
    So you see me run away
    And you wonder why I am scared
    Well, I just can't help but think about the things of which we're not aware










PEAPOD


    I've been standing here so long
    I don't know where I've been
    I've been looking around so long
    I don't know what I've seen
    Can I chase away the bluse?
    And will I understand this?
    I been here, there, everywhere
    How can I get back to His side?
    It's alright
    I/ve been turning around so long
    I don't know which way is right
    We've been tripping around so wrong
    I know we've lost our sight
    Can He chase away the blues?
    And will we understand that?
    We've been here, there, everywhere
    We got to get back to His side.










SHINE


    What is it like when it's gone?
    All the day and the night and the sond
    And what seems so real
    Is what keeps us from the dawn
    Truly I know it sometimes
    I see the reasons and signs
    That this world can only turn so many times
    In a simple way
    Though I be so wrong
    Though I turn away
    I know where I belong
    Feelings all around in me
    Do this, do that, and you'll see
    That it's hard to find
    Just what we need where we seek
    I'll say it again that I've tried
    To find the right ways on this ride
    Where we're upside down
    And we still will try to hide
    In a simple way
    Though I be so wrong
    Though I turn away
    I know where I belong
    And the Son will shine
    And the reign won't fall
    And I know inside
    How He loves us all
    Our hands will get so that they
    Can't pull us up all the day
    We need to find that now we have to say.
