Story

I wrote this for a group of seekers that I meet with....I may have even uploaded the song to my soundclick if you wanted to hear it

Story

All the paths that we wander down

weaving in and out of the hope that we've found

crawling through the muck in our minds that compound

the stories of our lives that reflect our souls


They tell you lies that keep you beached

but you baton down the hatches and try to reach

a land of promises a fresh ripe peach

the truth about our souls that fill our sails


Your love can open up my eyes

Gives hope that's filling up our lives

We can trust and find out who we are

In you we've found where we belong


Memories of where we came from

emotions of broken dreams that become

all consuming fire you fight not to succumb

to the things you hate that never help anyways


Temptation to relapse and go back

to all the things that bruise and crack

our dignity and knock us off track

what you do is not who you are your are so much more


Your love can open up my eyes

Gives hope that's filling up our lives

We can trust and find out who we are

In you we've found where we belong


Deep down deeper than we've seen

We discover that what we've been

Has nothing to do with our wandering

But a vessel of love for the king


Father be our Father

Mother be our Mother

Hold us close to you

help us love one another

Other Side

This one was written in 1999 and is about my life changing during that time period
Other Side

Truth beyond the known
Wisdom beyond fear
The river runs too wide
The water seems so clear
If you never try
You might never fail
If the world ended tomorrow
Where would you go from here?
Is there some distant planet?
You have your heart set
Is there a time long long ago?
And far far away

(All I ever hear is
The grass is always greener
On the other side
Someone always knows
The truth that opens doors
On the other side
The sky is always bluer
The truth is always truer
On the other side
On the other side)

Fear that closes doors
Beauty beyond truth
The fall that seems to far
The cliffs to high from here
If you never fall
You might never learn
If the music ended tomorrow
What would you listen to?
Is there some distant orchestra?
You have your ear tuned
Is there time long long ago?
And far far away

All we want to know is
Who’s in charge here?
Who is right, who is wrong
And what am I doing here
I don't want to walk in
Another mans shadow
What’s right, what's wrong?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
And all I ever here is
The grass is always greener
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
