Remnants

So this is what it feels like
this is what they mean
to have the things you loved taken away
God is this temporary or is this just a phase
'Cause time drags like eternity these days
Was this worth the calling
I feel so incomplete
I see a vision of trials on the way
Yeah cheers to the good life and all those valued things
and all the simple pleasures I had saved
And this keeps dragging on
Yeah dragging on
Dragging on
Dragging on these remnants of the day
God I miss my wife
I miss her smile, her beauty
I miss the home and love that we made
I miss her sweet face
I miss her scent of love
I miss all our sexy promenades
Well God you give and God You take
You prune those You love and want to save
But God I feel so fragile
I feel so stripped down
I haven't much left for You to break
And this keeps dragging on
Dragging on, dragging on
Dragging on these remnants (here we go!)
Yeah we each owe a death
There are no exceptions
but oh God sometimes this mile seems so long
but thank God for Your SON
who crushed the sting of death
and gave us victory to overcome
Who said life is easy
all that is shit
Oh the things you covet most are worth the pain
to see a life reborn, transformed anew
is worth more than arbitrary gain
So we keep pressing on
but God this is draggin
but I'm pressing on
yeah pressing on
yeah dragging on
oooooooooooh!
Yeah I'm pressing on
Hey I'm pressing on
You know I'm pressing on
pressing on these remnants of the day

American Dream

prodigal son, come home today
you may have found yourself
but is it really you?
true love it spills its own blood for you
son, what you hold today
can turn to dust in the palm of your hand
I've had the metropolitan scene
it wasn't what I was, but rather was becoming
I blew my funds away
I fought to keep up well with the Jones'
forget the american dream
cause she can't take you where you planned on going
forget all these lies you've seen
best to pluck an eye to keep from roaming
I had it all, I gave my world away
I lost it in the fall
I gained my vanity
the earth was mine but then...
It wasn't You
Life, life is a novel
with words I can't seem to pronounce
and I wish, I wish this life was fictional
I'd romanticize all the stress
you can drink your blues away
but they'll keep coming back much harder
try to numb your pain away with crack cocaine
it'll be your father
forget the american dream
no she can't give you what she can't own
forget all these these lies you've seen
when the smoke is cleared you're left alone
I had it all, I gave my soul away
but what have I to gain?
I lost my sanity, she took my love and made me want
for You
all the money, fancy car, crowded bars
they make me want
all the women of my lust, turns to dust
it still makes me want
pop the pill for the thrill or the kill
it still makes me want
the addiction was just friction, so much fiction
and it makes me want for You
Woah, woah, woah...
I've had the american dream
she took my heart and left me empty
she stole my love away
and in the end she made me want for You

No Place Like Home

Reading the bible high on cocaine
its a rush to your head, a rush to your brain
but you don't know, where your soul wants to go.
So you look in the mirror, searching for clues
Its a house of illusions with choices to choose
and you don't know, where your soul wants to go
But there's no place like home
when you find what that is
there's no place like home
and sure as hell ain't this
You're out on the street a prodigal
you're long way from Kansas been out on your own
and you don't know, if there's a yellow brick road
You look to the skies, you contemplate life
got a lifetime of interests, compounded with strife
but you don't know, what you don't' want to be
But there's no place like home
when you find what that is
there's no place like home
and sure as hell ain't this
there's no place like home
and you've clicking your heels
cause somehow you know
its beyond all this
its beyond all this
its beyond all this
its beyond all this
Same old place, same damn town
same old faces who jerk you around
and you don't know
if you're a stone that will roll
If life is a highway, you're still confused
which road you're on, what ramp to choose
and as for home...you're a wandering soul
But there's no place like home
when you find what that is
there's no place like home
and sure as hell ain't this

Stars

I'm jealous of my fathers, the one's who've gone before
absent from their bodies, present with the LORD
O my God, You made heart
O my God, You also made the stars
And what the hell do I know, when you're just the same as me?
You've been locked into your bodies, until you face eternity.
O my God, You made heart
O my God, You also made the stars
Soon I'm going to see YOU
I'm going to walk into YOUR hands
I'll cross that final river, into YOUR promised land.
O my God, You made heart
O my God, You also made the stars
O my God, You made heart
O my God, You also made the stars

Hide and Seek

I want to know You, more than I have before
I want to feel You, burrow deep beneath my soul
I want to love You, more than yesterday could afford
I'm going to find You, and steal you away
and nothing, no nothing could take away all we share
nothing, no nothing, could take away
You tap me to say, hey love, its your turn to find
so I'm closing my eyes, you see me peek, but You don't seem to mind
I'm searching to find true love, but I admit my senses aren't keen.
My love's like a deer at times, it has to move or it remains to be seen
and nothing, no nothing could take away all we share
nothing, no nothing, could take away...
You fill me overflowing with Your LOVE
You fill me overflowing with Your LOVE
Fill me overflowing with Your LOVE
and nothing, no nothing could take away all we share
nothing, no nothing, could take away...

Aline

when I met her I asked in a prayer, is she the one for me?
lovely, fair, I was entranced in a stare, so sweet like a kiss on the cheek
we walked through the park, sat out in the cold, underneath a blanket of stars, there in the dim, connected like kin
I pondered the things to come
she came in my life like air from a breeze, a west wind that changed my course
moving my heart, grabbing my soul, stirring me in my sleep
she is like a storm, growing my heart
every time she kisses my skin or touches my face
I race like a hurricane
I wish we could take the moments we spend, re-live them again and again
one day I'll look back, bask in my youth, from pauper to king I'll have been
'cause life will come and go, a sweet song with each note
and every time i see a star, placed in the sky by Hands that made time
and made one soul from two....I'll think of you
I'll think of you, I'll think of you, I'll think of you...

Feather in the Wind

16 I'm growing up, first car and I think that I know, all there is to me
17 you mess with love, put your hand inside a blazing fire, you're bound to get burned
18 this town's too small, I'm a big fish swimming a small bowl, that I call my home
19 came way too fast, saying bye to all my companions, now a fading past
still, I can't You out of my head
and I can't You out of my mind
because You move me
and all the while I'm making up excuses
to use upon myself
You move me and all the while I'm searching for some answers
I can't find myself
22, I find it's true, I don't always make the best decisions and you can't erase them out
23, she came along, friends at first, but now I'm more than certain
when I stare into those eyes
25, now I'm a man, still I can't quite shake this stirring feeling, I'm just a boy inside
28, we're on our way, blaze a trail, we're moving out to Nashville, if it's destiny
still, I can't You out of my head
and I can't You out of my mind
because You move me
and all the while I'm making up excuses
to use upon myself
You move me and all the while I'm searching for some answers
I can't find myself
looking back on my past, have to say that for nearly each step,
I'm just a feather in the wind.
