HARLOTS MAKE MERRY FOR LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT
IS SURE TO BE TAKING A TURN FOR THE BETTER
STIFLED OLD LADIES FOR LACK OF THINGS BETTER
HAVE BEEN SELLING YOU THE MOST CYNICAL LETTERS
FIREMEN DANCE IN THE HEAT OF THE STORM
WHILE FEROCIOUS VERMIN ENCUMBER THEIR PLEASURE
HAILING THE ANGELS WHILE MICE CARRY MESSAGES
UNDER THE DOORS OF THE COTTAGE WE MEASURE
I'M ALONE
I AM COLD, COLD
SURVEYING THE SCOPE OF THINGS
WRAPPED IN PEACE OF OLD
HARLOTS MAKE MERRY WHILE STRETCHING THE CANVAS
OF PRECIOUS PAPYRUS WHO'S EDGES ARE BURNING
SCANDALOUS PIRATES W/ FREAKISH ARRANGEMENTS
MUST HANDLE THE OPUS OF CLEVER BEGINNINGS
LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT IS NOTHING RESEMBLING
THE PORTRAIT OF FREEDOM YOU DREAMED IN YOUR GROWING
SPANNING THE COURSES OF NEVERS 1/2 ENDING
YOU CRY AS YOU'RE WALKING, YOU SCREAM AS THEY'RE STONING
HARLOTS MAKE MERRY FOR WINTER FLAKES FALLING
WILL NEVER ADD UP FOR THE GROUND IS NOW WARMING
SHAVING OFF LESIONS, THE CHANGING OF SEASONS
THE UPSHOP OF REASON, ANYTHING BUT BORING
YOU'RE ALONE
I AM SOLD, SOLD
RENEWING MENTALITY
WRAPPED IN PEACE OF OLD
CULMINATING FOR A GLORIOUS ARRANGEMENT
THE SUN'S FRAGMENTATION IS NOW CHANGING YOUR SIGHT
PRIOR DAYS SELFISH NOW BURSTING COCOON
MORE ALTRUISTIC THAN CONSTANCY'S MOON
I'M ALONE, I'M ALONE
I AM COLD, I AM COLD
YOU ARE ALONE, YOU ARE ALONE
I AM SOLD, I AM SOLD
ONCE ALONE, ONCE ALONE
I AM PRONE, I AM PRONE
NEVER ALONE, NEVER ALONE
I AM HOME
ONCE ALONE
I AM PRONE, PRONE
VALUING INABILITY
CAUGHT BY ARMS OLD

YOU CAN SEE INTO THE SKY
YOU CAN FEEL THE HEAT OF FIRE
BUT THE CLOUDS DON'T SEEM SO HIGH
AND YOU'RE BORED WITH LAND, SEA, MOON, AND SUNLIGHT
WILL YOU JUST ADMIT THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
LIFE IS NOT A HIGHWAY THAT WE JUST STUMBLED ONTO ACCIDENTALLY
YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS SIDEWAYS, LET ME JUST HELP YOU TO LIVE THE RIGHT WAY
RECAPTURE THE WONDER

THIS TOWN
I'M STUCK IN THIS TOWN
FEELS LIKE THERE'S NO WAY OUT
I'M ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN
THESE JOKES
THEY COVER UP THIS FROWN
THAT I GREW UP AROUND
ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOU OUT
IT'S THE BROKENNESS I'M TALKING ABOUT
IT'S THE LONELINESS
WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?
SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
STICKS AND STONES MAKE FOR STRONG BONES
BLOWS MY MIND EVERY TIME ONE FINDS THE POWER TO ESCAPE, THE STRENGTH TO MAKE HIS OWN WAY...

darkness surrounds all the people around
i see weather i see struggles
problems arise like the smoke in the sky
i see brothers i see mothers
as i look around to hear the voices and sounds
you seem shameful you seem hopeless
let healing arise like the voice in the sky
He says WAKE UP He says MOVE ON
I know that you have forgiven me for all I've done
with sleep in my eyes tears from yesterday's cries
i scream WAKE UP I scream MOVE ON
with feeling i sing for tomorrow will bring
good weather
and the sun will burst through the clouds
and the rain will hit my face
for You embrace all that i am
and you help me where i can't

The other day a man stood up and said "God hates sinners"
He has no clue what he's talking about
He doesn't know the "god" that he's screaming about
I know the God he THINKS he knows
Just yesterday I looked at him and said "God loves sinners!"
He said "You have no clue what you're talking about; if you want God to love you, you gotta work it all out"
I know, he serves a god he THINKS he "chose"
What comes after the Rescue?
Is it over, or does it continue?
Can I help it along?
Or, am I just along for the ride?
What do we owe the Hero
Who's mediating Love can change
The darkest of hearts
And heal the deepest of scars?
I know!

Prodigal Father

The Prodigal Father
Well, I was an elder brother
With a dark heart, but I was undercover
As a loyal son
Waiting for rewards for my good behavior
Confident that I was a competent savior
In need of no one
We won’t be speaking of my little brother
Who spit in the face of our excellent mother
He’s no longer here
It’s all good, because he made me look better
Now my inheritance is sweeter than ever
I won’t shed a tear
Oh extravagant moralistic ways
Will you keep me safe
If I just obey
Oh baby brother, while you are away
Say “hello” to the sinners
Whom you can no longer pay
What’s this news about my brother returning?
He’s no longer a family, nor is he deserving
He’s not welcome now
Why does it look like Daddy is running
Why are my friends and family coming
Maybe to kick him out
There’s talk of unexpected celebration
Of epic proportions involving several nations
This just is not cool
“All these years I’ve slaved” for my Father
“Not even a goat” He did not bother
My Dad is such a fool
Oh extravagant, masochistic Man
Are you not impressed
That I’ve remained straight-laced
But you’re celebrating mediocrity
And I am not impressed
You’re not fit to be thus dressed
(in a robe that bears your crest)
So, I’ll scorn you publically
Even though I am your seed
With a healthy sense of greed
You cannot be so wasteful
With forgiveness, that’s distasteful
Let’s go back to just you and me
Your grace is a paradox to me
How can something that’s so costly still be free?

“Found”
I love you
Will you interpret data for me?
I’m feeling you, I really do
Now tell me what I want to hear
I miss you
Will you inscribe my name on your headboard
Will you recharge my batter?
Sugar from your lips is all I live for
Without your words feeding my ego I’m a dead man
I’m waiting here next to the phone
You’ve got to know I’m desperate for your love
I’ve got a feeling that I’m wasting all my time
Investing in the hopelessness of pride
I’m reaching out to You in hopes to find a way
To make some sense out of my relationships
Any minute now, my darkness will turn into light somehow
I need to find some hope right now
Hey, can you show me how?
Any second now, my night should transform into day somehow
I’m sick of being dissatisfied
Hungry all the time
I thank You
Now that I’m here I’m not looking backward
Now come with me, let’s hit the road
I’ve got a feeling that it gets much better
He found me
Lifted me up and let me start over
In Him I’ve found my identity
Hands to the plow, He let me drive the tractor
But still I fall to the ground
Man, it’s not that easy
It’s neither here, nor is it there
Never mind all the changing factors
I’ve built my house on a foundation that cannot be shaken
I don’t need them any more
No, I don’t need them anymore
`
I’m FOUND in You
There’s HOPE in the VALLEY
