PRINCESS
(It was all a lie)
It was not my first time
I was looking for a sign
I think I located a mine
I went for the entire pie
She said she’d walk with me another mile
We were only about knee high
It wasn’t really hard to climb
The whole thing only cost a dime
I thought about my how it wasn’t right
And how the sucker-punch feels the next night
I never stick around to hear their cries
I only got what I needed that night
It’s so much harder when they’re awful kind
Sincerity from hearts to mine
Paying back with a deceitful smile
And a couple of clever lines
She’s worth much more than all of this
(Sometimes you’ve got to guard your heart)
She doesn’t know why she exists
(Sometimes you’ve got to search your heart)
Oh God, I hope that she’s alright
(She’s living with a broken heart)
Her worth is more than she can know
(I pray that she will not lose hope)
(Several years have past)
And now I have one of my own
And she is almost grown
She’s always talking on the phone
And making eyes as she wiggles her toes
I found a letter from a boy last night
It said that she was looking really fine
And then he asked “hey, would you be mine?”
He seemed like a guy I used to be like
He said I heard about a place we can go
where no one will ever know
She said “I know of a place you can go”
She said “There’s room at the back of the line”
As she walked away she felt fine
That kind of guy is such a waste of time
This kind of girl is hard to find
It’s unbelievable that she could be mine

I went walking around after the lights went out
I caught God up to speed in all that I thought He’d missed
I had a thought that went through me, but it vanished as fast as it came
but I reached out, and caught it by the tail
I’ve been questioning God as long as I’ve known how to sing
Now I’m up to speed in all that I think I know
The Spirit of God, He went through me, but I tried to run away
but He reached out, and caught me by the tail
This wind, I can feel it, feel it on the inside
Take root, I want it!
I’m ready for it!
Let us usher in Shalom
Bring Peace into this place
This world is not my home
This planet is not my resting place
I think that we were made to make things right
I think that we were saved to join the fight
I think the night is frightened of the light
What if we are standing in the way?

RUN FOREVER
Jason Slajchert, 2010
[V.1]
We’re pounding eyes like they’re nine
And they’re playing nice like they’re twenty-five
It’s rather shrewd to be kind
only to twist words into a vine
I’m reaching out cause I’m fine
I left my name far behind
I wonder what happens when we die
Can we sneak past to the front of the line
[PRE-CHORUS]
I’m going to run forever
Cause I am afraid of honesty
We think we’re important
so we can’t escape our false security
(so we buy into superiority)
[CHORUS]
We’re trying to figure out who on Earth we are
And we’re not waking up, we’re not waking up clued in
We’re trying to figure out how we’ve come this far
But, we are holding back
We are holding back from the people we should be
[V.2]
We’re hooking up like we’re slime
I’m treating her like she cost a dime
She only with me to grind
I’m only trying to remain blind
What if one day just in time
My prayers were answered, but w/ a knife
that cut me straight to my spine
Finding a place that’s never seen light

Want You Here

You are the worst candidate anyone could’ve ever imagined
Far from the latest fashion, who would’ve guessed that this could’ve happened
The wise now celebrate their foolishness!
The blind now have eyes that can see!
You are the best solution that anyone could’ve ever imagined
Far from the latest fashion, you’re alive with the thundering caption:
The lame are running down the street!
The bound are finding that they’re free!
O-o-oh,
I want you here with me
I want you here with me
I was the worst candidate anyone could’ve ever imagined
Fitting with the latest fashion, I was surprised to see everyone laughing
My pride was dripping to my feet
The price was finally complete

Isn't it nice I can see myself in your eyes
I was so lost without sight
Isn't nice you can see that I had not died
My hands aren't quite as cold any longer
My whole body's getting warmer
Married into money
I know that they don't love me
Wanting to be wanted
I thought that you couldn't love me
I found out that sex cannot replace
all the missing parts that have been erased
You pursued me with your fire eyes
then you cut me down to size
You will never let go of me
I will never let go of You

I am not known for my philanthropy
I’m rather into my own business
But there’s a ringing in my ears
It’s the voice of humanity
They are calling out
No one is alright
They’re still in the fight
Don’t turn out the light
I’m in the way
Let’s get out of the way
Let’s start today
What do you say
