Southbound Rhythm
04:17
|
|||
|
It took forever to see what everyone else got so clearly
I know nothing in this world
I thought I’d never be free, You know I thought it would overwhelm me
Underneath and all uphurled
But now I’m singing out with a pack of strings and a southbound rhythm
What happened nobody knows, the which and why remain resounding
Question marks upon my soul
Looking forward we go, down in the thick of a million milestones
Tumbling down the hill they roll
Now, I’m calling you, from the other side
See, I made it through, I’m still alive.
How can a paddy be sown without the cattle and plow to turn the
Field upside upon itself?
Can the seedlings be grown but by upheaval and then replanting
promises of future wealth?

Let The Trip Begin
02:16
|
|||
|
I stuffed my fears into the overhead bin
Without a doubt, no I wouldn’t let them in
Cuz I am getting on this train
I am moving on again
Pull the lever back and let the trip begin
I’m far away from the green and auburn fields
I’ve dodged the lies and blocked the fiery darts he wields
And now I’m sitting on this train
The future’s on the tracks again
I’ve reclined the seat back, let the trip begin
Who could dare say if I’ll be home in time for bed
Cuz no one knows just when the yellow turns to red
If all the magnetism fails
The iron steel betrayed as tin
I’m never looking back so let trip begin
Feels like all I’ll ever know
I fear it’s all I’ll ever know
Seems like all I’ve ever known

College Ruled
03:00
|
|||
|
That girl’s not Times New Roman
She will not fit in the margin line
She’ll not be kept in the moment
Heaven has a storyline
They want her college ruled, they want her put in place
But she will not be double sided, she will not be single spaced
Now she’s going out to run among the saints
In the book of history you’ll find she’s written out a page
All of the lines are open
To transition to a new paragraph
And when the prose to turns to poetry to song and back again
We’ll join the angels, we’ll throw our heads back and laugh

Real Eyes
04:35
|
|||
|
So many times when I look at something
I’m looking through it and seeing something more
A back door to the portal of the true
Is it a part of the microcosm?
What’s the story from the back part of the room, behind the blue?
If you can’t see it, then I’m gonna tell you how
Put real eyes on the things you think are beautiful
Put real eyes on the ones you know are wonderful
Every man was once a boy in flip flops
Every woman had her dreams upon a time
Revolving doors that we’ve been through
So how is it that the mountain climber
Upon the summit is convinced now that he’s small, beneath the blue?
And you'll see him there, just like the moon
When the shadowed path for a moment comes to view
The double door, the spider's web
Take a deep, deep breath and let it get out of your head

Get Together
03:18
|
|||
|
Oh bring me a boat and I will ride down the Mississippi River
Southern Louisiana in Lafayette I’ve got a long lost sister
It’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other
Far away I moved now it’s time we get together
Buy, buy me a bus ticket to Woodstock, Georgia to see my sister
She’s a piano teacher and I heard she’s become a theatre director
We called it Gethsemane Garden
Under the one safety street lamp
Brave enough to tell the story you wish you didn’t have
Saw oneself in two, wove a cord of three strands
Years and continents, turn of events and a change of plans
We’re still friends
Fly, fly to the East and you’ll find me in a concrete tower
Speaking words you don’t know but I, I still sing and play guitar
It’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other
Far away I moved now it’s time we get together
It’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other
Can we set a date for this year? I’ll check my calendar
It’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other
Far away I moved now it’s time we get together

Industrial Park
03:26
|
|||
|
Lord, I can smell your goodness in the greenery
I’ve gotta get back that purity I’ve lost
Cuz I’ve been disgusted with the fruit of industry
I’ve got to get out of this world’s black exhaust
I took the long road all the way around
Bypassed the shopping mall and all the weekend crowds
Where the roads are wide and a man can hear the sound of change
And the steady sense of not having a home
It grieves me to imagine what marvels of machinery
Will fill this leveled mountain space when its done
And the cool wind brings brings a sadness at the change in me
That turns my glance to the ever fixed orange setting sun
When you hit the highway, when you run out of juice
When the blue sheet metal fences forces you to choose
To take a turn, there it will be, a sight familiar, and a nearness suddenly
You’d like to ride a while longer, but home’s calling yonder
So running, you’re running, running, running
You run run run run run...

You Sang First
05:34
|
|||
|
Jesus Christ, you banished darkness, Dayspring
With the coming of your dawn you awakened us to sing
All the reasons that I have to sing are you
You’re the source of all the light and joy streaming forth to song
I will sing the song that you placed in my heart
With the voice you gave to me
And the breath you breathed in my lungs
Let my voice resound with the whole world in bringing you a song
Jesus the Son, Holy Ghost, Father God
Singing thrilling melodies over all your rescued ones
And I can hear you singing gladly over me
It’s the purity of Three In One, in perfect harmony
I will sing the song that you placed in my heart
With the voice you gave to me
And the breath you breathed in my lungs
Let my voice resound with the whole world in bringing you a song
I love to sing your song, I love to sing your song
I love to sing the song that you sang first
Your love for me is stronger than death; you conquered all
I love you because you loved me first
Jesus King of Kings, by your blood ransomed for your own
A people falling down in worship before the highest throne
Singing, “Holy, Holy is Almighty God; Who was and is and is to come in glory”
Forevermore I’ll sing the song that you placed in my heart
With the voice you gave to me
And the breath you breathed in my lungs
Let my voice resound with the whole world in bringing
Let my voice resound with the whole world in bringing you a song
I love to sing your song, I love to sing your song
I love to sing the song that you sang first
Your love for me is stronger than death; you conquered all
I love you because you loved me first

Coffee Break
02:39
|

Mondays are always like this
Coming in, you cannot fight this
Feeling there is something wonderful and overwhelming to do
For one thing, the weekend’s over
And I’ve stumbled upon the two-leaf clover
Of fear and excitement, wondering if I’ve got what what it takes
Before I go any further along...
I’m gonna start this day with a coffee break
Catching up with what the guys are doing before getting down to the grind
I’m gonna start this day with a coffee break
Checking out to let the brain start brewing back into a frame of mind
Every strength that I’ve applied
Is a step toward becoming qualified
For the work I’m busy doing, ruining the amateur inside
For one thing, I’ve learned to listen
And apply the lessons that I’ve been given
In the school of knocks and failures, they all root for me today
Before I go any further along...
I’m gonna start this day with a coffee break
Catching up with what the guys are doing before getting down to the grind
I’m gonna start this day with a coffee break
Checking out to let the brain start brewing back into a frame of mind
Whatever terror waits in the inbox
Whatever lion comes out of the gate
I’ll meet with with grace and courage
I won’t back down from my fate
Because God himself has placed me here
To glorify his name
And what’s a man, a job, a place in time, when the arrow’s taken aim?

My body’s broken I feel unprepared to die
Afraid I’ll never get a real chance, a real chance at a real life
Caught between a past that’s got its guilty grip on me
And a future that welcomes open arms, open arms to more misery
When he comes for me he’ll bear all my grief
And carry me
When he comes for me he’ll touch my disease
And heal my broken body
When he comes for me he’s gonna wipe my past and my future clean
It’s not a tragedy
He will never break his vow to me
See regrets see shame, see me break like a jar of clay
See my forever forgiven soul, treasure that death can’t take away
All my dreams realized when it’s finally seen what I really am
I know that I’m alive in the truest way, in the only way that counts
Who have I in heaven but you?
And on earth there’s nothing that I want here besides you
My flesh and my heart failed
You’re my strength my portion
Now watch me rise up out of the ground
I’m alive!
Watch me rise up out of the ground
I’m alive!

Farewell
05:19
|
|||
|
Wish I could forget how many times I’ve said goodbye
If it’s not you, then it’s me who’s moving on this time
So long, my friend, just remember
When you’re up on the mountain
There’s bound to be some mist on your window shield
When you ride on the ridges
There’s going to be some mud in your wheels
Who knows how long before our paths will cross again
Who knows how long before we’ll laugh again, laugh again
When you broke the news I couldn’t think of anything to say
And now I’m the dirty dog who’s packing my stuff and moving far away
So long, my friend, I hope you know that

Music City Town
04:31

Don’t look at me that way
from your ivory tower
I’ve had a long, hard day
working after hours
I should have known I wouldn’t get too far this way
I should have seen, seen it coming farther away
I’m just a blue collar man wearing a white button-down shirt
Yes, I do clean up pretty good, work the angles and exert
The kind of freestyling, free-flying spirit it takes
To make a living in this music city town
Don’t talk to me that way
I’ve got to work this side hustle
I wish you’d quit the power play
flexing all of your muscles
I should have known I wouldn’t get too far this way
I should have seen, seen it coming farther away
Final chorus
I’m just a blue collar man wearing a white button-down shirt
Yes, I do clean up pretty good,
I’ll check my mood and will convert
The attitudes that would desert
Roll my sleeves up in concert
With the truth that’s so overt
And though I stumble in the dirt
I will come out of this unhurt
Work the angles and exert
The kind of freestyling, free-flying spirit it takes
To make a living in this music city town
To make a living in this music city town
I’ll make a living in this music city town

When The Ice Broke
03:57
|
|||
|
It was a calculated risk on a thin plane of ice
Ridiculously meticulous but the weather wasn’t nice
Solid melts to slush, sincerity can’t take the heat
There’s nothing under your feet
When the ice broke under my feet and I fell through
Thought I packed everything I needed in my sled
Didn’t know I needed you and your acceptance
After kinship cracked apart
It’s a piece of my story I won’t run from it now
Christmas in the wilderness I’ll make it on my own
Idyllic plans but conditions bad I was forced to course for home
Hitchhike the frozen highway, fate will drive us face to face
Pick me up in Moose Lake

Into Flame
06:05
|
|||
|
True, I should have known
The kickbacks disappear when you’re alone
Do you think I’ve grown?
Cuz I can’t see a sprout of what I’ve sown
(You) You hear all the groanings of a heart that is bowed to the ground
(Here) here are the songs of a heart that will wait to hear your sound
And if there be even a little heat in this charcoal pit
Would you blow it into flame?
Dawn, at half past five
The sun has not appeared but you’re revived
Has the bus arrived?
Cuz standing in the cold I feel alive
Fear isn’t nothing but the tiptoe approaching the throne
Dearly beloved singing out for the joy that they’ve known
The arrows come a-raining down, The trackers on the trail have found
The scent of incense left behind by a man who’s newly dressed
The favor of the Lord abounds, Invisible brigade surrounds
And shields the straight-path runner with an alloy truly blessed
He’s my shield, He’s my song,
He’s my Father who’s been with me all along
