lyrics

True love
The promised land
Keep to your word
The wilderness is at hand
Abundant with the fruits of trust
Expectations only pale
Drop them now before the grail
Of nothing more and nothing less
I felt you leave from your first kiss
You are who I’m here to miss
Down below where tears are earned
No one’s a fool whose heart is learned
This is promised land

Listen
Water falling
The constant calling
Of life returning
Being born through wars and burning
The shame and scorn
The violent delay
They quote the scriptures while they slay
The sainted moment, the holy day
Listen for yourself

I remember you, patient brave and true
Never knew exactly what to do

Light as light
Day as day
You as you and
Me as me

Mama
The dreams I have
Keep me drifting
Running threads
To catch my friends in love’s web
The gentle pull, the quiet touch
Felt by all who feel so much
As roads divide, intentions fray
But no one’s ever far away
The dead become us every day
The fountains take my coins away
I wish for hope and gratitude
Things that I can really use
Here below where pain is so abused…
Oh mamma
Oh what dreams

Light as light
Day as day
You as you and
Me as me

Miss you
Very much
I miss your voice
I miss your touch
The passion that flows between
Thoughts of you and what it means
To live for peace is not an accident
See how innocence is spent
I long for you now
With embraces to consume
The degradations that used to
Make me scream till I was hoarse
It took an echo for me to hear my voice
But now I got it on the back of my teeth
Whatever they say has died in me
Was just the shadow of this moment backlit by a setting pride
Just a magnet they can track you by
And pull you in at the same time
I realized I didn’t have to lie
Was the moment I knew
I had your love to answer for and to

Light as light
Day as day
You as you and
Me as me
