Some Sort of Thing

My life is falling away
On some sort of thing
Cast out to sea
Tsunami waves
Of old stories
Towns under water bubbling
Past life debris
My heart is struggling
To feel the scene
People fighting
Over property
I care not for those
In memories
They're just part of me
My tempered soul is waiting
Waiting to love in degrees
My whole life is falling
I'm falling away on
Some sort of thing
Some sort of thing
My life is sailing away
On a submarine set out to sea
Previous sprightly steps
Owe me nothing
In my time of need
I conjure them
But they don’t proceed
My tempered soul is waiting
Waiting to love in degrees
My whole life is falling
I'm falling away on
Some sort of thing
Some sort of thing

Wise Mind Say
Follow my own rhythms
And the tide will take
Me right where I need to be
Wise Mind Say
Sing my prayers out
Into space
Set them free and let grace
Grace, what a gift!
Grace, what a gift!
You bring
Wise Mind Say
Line thinking brain
With heart and make
Something out of this time on earth
I don’t know
I don’t know
How long I’ll be here
Sometimes in the silence
A quiet voice speaks
I'm learning to listen
I'm learning to see
Wise Mind Say
Let people love me!
And the path will shape
Into spaces I’d like to go
There is a light
There is a light
I see
Grace, what a gift!
Grace, what a gift!
You bring

Bottle rockets in the fall
I want to go back to Arkansas
Where freedom sits at the top of trees
And family secrets are mysteries
And shame hides some other place
To be opened at a later date
Let's light a fuse and set the sky ablaze!
Like shooting stars exploding in the haze!
Bottle rockets in the fall
I want to go back to Arkansas
Cigarettes and leather seats
Alphabet games and candied sweets
Are we there yet? This takes too long!
Turn up my favorite country song
And see, what is there to see?
A roof over my head and family
I have angels as my playmates!
I am invincible, I'm not afraid!
Bottle rockets in the fall
I want to go back to Arkansas
It seems something stayed with me
I still smell the smoke in the summer breeze
Let's light a fuse and set the sky ablaze!
We'll get lost in everlasting play!
Bottle rockets in the fall
I want to go back to Arkansas
Bottle rockets in the fall
I want to go back to Arkansas

How Beautiful You Are
04:08

I am sorry in ways I can't explain
I love you forever, I love you in pain
You don't know how beautiful you are to me
I keep trying to save a dying thing
Grief that never sleeps, I'm tired of crying
You don't know how beautiful you are to me
Your soul light will shine bright
Maybe not with me but certainly
In time
I hope one day you'll fly back to me
Heart open wide, ready to receive
You don't know how beautiful you are to me

Home is where I’m going
I’m going home
First flickers I can feel
I’m going home
I woke thinking in my bed
“Why not be home now?” said my head
How are you feeling
When you’re alone?
I’m in love with the sound
Of words in song
I woke up thinking today
I’m alone, but that’s okay
I recall an unfamiliar face
Unwelcome in my sacred space
Those days I was clinging to the wind
Seeking safety, trying to descend
To the ground
To Home
I woke up thinking in my bed
"Why not be home now?" said my head
Home is where I'm going
I'm going home

Poise & Grace
04:22

I’ve got poise, I’ve got grace
Slow and steady wins the race
I let you leave me behind
So I could move in my own time
Hungry ghost, if it ain’t now
It ain’t comin’ anyhow
I’m sorry, I feel so ashamed
I could not refuel your flame
You used to flock in droves to me
When I smiled joyously
Then you would grasp and I would freeze
Did you know you, you were harming, you were harming me?
I’ve got poise, I’ve got grace
Slow and steady wins the race
I’ve grown now, I can contend
Oh man, but we could have been friends
Remember when we were young
It was playgrounds, it was fun
And even when we hurt someone
We cried and then we laughed and then together we’d run
I’ve got poise, I’ve got grace
Slow and steady wins the race
God let us loose in the wild
I forgive you, heavenly child

Fall Awake

Fall awake this evening
In your aching breathing
You are not alone in pain
Lots of us, we feel the same
The only way is through
Yes, it’s hard to do
Fall awake this evening
All your thoughts receding
A piece of you you once knew
In childhood, you knew what’s true
In the center, there is love
We just have to wake it up
Fall awake this evening
It might feel like dying
Fall awake this evening
We'll celebrate our crying
Fall awake this evening
A new you you’re conceiving
Yes, you can begin again
One small step is one big win
We are only human
And doing the best that we can
Fall awake this evening
It might feel like dying
Fall awake this evening
We'll celebrate our crying
Walk through the world with a broken heart, no shame
Let your heart break each and everyday
Fall awake this evening
It might feel like dying
Fall awake this evening
We'll celebrate our crying
