Dreamin of sunset roses
Listenin to an ancient tree
It’s singin me a song of angels
Reminding me that I am free
To live
Hope
Love
Trust
And grow
Sing
Be
Who I’m made to be
Walkin toward the light of tomorrow
Listenin to a gentle breeze
It’s singin me a song of angels
Reminding me what I can be
If I
Believe
The dream
That he has given me
Just reach
For sky
Never askin why
Dreamin of sunset roses
Listenin to an ancient tree
It’s singin me a song of angels
Reminding me that I am free
To live
Hope
Love
Trust
And grow
Sing
Be
Who I’m made to be

The Sound

As the circus leaves town
Get familiar with my sound again
I can breathe again
when I bury the clowns
Don’t know where I’m goin
I only know today
I’m tired of all the diggin
Through yesterdays wake
As my eyesight fades
Things are getting clearer
As wisdom reigns
My dreams are getting dearer
As I grow in faith
I no longer fear it
As I find my way
I can finally hear it
Don’t give me no clichés
Just tell it like it is
I aint here to fit
Into another mans game
As my eyesight fades
Things are getting clearer
As wisdom reigns
My dreams are getting dearer
As I grow in faith
I no longer fear it
As I find my way
I can finally hear it
If I’m gonna find my place
I gotta step outside this – rat race
I gotta breathe again
Rest in my Father’s grace
When the circus leaves town
Get familiar with the sound again
I can breathe again
when I bury the clowns

Ragamuffins & Prodigals

If I don’t jump in real soon - I’ll just keep on runnin
Take another lap or two – write a song or somethin
I just wanna chill – with the Ragamuffins and prodigals –
I swear I’ve had my fill – of hubris and self righteous fools
A winding weathered road we run – we learn along the way
Layers deep our fears can run and its only love that breaks – the chains
Break the chains
Resting in the arms of love – why’s it so damn hard
To let the love come shinin through - and burn that angry farm
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Some say you gotta dig – and jump through all the hoops
Gotta find out what’s gone wrong inside – gotta get down to the root
Well the root is far beyond my reach so Jesus took my breach
My hope is built on nothing less then Jesus blood and righteousness
I will rest
In His righteousness
So I’m just gonna chill – with the ragamuffins and the prodigals
Real love will find us there – cuz He’s the one who cares

That Tree
05:36

I Wish I could sing to you a lullaby
I wish I could tell you it's all right
I wish I could find the simple faith of a babe
I wish I hadn't eaten from that tree
I'm overwhelmed by the urgency
and then I just have to breathe
can't catch the words that I need to speak
just have to say what I see
Chorus:
Here we are many miles down the road
still livin lies we been sold
like a walkin bird
don't know that he can fly
still eatin from the tree
- that's why
Father warned
liar lied
didn't take long to decide
and still today we play the game
we think we're free in these chains
Chorus:
Here we are many miles down the road
still livin lies we been sold
like a walkin bird
don't know that he can fly
still eatin from the tree
- that's why
I Wish I could sing to you a lullaby
I wish I could tell you it's all right
I wish I could find the simple faith of a babe
I wish I hadn't eaten from that tree

The Unity of Denial
05:39

People walkin round like it’s all ok
They don’t wanna know what’s on the way
Resting in the arms of illusion
Singin holdin hands with confusion
The unity - of denial
When fantasies and clouds are all gone
Get down on your knees and draw some
The strength we need – is not our own
CHORUS
Roll it up make it all go away
I don’t wanna see this on your face
Focus on all that’s good and true
But I see things
I see things
I see things
I don’t wanna know
Swimming in the pot with the poison
Feelin pretty good but it’s all wrong
Everything - you think you know
It’s covered from the top to the bottom
Anticipatin’ thoughts if you got em’
The enemy – is on the prowl
CHORUS
Jesus help us through this nightmare
Hard to tell the wheat from the tares
Reel us in – set us straight
Your Kingdom come on earth be done
Your will as in Heaven
But for now – we eat our fruit
CHORUS
People walkin round
People walkin round
People walkin round like it’s all ok

Beyond My Sight
06:39

The strategy of my wanderings
Lies in the palm of your hand
The tapestry of your weaving
Lies beyond my sight
A drive along the freeway
Yields emotional flow
A rush like a rainbow
As I navigate the trail of tears
A perch among the rooftops
A breeze through the trees’ hair
Breath of life keeps me wondering
And wandering through a life prepared
The strategy of my wanderings
Lies in the palm of your hand
The tapestry of your weaving
Lies beyond my sight

Spring-like Clarity
05:35

Tuck my heart away
Cuz I don’t wanna cry
I see many things
Growing into troubled times
But then I look away
To spring-like clarity
My King remindin me
That I am in His hand
Sometimes it’s hard to pray
With this overwhelming weight
Seems like forever
For a while
But then I look away
To spring-like clarity
My King remindin me
That I am in His hand
~ Guitar break ~
The deeper in I go
The more I wish
I didn’t know
Simple faith gets
Hard to find
Love don’t wear a smile
Everyday
I wear it on my sleeve
The burden
I taste
But then I look away
To spring-like clarity
My King remindin me
That I am in His hand
