VERSE 1
We are paper lamps
We're unlit candle stands
Waiting for your hands
To set our fires alight
And guide our way through darkest nights
We all stand in need
We're sand castles by the sea
And without your reach
It would surely be our demise
We'd wash away in highest tides
CHORUS
But,
Whenever we call you you are there
Whenever we're drowning you're our air
Wherever we look, you are there
Whenever we whisper silent prayers
You always listen you never fail
Whenever we need you you are there
BRIDGE
We are loved
We are loved
We are children of the God of love

Why
do you love us so much
The one
Who spoke existence into existence
Was thinking of you
Us
Little us
Before
Beginnings even began
Look at you!
You can't even fathom it
Begin to imagine
The love that was lavished
On you
They say we drown
In this love
Like in an ocean
How?
You drown in oceans
Because oceans have depth
length and width
A surface to which
One may come to draw breath again
You can't drown
In an ocean
So vast
It ran through your future
In your past
Before there were even paths
To run through
All of infinity
Was trailblazed by love for you
There is no air to go to
In this ocean
Why
Are we
But dust in the sky
Worth lashes in your side?
Worth
The glance
To even be considered
The apple of your eye
When you
Place in us your breath
The normal pattern of life to death
Can't help but go from death to life
For death is an ending
But you are our everlasting beginning
Made to rise by your
Resurrection
God
You are so much perfection
That making us a mere reflection
Makes us diamonds

Don't sing your life in falsetto
Just to reach a higher tune
There's nothing wrong with being mellow
It doesn't mean you'll catch the blues
But maybe rolling along the lines
A flat made you a minor key
You only need a few more notes
To turn it 'round to harmony
But what is music really
But a few notes on a page
Just because you're an old hymn
Doesn't mean you have to age
Maybe this is just too much
To say in just one song
Just because you're life isn't Beethoven
Doesn't mean it's wrong

There was a machine
That cranked and rattled
There was a machine
sputtered and clattered
All questions were battled
Inquiry shattered
A class taken faster
Than all minds could fathom
Discoveries scattered
Fleeing the merciless
Mega machine that
Cranked away
Endlessly tearing
Through anything
Everything that could be thought
Or changed in a way
Now in a void
Empty of knowledge
The machine stood motionless
Somewhat in awe
The only thing
It failed to discover
Was that it could not
Uncover it all

We all write
A sound dreamed in a mind's silent night
A sinking song with chords so heavy
And notes so light
They have no choice
But to take flight
Anyway
We all paint murals
On a canvas far and wide
But our painting is but a pixel
For the picture is bigger
When our words collide

Summer falls to autumn's grip
As skies fade to grey
Green is siphoned from the leaves
By autumn's chilly, windy thieves
A swift swarm of burnt Amber
A growing flame;
A leaf tumbles from a tree
Tossed about the solemn breeze
For from its home it must now flee
To join its brothers
A single glowing ember
A remnant of September
Now lay strewn amidst the others
To be trodden by winter's feet

Where are you
Amidst the trees?
Hiding?
No, not you
You noble valiant thing
I thought you were a king
Not a refugee
Leaping from page to page
From thought to age
Evading the tinkerer's jail
Of memory
Paid ransom by some other script
Take a rest
You've been running for infinity
But you've finally run right into the wrong time:
Yours
Pass into potential's clearing
long enough
For my swift stab
Aha!
"Penned" to paper
Shall we begin
The inked interrogation
To see what lies within, o suspect
Accused of rhyme?

Love anew
Love that lasts
Love the same
as ages past
Spark of interest
Catching eyes
Masquerades
of love's disguise
I've been hit
I'll confess
With the arrow
through my chest
I've been smitten
Through and through
Face made crimson
Nearest you
But this truth
I'll never tell
For this one
Is not for sale
Now I stand
No way to buy
The only one
that caught my eye
Maybe the archer
Made a blunder
This arrow
Burns my heart asunder

Eldredge
A simple knot
It was all I had
My only souvenir
From my travels
I had only worn it on special occasion
And thus
All events of significance
Wrapped up in a few turns
Of a piece of cloth
Eldredge
A simple knot
Maybe the life
I thought I’d live
Was snagged on another loop of thread
And wrapped up forever
Or
Maybe
All that’s needed
Is to tie another

In air we breathe
In air we thrive
The Pale blue shroud
The fortress high
A prison from
the starry expanse
That bears us up
On wings to dance
And hurls
The aerial oceans down
And smothers us
Until we drown
In sunsets
Bathed in tangerine
In air we thrive
In air we breathe
