Triumphant hands
Evaluate this stone
Chisel and hammer
Carve into bone
A skull, a scar
A scare, a seed
Of hopeful rays
And harmony
The fog of dawn
Is cleared and gone
Assembling the pieces
I built the foundation
Eased into thoughts
A joy of sensation
The wind carves the clouds
Above and around me
This ocean of filth
Is ceasing to drown me
I stand on a mountain
To reach for a star
And each one I find
Gets rid of a scar

Through the valleys
Through the forests
Down the dirt roads
With your two fists
Wrapped around
The grip of the handles
Sunlight burns
Like a thousand candles
Singed, it crashes
Through the glass
Coated, with ashes
You’re going fast
Another bump
Another hill
Another way
To get my thrill
now you’re close to
The finish line
Have you got what it takes
To win the prize
There you rip
Right through the gears
Defying, all that you fear
Are you trippin?

I am this hidden place, motionless within you
Piercing your disguises, growing stale
You know, the ones you defined with trust
Why now put them to waste?
The thick and thin—right through you,
This swollen tension rises. Provisions fail.
Below the grunge, a soul of rust,
Has peeled away down to the bone
Not a sliver left to shed
Corpse identity unknown…
Your fate would soon be sealed,
In the promises shattered
Those scars will never heal,
Until you’re debtless ever after
The lesions drain the lies
Out all except your mouth,
And how they cheer in awe
Witnessing your downfall,
The flames will not subside
When you’re begging on the ground,
Don’t try to climb the walls
The blaze won’t melt their frost,
However there is one way out
But you must pay the cost.

You have some gorgeous eyes
More beautiful than an angel’s
As if you came down from the skies
And sought out to find me, courageous
You have the brightest smile
Even brighter than the stars
Illuminating miles
Crowds eagerly waiting in line
To cure all their ‘osities
And satisfy their ears
The sound of your voice is
So pleasing to hear
You have the greatest heart
Of love and a touch of hope
It’s what’s setting you apart
And what sets you free from the rope
That holds even the strongest back
From following through with a dream
A dream that all others have lacked
But you have completed, I see
I have the best that there is
The person who holds the key
To my heart and nobody else
And you are the reason I breathe
You have some gorgeous eyes
More beautiful than an angel’s
As if you came down from the skies
And sought out to find me, courageous

Forever Skies
Raised hands, closed eyes
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
If you fit the crime,
Will you run away?
Living, breathing device
Would you care to say...
These skies will go forever
But how far will you fly?
How far will you soar?
How much will you try?
How much are you begging for?
Are you there, or are you sleeping?
Do you see the forest weeping,
Shedding leaves like tears,
Rain, wash away these fears...
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
With your raised hands,
And your closed eyes,
Will you ever notice
These forever skies?

Oh, please won’t you count them fall
Crystals like a diamonds shine
Let them sit upon your hand
Watch them leave the day behind
Calling out to you
I’m calling out to you
Waiting now for you
I’m waiting now for you
Why won’t they spread their wings and fly
Let them loose and set them free
Let them soar into the sky
Take a look at you and me
Fell the frost come off their wings
Falling down and glistening
Stand and catch them on your tongue
And listen to the angels sing
Falling down to you
They’re falling down to you
Calling out to you
They’re calling out to you
