When I came back
The strange was all I knew
It was my day and night
I thought, “They no longer know you”
But do I know them?
It seems I do not
It takes a God
To understand what a human cannot

~I know it’s true
I’m going to die someday
There’s only a few more hours
Looks like I’ll make it through the day~

When I came down
I tried to talk about it
But nobody understood

~I woke up this morning
Just like I thought I might
Now I’m wondering again
Just like I did last night~

One day you’ll turn your heart around
And your veins will stop the burning madness
And as you let the flowers in your garden grow
The butterflies will begin to ride the cool breeze

~Yes it’s true
I’m going to die someday
I wonder if anyone will remember
It’s so easy to forget yesterday~

When I walked away
I tried to sing about it
But they wouldn’t listen

~I don’t like thinking about it
I’m not sure why I do it so much
It seems everyone’s laughing
But I know that’s just a crutch~

One day you’ll turn your mind around
And your thoughts will turn to gladness
And as you let the soft winds blow
Your children play in the caressing seas

~I don’t like to pretend
I know life isn’t fair
It’s something I dwell on
My ego is no longer there ~

When I woke up
I tried to lay back down
But they wouldn’t let me

~I live in the waiting room
While others run free
I have to take things on faith
There’s not enough time to see~

One day you’ll turn your life around
And your pain will turn to forgiveness
And as you let the world around you know
You finally fall to your knees

~Everyone is a seeker
But is it for God or themselves?
They know not what they do
They reject the fishes and loaves~

What I thought
I tried to forget
But they kept talking

~Did I listen to my Mother?
She tried to give me a key
I could only lock her out
It was only about me~

One day you’ll finally come around
And your actions will turn from selfishness
And as you let the love inside you show
You finally beg her please

~I used to hate work
Now it’s where I live
It makes me feel safe
As long as they like what I give~

When I ran
I tried to slow down
But they wouldn’t stop

~I see denial all around
As people swallow their mortality
It kind of makes me wonder
How they can ignore reality~

One day you’ll turn your heart around
And your mind will stop its restlessness
And as you let the calm inside you flow
The sign on you finally says peace

~Where did I go wrong
Or am I in the right?
It’s so hard to know
I’ll never be Christ-like~

When I came back
The strange was all I knew
It was my day and night
I thought, “They no longer love you”
But do I love them?
It seems I cannot
Sometime it takes a God
To love what a human will not
