We run from the rain,
Take shelter beneath buildings
And flimsy umbrellas
Afraid to get wet
As if the rain might wash that which is us
Down the street drains,
More sewage to be chemically treated
Before we pump it through the pipes
To shower over our heads
Safe this time as it is controlled by man
Nature's tears confined,
Man's nature defined.
Blah
Home is a nebulous concept
Fleeting, like a cloud on a windy day
Where you feel most at home
Is where I think you're likely to stay

Some people assign a place as their home
And they never stray too far from that spot
But I feel that it's far too static
And they merely don't give it enough thought

Some people will wander the world
Never settling down in any one place
But I don't think that's for me
I appreciate a familiar face

I can only speak for myself here,
But home is wherever I'm with you
With you by my side I'm content
I hope that you feel this way too

Regardless of where I rest my head
Any place is home to me, if you're there
I can laugh freely, live fully, and relax
Because when I'm with you, we've love to share

Who knew that one voice,
could launch one thousand heartbeats
I wanted to thank you
for being everything
to me whenever
I had nothing to
call my own.

You didn't just
get me out of a "rut."

You saved me
from the empty,
soulless shell in which
I was about to
become.
This is for the people that have helped me and have had my back. I will always be there for you all as well.

Go ahead Darling,
dolly yourself up,
climb up on your platforms,
tighten those jeans around
your nice lady-hips.
Spread some hot pink
on your ruby red lips.
I think you are the bomb!
O let me,
O please let me,
light your fuze
when your ready to explode,
ready to explode
with me.
It's incineration time.
You everything to others.
Sometimes its obviously hard to read you.
I try.
I try, this I won't deny.
I just wanna know.
When will you be you.

Like certain employees kissing up to be acknowledge.
You have that down to artistic art.
Great with the pretense.
Smart with common sense.
I just need to know.
When will you be you.

I'm not afraid to admit we all put on a front.
See it various times within the congregation.
Where we act like we wasn't in the world during the week.
Or others wickedness didn't affect us in various ways.
I just have to know this.
When will you be you.

The person that I know stood out from the crowd.
