Lyrics:
Verse 1 
In the stillness of dawn, I find my refuge deep 
Not on some mountain high, nor where the wild winds sweep 
But in this beating heart, where all the worlds reside 
Beyond the highest peak, it's here I safely hide

Chorus 
Oh, the arrows may fly, darkness may bend and break 
But the just stand tall, for truth's own sake 
Foundations may crumble, the world may fall apart 
But the wise one walks on, with a steady, peaceful heart

Verse 2 
In every soul's chamber, there's an awakening light 
Shining through the sorrow, burning ever bright 
Not a light to run from, but one that opens wide 
Seeing through the illusions, casting fear aside

Chorus 
Oh, the arrows may fly, darkness may bend and break 
But the just stand tall, for truth's own sake 
Foundations may crumble, the world may fall apart 
But the wise one walks on, with a steady, peaceful heart

Bridge 
From the heavens above, Compassion's eyes do see 
Through the veil of sadness, our tears He wipes gently 
Not with judgment's weight, but with wisdom's warm embrace 
For each soul's a mirror, reflecting His holy face

Verse 3 
Those who play with fire, lost in storm and rage 
Build themselves a prison, trapped within their cage 
But mercy's wind will blow, tearing those bars away 
Even the cruelest heart can find a brighter day

Chorus 
Oh, the arrows may fly, darkness may bend and break 
But the just stand tall, for truth's own sake 
Foundations may crumble, the world may fall apart 
But the wise one walks on, with a steady, peaceful heart

Outro 
So find your refuge, not in flight, but in deep peace 
Where the heart's quiet song brings a sweet release 
For the Lord is awakened, in every soul He dwells 
And in every act of justice, His truth forever swells

Refuge In The Heart

Old Man River

This song, inspired by the Lotus Sutra and the teachings of Devadatta, explores a journey of spiritual awakening and finding truth in unexpected places. With influences from Blues music, the song combines elements of struggle and resilience with a message of hope and enlightenment. The lyrics depict a climb towards wisdom, facing trials and finding strength in vulnerability.

[Verse]
I climbed the mountain high and wide
Found the truth right by my side
In the shadow of the doubters
Wisdom's echo always louder

[Verse 2]
Through the lessons carved in stone
Found a path all my own
With the trials
I stood tall
Learned the rise before the fall

[Chorus]
Oh Devadatta
Teacher of mine
In your wisdom
Bright I shine
Saved the world with open eyes
In shadows
Truth will rise

[Verse 3]
Taught me how to fight the night
Every wound a source of light
With your doubts
I found belief
In the pain
I found relief

[Verse 4]
Lived a life so brave and wild
In each heart lies a child
With each tear and with each scar
I've become just who we are

[Chorus]
Oh Devadatta
Teacher of mine
In your wisdom
Bright I shine
Saved the world with open eyes
In shadows
Truth will rise

King Of Kings

My sentiments about, angry, divisive elections. 

Come what may,
So you say,
It's not exceptional 'round
Here we are now.

Off again?
I'll see you when you stop,
Gazing into broken mirrors.

Some face in that crowd?

Say your last words now,
Before you go,
You who did kowtow.
Cause on the tube,
You know we saw you,
Groveling.
What you stand for now?

No labeling now.
You never really were,
On to something.

Don't claim that you're proud.
All of that noise is just
Quisling whining.
Don't join the big crowd!

Every day,
I wonder if there some
Turning back
From what you did then.

Out again?
I wonder when if I read your name
It's with some mug-shot.

For crying out loud!

Say your last words now,
Before you go,
You who did kowtow.
Cause on the tube,
You know we saw you,
Groveling.
What you stand for now?

No labeling now.
You never really were,
On to something.

Don't claim that you're proud.
All of that noise is just
Quisling whining.
Don't join the big crowd!

He's never been that,
Exceptional round here.
When the bull horn cracked,
He ran to rage and fear!

Say your last words now,
Before you go,
You who did kowtow.
Cause on the tube,
You know we saw you,
Groveling.
What you stand for now?

No labeling now.
You never really were,
On to something.

Don't claim that you're proud.
All of that noise is just
Quisling whining.

Come what may,
So you say,
It's not exceptional 'round
Here we are now.

Here we are now.
Here we are now.
Here we are now.
Here we are now.

Say Your Last Words

"Gone in the Wind" captures the feeling of fading into the background of life, wondering if anything we've left behind will ever be remembered. Through heartfelt lyrics and a haunting melody, J%CO reflects on the passage of time and the quiet loneliness of feeling like a forgotten story. Each line tells a piece of a journey—a longing for connection, a search for meaning, and the inevitable drift of memories slipping away. This song is for anyone who's ever felt like just another face in the crowd, a name lost in the wind.

Verse 1
I used to know the way back home,
Now every road feels cold and alone.
Faces pass, but they don’t see,
Who I was, or who I could be.

Chorus
Gone in the wind, like I was never here,
Lost in the noise, fading year by year.
Just a name, left behind,
One more story no one finds.

Verse 2
I’ve said my words, played my part,
Left pieces of me in every heart.
But time moves on, it doesn’t wait,
Memories slip, like it’s too late.

Chorus
Gone in the wind, like I was never here,
Lost in the noise, fading year by year.
Just a name, left behind,
One more story no one finds.

Bridge
And I wonder if it matters now,
If anyone remembers how,
I laughed, I cried, I fought, I tried,
Just another face in the crowd.

Chorus
Gone in the wind, like I was never here,
Lost in the noise, fading year by year.
Just a name, left behind,
One more story no one finds.

Outro
So I walk on, no need to stay,
Just one more soul, drifting away.
Just a name, left behind,

One more story no one finds.
Just a name, left behind,
One more story no one finds.
Just a name, left behind,
One more story no one finds.

Gone in the Wind

The Weight of the World is a song about the invisible burdens we all carry and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. It’s a reflection on the quiet battles that shape us, the lessons hidden in the struggle, and the hope that comes from knowing we’re not alone.

The lyrics explore how life can feel overwhelming, but even in the heaviest moments, there’s growth, resilience, and purpose. It’s a reminder that every scar, every climb, and every tear leaves behind something meaningful—a story, a strength, or a reason to continue.

This song is for anyone who’s felt the weight pressing down but kept walking anyway. You’re stronger than you know, and the path ahead always holds hope. Thank you for listening. 💙
