Rest my child 
On the isle of grief 
On the other side 
Somewhere in between
Sew my eyelids shut 
Teeth beneath 
The tide 
Because none of us 
Will make it out 
Alive

I’m a little sentimental 
I’m a little cynical 
I still have a lot to learn 
About the art of letting go
I might be experimental 
Maybe I’m impossible 
But I’ve seen a little of a lotta things 
I ought to have known

I drowned my child 
While he cried to me 
Pulled him from the tide 
From his misery
I sewed his eyelids shut 
I made sure his lips were tied 
Because there was no chance 
That he would make it out of here alive

I’m a little sentimental 
I’m a little cynical 
I still have a lot to learn 
About the art of letting go
I might be experimental 
Maybe I’m impossible 
But I’ve seen a little of a lotta things 
I ought to have known 
I have seen a little of a lot 
I have seen a little of a lot

I’m a little sentimental 
I’m a little cynical 
I still have a lot to learn 
About the art of letting go

Wrap Me In Your Arms

Regeneration, we need clean birth,
Regeneration, we need peace on earth,
Regeneration, place the King first,
Regeneration, we need to feed the thirst,

We're so angry, so disgruntled, I can see the signs,
That we are in a land that pleads for Christ,
How do I know? Because we all seek what’s right in trying times, 
But we can’t gain it without a guide,
Tearfully pray that we abide,

Toyin, Taylor, Floyd, fill the void,
I can hardly run, OH! RIP Arbery,
McDade, I could cry a brook they call it noise,
I was where Baltimore harbor be, Honestly,
I can understand why my people chose to drown at sea,
I can’t fathom, Why do we pretend that the love of Christ ends when they trans?
I’m a black man and I can’t comprehend why we can’t extend a hand to our women and plan, it don’t make any sense,
We need to be real, we need to show some empathy,
Wisdom from above is not only true, but gently shows the recipe, 
Love selectively is only empty,
My thoughts all over the place, but please locate the centerpiece,

Regeneration, we need clean birth,
Regeneration, we need peace on earth,
Regeneration, place the King first,
Regeneration, we need to feed the thirst,

Don’t call yourself a Christian if you can’t love, 
Don’t ever hope for mercy if you can’t show it,
The only right approach comes from above,
Don’t add further darkness where you’ve been appointed, 

How can I attempt to share my opinion?
I feel like it’s pointless, yet another opinion,
So I focus on the facts, I focus on the aftermath,
I focus on what sustains, How can we bring about true change?

Some things can not be understood but love removes the layers,
Enmity is separation, God's the judge, He’s the maker,
So who are we? Filthy with all our facades,
Show no regard and try play the part of God,
It’s odd, and impractical,
Sinful beings of themselves cannot be tactical,

We all need a better approach,
The new covenant removed reproach,
So we approach the throne of grace,

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
But they mighty in God for bringing down of strongholds,
How can we change the heart of man? That’s what God knows,
I have joy in the midst of all my trials, that’s what God shows.
