Take Lord Receive (John Foley)

it was the august of the honorable mentions...

Man Caught Fire

Branches

colors

all of the days after
would never be the same
just ask the ones who stayed

everything was scattered
hearts and steel and ash
no one could turn back

they would come with their colors
waving on and on and on
all swept up in the sun now
and moving on and on and on

so would you be the fighter
the giver, the rugged,  the time
for the ones who are left behind

would you be the answer
in the snow, in the sand,  in the wind
for the ones who have yet to begin

they would come with their colors
waving on and on and on
all swept up in the sun now
and moving on and on and on

so there’s your hope
there’s the reason why we are
what we are
so there’s your home
there’s the reason why we are
what we are

all of the days after
would never be the same
just ask the ones who stayed

they would come with their colors
waving on and on and on
all swept up in the sun now
and moving on and on and on
