The Tempest

Grievance to attack 
A mind fighting back 
Brought up with its norms 
A mind detecting the storms 
Or some valor 
A statue of itself 
Projecting outward in its manor 
In an atmosphere 
Presenting glamour 
As time pitter patters 
The choice between peace 
Or disruption  
Comes from the belief 
In our own thinking 
Grievances darken your mind 
A call for righteous judgement 
Is the attempt to correct 
The attack on its premise 
Tainted with environmental hysteresis 
Embedded in our social structure 
A trojan horse that is mustered 
Acceptable to the reactions 
Of some bluster 
A meditative note 
Not some sound that’s 
Rasping from a throat 
A clear harmonizing vibration 
Setting our thinking into 
The tranquil elation 
The ability to visualize past 
All the normalization 
And the subjugation 
From a state and its rationalization 
Of its own belief in the obligations 
Of our creations 
The ability to move free 
Free of the thinking  
Inside me 
My best thinking 
Keeps me a prisoner of time 
Vulnerable to what is not sublime 
A sublime mind 
Can escape time 
It doesn’t need valor 
Or righteousness to correct 
What is mine 
Free of the reaction 
Of my thinking 
The ability to know joy 
Beyond its form 
To behold a loving soul
Propagating through space 
Transmuting the human race 
The experimenting  
Of my thinking 
Is objectively 
Stunningly 
An attempt to sit and say 
“I will there be light” 
As we pray


My Clarion Moment

[Verse]
Horizon stretched quiet no end in sight
Footfall softened in morning's light
Breath steady pacing a calming tone
Not walking alone never alone

[Chorus]
With the Lord each step feels whole
Boundless peace carries my soul
No road too long no storm too strong
Walking with Him where I belong

[Verse 2]
Shadows fade in His steady glow
Path winding yet He leads I know
River whispers truth in its silver bend
Each turn an echo of beginning to end

[Bridge]
Feeling Him closer the weight not mine
Every burden lifting like dawn’s first shine
Hands unseen but holding always
Through the bramble through the haze

[Chorus]
With the Lord each step feels whole
Boundless peace carries my soul
No road too long no storm too strong
Walking with Him where I belong

[Outro]
Feet on the earth heart in His sky
Each step forward leaves the fear to die
Not just the miles it’s the way He shows
Walking with the Lord forever it grows

Walking With the Lord

Love Me Sober

 Head Down / Heart Up

Couldn’t keep my dreams alive
Couldn’t draw a clean line
Couldn’t rewind, Too late
So much for fate
So much for “feeling the break”

Now I just wanna break free
Drive until the tank’s on empty
Baby don’t tempt me, But I won’t leave
Not without you next to me

Staring out the window
And wishing we were some other place
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
Our “ever after” keeps on getting away
So we’ll ride into the sunset
And yeah it feels like running away
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
I heard her say:

Turn your head down / heart up! (x4)

I know we didn’t plan on it
I know that in the past I’ve been
The kind of man who can’t commit
And you can’t just sit and wait for my lead
But maybe I’m changing
I got these lines on my face
And baby I’m failing
But I’m sailing on with two heartbeats next to me

Staring out the window
And wishing we were some other place
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
Our “ever after” keeps on getting away
So we’ll ride into the sunset
And yeah it feels like running away
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
I heard her say:

Turn your head down/heart up! (x8)

We’re heading out, the open road
We’ll figure out nowhere to go
No time to dream 'bout growing old
You’re tied to me, I hope you know

Turn your head down/heart up! (x8)

Lyrics

[Leonard Cohen voiceover; "I just got off here, and somebody spoke English and I rented a house for fourteen dollars a month, I met a girl, and I stayed for eight or ten years. And somehow... Marianne came into my arms."]

Love of mine
Hydra calls you home
With every word and every line
We never really owned

You’re the guide
The parts that make the sum
No constellation ever shined
Like Hydra now you’re gone

These boats, will carry us
’til these waves, deliver us
To bodies, we once knew
now we’re almost older 
Take me back to Hydra
Give me back my youth
Take me back to Hydra
To bring me home to you

Crystallised 
Footprints at the door
Still leave a sound I recognise
Of a friend I knew before

These boats, will carry us
’til these waves, they deliver us
To bodies, we once knew
now we’re almost older 
Take me back to Hydra
Give me back my youth
Take me back to Hydra
Bring home to truth
Take me back to Hydra
To bring me home to you

These boats, will carry us
’til these waves, deliver us
To bodies, we once knew
now we’re almost older 
Take me back to Hydra
Bring me back my youth
Take me back to Hydra
To bring me home to you.

[Leonard Cohen Voiceover; "I think that everybody lives the life of the heart, and everybody knows what its like to... to crack up. And I think we cherish that in our singers when they manifest that, and those experiences in song"]
