Ocean

Look down my path
I see a chance ahead
To swim with cautious feet
Treading united waters
Moving with the current
Creating one idea
Joining at the fall of rivers
To make up the
Ocean
The wave's face is big
Possessing all its prowess
Its seemidely endless power
Eventually melts to a common ground
Creating new formation
Sands learned are jostled to anew
Colored shells will flow as one
To make up the
Ocean
Yet deep within the depths
A darkness looms
Withholding all its evils
Its temperature as its testimony
But eyes reach further within
Finding light still lingers
Bright as the color coral
To make up the
Ocean

Captured

Sometimes it will take you by surprise
It's the beauty
That's right before your very eyes
It leaves you breathless
It the middle of this male
That we all live in
It gives us hope through the day
And everything we touch and everything we face
Should be greeted with the love
That will set a steady pace
Giving us the hope and giving us the peace
Between each and every man
C'mon c'mon c'mon
Help me if you can
Conscious
It's always on a constant ride
It leaves you baffled
Trying to see all the sides
Of the picture, splattered upon the wall
As we sift, and we wade
And we name the final call
Tattered
Belly up and belittled
I'm sifting sand
Trying to see throughout these riddles
I'm searching
For the passion to start the show
Let it fly, shoot the necktie
Give yourself some room to grow

Love is the Law
03:15
|
|||
|
I don't want to wake up, I don't want to go to sleep
I dream what I dream, it's a dream that I keep
I dream of a book in a land that I saw
I dream of a book that says love is the law
Love
Love is the law
I don't want to stay here, I don't want to move around
I hear loneliness, it's a torturing sound
I searched for some peace, and you know what I saw
I saw a man with a plan who said love is the law

Wonderful World
03:17
|
|||
|
Love life 'cause it wants to love you back
Take time and learn how to live it
Slow down, you're looking like a spastic clown
Turn around and feel the rhythm
It's a wonderful, wonderful,
Wonderful, wonderful world
Big cars don't really go too far
It's the big hearts that drive the distance
Wrong route, it's causing you to part
So, chill out and have an iced tea

Committed
03:49
|
|||
|
Where do I stand?
When will I land?
Take me by the hand
Guide me to your promised land
I want to be committed
Some will win
Some will lose
I want to be a winner
When I step short and fall
Prop me back up against the wall
To be committed

Stronger

A baby's kick from the womb
Ones life grows stronger
A simple man, with inspiring words
Christ makes us so much stronger
Feel our spirit transcend
Feel us growing stronger
A dire soul yearns for truth
We're growing stronger
A struggled step leans ahead
We're growing stronger
A baby's kick from the womb
Ones life grows stronger
A dire soul yearns for the truth
We're growing stronger

All Christ's Cons
00:56
|
|||
|
Give
A buck
For junk
You ask
We give
A lot of what you want to hear
You
Can say
You want
Much more
Than this
And then we disappear
So
What's left?
Just you
And God
It's much too hard for you to face
Don't fear the night
All Christ's cons

Elvis
03:37

Elvis died on his throne
Being the king couldn't have
Hurt his image much
He was left brained and
Handed Elvis was haunted by
His dead brother who he spoke
To when he was depressed by
Life shakin' and swivlin' across
The stage tender, sweet, just
Love me he made corny movies,
Singing love songs to
Beautiful women who were
Crazy about him pelvis thrust
The camera won't show, the
Action of your hips from the
Waist below rhinestones dazzle
And boots and buckles bewilder
Even the lesser fad of the pelvis
Thrusting master congratulations,
You are the king - worship the dead -
You still reign love me tender,
Love me true, blue Hawaii, your fans
Miss you sideburns, pills booze,
Low budget movies, the king's
Lifestyle Elvis was almost bigger
Than life women swooned him men
Thought he was obscene Elvis didn't
Like either reaction he was searching
For the love that he gave everyone
The quick fame Elvis acquired took
Its toll on his life, involving him in
Booze and drugs that eventually
Killed him I remember the day your
Death was announced watching T.V.
Words walking across the bottom of
The screen telling the world you were
Gone indigo, you go, I go, we all go
And Elvis was just a man who was left
All alone

Captain of the Scow
03:34

I am the captain of the scow
Don't forget to tell me how
And why I have to leave this port
I've got an ugly stash of trash
That I want to trade for cash
I'll bring my junk to you
Can I stop to rest in your town
And bring my junk when you're not around
I'm the captain of the scow
Where is life taking us now
I'm overflowing with dreams of children
I sell it cheap so your land is filled in
I've got the unloved and the homeless women
And broken cities for the old to live in
i'm the captain of the scow
Don't forget to tell me how
And why I have to leave this port

Heavy, Heavy World
03:54
|
|||
|
Louder towns, the sun sets 'round
And people hardly make a sound
To and fro the hot weeds grow
And strangers cling to what they know
Bigger stars, shiny cars
People go to sleep in bars
I touched the greed, and it's not me
I pray tonight for all to see
I can't bear the weight
Of a heavy heavy world
The food I make is give and take
I'll repent for my mistakes
Leave alone this broken home
And I'll grow stronger on my own
Love the weak, and let them speak
The tongue of hope is what they seek
Heard the past go by too fast
If thought is food, let's make it last
