Hunger

I got hungry
No food in my house
I thirsted, thirsted, thirsted
No water not a drop
So I set out on the road to find...
Home held but want and need
An emptiness I had to feed
Weak of mind and in my soul
All I had was what I stole
(No one to confide, no one to provide...)
On the road were friends, foes, and thieves
Passing by with their needs
‘Til one day I saw in the open sky
The promise to be fed and to fly

Pool

Pool
I was lost, couldn’t find, couldn’t see
And the truth was light—fell on me
...of light, of water, of blood
Is what I had to find
To fall into, restore my state
Of hope, faith, and dreaming
Things I’d turned away
And didn’t know would lead me home
I was lost and on the gift of love I traded
Cut my heart and in a pool of blood I waded
...of light, of water, of blood
I was baptized, restored my joy
And filled me up with
Hope, faith, and dreaming
Things that once were mine
And faded like the sun gone down
Nights were long, but there were stars always reminding
Nothing’s lost, it’s never dark enough to stop love shining

High in the desert sky the sun is bright
Land so dry sand is all that thrives
Sky will never rain again never open wide
A seed lays hard against the ground... never lives but never dies
I wait for tears like the desert waits for rain
I know when they come, I’ll grow like a forest in the sun
I wait for you like a lover waits in vain
For the one that glows the moon and shines the sun...
No matter how long I will wait, it’s the laughter
When all the tears have cried that I’m after
To grow and grow and grow
Is what I’m after
No feeling where there used to be
where I used to feel the most
thought I was stronger
Wide eyed and waiting
to see a miracle
jaded heart and diamond feet
Feel something and so I’ll speak
lost dreams lost loves
miss-steps and wrong turns
And so many, so many tears

I am waiting on a man with a heart like a boy
Not the dangerous kind, killing flowers of joy
Whose way is of peace and whose stand is at ease
I’ll keep waiting until all hope runs to sea
I am praying for understanding too
‘Cause I don’t know as much as I think I do
Oh I run so hard got to learn to be still
Trust that there is a plan, let things do what they will
Victor waiting on you with your heart pure as gold
Not the dangerous kind that gets bought and sold
Your way is of peace and you stand so at ease
I’ll keep waiting until all hope runs to sea
We like heat from the fire, but we play too close
With the blade of a knife, cut as deep as it goes
Still love grows strong, in spite of all it carries on
Like a stream to the river, like the river to the sea
I’ll keep waiting until I know you are for me
I’ll keep waiting until I am truly free
I’ll keep waiting until all hope runs to sea

Keep Me
03:57

When trials and troubles come
I draw on the strength of love
It keeps me and holds me, helps me stand
Though winds blow and rain tumbles down
Even when light from the sun fades away
Keep me warm
When night and sorrows come
I rest in the thoughts of the dawn
It keeps me and holds me, helps me sleep
No matter what dreams won’t come
Even when I in despair turn away
Keep me still
Keep me when I won’t believe the truth
And blot out the sound of its voice
Keep me when quiet is too loud
And all I can hear is fear and doubt
When trials and troubles come my way
I call on a strength from inside
It keeps me and holds me, helps me stand
Though winds blow and rain tumbles down
When the warmth from the sun bringing life fades away
Keep me
Keep me
Keep me in love
