Naked in the Sun

She lies down naked in the sun
With an open heart still on the run
She speaks to God and everyone
Words potent as a loaded gun

She's no angel you've been told
Never bought and never sold 
Never tame her, just let go
She'll lead to your forgotten soul 

Children's eyes tell the truth 
She shines inside the whole way thru
To trust her is to trust a fool 
A goddamn perfect thing to do

She's no angel you've been told
Never bought and never sold 
Never tame her, just let go
She'll lead to your forgotten soul 

Angels' tears heal from below 
She'll break the dam and let them go
Up toward your heart they overflow 
You met a long long time ago 

She's no angel you've been told
Never bought and never sold 
Never tame her, just let go
She'll lead to your forgotten soul

Somewhere In-Between

Everyone needs a mirror
Will you be mine tonight?
Step out of the shadows
Stare deep into these eyes

In the center of my mind 
The earth spins freely still 
It's so damn quiet there
It gives me such a thrill 

Stop and go 
Chaos lies somewhere in between 
Ebb and flow 
Gives way to golden rhapsody

The ladder lying at my feet 
Leads me up or sends me down 
Step up to heaven in the clouds
Or down to gold inside the ground

Stop and go 
Chaos lies somewhere in between 
Ebb and flow 
Gives way to golden rhapsody

Be sure of where you're going
God doesn't miss a single beat
You say you just can’t believe
Then trace the shadows at your feet 

Cuz our lives will keep unfolding
The humble speak only what they see
The chaos is your haven
So sit still and let it be 

Stop and go 
Chaos lies somewhere in between 
Ebb and flow 
Gives way to golden rhapsody

Honest Souls

Maybe you and I 
Have never really gone astray
The clear glass walls 
Never would sway anyway

So you hold those hard thin lines
That shame you and speak of sin 
Until you can't light that spark again
Until your mind won't let you win

Honest souls have the hardest time 
Finding peace between the lines 
Freedom lost is always found 
Outside the rules that keep us bound

Bells and tricks and ladders tall 
And therapy that keeps us small 
Are these labels really us at all 
Inside the box, outside you fall

Honest souls have the hardest time 
Finding peace between the lines 
Freedom lost is always found 
Outside the rules that keep us bound

Im swimming in the water now 
Down the river soft and proud
The earth will hold me as I glide 
Into the ocean open wide 

Honest souls have the hardest time 
Finding peace between the lines 
Freedom lost is always found 
Outside the rules that keep us bound
