Rise Like Rain

Rivers dripping from my fingers

From the blood red soil in my soul

We’re all self-proclaimed free thinkers 

With hearts full of unfilled holes 

Peeling back the sunken layers 

Skin and muscle, breath and bone 

Spirit moves in all directions 

Anchored only by a solid soul 

The dawn is born to tearful eyes 

That pour out with our useless pride 

Let flow all of your dirty pain

Fall again and rise like rain 

Move those mountains deep inside you 

Clear the path for all that’s good

Charm the snakes that try to find you 

Yoke the demons like you should 

The dawn is born to tearful eyes 

That pour out with our useless pride 

Let flow all of your dirty pain

Fall again and rise like rain 

Climb off your troubled throne 

Spend some broken time alone 

With all the guilt and shame you own 

Then wash it off and let it go 

The rain brings back the rivers dry 

And resurrects what stays alive 

The clarity brings back the shine 

We thought we lost with passing time

The dawn is born to tearful eyes 

That pour out with our useless pride 

Let flow all of your dirty pain

Fall again and rise like rain 

Dirty Pain

Climb off your troubled throne 

Spend some broken time alone 

With all the guilt and shame you own 

Then wash it off and let it go 

The dawn is born to tearful eyes 

That pour out with our useless pride 

Let flow all of your dirty pain

Fall again and rise like rain 

The rain brings back the rivers dry 

And resurrects what stays alive 

The clarity brings back the shine 

We thought we lost with passing time 

Go Gather Bones

Go gather bones

After falling from your little throne 

Search the deepest place you know 

And build yourself a home 

The soul you always knew 

That’s waking up inside you 

Calls for you to start anew 

Build a life from its point of view...

Once again

Behind These Kind Eyes

I have an imperfect body 

And a delicate mind 

My soul shines like fire 

Behind these kind eyes 

As I ride on the water 

On waves that will pass 

The shield on my heart 

Will shatter like glass 

My heart’s taking flight 

While my soul stays to keep 

We’ll sing on the wind 

As we ground both our feet 

My eyes are like your eyes 

Our hearts intertwined 

Our souls, they will guide us 

Your hand held in mine 

Gossip

Open hearts and open minds 

Don’t leave their fellows far behind 

Or speak to them with judgment’s eyes 

Or point out faults they try to find 

Gossip still and gossip mean 

The gossiped one will soon come clean 

But gossipers will always lose

By just the words they choose to use 

Shame and Chains

Shame and chains

Forgotten precious things 

We knew before we fell 

So much pain that still remains 

By fear that we can’t tame 

Tethered to relentless dreams

I can never look away 

All that burns inside 

Tells me stay 

Always to stay
