Lee’s been sleeping by the tracks
Wonder if she’ll take me back
Walk downtown, shoot the breeze
Killing time before it kills me
Pack of cats, scraggly bunch
Couldn’t help but give em half my lunch
Shoulda heard the way they mewed
The way they just attacked that food
Everyday heroes all around
Walking tight ropes everyone breaks down
Breakdown, break down, everything falls apart
Break down, break down, the walls around your heart
Stace had a kid at seventeen
Learned real fast what living means
Got a job, shrugged off school
Worried no one will think she’s cool
Wipe his nose, kiss his cheeks
Always cheerios beneath your feet
Work real hard, watch him grow
Give him things I’ve never known
Everyday heroes all around
Walking tight ropes everyone breaks down
Breakdown, break down, everything falls apart
Break down, break down, the walls around your heart
Writing all these silly rhymes
In a bathtub in North Caroline
Plane broke down, couldn’t fly
Might be here until I die
I’ve been given something sweet
A fruit from a living tree
The smile on my brothers face
Moments of unexpected grace
Everyday heroes all around
Walking tight ropes everyone breaks down
Breakdown, break down, everything falls apart
Break down, break down, the walls around your heart

Love Goes With Me

I’m standing on a piece of rock
spinning out in endless space
orbiting a ball of gas and flame
my body is just dust and ash
water, mud, a little glass
sometimes I feel fire in my veins
oh but I can feel another thing
beating tiny, fearless wings
alive, somehow, stubborn, joyful, strange
it’s love that animates my bones
a love that won’t leave me alone
insistent, like a child who wants to play
Gopala Govinda Rama
Madana Mohana
I’m sitting in an empty room
I’ll be moving house real soon
Everything around me comes and goes
Somedays all that I can do
Is lie still and feel the planet move
And know that love goes with me when I go

None of This

my heart’s been beat black and beat blue
each beat leaves a deeper bruise
the bruise is the truth bleeding through
this world’s no place for this lonely hunter
oh but none of this is me
I am fearless, I am free
I am floating in the ocean
of your love
I’m armored by instinct its true
like a dog who takes love like abuse
like a fighter who’s paid to lose
but can never feed his aimless hunger
oh but none of this is me
I am fearless, I am free
I am floating in the ocean
of your love
I’ve done all the getting hurt I can do
I chose harder than I thought I could choose
I lost more than I was ready to lose
but I’d do it all over, yeah I’d do it all over
oh because none of this is me
I am fearless, I am free
I am floating in the ocean
of your love

Lillie Mae

lillie mae you’re a spark of light
you can run but you can’t hide
lillie mae you’re a treasure map
and God is a pirate who wants you back
there’s an X on your chest where your heart hides
and anytime you’re in pain it’s a sign
he’s attacking the layers of lies
that have covered your love
over lifetimes and lifetimes and lifetimes
lillie mae you’re a kid at heart
and like a child you will enter the kingdom of God
lillie mae you’re an innocent
it doesn't matter where you’ve been
the world is fire, water, earth and wind
you are love and love is where you live
only your heart can touch the infinite
when ash will to ash, dust will to dust, you will to bliss
when doubt stalks you in the dark
when fear corners you alone
just trace the grooves of your heart
where he wrote his love in stone
when you hear the trumpets rumble
and the walls begin to shake
know that he is calling for you
and he’ll keep calling till they break
let them crumble, when you stumble
he is with you every step
lies are all this world can offer
so treasure failure as success
you will find him in the quiet
shy and patient, sweet and wild
you will find him waiting for you
to run to him like a child
You will fine him waiting for you
Run to him like a child

Butterfly
04:11

I go crawling through the dirt
And every one of my sixteen feet will hurt
By the time I reach that leaf
I've been eyeing since last week
It takes me all day just to cross the road
and any time I could get squashed you know
It's a hard life for a caterpillar
Oh, I wanna be a butterfly
I've been dreaming about that sky
And I wanna live on sips of nectar
I can see it every day
All the ways I need to change
but I know there would be nothing sweeter
I take one day at a time
These little baby steps of mine
Will all add up if I just keep holding tight
Seems like there's danger everywhere
and sometimes I think its not fair
but I know when I get my wings
I'll float high above everything
Oh, I wanna be a butterfly
I've been dreaming about that sky
And I wanna live on sips of nectar
I can see it every day
All the ways I need to change
but I know there would be nothing sweeter
Oh wrap me up in the sound of You
Enfold me like a silk cocoon
And don't come knocking till you see wings
Till you're light enough to catch the breeze
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
On the sound of Your Name
