daily reminders

To be zealous and not stressed,
concerned and not depressed,
to be cool headed, but not apathetic,
not foolish, but fearless,
solid, but not tearless,
to rid my mouth of all complaints and slander,
to always speak with love and confronting candor,
to be happy with all good,
and vexed with all wrong,
to be meek and still strong,
to respect but not sell out,
to reason but not doubt,
to laugh when the time is right,
to smile kindly often, not angered with what is trite,
to spend less time enclosed,
and more time in the light,
to head advice then make a choice,
to see the needy and be their voice.

blame

Do you wonder, if God meets,
with the slave, across the street,
I had thought, to check it out,
but then I wanted something sweet,

how dark this world, how bitter the cross,
don't faint, draw near,
God shines love out of loss,

we sit outside, and judge the pain,
with our own concepts, of suffering,
we feel called to give our part,
that is at least, until, we feel something,

how dark this world, how bitter the cross,
don't faint, draw near,
God shines love out of loss,

catch the train

I'm going down into the city,
and I'm a taking someone with me,
She's the coolest gal I know,
--She's special.

Rata ta ta ta ta

(guitar)

hop, on, to, this train,
I hope we ended up running - in the rain,
take, off, your walking shoes,
feel that sand, feel loose,

(drums and snare)

Back by midnight, to get you home,
Marry me baby, Marry me,

(guitar and drum heavy jam)

deep

there's a whole in the wall,
there's horse in the stall,
there's lady about 5 foot,
with thick Southern drawl,

There's bright shiny gold,
A come back to be told,
There's a pulse,
and it pulls me, something powerful,

mmm, hmmmm, mmmmm,
mmm, hmmmm, mmmmm,

there's a ditch to be dug,
relatives to hug,
it's strange how these things,
remind us of love,

There's thoughts to be lost,
there's counting the cost,
I think diamonds hurt less,
when there still in the rough,

mmm, hmmmm, mmmmm,
mmm, hmmmm, mmmmm,

when the blood has stained,
you can do everything,
but as deep , as you dig,
your hands smell the same,

when the blood has stained,
you can do everything,
but as deep , as you dig,
your hands smell the same,

hardcore prompt

They haven't sent me my money yet,
but someone's knocking at my door,
I won't get draged down by this bull,
my eye's are fixed on something more,
I'm sure I could be "suscessful",
wouldn't have to be lonely or poor,
But when your hearts filled with passion,
you can't help but be hardcore...
