Arise child ep (2009)

If you Can

would you give me the answers i’ve been seeking

been seeking them for hours, hours, hours

would you lead me across this dead horizon

we could call it ours, ours, ours

cause life is a blink of an eye

but right now it’s a car

that i don’t wanna drive

but you, you are a lamb

and i just want you to hold me in your hands

if you can

would you leave me

if i strayed too far from

the places that i came from

would you leave me

would you love me

if virtues weren’t a friend to

the people that i gave my hopes to

would you

cause life is a blink of an eye

but right now it’s a car

that i don’t wanna drive

but you, you are a lamb

and i just want you to hold me in your hands

if you can

Arise Child

arise child and hear this song

four-poster runs ten feet long

hope dances on sunlight’s rays

projected on window panes

and you will see that this is not all for nothing

as your eyes begin to change

and embrace all that i’ve made

let grace creep in corners of your smile

i’ll promise peace but it might take a while

and you will see that this is not all for nothing

arise child and hear this song

Everybody Leaves

the thing that tears us from the ones we love

has different ways of showing up

and rendering us unconcious

whether it was a fancy job

or just a lack of love

between the ones you said

you always looked up to the most

well i was never seein faces

just the backs of heads going to different places

different places

was this the marriage of our youthful days

before we all went separate ways

all went separate ways

sometimes i wonder was it worth the pain

or should i have come to be my age

by making friends with my reflections in the rain

cause i was never seein faces

just the backs of heads going to different places

different places

and you were always saying sorry

as a blurry car drove off with everybody

“everybody leaves”

that’s what they say

“but everybody breathes a brand new day”

but i found that it was harder than i thought

harder than i thought

When the Sandstorm Came

When the sandstorm came

it was all i could do not to cry

at the thought of your shattered wings

that your maker had fashioned

with all of the care in the world

when the sandstorm came

you were right in the middle

caught in the middle

and i couldnt reach you if i had tried

when the sandstorm came

i was right there beside you

and as much as i tried to

forget what you said

it rang like a melody

burrowing into me

ohh

and you and your maker

gripping you tightly

singing you melodies

whispering softly

you are fearfully and wonderfully made

you are fearfully and wonderfully made

when the sandstorm came

it was all i could do not to cry

at the thought of your shattered wings

that your maker had fashioned

with all of the care in the world
