HOLY H2O

every-time i drink water
i taste my heavenly father
for sure
yeah something clean
and purely
for me
as though i was flowing in the sea of Galilee
or jumped in Niagara Falls
yeah i wish i could drink it all
but i can't
because i might break the tank
which is me
but honestly
i need all i can take
to wake me up
like a cup of coffee
does most people
but i want the steeple
in liquid form
ooo, that taste nice and warm

THE ALMIGHTY UNIVERSE

HEY TODAY
YEAH HEY BLUE AND GRAY SKY
PLEASE DON'T PASS ME BY
BECAUSE I DO HONOR YOU
WITH MY BREATHS
AND MY LEFT HAND
ON THIS LAND OF QUICKSAND
BECAUSE OF MANKIND
BUT STILL THE SUN SHINES
WHICH WILLS ME TO RHYME
IN THE TIME I HAVE
YES, I TRY TO GRAB...
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT
YES, I OWN THEM
SINK OR SWIM
FAT OR SLIM
BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN ACCIDENTS OR WHIMS
SO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT
OR GO DIM IN THE NIGHT
I TAKE FLIGHT LIKE PLANE OR KITE
BECAUSE MY EYESIGHT IS...
ALRIGHT
BECAUSE OF THE LOVE
FROM UP ABOVE
YES, THE ALMIGHTY UNIVERSE

BE BLESSED AMERICA

I REALLY LOVE OUR AMERICAN FLAG
BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY HEAVENLY DAD
AND IT'S SAD THAT OTHERS DON'T FEEL THE SAME
BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE US OUR FRAME
OUR NAME
AND OUR GAIN
BUT STILL MOST ACT LIKE HIS WELL...
WAS IN VAIN
WHICH IS A SHAME
BECAUSE HE GAVE UP HIS SON
SO IT WASN'T A GAME
FOR HIM
SO WE SHOULD ALL SWIM
YES WE SHOULD ALL MOVE
TO A MUCH HIGHER GROVE
BUT NOT TO PROVE OURSELVES
BUT TO THANK GOD FOR OUR BREATH
YES WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS LEFT IN OUR DAY
WE SHY THANK YOU
AND LIVE IT HIS WAY
YEAH THE TRUE DEFINITION OF GAY
WHICH IS CAREFREE
BECAUSE TRUST ME
HE CAN SEE
FARTHER THAN WE
SO BE BLESSED AMERICA

WE ALL NEED

WE ALL NEED TO READ
AND WE ALL NEED TO PLANT SEEDS
YES, WE ALL NEED TO GROW
BECAUSE THIS WORLD IS DYING SO FAST
AND WE AS A PEOPLE WERE CREATED TO LAST
WAY PAST OUR PRIME
AND WITH A SOUND HEART AND MIND
SO YEAH REALLY DEFYING TIME
ON EARTH
YEAH BECAUSE ONCE WE KNOW OUR WORTH
WE CAN DO THAT
UNTIL CHRIST COME BACK
ON EARTH
YEAH TO CREATE A NEW BIRTH
BUT FIRST WE ALL NEED TO THIRST FOR MORE
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN A WAR THAT IS KILLING US
YES MINUS NOT PLUS
BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY SEEM TO TRUST
GOD
SO LIFE IS ROUGH
LIKE SANDPAPER
BECAUSE PEOPLE HATE YA
JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN
WHEN WE WERE ALL SENT HERE TO LOVE
FROM ABOVE
YES LIKE A HAND TO GLOVE
BUT MAN WENT AGAINST GOD'S PLAM
AND NOW HERE WE STAND IN QUICKSAND
BE WE CAN STILL WILL OURSELVES OUT LIKE SPOUT

HANG 10

my heart feels sad
but that's not a bad thing
because GOD brings me wings of grace
that taste like tears
and feels like water
because that's just how much he loves me, his daughter
yes, the one who has done wring
but still has a song in heart
yes, as i try to depart from sin
and talk to mountains and winds
him and i are as close as friends can be
yes, like a branch and tree
or a door and a key
or a knob
so no i can't not rob
my heart
or my eyes
from realizing the emotion of sadness
because just like the waves in the ocean change
in a strange way
will because gladness
one day

OUTREACH

GOD YOU GIVE US MONEY TO SPEND
AND TIME TOO
SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
YES, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE YOU?
WITH IT
YEAH, HOW SHOULD WE SPLIT IT?
YEAH BECAUSE ANOTHER DAY IS A FIRE LIT
YEAH ANOTHER BREATH IS ANOTHER SWITCH
OR ANOTHER PITCH TO SING YOUR HYMN
OR TO SWIM
IN YOUR RIVER
YEAH WHICH MAKES MY SOUL SHIVER
BUT I'M NOT COLD
IN FACT, I'M WARM AND WHOLE
BUT LORD, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL
SO I KNOW WHATEVER I SPEND
YES HOW AND WHEN
SHOULD NEVER BE A SIN
YEAH BECAUSE MY FRIEND

HIS WONDERS STILL PERFORM
MUSCLES AND MIRACLES

MAN, YOU MUST BE SO NEAR?

today is tuesday
today was tomorrow come true

flashy and bold
but full of control like a soul

and messed up
while the spirit blessed

and you let rest
or come along

in my ear

MUSIC IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

i was feeling sad
so my dad said put some music on
to make strong
and make you last long
yeah girl, clear your head before you go to bed
because my blood is red
and your veins are blue
so do what you need to do
to pursue happiness
or joy
because boy, i love you girl
yes, more than this world
so go ahead my pearl, and play your favorite music today
yes, to wrap away the gray
or navy in your eyes
because i have seen your cries
and heard your lies
yes, when you tell people you're well
but feel like hell
or like you're in jail
with no chance of parole
but you know what?
you were born to dace
because my love, music is good for the soul

DYING INSISE

I'M TRYING TO LET YOU GO
BUT THE PROCESS IS GOING SO SLOW
YEAH AS I BLOW MY NOSE
I SUPPOSE
I CHOSE THIS LIFE
WHEN I CHOSE CHRIST
BUT I DON'T MIND THE SACRIFICE
OF MY TEARS
AND MY YEARS
BECAUSE HE SACRIFICED HIS BODY FOR ME
YES HE SACRIFICED A FLOOD OF BLOOD FOR ME
SO YOU SEE I AM TRYING
BUT I AM DYING INSIDE

I NEED PROOF

LOVERS AND FRIENDS
ARE BLESSINGS AND SINS
ALL ROLLED IN ONE
SO SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I RUN?
TOWARDS THE SUN
AND GET BURN
OR SHOULD I JUST SIT BACK AND LEARN
AS THE WORLD TURNS
LIKE A WORM
OR A BUTTERFLY
BECAUSE I HATE LIES
BUT I LOVE THE TRUTH
YES I NEED PROOF

DISBELIEF

man it's so sad when bad things happen
yeah, you wonder where was the captain?
yeah, the creator of lovers
and not haters
yeah because i thought he was greater
than friends and stronger than wind
but once again
another kin has been lost
and tossed to the side
while the guilty party just ride by
still able to say hi
while another mother cries
and another son dies
and another community is left with a whole bunch of whys
and lies

KNOCK ON THE CROSS

GOD I SEE YOU WORKING
AND YOU KNOW WHEN I'M HURTING
SO I'M GOOD
KNOCK ON WOOD
YES KNOCK ON THE CROSS
YES BECAUSE OF LOVE
I'M NO LONGER LOST
AND I'M STRONGER
YEAH BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH ME
YEAH BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FORGET ME
AND BECAUSE OF THAT...
I STILL BE
ON EARTH
YES LORD
I STILL HAVE WORTH
YES YOUR WILL STILL LIVES IN ME
SO I AM TRULY FREE
OOOOWEEEE
