Distant


Distant

I don't want to sound
so distant
so distant
and I don't want to sound
indifferent
or different

I want to go where you're going
and I want to see what you're showing
I just want to know what you're knowing
and I want you to go where I'm going

I don't want to sound
so distant
so distant
but I don't want to sound
repentant
I meant it

I want to go where you're going
and I want to see what you're showing
I just want to know what you're knowing
and I want you to go where I'm going
I Can See Clearly Now

Forever moving against the tide
to a blank horizon
I see the currents with perfect eyes
and now they're open

I've seen it all for what it is
and I can see clearly now
I don't have time for all of this
and I can see clearly now

Forever moving but faster now
to a blank horizon
I see the changes with open eyes
and now they're focused

I've seen it all for what it is
and I can see clearly now
I don't have time for all of this
and I can see clearly now

I've seen it all for what it is
and I can see clearly now
I don't have time for all of this
and I can see clearly now
I see a panoramic picture
of my panoramic life
I have decided that
I am through with this tonight
I'm setting sail
and I'm heading for the light
I can see clearly now
I'm through with this tonight







The Replacement

Tonight
I've got too much time
on my side
tonight
and I have lost the bulk of myself
and replaced it with something else

Tonight
the replacement did not arrive
tonight
I don't know why
tonight
I don't know why

Tonight
I've got too much time
on my side
tonight
and I insist it must exist
but I don't know where it is

Tonight
the replacement did not arrive
tonight
I don't know why
tonight
I don't know why

New Lands


On a Mission

The plates have shifted
and ruined good intentions
The gap has widened
but I am on a mission
The new world has grown old
There are no new inventions
Everything has happened
but I am on a mission

I am on a mission

Revising history
and ignoring all dissension
The gap has widened
but I am on a mission
I will find it at its source
and I will end its existence
I will search this earth
because I am on a mission

I am on a mission
Precious Lord Take My Hand

Oh I receive your words and I hear your commands
and I'm a believer though I don't understand
I want to walk with you so would you teach me to stand
Oh precious Lord take my hand

Oh precious Lord take my hand

Deliver me, You know all of my sins
and please forgive me when I do them again
I want to learn what I can not comprehend
Oh precious Lord take my hand

Oh precious Lord take my hand

I'm not trying to run this life
I leave that up to you
Maybe you could send me a sign Lord
I just want to hear from you

Oh precious Lord take my hand


Out to Sea

As we stand here within reach
I don't want this wave to recede
Unless it takes me
Amidst the breaking
I want to let it take me
and navigate me
Take me out to sea
Take me out to sea

As this wave crashes into me
Wash everything out to sea
Let it take me
Let it shape me
Let the waves
do the navigating
Take me out to sea
Take me out to sea

A rise and shining
An ebbing and flowing
You can follow me
but I don't know where I'm going
or if I will jump ship again
or if I will go down with it
Take me out to sea
Take me out to sea



So Gone

I must be going
and I must be gone

and I - I want to keep going
I - I don't care where
and I - I want to keep going
I - I don't know where

I must be going
and I must be gone
I don't know what's right
I just know that this is wrong

and I - I will keep going
I - I don't care where
I - I will keep going
I - I don't know where

I'm gone
so gone
I'm gone
so gone
I'm gone
so gone
I'm gone
so gone




Elevation

I have seen the light
and it shines on me
With new eyes
I am learning to see

That I - I've got elevation
and yeah - I have a dream

To love the life I live
and live the life I love
To step into the sky
and rise above

and I - I've got elevation
and yeah - I have a dream
I - I've got a golden ticket
and yeah - I've got the key

I have liftoff
and I hear the sound
I'm rising high
and I'm not coming down
and I have heaven
and yes it is real
I have discovered
how this feels to feel

I'm rising high




In Time

In time the planets will align
and provide a sign
in a single file line
You and I
we wil collide we will arrive
given time

This life is an exploration
full of revelations
that I will continue to explore

We will be reminded
of everything that defined it
given time
The stars in the sky will align
We'll be fine
given time

This life is an exploration
full of revelations
that I will continue to explore
through all that that entails
I will continue to sail
til I can no longer see the shore

In time
In time
