BRIGHT SHINING LIGHTS
Walking walking
We are all walking
at the same old pace
Sitting sitting
We are all sitting
in the same boxed place
On the streets, in the dark
We keep playing our parts
Looking up we reach for bright shining lights
Wondering how they ever got so high
But even bright shining lights can't save a man's mind
They only make souls go blind
Maybe it's time to move from bright shining lights
Itching itching
We are all itching
for a brand new change
Screaming screaming
We are all screaming
but can't hear a thing
On the streets, in the dark
We somehow lost our hearts
Looking up we reach for bright shining lights
Wondering how they ever got so high
But even bright shining lights can't save a man's mind
They only make souls go blind
Maybe it's time to move from bright shining lights
Well and alive
Shouldn't be so desperate to cry
Should've known that life is more than lights just passing by
Pulled by green and gold
We all burn in the undertow
Why's it so hard
to let this lie go?
Looking up we reach for bright shining lights
Wondering how they ever got so high
But even bright shining lights can't save a man's mind
They only make souls go blind
Maybe it's time to move from bright shining lights
Baby, it's time
to move from bright shining lights

Going Going

GOING GOING
Have you ever faced the ocean and
Lost yourself to the tide
Told yourself ya'd just dip your feet in
Then a wave changed your mind
Just felt like going going going
Going going going
Going going going
Straight to the sun
Oh just going going
Going going going
Going going going
...gone
Your eyes caught by the horizon
Reeled right down to the line
Salt-surf smashing
Wind-whipped crashing
Stepped on, paid no mind
Just kept on going going going
Going going going
Going going going
Straight to the sun
Oh just going going
Going going going
Going going going
...gone

There Will Be

THERE WILL BE
There will be times they tear you down
There will be times they count you out
There will be times they call you a fool
There will be times you’re afraid it’s true
Count out the days, number the nights
Everything worthy is worth a good fight
Stead your pulse and set your face
The shouts you hear now are teaching you strength
* * *
Ready your mind, secure the guards
Engrave these words on your tablet heart
Garner the good things you love and believe
They’ll be your arms in your time of need
Cruelty in kindness, love fueling fear
Meaning so well it’s taken you years
To block out the noise, to make your own choice
Knowing there will be,
There will be…
* * *
Straight to the fire, firm through the storm
Thought it all out, no way but forward
Forging a path that’s never been known
Gave it your name, come into your own
Yes there will be trials that test your faith
There will be points you fall from grace
More than your blood, beyond your bones,
Know who you are at the core of your soul
* * *
There will be hurt, there will be pain
But the voices that hurt you now will hold you up that day
There will be hurt, there will be pain
But the voices that hurt you now will hold you up that day
