Changing the Sun

How do I steal time and make it my own?
I'm thumbing through the years
Tracing the faces I've known.

How do I take hold the throttle and go back to the sea?
Back to Savannah we'll go.

Raided by the turn of solitude's burn.
I'll steal you away.
How, for Savannah I yearn.

New disease, infant dreams;
All of these changing the sun.

All my silence lost,
Sleep gone.
Now my son is born, Vaughn.

New disease, infant dreams;
All of these changing the sun.

Oh, Jericho!

Oh, how the horns they ring!
It turns - our glances meet.
Oh, Jericho! we sing.
Have your way in me.

I have defied my need
And traded home for Jordan's dream.
Oh, Jericho expectancy
Have your way in me.

So shall I?
You are the only light.
So shall I forget my heart tonight and stay for the fall?

It's all that I can bring
A song to sell my gold for dreams.
My only way of being free
Have your way in me.

And so the old befriend the night.
So my toll has ‘come my right.
I am Jericho tonight, tonight
And our Lord is King.

So shall I?
You are the only light.
So shall I forget my heart tonight and stay for the fall?

How long?
How long?
You decide, Adonai.

So shall I?
You are the only light.
So shall I forget my heart tonight and stay for the fall?

Nary Another Mile

Oh, how the lights seem to change.
How the world tends to break
Sweetheart, for you.
Oh, how the lanes merging one
steered my heart to your door to find love.

The signs that led me from your town
were lies to drag our journey down.
And I won't drive another mile without you.

Awake

Here with all the rhymes aside
I've saved my words in hopes to make them new... i love you.
And with all the rhymes aside
I've drawn the shade to see your heart tonight
and make it right.

Beautiful, we're fine
I've come running now
Lady i'm so tired of running

I am awake and smiling
the love outside is in my eye
I am running from the love you bring
I want inside
I can't get my fill as we are still and bright outside

Beautiful, we're fine
And we're on the way.
