An Other Shoe

Theres a time to speak
and a time to walk away
from the noise they make
all the hearts they break
but only you will get to say
what is apropos
at each time and place
i hope you'll be kind
even if we have a difference in mind
i hope you'll give me time
time to listen
time to feel into
just what it might be like
to be inside your shoes
whats it like to be like you?
what makes you do those things that you do?
what made you believe
the things that you believe
and do we have a common enemy?
do we have a common enemy?
theres a time for might
and a time to get outta sight
calm the warrior heart
no more bloodshed to day
but only you will get to say
when to draw your sword
or to quiet the rage.
I hope you'll be kind
even if we have a difference in mind
i hope you'll take some time
time to listen
time to feel into
just what it might be like
to be inside their shoes
whats it like to be you
what make you do those things that you do?
what makes you believe
the things that you believe?
and do we have a common enemy?
I say, let the fools pass away
feel that sun shine on your face
come what be, come what may
I refuse to play their game
put yourself in another shoe
whats it like to be like you?
what makes you do those things that you do
what makes you believe
the things that you believe?
and do we have a common cause?
i say, let the fools pass away
feel that sun shine on your face
come what be
come what may
we dont have to play their game
we dont have to play their game

Peace to your Heart

I went fishing for a smile
tried my patience for quite a while
felt a tug out on the line
caught a smile right here inside
peace to your heart
fellow wanderers
its nearer than far
I went searching for my love
i dug low, i flew above
caught a draught and i took a dive
found that love right here inside
peace to your heart
fellow wanderers
its nearer than far
come home
sweet melody
i've been missing you
inside of me
i demanded they give me truth
second hand, their only proof
i let loose a primal cry
heard the truth right here inside
right here
peace to your heart.

Tower Burn

Its falling apart before our very eyes
it cant go on but how it tries
in the throes of its death
and its forcing a smile
just so good at marketing
even in its reckoning
even in its reckoning
gunna hold your hand and watch the tower burn
glad I found you here
maybe this time we'll learn
its a real joy of life just sharing a view
as long as you are next to me
i do not fear this reckoning
i do not fear this reckoning
its falling apart before our very eyes
humanity confronts its lies
I'll just keep plating these seeds
in these old battlefields
as long as you are next to me
i do not fear this reckoning
i do not fear this reckoning
gunna hold your hand and watch the tower burn
glad i found you here,
maybe this time they'll learn
it's a real joy of life justn sharing a view
as long as you are next to me
i do not fear this reckoning
gunna hold your hand
and watch the tower burn

Everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes i fall to the illusion
i'm alone here in the dark
everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes i'm caught in the delusion
mines the only achin' heart
thats my ruse
thats my bruise
and its just another part of me
lets take a cruise
i can tell tell how you hurt
its not too hard to see
and try all you might
but you can't hide from me
with all of my heart
i will give you my very best
and if i'm to hit my mark
just know sometimes ill miss
everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes its hard to see an ending
as a perfect place to start
everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes i do the very thing
i just promised I would stop
thats my ruse
thats my bruise
how 'bout you?
i can tell tell how you hurt
its not too hard to see
and try all you might
but you can't hide from me
with all of my heart
i swear ill give you my very best
just know if im to hit my mark
sometimes im gunna miss
everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes i burst into the phoenix
that illuminates the dark
everybody sins
everyone misses their mark
sometimes my dreams become the world
and the world just breaks my heart
sometimes the world becomes my dreams
and then i realize i hit my mark
