Shelter

Up inside my castle gate
Waiting for the day to break
In my bed I start to pray
In my shelter here to stay.
Perpetual motionless
Lie in bed midday no less
Struggling your mind recalls
From last night be called.
All I ask for from the lord (all I ask for from the Lord)
Is keep me playing chord by chord (is keep me playing chord by chord).
Protects me from the sky above
Shelters me just enough
Shields me from wind a small home to begin
Come to me from above.
I don’t mess with voodoo ways
My meditations here to stay
The devils waiting at my door
Can’t get in but wanting more!
All I ask for from the lord (all I ask for from the Lord)
Is keep my goals moving toward (is keep my goals moving toward).
The feeling of hard times to stay
Does it get in your way?
Reeling inside, almost too much to hide
Will I last one more day?

I say unto you, "Come forth!"
Speak now unto you, "Come forth!"
For there is no way a jungle would see you.
Beyond the ocean, beyond;
I think I see you, beyond.
For there is a way, sunlight found you.
Open your eyes, possibilities arise...
I am so frequently asked, where does my faith come from?
I am so frequently trashed, where does my faith come from?
All is not lost.
I saw the way!
We are so frequently asked, where does our faith come from?
We are so frequently trashed, where does our faith come from?
All is not lost.

It's All Midnight

Well sometimes I find I look back
In these moments, to the coat rack
Where I hang my memory hat.
There are sparks as bright as summer,
There are stains that I can’t cover,
What remains is the fire created.
It was enough for me to fight it.
It was enough for me to climb it.
The look in your eyes belied a reprise,
Provided words to catalyse
It could be right,
‘Cause it’s all midnight.
You were counselling protector
Of my primitive conceptions
‘Cause you heard something in amongst them.
Tapestries of swirling colour
Threaten now to pull me under
And you know I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It was enough to build me up when I was down,
Was enough to stop me falling through the ground.
So take your dues where you can find them.
I owe a tribute at the slightest.
The look in my eyes belied a reprise
That way inclined to glamorise
It could be right,
‘Cause it’s all midnight...
Extravagant shows, featuring royalty and so
An unseen world at our fingertips
As they craft their wizardry, a conduit to mystery,
We drank it all in;
Arcadian streets, arrayed in a sequence yet unknown,
Navigation, Guinness season, bassline rhythms,
Month of Maying, clergy playing, fetching tailors,
Mother Maiden.
I’m grateful for it all!
So when it seems like others sleep in different keys,
At least my dreams can spin the threads of another tapestry.
So cheers!
Let’s hear it for you, my dear.
I get up each new day,
I try the best I can...
You could be right
That it’s all mid(night)
-Knight as you stand in your armour so bright,
You’re a lantern.
It was enough that you would listen.
The look in my eyes belied a reprise
The heartbeat that can polarize.
You know you’re right
That it’s all midnight.....
You could be right, ‘cause it’s all midnight.
I get up each new day, I try the best I can
You could be right, ‘cause it’s all midnight.
