Sense Field--Building

OVERSTAND

what is pure? what is love? 
what is faith without trust?
what is loneliness without anyone?
where is anywhere without directions?
understand what is to be human and keep your spirit up,
understand what it takes, 
what it is to finally listen and understand. 
understand what it is to know
the presence of understanding what it takes to walk
through fear understand what it means to pass the
body to reach the soul to teach the mind to let go of
all your fear, enter-faith into trust and understand
what it is to be a woman, to be a man who
understands what it is to be a father to a daughter
who understands what it is to be the son, the son of
someone who understands what it is to be loved,
loved by someone who understands what it is to be
loved, loved by someone who understands what it is
to love someone who understands what it takes to
love someone who understands what it means to be
loved by someone who understands 


OUTLIVE THE MAN

with my heart in hand you know I had a vision one
day, it was beautiful, so beautiful and so sincere, in
another time, in another place you know I saw the
radio station in the ice of space, in the back of my
head abandoned for years, but they were still on the
air. all the people had gone away the radio station
played, all the hits from yesterday, no one to hear
what they had to say. so we see it once again,
classic science fiction end, the perfect dream
outlives the man, the machine outlives the man, the
machine outlives the man... the machine outlives
the man. 


DIFFERENT TIMES

you came at a crazy time
 but you picked a perfect time 
you could not come at a better time i know
you've chosen a brilliant time
to learn how to be strong 
we find strength in ourselves
 they wonder 
how dare I believe in this world 
and how we're going to live through this sickness 
and that there are miraculous moments 
to take us through these insane times. 
you've chosen such beautiful eyes
 to see everything. 
you've chosen such a beautiful life I know
 you've earned it and still you wonder
 how it is that you are beloved 
and why you're so extremely important
 because you may cry a few times 
you may feel sad at times I know 
it's all to learn how to live and to love
it's all to learn how to trust 
there are no wrong colors
there are no....wrong colors (4X)  no!


LEIA

imagine me imagining you carrying us through,
through our darkest days say to me don't give up on
us and you say to me don't give up on me and you
say to me hold on to me say to me don't give up,
don't give in... just think of me thinking of you and I
think of you being with me through my darkest
nights say to me don't give up on us and you say to
me don't give up on me say to me hold on to me say
to me don't give up, don't give in... sing on you'll
live on sing on leave your light on sing on you'll live
on your love will live on  


NO MAN'S LAND

i owe it to you to remind you of the greatest
mystery, to remind you of your great stories, that
you'll be telling, when you're leaving and there's
nothing your hands will be holding to remind you, to
remind you of complete restoration, to remind you
of the beautiful decorations that you'll be wearing,
when you're leaving and there's something your
heart will be holding. your heart will be holding your
heart will be holding something something your soul
will be singing your soul will be singing, trust in your
song 


WILL

some will say take cover and some will say take
care some will call you over and some will call you
out to show you their nightmares, but there are
dreams to fill your heart with certainty, there's
giving somewhere, i believe there's meaning
somewhere here, there's sweetness somewhere
here there is freedom here we'll just have to find
the innocence of a little boy who accepts nothing
less than a miracle it will never, no never leave you,
it will always be with you all through your life.
because it will be hard to see it will be hard to know,
it will be hard to tell, but you'll be given guides and
skies without storms. there are songs to fill your
heart with simplicity, there's healing everywhere
here there's happiness here we'll just have to find
the gentleness of a little girl who accepts nothing
less than a miracle. it will always, always be with
you it will always and always be with you all through
your life, it will always and always be with you, all
through your life 


BUILDING

no I don't just hate everyone no I don't just hate
everything you know I won't just love anything you
know I won't just love everything you know I just
won't love everything, baby... love is building, our
lives are building hate is a building torn down love
is building, you know we didn't know what to think,
you knew all along we would work it all out, you
know we didn't know what to believe baby... love is
building, our lives are building hate is a building
burned down love is building were you in doubt of a
new day, you lifted my doubt of a new day building,
love is building, building love is building building.
love is building


SHALLOW GRAVE

grown so many times before dug my way out of
a shallow grave because hell is never a home pull
the man down from the throne push your way up
to open skies come up to me. let me feel you move
let me touch your face, look into your eyes and read
into them, let me watch you fly watch you take us
right on out of here with all we've been through,
don't you think its time if blood should cover our
hands, running water over them find your way out of
a shallow grave because fucked is never a home
pull the man down from the throne push your way
up to open skies come up to me. let me feel you
move let me touch your face look into your eyes
read into them, let me watch you fly watch you take
us right on out of here with all we've been through,
don't you think its time that you come up to me let
me feel you move let me watch you fly right up to
think its time that you came up to me and take us
right on out of here, just take us right on out of
here, just find us a way out of here, find us a way

EVERYONE I SEE

I see there's a day I see ahead
there's more room than a fork in the
road and I took the same thing and I
feel so far from home there's a life I
see ahead there's more than a fork in
the road self-instruction theory of
exactly what to do, everyone I see is
you everyone I see is you in my
minds been playing tricks on me I
stumble over something strange you
make me want to want you more and I took the
same thing I feel so far from home there's a life I
see ahead there's more than a fork in the road self
instruction theory of exactly what to do, everyone I
see is you, everyone I see is you, everyone I see is
you my minds been playing tricks on me I stumble
over something you make me want you more I can't
wait, but I will 


IN THE LIGHT OF THINGS

i'd like to think I was a lover if I could ever bring us
back together i'd like to think I was a father if I
could get together with my children i'd like to think
I was a friend so let us begin i'd like to think I was
your friend we can start again in the light of things
in the light of things in the light of things i'd like to
think I was a free thinker if I could even get my
thoughts together i'd like to think I was still a child
if I could get together with my father in front of me
i'd like to think that I can breathe in everything in
the light of things in the light of things in the light of
things in the light of things i'd like to think I was a
lover if I could ever bring us back together


WONDERING TIME

time you're the only one who understands you're
the only one who understands the weight of this
moment the weight of this day you're the only one
who understands here in wondering time in
wondering time i'm wondering if all I needed was
someone who reminded me, if all I needed was
someone who, who reminded me someone to say,
reminding me, someone and someone to say you're
the only one who understands you're the only one
who understands me 


SIGHT UNSEEN

I want to spread the word of the earth and heavens
to end the anger between the two slowly slipping out
of sight to swim for days thinking to see land find a
rose with all the weeds tell it is beautiful the tide
argues but recedes to leave the sands behind we'll
end the anger between the two slowly slipping out of
sight traces of the sinking ships blend in well where
the water drips onto the boy/girl who looks up and
smiles to see where it is coming from what we want
is free knowing she is just as strong strong strong
strong
