Just Kicking Stones

Walkin' along this gravel path, I feel a faint breeze on my face, And I'm smirkin' at my life. I stroll along, keep up the pace, no race, Do I want to change anything, I hold out just in case; But I kick back, smiling at my life. I'm just kicking stones, And puttin' my feet ahead; The outside just drones As I hum inside my head. & I'm just kicking stones, Walking where the road has led; And the sunlight fades, All the noise is dead. What in the world is worry for, I don't even know; I just kick it out the door, no more, And I know I want to go, oh oh Walkin down some old dirt road. This path is never such a chore. Cause I'm kickin' stones, And placin' these feet ahead; Outside noise just drones; As I sing inside my head, And I'm just kickin' stones Walking where I'm led; And rays of sunlight fade, And all sound now is dead. Thinkin' about tomorrow, Why do I need to do that? Why do I think about tomorrow? A peace of mind I'll borrow, Cause that day tomorrow, has enough to worry about itself So I'll put it on the shelf. Cause I'm kickin' stones, Plantin' my feet ahead. The wind just drones, And I wisper inside my head. And I'm just kickin' stones, Walkin' where I've led'; And the moonlight fades All the noise outside is dead. Fading into the night With the sun having gone down. With the sun went light, I walk through a darkened town. Do I need to worry where I've been, I trust you now and then. But, I want to throw my head back And throw it all away... ...worries fade away ...fade with the light ...fade into the night

Burning Desires

Oh the sun breaks through the leaves,
It's a beautiful day you made.
But my spirit grieves, and then it leaves;
Not a trace made, but I would trade,
This sin any day for a clean shirt,
Not stained with my sin and dirt.

And I want to ... Drop it now
Let it go
Out the window
I want to throw
Tear it up
Take this cup
What is up?
Why do I ... Always just give up?

Shadows are cast on the dewy field
And leaves fall down from the turning trees.
A ray of light illuminates, my heart's revealed,
And I grieve at what's been & you plant this seed.
I rip it out of my heart,
And I sing out and start

To want to ... Drop it now
Let it go
Out the window
I want to throw
Tear it up
Take this cup
What is up?
Why do I ... Always just give up?

The day beckons me to begin again;
The leaves are changing.
I think about the man I've been;
And my heart is changing.
I don't want this thin lustful spirit,
Cause I know that I hate & fear it,

And I want to...

The sun still warms my face,
And I still smile at the brand new day;
Cause I'm forgiven with grace,
And there's nothing I need to say.
Every new day that I greet,
I will lay this sin at your feet.
... Now

Erase

It can hurt, warm, and scare me so,
Why do you always linger when I need you not?
Then I start to feel your pull, then I go;
Yes I go and remember all I fought.
Can you please give me time to show,
Time to show myself how to feel again?
Is it such a sin to want to ungrow,
Ungrow all I am, start all over again?
Take my mistakes, throw them out the window.
All the places that I've been,
Take this and wipe the slate clean.

I close my eyes,
Remember what I was,
Chasing little flies,
And running in fields,
Falling down and getting up.
It was so easy then,
I wanna be where I've been

It pains me even more now,
But I just throw my head back and say,
My need is more than I can show.
I want to be that boy who wants to play.
I don't want anyone to know
Just how far I am now gone.
All my cares & hurt & pain I throw
In the air and now I'm drawn
Close to things I can not show.
Then I see the familiar glow, the dawn.
You erase all my wring and then ...

I see now that all the pain,
Though hurting at the time,
I'd do it all over again.
And I thank you God every time,
For not erasing all the good
That's come from my bad time,
Cause you turn all for good.

I Want To See (What Love Dreams)

It all fades in and out,
Then in and out again.
My life lived out by some man
An imposter, of what I am.
Sometimes I just want to shout
And yell, then shout out again.

Have I forgot ... what is love?
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know ... what love is
Anymore ...
For me what love seems,
Not for me.
To know exactly what love dreams,
I want to see ...

It will never leave completely,
Packed and filed away.
My life unfolds before my eyes;
I look back at all these tries.
I remember you so sweetly
And then I look up to You and say ...
--
How do you see me in my dreams?
Oh God, I need your healing.
I feel like my heart's bleeding on the floor,
And I don't want to hurt anymore.
Not to know only what seems,
Only to have back a feeling.
--
--
You wisper to me now,
And the breeze blows through my hair,
And a peace comes over me.
Now I know what I can see.
Then I see another cloud,
But I know You'll hold till I'm there.
Now I know what it is,
And You wipe away the tear.
It's not completely out of here ...
