Falling For The World

It’s my turn but I don’t dare
You turn the lights off when I’m still sitting there.
It’s blinding, I close my eyes,
I accept that this may come as some surprise.
Collusion is now at play,
Use it or get out of the way.
I feel it hit at the top,
I suppose at any moment it might stop.
This is how I’m falling for the world…
So close now, I know it’s near
Try to prepare but it is already here,
Becoming--I knew it would.
The end result is not quite fully understood.
The inner workings are now exposed,
You have the knowledge, don’t let your mind be closed.
It builds and it breaks apart
And at the end it may just be a work of art.
This is how I’m falling for the world…

Thief Of The Daylight

All has come to nought, all the trouble that was wrought,
Overwhelming analog devices.
Season of trouble, so long
Thief of the Daylight, be gone.
Walls are caving in, wills are wearing thin,
Overwhelming natural defenses.
Season of slumber, so long
Thief of the Daylight, be gone.
Sunshine, and all is forgiven.
Greet the rain that pours, open up the outer doors
Gaze upon that mighty face and tremble.
Season of trouble, so long
Thief of the Daylight, be gone.
Sunshine, and all is forgiven
Season of trouble, so long
Thief of the Daylight, be gone.
Season of trouble, so long
Thief of the Daylight, be gone.

This Cosmic Place

There is the Sun--up there, high in the sky burning
There is the Earth--weightless, bound to the sun, turning
Here is the Sun spinning in spiral-armed circles
Here is the Earth’s orbit, bound in a well of stars
Here is the Moon waning, and then again waxes
Here are the Earth’s seasons, caused by a tilt of axis
We float along the sea of space,
Order from chaos in This Cosmic Place
We float along the ocean of stars
Lost on this island; hey, look where we are
Look where we are
Here is the Earth, our home--water and air and land
Now here is humankind stretching to touch God’s hand
We float along an ocean of stars
Lost on this Island, look where we are.
We float along the cosmic sea
How far we’ve come, humans.
All of the dust in all of the men
All came from stars and will go back again.
We came from stars, it’s what we were then
We came from stars, and we’ll go back again
We float along the sea of space,
Order from chaos in This Cosmic Place
We float along the ocean of stars
Lost on this island
Look where we are
