Deep Breath of Life
There's no time to think
Not even time to breathe
You’re mind isn’t running
Nor is it walking
You aren’t meant to be thinking
You’re meant to be moving
Moving as fast as you can
You’re not just kicking
You’re not just running
You’re doing both
At the same time
Moving as fast as you can
People are screaming
You don’t know what they say
The waves block it out
While you move as fast as you can
There’s no faith
There’s no hope
Only action
Fast, fast, fast action
Only for a minute, maybe less Slamming into the wall
Hoping you weren’t the last Gasping for breath
Looking for familiar faces
Glad it’s over
And ready to do it all again

Exiled
They’ve locked me out of the secret gardens
No more drinking from the fountain of youth
The lack of your presence, the yearning, hardens I want you to be my truth
But they had fireproof gates made, They closed them as I cried
Every last wish was denied
And I had to watch as my happiness decayed
I have the key, so it is unfair
To lock me out due to fear of my “affair”
Don’t they know that joy lies
When I’m looking in your eyes?
So I’ll sneak out and jump the gates
Keeping my steps in close, sneaky eights
Whispering and staying close
No one tells what no one knows

Off the Hook
I hold about a million grudges. I get a new one every day
It’s like a never-ending cycle
And one day I could pay
But how do I forgive?
How do I forget?
How do I forgive
Everything you’ve said to me
Everything you’ve done to me
Every time you’ve bet on me
At my expense alone
How do I forgive myself
For all the things I overlooked
After all, you were an open book
But I let you off the hook
I have many regrets
And they eat me up inside
But too bad for you
I won’t run away and cry
I will push through this never-ending storm
If it’s the last thing I do
Because I won’t go down
Not at the hands of you
But how do I forgive
Everything you’ve said to me
Everything you’ve done to me
Every time you’ve bet on me
At my expense alone
How do I forgive myself
For all the things I overlooked
After all, you were an open book
But I let you off the hook
Help me, dear Jesus
They know not what they do
How do I forgive them?
How do I forget, then?
I know that if you can forgive them
I can too, but It’s like a never-ending cycle
Of pure spite and dear hatred
How do I break this?
How do I make it?
How do I forgive
Everything you said to me
Everything you’ve done to me
Every time you’ve bet on me
At my expense alone
How do I forgive myself
For all the things I overlooked
After all, you were an open book
But I let you off the hook
Well, I’m done with that for good.

God Will Deliver Us
Through the mountains
Through the plains
From the furthest galaxies
To the farthest parts of the world
God Will Deliver Us
Through the shadows of doubt
Through the most terrible trials and tribulations
From the Grand Canyon
To Mount Everest
God Will Deliver Us
From the North Pole to the South
From Antarctica
To the greatest depths of the Arctic Ocean
God Will Deliver Us
Have no fear, you people of little faith
For God has delivered us from Egypt
And He will deliver us to the Holy Land
So turn away from your idols
Take down the golden calf
And repent
So that we are returned to our rightful place
God Will Deliver Me
And He will deliver you
So what right do we have
To not deliver ourselves
To Him?
