Flower of Forgiveness

My Friend

I have a friend who is strong as can be
He walks around brazen, and conquers all I see
But when I think of the times he never fell
I am reminded by some laughter, its never far to fall to hell

Its never far to fall to hell
Its never far to fall to hell

I know a man who does well at all there is
He dances, oh he dances, until the morning light is his
But when I hear of all the good he brings
I listen to the call from the ground, death will bring the final stings

Death will bring the final stings
Death will bring the final stings

I met a fellow who made it through the bad
He clung to his life and hurled it through the sad
But when I feel the tears he never cries
I am moved with compassion, for tears will heal the lies

Tears will hear the lies
Tears will hear the lies

I found a stranger who was out of luck and charm
He had fallen to his knees and begged for mercy’s arm
But when I taste the bitterness of his pride
I clench my fist until repentance changes the bitter side

Repentance changes the bitter side
Repentance changes the bitter side

I tripped over a lonely soul from the heavens above
He lay there on the ground, then rose to his feet like a dove
But when I realised he had pulled me to my feet
I looked towards his face and was surprised to find my friend’s heart beat

My friend’s heart beat
My friend’s heart beat

I have now learnt a lesson from my life
He was foolish until his fall, then arose out of strife
But when I think of all I have said and done
I am who I am, because love shines on all like the sun

Love shines on all like the sun
Love shines on all like the sun

empty
like a glass with no water, a bowl of nothing
take me to the heavens as a carry bag, and bring me back as a parachute
I'll be the apparatus you least expect, the saving grace unrealised

cold to the touch, and unbecoming
death yields little contrast
It is as road-kill to the crows
a sentiment of the things to come

so take heed
crave the light, but tell of the night
a void lingers within the soul
empty

no sediments, just fuzzy nothings
feelings of leisure and talent
delving deep but never arriving
healing lameness, and concluding

why hear the birds
why see the stars
why know beauty
it is as water through a sieve

find yourself estranged
but save others from my vanity
packets of nowhere
empty

Change

Well I can't explain this weather colliding over me
And I guess I can't deny it, some things are meant to be
No I don't have all the pieces, just tryin' to escape
I don't even know boundaries, but I know life sometimes grates

Have a little faith in God
Let your hope stand in change
Have faith in God
Know that things just re-arrange
And when the stormclouds have passed
And you're looking brighter...

Well I can't explain this moment being more than I can see
And I guess I can't rewind it, some things are a part of me
No I don't have all the answers, just tryin' to relate
I don't even know the reason, but I know life's full of mistakes

Have a little faith in God
Let your hope stand in change
Have faith in God
Know that things just re-arrange
And when the stormclouds have passed
And you're looking brighter
You know you will have changed

Status Quo

I don't want to be extreme status quo;
It's not healthy, its not meek, its not me.
I don't want to spend a lifetime perfecting a certain skill, or doing a job well;
It's not life.
I don't want to learn the world and forget a face;
It's an injustice and a tragedy.
I don't want to be extreme status quo;
It's an art I'm not willing to be.

Emotionable

So fragile amidst the floods of change
Resolute, vanquished, forgotten but laid to waste
From the highest mountain down to the depths of drought
She knows the thought, the feeling, the suspense of emotive embrace

A plummet from the roof-top, zeal forged in brilliance
Compounded structures, one after another, and all is merely said to be
So resilient on the wings of change, soaring!
Emotion has captured my every being, from blindness to now I see

Its joy, its bliss, its ecstasy on a runaway train
Its a trance while remaining conscious, but I will explode if I don't find relief
