Every song I know is mine
if this one isn’t I apologize can’t pay the fines
At nights like this I lay awake and think of you
But your face is always changing to someone new
Wish I knew what I wanted
It’s a miracle that I wake tomorrow
Wish I knew what I wanted
Every time the sun sets I go blind
Every time I think I’m ahead I’m behind
At nights like this I lay awake and think of you
But your face is always changing to someone new

Verse 1
It’s time to grow up and be a man
Not just a man but the one I was made to be
I will follow into deep waters
What is happened to me
Refrain
Pull your nets (x4)
What has happened to me
Verse 2
With this strength I’ve left my body
Out of busyness safety and society
I will follow into deep waters
What is happened to me
Verse 3
What is faith but having confidence
Confidence in things yet unseen
I will follow into deep waters
What is happened to me

Fortune days
Are behind me
Mild, may
We go please?
Can these Skys
Catch these dreams
How so big
Can these eyes be
Stare down your neighbor for profit
The secrets out I am the culprit
I understand I understand …
What’s inside
Gold is shining
Press rewind
Now play, please
Count to ten
Can you find me
Clean eyes see
Never-ending

Verse 1
I’m alive I’ve lived to show it
These are my traveling years
I know my love is trouble
Don’t leave me here
Verse 2
I dance alone to music
Plays in my head
You’re lost you must find Jesus
That’s what they said
Verse 3
I stand before you naked
To clothe my fears
I feel the sounds of silence
Boxing my ears
Verse 4
The world is torn asunder
I’ve played my part
When young I paid to gamble
With people’s hearts
Lyrics and Music © David B. Hiemstra 2011
I am sought I am seeking
For what will give feeling
Not something fleeting
Like the gasp before you leave
In the morning
I am sought I am seeking
For lines that don’t turn around
To old times
when love was the sun rising
In the morning
I am sought I am seeking
For what is not emotion
Tangled arms and hearts
And legs going through the motions
In the morning
I am sought I am seeking
Exit from absence of meaning
And the book of rules
Of my generations game
In the morning

Trust yourself
The naysayers and head shakers
The hand shakers fake neighbors
Let it go
Flex your shoulders
Tear that universe’s fabric to your own
Let it go and walk through
You’ve carried it all and seen through
Your heart’s mind’s eye is sharper
Than the fog of their problems
Clarity is hard to come by
And it’s been with you forever
Hasn’t steered you wrong and who knows if the world is ready
Up here we go hang on
Because it’s about to all just get bigger
Laying foundations takes time
When you’re building a skyscraper
Say a prayer for me
as I rocket past the last known object
of our race
I’m on a mission
I’m finding I’m comfortable
with the lack of oxygen
I see through you
The search for meaning ends off that cliff
hanging in your chest that’s hidden
Jump I dare you
Gravity’s gone up here so there’s someone to catch you
Hope I greet you
Please don’t run me over
Or make this the last time
Because I’m slowly growing older
And becoming less kind
You are like the fog
That rolls on in around here
When the sunlight comes
You disappear
I am lost
Like a ship left out to sea
Some call that loneliness
I feel free
Moving to California
Because it’s too cold around here
I hope I find love
I hope I’m not just running from my fears
