A Mountain

What if I’m the one
Holding all the dreams
That stuff is made of
And the best is yet to come
Better yet, it’s already here
What if all this time
All this mess of mine
Is mostly stuff I made up to survive
And I’ve been a mountain all this time
So won’t you move me
Move like you do
Oh, move me
Move me like you do
The rocks cry out, and I know what they say
I’ve been a mountain in my own way
So, move me
Oh, move me
Like you do
Only you do
What if I recall
What you told me, first of all
That the only way out of this is through
And I will walk the narrow road with you
So won’t you move me
Move like you do
Oh, move me
Move me like you do
The rocks cry out and I know what they say
Because I’ve been a mountain in my own way
So, move me
Oh, move me
Like you do
Like only you do
Move me
Oh, move me
Like you do
Only you do

Here

I don't understand the plan
Too often it seems wrong
But somehow I find you here
--And suddenly--
I'm right where I belong
And I trust somehow you'll make it right
So I will lean into the darkest night
And gently kiss the lips of the unknown
For you are no less with me here
Than you were before

Just Short of My Beyond

Is this is end
The final blow before I slay Apollyon
Or am I about to
Somehow surprise you
With another plan gone wrong
I’ve been waiting here so long
And I know my life is yours
So please don’t leave
Me here
Just short of my beyond
I’m just so tired
And I’m in a room full of people all alone
When I’m not standing upon the gravestones of the Once great men I do not know
Still, it puts me on my face
To know that all of your grace
It sustains me
Even here
Just short of my beyond
(Interlude)
To whom can I go to plead my case
When I am but a moment in time at the end of the day
I just need to know that you’re here
And it’s all gunna be ok
So don’t leave me, don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
This is the end of all my immovable plans
This is the answer to so many painful years of wondering who I am
And if there’s anything in me
That you would rather not be
I’d like to know
I’ll leave it here
Just short of my beyond

When the fire goes out it’s hard to ignite it again
Hard to fight it again
The same battle I’ve fought since God knows when
Am I forever at the mercy of some thorn in my flesh
Or is this but another lie that I tell myself (so that I’ll stay like this)
Well, perhaps I’ve had the wrong idea about you
I mean just look at all the hats you wear
Because of what I put you through
And these images I have of what I need you to be
Are merely echoes of the past that keep you
Nailed to a tree (Chained to me)
This is not adoration
Because if it were, I’d let you be free
If to grieve the spirit is worst, I’m frankly screwed
Because I have lived for most my life in a state of lowest altitude
I’ll give you everything I have except the key
To where I hide my heart away (and, oh, it hides away)
Forever pacing by the open door I know will set me free someday (if I would only step into it)
And perhaps one day I’ll be at peace with you
(I hope someday soon)
I’ll release my death grip, and let you be
The childlike wonder in everything
Cos I know I’ve had the wrong idea about You
I am not your whipping boy
And You are not as cruel as this feels
Hmm
Well, I guess I’ve had the wrong idea about you
The eternal stars shine out
As soon as it is dark enough
And oh my god
It’s dark enough, see
The eternal stars shine out
As soon as it is dark enough
And oh my God
It’s time, I’m ready
Singing yeah
I can see a way out now
I can see a way out now
I’m taking higher ground
I can feel it all now
I can feel it all now
You are not so distant
Yeah, I can see a way out now
I can see a way out now
I’m taking higher ground
I can feel it all now
I want to feel it all now
You are not so distant
