Teach me to dance in the dust, David
Teach me to dance in the dust, David
Make me a fool today
Or I’ll never be wise when I pray
Teach me to weep for all that I see
Hide my eyes from all that I despise
My feet are broken and my back is cracked
From all the days searching for what I lack
What have you got in the dust, David?
What keeps you so happy in the dust, David?
Is it love that moves your feet
To dance in the ashes of a crowded street?
David I don’t understand how to move
With the weight of all I’ve got to prove
The past is staring straight down at me
And he laughed and said, don’t you see?
To dance in the dust love will burn your shame
It rages on until it changes your name
And you’re never the same
Love makes you dance in the dust
Love gives you something to trust
Love lets you dance in the dust
Love lets you dance in the dust

As It Seems
02:56

I can’t decide who rules my heart, is it fear that keeps me apart?
Who and what is in my dreams, is everything as it seems?
The sorrow sinks, deep in my bones, to remind me that I’m alone
Still I see you wander the dark, singing as sweetly as a lark
I think so hopelessly I’ll never see your face, have I run out of grace?
But then you turn, and take my hand, and the dream can’t stand
I’ve woken up, so many times, to utter confusion in a line
Stretching from my heart to my head, and I cry out what I’ve said
I can’t decide who rules my heart, is it fear that keeps me apart?
Who and what is in my dreams, is everything as it seems?

My Poor Foolish Heart
04:33
|

My poor foolish heart is so eager to love
It longs to be tied way up above
The earth amidst the passing silver clouds
Ready to crash into hallowed the ground
My poor foolish heart, so full to the brim
Wants me to risk my life and my limb
But is tied back in my arms by ropes we call age
And so it sits among the stars watching the stage
Play out all the parts
Gazing at the errant hearts
If only you’d love learning to wait
Don’t you know blindness is your trait?
Love has stood before you
Waiting for you to know what’s true
My foolish heart, why won’t you believe
That it was truly love you perceived
Off in the distance, from your perch in sky
To give up on hope, is to die?
You don’t need to fall in the dirt
To realize how much you are worth
My heart, love is never as you bleed
But always, always, as you need
You’re so blind, I’m so blind, through and through

The Snow

The snow is falling, and we are calling
For you, to bring your goodness to us
We leave our sorrows, until tomorrow
For we know that this night will come holy and low
And we are call through the night
For you to bring your light
The snow is falling, and we are calling
For you, to bring your goodness to us

Good December

Hello, good December
We come now to remember
All our loved ones and friends
Amidst this myriad of ends
Good December,
We shall always remember
All our goodbyes
And all for which we’ve cried
Love and faith become so dear
So bright against the gloom and drear
We burst forth into joy unknown
For in December we are never alone
Good December,
We shall always remember
All our goodbyes
And all for which we’ve cried
December, you merry month of ends
We stand now all family and friends
Good December
We shall always remember
That the ends are all beginnings
Full of kindness brimming
