Rejoicing

I am weak because I am human
Free will means wrong choices
But I thank YOU every day
For YOU my soul rejoices

Full

I believe in G-d, but my mind's not narrow
Because I put my trust in G-d, I have no trust in pharaoh
I shut my eyes to all their crooked lies
I avoid their judgment and I look towards the skies
I seek the approval of ONE but many mouths with snake tongues
Try to take away my heart and steal the air from my lungs
You say that HE's not there, that I'm talking to the air
If you don't believe that HE's real then why do you even care?
Faith starts in the heart; the soul and mind just follow
I'd rather be filled with hope than left there feeling hollow
I only listen to ONE, I don't put my trust in them
I put my heart, my faith, my trust only in Hashem

I See YOU

I wish they knew what I knew
That YOU are great and good
And forgiving and loving
And we are all part of YOU
YOU alone are the divine
The maker, the creator of all

I wish the could see what I see
That YOU are bigger than the Earth
Than the Universe
Than the galaxy
That YOU breathed life into a blackness
And created every planet
Every star
Every beast
Every human

But humanity is weak
They are blind
And deaf
And ignorant
We see the facts and not the faith
Well...
I see YOU

Spring (Never Forget)

I pull away from the shade on this bright day
I want to feel the light burn my sins away
I stand in the middle of Earth
And watch as Mother Nature gives birth
The breeze comes in gusts and rattles the trees
Their boughs bountiful reach out to the seas
The water is the same and the current is strong
Feathered angels sing a redemption song
As I sit alone taking in all of HIS grace
And I feel love’s warmth beam down on my face
Hope whispers in the air to keep up the fight
As the sun and the moon fight off the night
So when the black sky appears, when the skies are so dark
The moon is lit up with one tiny spark
To remind us HE loves us and to never forget
That HE’S always there despite the sunset

From YOU Within Me

Insanity
Blowing a fuse inside of me
Something snapped
And I felt so trapped
Trapped in tradition and who they wanted me to be
Just who they wanted to see when they looked at me
I’m not that child that must heed their voice
I’m an adult now; I can make my own choice
I blame them, but it’s my own fault
My own voice in my brain forcing me to halt
To think twice about what’s inside of my heart
To think three times before I would even start
I stopped
Something popped
Something clicked in my mind
Happiness can be easy to find
I can’t worry about them, what they might think of my life
I can’t let their opinion cause me so much pain and strife
I am me and that’s all that I need
Because with light in my life my soul can finally feed
Impurity and darkness might try to get through
But evil will never win as long as my faith is in YOU

Rebirth

Ripped from the womb cold air upon my skin
A child born in love, a child born in sin
Crying to return to the safety of my hole
Crying for redemption for my forsaken soul
The pain of the world was thrust upon me
They held open my eyelids forcing me to see
I didn’t want to believe in a world so filled up with hate
A world living on luck instead of glorious fate
I buried my head deep, deep underground
No sights to see, no smells to smell, my ears never filled with sound
Solitude was my prison and my prison was my home
My home was my safety and my safety an observation dome
To observe the thoughts within my brain
The thoughts, the ticking, the inane
Sounds that go through a mind, a fragile mind
A child’s thoughts that were deaf, that were lame, that were blind
Folded hands on bended knees
A bowed head, stale bread, rosaries
A man blowing smoke into your pores
Holy water flooding, spilling out the doors
There due to tradition, due to cowardice, due to obligation
Listening to the words I didn’t believe, listening but no real concentration
I am a stranger among the blood coursing through my own veins
Locked up by the need to please, bounded spiritually by chains
A crucifix around my neck and bitter wine between my lips
I break away from their grasp, I break away from their grips
I am them and they are me but we have followed different streams
Our tradition, thanks to me, is ruined so it seems
Ripped from the womb cold air upon my skin
A child born in love, a child born in sin

Last Second of Life

The air escaped my lungs the beat ran from my heart
I try to hold it together but the world fell apart
Streams and rivers and oceans of tears
Dreams and shivers and motions of fears
Tumble in the wind let it carry my soul
Float down the current lose all control
To hear is to see and to smell is to feel
To be honest is to lie, what is fake is always real
The sky is falling and no one can see
I stand in the middle let it fall down on me
Because life is only worth it if you learn to let go
Yeah life is only worth it if you learn to go slow
Slow down, slow down the beating in your chest
You can only control you you can’t control the rest
Don’t worry about the future, forget what’s in the past
Worry about each second because this second it won’t last
Love the ones your with because hate can never win
And if you’re filled with love then there’s no room for sin
