Awake O sleeper (arise from the dead)
(Done like an old protest song i.e. Marvin Gaye or early Isley Bro. – Reggae? (Could also be done as a country/R&B) The lyrics will dictate the natural baseline. Must be ass kicking and righteously angry.
The great Uncle is not your friend.
He would be your master.
(And) talking heads just keep on talking.
Don’t confuse them with your pastor.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.
Your creed is not the journey.
Though It might lead to journeys end.
Seek the answer to the riddle.
From walking Death to waking Life transcend.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.
Hold lightly to your strength.
And all you think you know.
For the Light shines in the darkness.
And it is in weakness that Grace will grow.
BRIDGE
Caesar has no love for you, you’re a number on a page.
Doctrine is a guide, but its just trappings on the stage.
Life is calling you to wake up (now). Shake off the webs they weave.
Step into Reality (Life), become more than you (can) conceive.
Distraction provides just temporary satisfaction.
But your heart knows the Truth. Your heart knows the Truth.
Awake from the incantation, seek the Incarnation.
The Light shines in the darkness . . . Let It shine on you.
This one felt better to me than the other. There are times, however, when just hearing you put your thoughts out there in your own speaking voice is much more effective.
You’re right. But they are not my back up band. The changing of musicians make it varied. I did getting away later that night with no music. It was very quiet and still. It went well
I know you’re really enjoying working with the guys. I also know you have a gift for reading and speaking your thoughts. A mix of both might be a nice change. People respond very well to you when you recite your poetry. You just have a certain something in your delivery.
We did some poetry monday. Maybe it will find a permanate place
It IS part of YOUR genius, you know… <3
I’m looking for a place. I’m thinking that I’m in training for now. 🙂 I have written 20 or so poems out of there. And I actually sang a couple times
You mean a place where you feel you fit in more with your philosophy?
A place to do my art
You just need to keep seeking and being patient. It’s out there. You just haven’t found it yet, pardner.
I’m not in a hurry. Just trying to do what comes next. It wasn’t that ling ago that me sitting on that stool was unthinkable 🙂
Let alone singing! 😀 You’re getting more and more brave!
