they said i’m made of integrity
heart ablaze at the things that my little eyes see
furnace of pain for what i think they need
door to happiness with my short-sighted key
no one asked me for my simple heart ache
none petitioned for my pity to promote their shame
god liberate my helpless estate
tears as water to the garden of my prayers
in the morning comes what follows
in the morning comes the light that casts the shadows
run to heaven or run to what seems real
run to holiness with what you feel
on the porch protected by the rain
second hand i smoked them all the same
you are safe, and i am safe for you
swear to god that i believe in what you do
the road is narrow to my heart of hearts
the door is wide but few can get very far
i am known by one who left this town
consolation is so rare to be found
god i love you you’re my brothers
god i love you we bear witness to one another
in the stairwell griffin has all the right things to say
in the evening george recites from his favorite page
don’t let me forget the hills that i run to
the kingdom is wet with hope for us all
