Soulrise

In this self-made prison I’m dying… God help me! My days of ‘life’ have faded into distant memories Resurrect my youth, I have been holding on In your light I pray to wash away the shame Bleed my sorrow or take my soul today I’m falling, drowning in tragedy When will peace be returned to me? In your soil of life I planted seeds of tomorrow For all my light will bloom and purge your sorrow When you are wise enough to accept the truth I will bring you back all of your youth “Rain, come again Fall upon my son today and bring him new life” Harvest day- dry your tears And walk in my daylight again Harvest day? Could this really be the end of my disarray? Harvest day Another chapter of you has been written today Harvest day? Could this really be the end of my disarray? Harvest day Another chapter of you will be done “Rain, come again Fall upon my son today and bring him new life” Harvest day- dry your tears And walk in my daylight again Today the sorrow shall end The sun is searing through Life has returned to you

Shroud me from my despair In a time when I should have the world at my feet Some “angels” cry when given their wings too soon in life Remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight Release your weight I’ll never let you give up today Now I’ve seen Heaven on Earth I’ve kissed the face of hell and lived to tell I know you’re with me always until the end When Heaven opens for me just let me die young Let me die young So lost inside this tangled web of life Breaking daylight “much too late” This lonely silence is deafening Re-thread the strand and set your soul free Release the blame For I am a better way And can ease your pain Now I’ve seen Heaven on Earth I’ve kissed the face of hell and lived to tell I know you’re with me always until the end When Heaven opens for me just let me die young Let me die young At the edge of another revolution? This I will not say How much longer until our oblivion? I will pull you home before that day And you should know you will be okay Now I’ve seen Heaven on Earth I’ve kissed the face of hell and lived to tell I know you’re with me always until the end Heaven is open for me now let me die young Let me die young Let me die young Let me die young Let me die young

Release your tears, I’m a soldier sent to shield you I watch over you more than you will ever know Now purge all your fear- your own weapons fight against you Let me be your guide So broken and afraid How will I spread my wings again? Silence and bind the whispers to all fade and die If I fight the wars for you they will never end Ignore all the lies, all the warfare from inside Quiet your mind Shield me inside so I can breathe new life A ‘stargazer’ in my own mind Shield me with an early, warm falling rain Walk through the door I open for you I’ll light the way Now here on your wall tall I stand Cross over heart, tomorrow in my hand For I will shroud you and suffer your pain And heal your broken heart Shield me inside onto a distant land Rebuild my temple from a grain of sand Shield me with a midnight falling rain A new dawn is waiting for you… “Morning…. Rise!” Shield me inside before I say goodbye Guiding the way with a final sign Shield me with another warm falling rain Now the war is over for you Go and “light the way”

I’ll never let you suffer, I will be right there to heal you And when you cry, I am by your side to dry your eyes When you are alone, listen closely for my voice And then there will be nothing left to fear I can feel so much change in me now Heaviness is fading from my heart I know I cannot change the world But I can change the way I live today I never want to forget where I came from So remember now- you’re only human I will let you fall so I can mend and rebuild you But when you fail, I retest you then progress you Just open your mind to what I am teaching you Then I promise never to let go Remember to forgive yourself I have already forgiven you I know I cannot change the world But I can change the way I live today I never want to forget where I came from So remember now- you’re only human Your world that I made Came with a price to be paid You are the light of me young man You will never be the same Carry me today Let me breathe you in so deep I am only a breath away I know I cannot change the world But I can change the way I live today I never want to forget where I came from So remember now- you’re only human I know I cannot save the world But I am only human You’re only human For I have written, so it will be done A kaleidoscope of beauty will fill your life So remember now- you’re only human

Far above the morning desert sands below you And beyond the Indian-painted sun that rises above Is a light that shines upon you and guides you through the night Leading the way with my lunar light This is only a glimpse of what you can expect to see But not right away You still need time to grow Moonrise- Let your light guide the way home Don’t mourn the day the dream will die Chase your horizons in this "once” upon a time Step outside your mind Let your soul guide you For it already knows the way home, remember? For you will reveal Upon the shoulders of giants stands a man Before me lies an autumn Mayan sky Where I watched you smiling down Shrouding me with the beauty of your world Dream at peace at the horizon And remember what brought you here Now open your eyes you’re not dreaming I have returned you home Step outside your mind Let your soul guide you For you have revealed Upon the shoulders of giants stands a man “Moon- Rise!” Moonrise- Let your light guide the way home Don’t mourn the day the dream will die Chase your horizons in this… Moonrise- I will mend your wings so you can fly To where my earthly angels shine Chase your horizons in this "twice” upon a time Open your eyes You’re not dreaming

Why do so many fear your name? They’re bearing guilt for what they disbelieve But you were never taught how to love or to have faith I can help you find the way So many times in life where science has failed you Playing God with your emotions Trying to deceive you by hiding me and my word Oh, but what can I do? Break the bread of life still unbroken I’m Godless! Godless! Rise above deception With the words I have given you For I am losing my creation Show the world my love For they only divide and hate Godless? Godless! I will show you your dreams That you never knew you had Then bring them to life before your very eyes If you would only let me try Okay, so why do so many kill in your name? They are fueled by greed and misdirection Their contradictions bastardize my words every day I know why you turned the other way Rise above deception With the words I have given you For I am losing my creation Show the world my love For they only divide and hate… the world I do believe this is from Heaven! It’s not too late You can make a difference But you’re running out of time Godless?

I still try to smile but you would never let me learn to fly Or change the way I view the world How can I believe that my dawn will come When I’ve fallen so hard today? Please bring me a change Or take me home today I don’t know what else I can do So I surrender once and for all I have been waiting for you Now you will grow so very strong And know that one day you will become everything you want to be You never thought that you would ever see the day Where I would be guiding you Providing your way No, the tears you cry are not your own In solitude you are never alone Spread your wings for the world to see All chains are broken once you believe in me I can feel you opening your world to me Today your nightmares become sweet dreams Nothing will ever stay the same You prayed for a change to come and take you away Time is never kind but faith is always on your side Will we ever stop to bask In what we’ve done with our lives And what we have become? Tell me- what have I become? Tell me- what will we ever become? Spread your wings for the world to see All chains are broken once you believe in me Fly now life begins anew Our world has been opened once we believed in you

Once dead and soulless, I was so alone And broken until you saved me On the day I needed you the most At the edge of my oblivion But you sent them to me on my darkest day Can you see and hear what is left of me? Dead or alive, reunite me! By you they carry me beyond my internal wars Of emptiness and despair Trusting me with their lives in my hands Don’t ever bury your head in the sand Can you see and hear what is left of me? Dead or alive, reunite me! Shield me from this fear that is killing me End this lie, and this tragedy now! Twice upon a time Once out of reach, now in the palm of your hand Twice upon a time in Heaven as it was on Earth Alive, strong and unbroken Twice upon a time Once out of reach, now in the palm of your hand Twice upon a time in Heaven as it was on Earth Once upon a time- distance can’t divide you and me Twice upon a time- distance can’t divide, you will see (The Enemy) “Stare into my barrel There is no one to save you I will corrupt you- body, mind and soul Your prayers will never be heard Your ‘god’ has forsaken you” No! By my wounds you have been redeemed My blood has been shed for you Remember, the snake will always lie He has no authority, resist! Now you will smile again When the mourning is gone And I will heal your broken heart And bring them back into your arms You will love them again Another time in a better world Where your hearts will be filled with life Twice upon a time

All is not yet forgiven Why can’t I ever seem to let go? Still I’m holding on And why does a part of me die when I have to say goodbye? Reflecting on fond memories of what you’ve left behind Please show me what I must do today One day soon not far from now you will learn my truth The world below is your shining stage in this short play of ‘life’ From behind the curtain we watch and wait But all is not forgiven Do not waste your tears in mourning anymore For this is a part of your life that you must endure Self-destruction and apathy will never mend your wounds But I can only help you now No, it was not your time to go But I will never lose my faith No, it was not your time to go I need you to help me heal I can’t do it on my own No, it was not your time to go So until we meet again? I will see you soon again my friend Until then, I must say goodbye You will see signs and gifts left behind So know they will always be with you All is now forgiven No, it was not your time to go So until we meet again

Distant skies of warm sunlight rise Peering through this second morning rain Your first sign of life after so many tears Be still and listen for what you cannot “hear” Don’t let me live in fear of tomorrow Or drown in a sea of haunting memories Now open your heart Don’t burden your soul with what will go wrong But how long before I die? Embrace your life The sun will still rise While you’re waiting for the sky to fall Peel away the mask that I wore for years That hid all of my secrets, hopes and fears Bring me hope in tomorrow, and what lies ahead You’ve awakened my soul- I’ll be your voice Don’t let me live in fear of tomorrow Or drown in a sea of haunting memories Now open your heart Don’t burden your soul with what will go wrong But how long before I die? Embrace your life The sun will rise after all So once and for all Stop waiting for the sky to fall Heal me, release me Scars still remain but Nothing can bring back the shame Shroud me, absolve me A new hope begins today Just a promise away Now open your heart Don’t burden your soul with what will go wrong But how long before I die? Embrace your life The sun will rise after all So once and for all Stop waiting for the sky to fall You were waiting Waiting You were waiting So once and for all Stop waiting for the sky to fall

My heart, it bleeds now for all that I’ve lost I thought I was the only one left in my life Alone I lie waiting for you to bring me home So please show me a sign Why do I cry whenever I pray? How can I smile when I think of yesterday? Maybe because I know deep down in my soul You can hear me and always by my side Memories are everything to me now But I can still feel you here protecting me Dear God, please send us your Son I know you can see what your world has become Sorrow still remains with so much to be done And then there was one! And then there was one? No! God grant me serenity that I once had And all the wisdom that I gave away You gave me the strength to carry the weights Of those who cannot carry their own And then there was one? No! Dear God, please send us your Son I know you can see what your world has become Sorrow still remains with so much to be done And then there was one! And then there was one? No! I can feel you so close I can hear the sound of your voice (Angel) “Don’t be afraid! I have been sent here to bring you home.” Once you were so afraid, waiting for the sky to fall Now gaze down at the sand, at the footprints that surround you Look beside and find familiar sets of two And look before you, far ahead, and adore Standing all around you as I open the gates Welcoming you into eternity Are all your loyal sets of four

[PART I- Coming Home] All my life I never believed That peace would feel surreal On my last day when all would become so real Bring me back to where I was “born” To the world I knew Long before I became who I “am” Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain Falling from beneath our feet from Heaven Where I watch you sleep Prepare to leave this world behind Quiet your heart and listen closely for a sign Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain Falling from beneath our feet from Heaven Where I watch you sleep Heaven never sleeps Here we will watch the rain fall Far above stormy clouds we watch the rain Falling from beneath our feet from Heaven Where I watch you sleep Soon your soul will rise- rise today On angel wings you will fly- fly away [PART II- Beyond The Firmament] Dream now as I lay you down to sleep Rest your eyes and feel my peace Rise now and be released My angels are brining you home to me Let your soul rise Your longing is over I will deliver you back to me To my ivory towers Let your soul rise Above the earth, moon, sun and sky Beyond the firmament you will fly... Soon it will be done Let my soul rise [PART III- Welcome Home] Now I know nothing lost is ever gone And nothing gone is ever lost forever Allow yourselves to heal for I have said Life and love will never end Above the earth, moon, sun and sky I had seen miracles before my very eyes Because of you today I will finally have my wings I’ve waited so long You spared me the time to say my goodbyes And now I will close my eyes… Rise… Soul rise Soul rise, soul… Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul… Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul… Let your soul rise, soul rise, soul… I have opened the gates for you my son And I have a prepared a place for you Welcome home!
