Time on Fire
TIME IS ON FIRE
I’m off my square
I don’t recognize this place
Where is that edge
I was standing on, balancing on
I’m off my square
I can’t remember falling
Seems like I woke up here
Like out of some dream
I CAN’T REMEMBER AGING
CAN’T REMEMBER CHANGING
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I HAD A WHILE
TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS, TO GET THROUGH THIS
AND IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS A CHILD
I remember the days
Couldn’t even conceive of
Something like old age
But the sand goes down
So many expectations
Never knew what would happen
I can’t remember what I thought
But it wasn’t this
Someone tell me where I’m goin’, someone tell where I’ve been
Tell me how I got down to the wire, down to the fire
Time is on fire
and I’m watchin’ it burn, watchin’ it burn, time is on fire
(I can’t remember aging, can’t remember changing
Time is on fire) repeat
And I’m watchin’it burn, watchin’ it burn, time is on fire
And it seems like yesterday I was child
OUR POTENTIAL
when I hung out in the wings
I hung out in the distance to
to those, those who would know me
safer, safer than showing
who we are, who we really are
underneath what we use to guard
guard us from the rejection,
guard us from our reflection
WHAT IF, WHAT IF WE CHOSE TO
WHAT IF, WHAT IF WE ROSE TO
OUR POTENTIAL
now it’s time, time to be real
if there’s something, something you feel
way down, down deep inside you
voices, they’re meant to guide you
WHAT IF...
you can begin your rising, you begin your rising now
you can come out of hiding, you can come out of hiding now
ALL OF WHAT USED TO BE
THE REASONS I KEPT WAITING
SEEM SO SMALL COMPARED TO
THE GOOD THAT
WE’RE MEANT TO DO
WHATEVER YOU BELIEVED BEFORE
WHAT WOULD SEEM SO TRUE
WAS KEEPING US FROM DOING
THE GOOD THAT, WE'RE MEANT TO DO
WE'RE MEANT TO DO
BE BRAVE, HAVE HEART
Be Brave, Have Heart
Trust in our togetherness
Any storm we will weather this
To the surface we arise
Feel the truth within our eyes
Be Brave
Rock the boat, it won’t tip over
Steady through uncharted troubled water
There’s no map for where we’re going
Tapping into collective knowing
Be Brave
HAVE HEART AND BE HUMBLE,
HUMBLY CARRY THIS FLAG OF LOVE
HAVE HEART AND BE BOLDER,
BOLDLY WAVING THIS FLAG OF LOVE
Be Brave, Have Heart
There’s a calling out from the shore
We answer and welcome more
And the ripple effect is strong
Can you feel it and will you come along
Across the borders, across the lines
We want to meet you, this is the time
And we’ll be dancing, we’ll be changing
The consciousness and state of the planet
Be Brave
Have Heart
Be Brave, Have Heart
JUDAS DOES
I’m in the backseat, where are you going
It’s not familiar here look around
I’m in the backseat, look in the mirror
It’s your best friend, you’re bringing down
I’m in the backseat, where are you going
It’s not familiar here look around
I’m in the backseat, look in the mirror
It’s your best friend, you’re bringing down
And I pray hard to the angel
On the dashboard leading us home
She doesn’t hear me, no she doesn’t hear me
We’re farther from heaven, And I’m feeling alone
And I pray hard to the angel
On the dashboard leading us home
She doesn’t hear me, no she doesn’t hear me
We’re farther from heaven, And I’m feeling alone
AND JUDAS DOES, WHATEVER HE DOES
WHENEVER HE WANTS, DON’T EVEN TRY
LET HIM CUT YOUR HAND, SPARE YOUR HEART
IT’S A SACRIFICE, JUST A LITTLE PART OF YOU DIES
And I’m riding along, I let you take me down
Let you take me
I’ve been here before, I recognize this street
But this time, I’ll do it differently
And I’m riding along, I let you take me down
Let you take me
I’ve been here before, I recognize this street
But this time, I’ll do it differently
And the wind blows in the window
I can breathe now, I'm alive
Watch the road go by hold the door close
I’m gonna jump out, It’ll hurt, I’ll survive
And the wind blows in the window
I can breathe now, I'm alive
Watch the road go by hold the door close
I’m gonna jump out, It’ll hurt, I’ll survive
AND JUDAS DOES...
GREAT TIME
This is a great time, to have faith
This is a great time, to have faith
a difficult time
When I am afraid I know I’m growing
When I make changes I tend to feel wrong
so wrong
I never could have planned this life
if I tried to any better, anyway
I just have to show up, be brave and step out
and have faith
You can have faith
I can’t figure out how it’s gonna happen,
how it’s gonna go down
In my humanness I try to use reason
to make some sense of this
More will be revealed as I go forward to declare my dreams
Just have to commit despite my fears
and develop wings
on the way down
IF I LOOK AT HISTORY I CAN SEE A REASON
A REASON FOR EVERYTHING
IT’S LIKE A PUZZLE THAT FITS TOGETHER,
TOGETHER PERFECTLY
This is a great time, no I wouldn’t trade it
Even if it’s scary, it’s good to be alive, good to jump in
I’ve been hiding and waiting
getting ready for the guarantees to come
I follow my heart and I won’t regret that I didn’t step out
and have faith
WHEN I LOOK AT HISTORY I CAN SEE A REASON
A REASON FOR EVERYTHING,
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
IT’S LIKE A PUZZLE THAT FITS TOGETHER,
TOGETHER PERFECTLY
THERE MUST BE REASON
You can have faith
this is a great time
to have faith
I SAY YES
Small…..Still….Voice
Small still voice inside...Speaking, speaking loud
And though I can hear it, don’t always listen
But I can trust, what it’s telling me
If I’m open and willing, and I stand in that space
Where it’s me and God, me and God
And I choose to follow, yes I choose to let go
Of the pain I held onto, that I thought you should know
I can let go
We came here for a purpose, we came here to do work
And the work we were meant to do, we already know
If I’m quiet and asking, the answers lie waiting
If I’m humble enough, and I can be bold
And say Yes to the calling, I say yes to this call
It’s me and God, me and God
And I stand here in courage; take a stand for this faith
And I’m moving forward
not even knowing where this is going
I can let go
I SAY YES AND IT’S AMAZING....I KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHAT TO DO NEXT, IF I ONLY....SAY YES, SAY YES
SAY YES, SAY YES, TO THE CALLING
It may start as a whisper
But no matter how faint it is there’s no denying
It gets louder and clearer with every step we take
Every little step we take
I know that you hear it too
I know the voice is within you
I know that you feel it too
The calling
I SAY YES AND IT’S AMAZING....I KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHAT TO DO NEXT, IF I ONLY....SAY YES, SAY YES
SAY YES, SAY YES
