Work of Art

 An artist with your brush in hand

A maestro before the band

I'll never, never understand

How you brush the strokes 

And guide the notes

That make my life a work of art


For I am your child and your working for my good

Even when I don't do things exactly as I should

You're painting your glory on the canvas of my heart

I'm your living masterpiece

I'm your work of art


A planner, there's nothing left to chance

A lover pursuing romance

A dancer, and you've asked me to dance

I say yes

Please take this mess

Make it a work of art


For I am your child and your working for my good

Even when I don't do things exactly as I should

You're painting your glory on the canvas of my heart

I'm your living masterpiece

I'm your work of art


Who am I to tell you

What colors you should use

Life's full of reds and yellows

As well as greens and blues

And when it seems my life is being torn apart

I rest in knowing, you finish what you start


For I am your child and your working for my good

Even when I don't do things exactly as I should

You're painting your glory on the canvas of my heart

I'm your living masterpiece

I'm your work of art

Be That

I have a tendency to envy people that I know Some folks I know live inside my head I feel too ashamed to say their names Some things are best left unsaid My mind seems programmed to compare What I do with those who do it best If I let myself stay in there I'd prob'ly drink myself to death I can never be that;  be that as it may I have something inside that I just have to say I can never be that; be that as it may I have something inside and I'll die, u nless I give it away I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away A voice tells me I'm not enough A voice tells me I don't measure up A voice tells me just give it up I say enough is enough I may never be that;  be that as it may I have something inside that I just have to say I may never be that; be that as it may I have something inside and I'll die, u nless I give it away I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away

The Fall

It's strange what sights and sounds seep through the sifter Starring center stage on the silver screen of my mind And it's streaming all the time Sure makes it hard to unwind Dazed and deluded just a daydreaming drifter Drifting towards destruction like a silent waterfall I can barely hear you call And I sure can't make sense of it all Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet And as strange as it sounds I sorta like being down 'Cause people don't ask too much of me Tantalizing, mesmerizing, agonizing song I can hardly wait until the curtain call It's been a long time since the fall And I sure can't make sense of it all Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet And as strange as it sounds I sorta like being down 'Cause people don't ask too much of me People Don't ask too much of me

I Am Not Alone

  If I were you and you were me There the two of us would be Standing on the inside looking out I would know and you would too What the words and attitudes  Are really all about Really all about I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this life together There are storms we all weather I believe we'd be the better If we let our guard down And secrets were found out As the masks hit the ground We all cry out I am not alone..... I am not alone ...... I am not alone I've got a mean little menace trapped in the walls of my senses I drive myself plumb senseless  When I try to please him  I've tried to drink it away I've fallen to my knees and prayed Sometimes I just want to say I don't know how to beat him  I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this li...
