The Invisible World
04:54

The days I have spent on this earth are so long
The sights that surround me so strong
How could I desire now to stay one more day?
Why would I pray God to go on?
The brightest lights are known to fight
Their way through the gloom
And pour themselves into this room
I’ve waited here for many years
And could for many more
Let that sacred path open soon
The day I was born is the day that I began
And the time when I had most to learn
The day when I die is when I begin again
I pray on that day I return
The sun has been so warm and bright
The earth has been so strong
The river so simple and free
But none can compare with the Ancient of Days
The face that I now long to see
I want to live in the invisible world
Where I can tell you I love you for as long as I want to
Without having to say I cannot stay
The world of lies pulls me away
So many places I’d love to be
So many people I’d love to see
This life is short, but long to me
Break this cage and set me free
In the invisible world
The invisible world
The hand on the crossed and the moon and the star
Have carried my spirit this far
The lotus on the water and the fire in the cup
Are needed to know who you are
The blood of 20,000 lives has led me to forget
A lifetime of pain and regret
The Gate that led me onward to the end of all things
Has not led me further just yet
I want to live in the invisible world
Where I can tell you I love you for as long as I want to
Without having to say I cannot stay
The world of lies pulls me away
So many people I’d love to see
So many places I’d love to be
This life is short, but long to me
Break this cage and set me free
In the invisible world
The invisible world
And I would die for what I love
So is it too much to ask
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
That I may see it at last?

Now In Love

No sun, no moon
All you get is dark
The anger of the world struck me hard
And left a lasting mark
No up, no down
Keeps you standing still
Was it fate that kept me prisoner there
Or merely force of will?
It was not so long ago
But I cast it aside
The misdirected anger
And the enervating pride
I have slept upon the stone
Of my broken heart and
I felt so much like I had died
I am now in love
And I swear that I’m never going back again
I’m never going back
No right, no wrong
Only point of view
River rushes forth to rescue me from
All I used to do
No in, no out
I am back again
Fire flashes forth to take my hand
Flames my only friend
It was not so long ago
But I left it behind
The sorrow and the loneliness
For clarity of mind
I have slipped the surly bonds
Of my selfish ways and
I am so glad that I survived
I am now in love
And I swear that I’m never going back again
I’m never going back

Through me they seek distinction, intention, possibility
To me they speak objection, deception, unreality
Cannot be
I guard my ears and guard my eyes from the enemy
I keep my path, my hand up high with integrity
No-one knows what it takes from me, what it makes of me
But I will not lay down while I have strength in me
From me they seek attention, conviction, unquestioning loyalty
For me they seek destruction, obstruction, vulnerability
Cannot be
I guard my ears and guard my eyes from the enemy
I keep my path, my hand up high with integrity
No-one knows what it takes from me, what it makes of me
But I will not lay down while I have strength in me

Mi Amigo

We meet for dinner down at Yonge and King
I bring the guitar cause you brought the strings
I grab a menu and ask where you've been
New Jersey beaches or the music scene?
You tell me since way back in '89
You had a love affair with 6/8 time
I eat the appetizers till you're done
Just listening to the rhythm's favorite son
Hey la, hey la, hey mi amigo
You say your parents and your kids are fine
I say "that's great" and show you photos of mine
I ask you if you hear from Boyd or Mike much
You say about as much as you would like, but...
I smiled and said "I'd like another Coke over here"
The waitress brings it and you tell her a joke
I leave the cheque because you always pay
You give it all because you're just that way
Hey la, hey la, hey mi amigo
You gotta get back to your car and then
You ask me when I'm passing through again
I know that growing old's a bitter pill, but
I love you brother and I always will

Pepsi & Cigarettes

I got a hundred miles behind me and a thousand to go
I got Dudley on my speakers and I'm feeling the flow
Alright, alright, alright
I've got pavement underneath me and a roaring machine
I gotta think of where I'm going and not where I've been
Alright, alright, alright
Pepsi and cigarettes
I got a leather steering wheel and a stack of cassettes and I'm
Trying hard now to forget
About what you once meant to me
I got my family on the east coast and my girl on the west
And I'm burning up the prairies doing what I know best
Alright, alright, alright
Well, my kids are out there somewhere and they're doin' okay
I gotta get 'em on the telephone one of these days
Alright, alright, alright
Pepsi and cigarettes
I'm getting so much closer but I haven't got it yet
And I'm about as close as you can get
To putting the whole world behind me
I got a hundred miles behind me and a thousand to go
I got the pedal down hard, but I don't wanna go

Grandmother told her in the long grey winter
Everything sleeps under the cold
That's when the warmth of a dying summer
Fades from the earth and the hearts grow old
And the wheel keeps turning
And all the treasures of an old strong nation
Are lost in a blizzard and lost in the snow
Then we search the land for all our wives and daughters
Calling out their names, calling them home
And the wheel keeps turning
My love
I only see your shadow
My love
I only hear your echo
And I'll wait for you in the winter here
Calling out "come home, come home, come home"
Grandmother told her nothing lasts forever
Creator brings the sun to every child of man
There in the daylight we will be brought together
Warmed in the springtime, healed by the Great Hand
And the wheel keeps turning

I Could Love You Better
05:01

I'm dancing with my one true lover
Swaying softly to the song
And the lessons that we learned the hard way
So Full Of Grace and I Was Wrong
And our bodies moving now in concert
Candles, fire, and violins
And she's buried in me as I hold her
She opens up to let me in
And I could love you better than this
If not for the world in my way
And I could love you better than this
Or than the world is loving you today
The music's over and I'm waiting
For her to leave me on the floor
And to think that I could once have lost her
And she wouldn't love me anymore
And these moments that come and go so quickly
Slipping ever from our hands
These minutes I wasted waiting
These hours I will not get back
And I could love you better than this
Just like I always said that I would do
And I could love you better than this
And the only one I love is you

Ordinary People

I think it's fine being famous and rich
And a big star on TV
To make a law, make a scene, make a speech
But when it's change the world needs to see
But it's ordinary people who change everything
So you're high on applause and you're high on the crowd
And how they all know your name
The room goes quiet when you walk in the door
We all worship you in your fame
But it's ordinary people who change everything
The worker fills his days with toil
The planter fills her hands with soil
When war and anger aren't enough
Lovers fill their hearts with love
As a boy I got my guitar
And dreamed of where I'd go
To be a legend or be a star
But as a grown man now I know
It's ordinary people who change everything

What I Am
05:12

I know that you've got a certain understanding
Of what it means to be like me
I know that you think I'll crash instead of landing
From my steep trajectory
I know that you pray I'll turn towards the gospel
And wear a cross around my neck
Come back to the fold and live like an apostle
I don't mean no disrespect
But this is what I am
And this is how I'll stay
I know it's hard from where you stand
To see another way
But this is what I am
Well this is what I...
I know that you think the world is just five senses
And only things you touch or see
I know you eschew the past and future tenses
I know you've given up on me
I know that you aren't one for myths or legends
And those who bow the knee to pray
I know you're not afraid to ratchet up the tension
Brother, all that I can say
Is this is what I am
And this is how I'll stay
I know it's hard from where you stand
To see another way
But this is what I am
And what I believe
I'm not about to give it up
Because you cannot see
That this is what I am
This is what I am
This is what I...
I see all the world as murmurs of one heartbeat
I learned what I know by looking past the known
I see God is there within me or without me
I've given all I have and I've died as I have grown

When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Between giving up and trying to shut a door
If there were any way I could put it all behind me
I swear I'd give to you like no-one has before
When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Between the dark night and the color of her eyes
If I could understand the way that I was feeling
I would cast away those things that you despise
It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, it's the closest thing to love
When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
Am I better now or worse than before?
If I could pull from my heart this anchor of hesitation
The consequence would come to me no more
When I get this way, it's hard to tell the difference
So I turn to you with my small and open hands
How could there be a way for you to love me?
Why would you ever try to understand?
It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, it's the closest thing to love
It's like mercy, but I'm not sure I can explain
Or forgiveness, though I don't know why I'm forgiven again
It's like power, the kind that comes from above
But of all I've seen, of all I've heard
Of all I know, of all I want
Of all I need, it's the closest thing to love

Becoming

Is there a right time for us to grieve?
Is there a better way for us to believe?
Is there a point to the tears that go by?
Is there a way to live so we never die?
When the shadows wash away
The question still remains
If I believe there's more to life than this
If I could see there's more to me than this
Would I see? Would I feel?
So I revere the memory?
Would I hear? Remember?
So I could learn the melody?
When I touch, would I feel
So I can claim what's in front of me?
When I'm done, what will I become?
Is there a right time for us to know?
Is there a better way for us to let go?
Is there day time without any night?
Is there still time to put things right?
When the shadows wash away
The question still remains
If I believe there's more to life than this
If I could see there's more to me than this
Would I see? Would I feel?
So I revere the memory?
Would I hear? Remember?
So I could learn the melody?
When I touch, would I feel
So I can claim what's in front of me?
Will I know?
Why did I go?
Trying to find the answer
Trying to find the exit
Trying to bridge the chasm
Trying to find my way home
Would I see? Would I feel?
So I revere the memory?
Would I hear? Remember?
So I could learn the melody?
When I touch, would I feel
So I can claim what's in front of me?
When I'm done, what will I become?
The question still remains
