Walking In The Path Of God
The sight of the sinner is trapped by limitation
So God's patient when we fall in the trap of temptation
But he who walks alone is a victim of pride
For how can he rise up with no one by his side
Sometimes even the righteous wander and lose sight
Feeling alone, trying to figure out what's right
But Jehovah comes to all who earnestly pray
And guides the sheep who once wandered astray

Through A Window
Through a window I can see, touch and feel
Through a window I can tell what is real
Through a little window in my room
I can escape my sense of doom
I can see a bright embracing sun in a blue infinite sky
I can see frolicking animals chasing, playing, going by
Through a window I have a gift to dream
Through a window I can make everything look how I want it to seem

Caesar's Demands
God's things to Caesar Caesar's things for yourself
Morality is the one thing you can't buy with your wealth
You want men who are willing to sacrifice
Without caring that they alone carry the price
While you rape the land of every virtue
Spreading the disease of your hypocritical view
Where is the truth when you deceive us into war
Where is charity when you ignore the beggar at your door
Where is love when you only have derision for welfare moms
Where is faith when your only hope is wealth and bombs
You swear by the Bible but you enforce by the gun
Makes me wonder if you even know which war needs to be won

Unpowerful
You can't make a difference by being the same
And it is not the odd who should be given the blame
For all the tragedies to which there has came
For the poor and the few have little power to use
But it is the many with money that have power to abuse
The victims of their power are the ones they accuse
And the criminals lead the prosecution
And the jury buys into the institution
And the random select are sent to their execution

Look At
Look at the gun in your hand
Look at the slaves you have at your command
Look at the destruction you cursed upon the land
Look at yourself and try to understand
Is this what your God had planned?

Being With You
Lay with me, stay with me, play with me
Do what you want to me it would be okay with me
Anything you want from me I'd do as you please
Just to satisfy you would fulfill a million fantasies

Common Knowledge
Who was the prophet who said peace was won in war
Haven't we heard love thy neighbor a million times before
When in our youth did we pledge to a god or nation of war
Didn't we choose universal love wisdom and justice as the policies to stand for
Whose Messiah was a soldier but not a martyr
Whose Messiah made national preference
Whose Messiah waged war under Divine Providence
How can we call ourselves God fearing if we give to an army our confidence
How can we serve a god of love but act in violence

How Come
How come we only hate war when there isn't one to hate
How can people plan a future and say Earth's salvation is already too late
How come people say we are free
To be who so ever we should want to be
But then say they can't be my neighbor if I can't relate

Slaves Of Human Authority
I'm just another man secluded in his own misery
Finding the truth that man dominates to his injury
You can see that truth for yourself in your own history
But we all agree the solution is our ultimate mystery
The future we make is not ours to see
For we don't know how to be the change we need to be
Living in hedonistic simplicity
Of hate, greed and apathy
We cannot find or measure up to our rightful morality
We can't see what we must do to be free
So we remain slaves to our human authority

Musical Rebellion
Folk, funk, punk, rock both hard and classic
Stirs up the crowd into something ecstatic
And the outcast protest and rebel
Lines between cliques and cliches are blurred beyond where anyone can tell
Commercialism endorses the rebellion
Profits mounting from the individuality they are selling
Passionate protest of fake fad
Society has gone mad
The masses unite and then comes uniformity
And then the bitter taste of conformity
Then when the rebellion becomes passe
A new fashion rebellion is on its way

Negative Labels
Nothing makes me more depressed
Than to label someone hopeless
For the sole effect of such a label
Is to immobilize and disable
There is nothing you can do but hurt
If you do not learn how to support

Locked Safety
Locked safe in my climate controlled life
Away from all of life's burden and strife
Safely kept inside my room
I have no fear of earthly doom
You don't have to worry about a solution
If you can hide from the pollution
I have no guns, drugs or money nobody to fear
Locked up not even the government comes near
I stay locked up in the safest place
No outer contact, no phone bills or credit cards to trace
But what I wouldn't give to be vulnerable and free
What I wouldn't give is myself as slave to this corrupt society

Grandpa's Farm
In a busy world prone to harm
I'm always safe at old Grandpa's farm
A place that knows no lies, abuse, violence or adultery
Just a secure place for good clean fun for a boy like me
Just a secure place for good clean fun for a boy of three
Although God will give the Earth to those who are meek
I could just be as happy with my Grandpa's creek
Cool under the shady trees
Warm during a summer's breeze
For fun just lie to get some ease
Livestock for pets, you may be poor but just eat the food you grow
People so friendly only parasites are your foe
Just take me back to Grandpa's farm
Away from the world's deadly harm
Back to the old country home charm

Homes
I wished I lived in Wonderland or even Walden
Perhaps maybe Oz or better yet Eden
But I live mankind's test tube society
Where logic is escaping reality
Where order is wanted but chaos is innate
Naturally destroying the life we need to create
We are simply killing ourselves while trying
To live our simple lives while we're dying

Hopeful Maybes
Maybe if I could get to you, you might be able to break my emotional wall
Maybe then you won't think I'm so creepy after all
When you see who I really am
Not the false image that to you I became
