about

A song about wanting to find a spiritual reality grounded in experience and authenticity instead of cold religion.

lyrics

Everything is burning
Violent winds are turning
These safety nets can’t hold the weight of the world
So I look for your face
All I see are idols encased
Bogged down and drowning in a cheap surrender

So help me let go
And fall into your arms
I need to know that you are here amidst the storm
So help me let go
And fall into your arms
I need to know that you are here and I can’t lose your love

Oh sons and daughters
Bowed down as cannon fodder
This isn’t worship
It’s ego ammunition
So I run for meaning
Tune for the Love-Light gleaming
I need experiential crucifixion

Offering of contempt
Do I believe or fear it?
Can’t deny I often feel the priestly jester
I need an earthquake
Every faculty awake
Help me return to that room of unknowing

So help me let go…
