All The Days Of My Life

All The Days Of My Life

(c) 20/2/2009 .pd.

Lord who saved me from my self
As my shadow grows long
I will follow you
As I have followed you
All the days
All the days of my life

Lord who turns my tears to light
As the path fades to trees
You are leading me
As you’ve been leading me
All the days
All the days of my life

Lord who I have doubted too often
As the certainty dawns
You’re forgiving me
As you’ve forgiven me
All the days
All the days of my life

Lord whose very name is love
As the echoes decay
You are calling me
As you’ve been calling me
All the days
All the days of my life

Michelangelo (Anything But Real)

michelangelo (anything but real)

(c) .pd. 2008

high in a great hall long ago
the prophet michelangelo 
the sweetest torment did unfold
it's all too easy to remember

the reaching way you looked at me
it's not like i had not eyes to see
all the connecting imagery
i wonder if you still remember

chorus
how it used to be?
do you still believe
how we choose to feel
is anything but real?

not so much game as a defence
i've too much hubris for pretence
the distortions of the wish-i lens
will twist whatever you remember

but it seems clear now that i 
raised up a pedestal so high
you could not breathe in so thin a sky
i realise more than remember

chorus

but the hand of god
and the hand of adam
tho you want so much 
for the fingers to touch
it's never gonna happen

chorus

history bitches and it blames
but it teaches and it tames
we courted the spark and fanned the flames
i double dare you to remember

cuz we are poohsticks in the past
racing the rapids oh so fast
and i have built this bridge to last
so that i always will remember

chorus
