This Song is for You -Redemption-

I’ve been a lover, a fighter, a eulogy writer Singer and slave I’ve been pushed down shoved around I’ve dug my own grave You gave me a judas kiss How did it end up like this I’m always looking to be saved This is me this is who I am I will bleed all the blood I can So you will know just where I stand This is me this is who I am I’ve been lost found turned around And I’ve been there too I’ve been black, white, brown, grey And turned up blue But never did I want this bruise Soaking up all this booze I have to live my life with this tattoo I’ve been a Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist and Jew I’ve been a man, woman, son, child I’ve even been you You’ve treated me like a bitch I’ve passed out in a ditch And I really didn’t like walking in your shoes Chorus I’ve been a wheeling and stealing I lost the feeling in my knees from the kneeling As I hit the ceiling I lost the pace, won the race left a trace I wish I could erase all the lines of disgrace Replace with grace this place in case You’re taking up space and get out of my face Chorus I’ve been told that I’ve been dark a little downbeat I suppose I could use a little sun and a smile for this I know I don’t care what you think Just sit back and have your last drink For I’m the one with the microphone

The color’s still in your eyes Pretty as the day we met But the girl’s been missing from behind Lost in a sea of regret If there was a siren song That would bring you home I’d sing it all day long If there was a siren song That would show you home I’d sing it all day long No one recognizes Me, my friends they just walk on by A man of broken eyes I look in the mirror and I see why They don’t know I’m gone And there’s no one to cry for me I’ve become withdrawn And I’m drowning in the arms of a vengeful sea If there was a siren song That would bring you home I’d sing it all day long If there was a siren song That would show you home I’d sing it all day long Till my throat close Till my lungs afire And my fingers are bleeding to the bone I know sometimes we get lost On the path to ourselves We get caught up in the cost Of the pain and joy and everything else If there was a siren song That would bring you home I’d sing it all day long If there was a siren song That would show you home I’d sing it all day long Siren Song Album: Redemption

You opened up the door I wandered out of sight

Blindfolded in the night

Say, it’s gonna be the ride of your life so hold on

It’s gonna be the ride of your life so hold on…

I’ve been circling the world gathering up parts

The pieces of my heart

Lose too much blood

And it starts to beat slow

They work but sleep in separate homes

I’m gonna rise up, and learn to sing

I’m gonna rise up, and spread my wings

Of love

I’m gonna find out if they work this time

I’m gonna find out if they work this time

Felt my feet sinking in the quickest sands

Found on solid land

And seen a  flower grow from the stone

And things that have changed what I’ve known

I’ve taken leaps of faith that have found me on the floor

Sent me off to war

And made me a man that hid his heart underneath

I stole what I had left from off my sleeve

I’m gonna rise up, and learn to sing

I’m gonna rise up, and spread my wings

Oh lord

And fly away

Through the fog of uncertainty

Into the air of tranquility

And clean the dust from the dove

Part the clouds of possibility

Find the arc of humility

And break the rust of our love

So I opened up the door I’m ready for the flight

Grab your hand tight

Say, it’s gonna be the ride of our lives so hold on

It’s gonna be the ride of our lives so hold on

RiseUp
