Aiming High

Aiming High
aiming high
head above the water
maybe this time
I won't even bother
moving momentarily
through me
barely breath
as you walk
right through me
and I see
I see

Roll with the Thunder

Roll with the thunder
o He rolls through the thunder and light
thunder and the endless sky
o He runs through the river so wide
rivers and ocean tides
if you’re gonna roll
better roll with Him
you can roll with the thunder
or the darkness instead
if you’re gonna run
better run with Him
you gonna run with the devil
see how far you can get now
o He calls from the highest mountain
from the highest in the howling wind
o He died and He rose again
conquering sin
the beginning and end
if you’re gonna call
better call on him
you can call from the mountain
or the bottom of the pit
if you’re gonna rise
better rise with Him
you can’t climb with the devil
and you know you can’t win
you know it
if you’re gonna run through the dark unarmed
you better pray you come back unharmed
you better pray
if you’re gonna run through the dark unarmed
you better pray you come back unharmed
pray
If you’re gonna run
better run with Him
you can roll with the thunder
or the darkness instead
and if you’re roll
better roll with Him
if you roll with the devil
you know you can’t win
you know you can’t win
you know

Running Blind

Running Blind
you don’t wanna see pain
you don’t wanna see pain
you don’t wanna see pain
so you close your eyes up tight
and you run the other way
and you run the other way
and you run the other way
and you lock yourself inside
but there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no lock or no blinds
ever gonna save your life
all the windows and blinds
all the television lies
they won’t help you child
cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
running blind
you don’t ever wanna bleed
you don’t ever wanna bleed
no you never wanna bleed
so you cut and stab and fight
and you spread that poison seed
and you spread that poison seed
and you plant that poison seed
and it grows deep and far and wide
but there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no gun, ain’t no knife
ever gonna save your life
all the tanks and the mines
all the military lies
they won’t help you child
cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
if you’re running blind
you don’t ever wanna need
you don’t ever wanna need
no you never wanna need
so you steal and take and buy
and you speak of hate and greed
and you speak of hate and greed
Lord, you speak of hate and greed
but you’re hollowed out inside
and there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no gun or no knife
ever gonna save your life
all the suits and the ties
all the lipstick and the style
they won’t help you child
cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
running blind

Knock On Wood

Knock On Wood
you can do what you want
you can keep doing wrong
you can, but you better
knock on wood
you can go all out
you can keep running around
you can but you better
knock on wood
he’s gonna catch you
out running around
and when he does
he’s gonna cut you down
he’s got red eyes
he’s got pointy boots
he’s got you in his sights
knocking on wood
he’s got you telling
he’s got you surely fooled
he’s got you rolling dice
knocking on wood
he’s gonna keep you close
gonna hold you tight
singing baby needs
a new pair of shoes
go on and roll them dice
he’s gonna drain you
’til you’re broke
and flat out stuck
and I ain’t hanging ‘round
to see your
no good bad
no good bad
no good bad luck
better knock on wood
