Unity

Reality doesn't make that much sense to me
It's hard to see how it's inevitable that this bizarre collage would be
And if it's not then why did it happen to turn out like this
Tryn' to find a separate cause just begs an infinite regress
I guess I should sing more and talk less
I've learned enough from books to make an educated mess
But then I see you here and my confusion disappears and everything gets crystal clear
And light floods from your face
It makes good on the illusion of time and space
All the edges bleed and I'm a part of what I see
An unmistakable unity
Our destiny is written down irrevocably in the stars
The laws of nature leave no latitude in what we do or who we are
But so what if free will is just one more delusion to let go of
Sit back and let the story unfold to feel love
So I don't blame you for the things you've done to cut me down to size
I know that you've been hurt too and it couldn't be otherwise
Accordingly I can forgive myself 'cuz I know I'm blameless too
The only thing that's left to do
Is to catch the light that floods from your eyes
It conveys a shade of feeling that I cannot describe
My defenses fall and I yield to what I see
A self-sufficient unity
And light floods from your face
It makes good on the illusion of time and space
All the edges bleed and I'm a part of what I see
An unmistakable unity

The sacred quiet greets you at the door
Your spirit gently rising through the floors
Ten million lives laid on the shelves to know
An impossible immensity to hold the
weight of such august assays as these
A burden that when carried sets you free
The hours engrossed in depths to comprehend
In solitude amongst familiar friends
Drink deep
Only then pour out your heart
The eternal snows appear already past
The first clouds and mountains seem the last
But those attained we tremble to survey
The growing labors of the lengthened way
Drink deep
Only then pour out your heart

Sing For Me

Timeworn tools of the trade help you make it through
Keep on turning tricks to get by until they're a part of you
It's been so long since your voice rang out
The things that we've been through have saddled us both with doubts
But it would take away the pain if you could find it in your heart to sing for me
We've each made our bargain, the world takes its due, but if you would let down your walls then I know that your soul would shine through
And it would chase my cares away if you could open up your heart and sing for me
Unspoken words, too true to say
Guess we fell out of step somewhere along the way
But it would wipe the hurt away if you could find it in your heart to sing for me
Yeah it would take away the pain if you would open up your heart and sing for me
