Earthly Lyrics

The star stands still in darkness as the moon looks down at me

The crickets play as bullfrogs sing the water's testimony

The rain and thunder teach me hymns, the ashtray says, you owe me

The wonder's in a lost man's head when he asks himself, if only

I saw his fear beneath his smile as his soul cried out in silence

Am I alone, or am I home, or are they even divided

He tasted life, he tasted death, he swam in good and evil

He'd walked the line and did his time, living in between them

He stumbled back from the last of memories that flash in black

He mumbled as he slowly passed the history of his troubled past

He sat in void and nature's noise told him to be quiet

Be filled with joy, let love destroy the slumber of the silence

He gazes out across the calm, the sky danced on the mirror

He paced around another psalm as he begged the Lord, speak clear

The Lord said, son, you've lived and run, you have nowhere left to go

Walk with me and I will teach all that you need to know

A drifter he was, a drifter he is, a drifter through the light

He already is, the light always was, the whisper in the night

He wandered towards an open door, his eyes consumed with glory

He entered in, and that's the end of this man's earthly story
