Now Is Here 04:58
time come, peel back your racing nerves my friend you won't satisfy your wanting heart time come, let off your anxious bones my friend you won't satisfy your wanting heart somewhere is on your breath now is where we are

Fanna 04:05
my fingers drag like roots grasping at the dirt and the leaves my feet, a solid cut of granite her bones are hollow only filled with light which warms the sea with me lifting her face to smile at the sun I see her feathers caressing the breeze the wind passing through their fingers anxiously awaiting to take hold and let her body soar it's then i realize if i could just open up my arms we could float like ash on a flame rising gloriously into destruction

The Stranger 04:11
I'm a stranger in this land selling smiles to mend my head some dark fault is my own shame soon my skin will begin to break What's in the Light is in my heart though my eyes will never see that far I travel without certainty every step to build a well of peace, which isn't found in me Patient, son, as the world marches on the trials of your faith won't be small so pour out all the answers from you head and we'll fall in love again I'm a river breaking forth silence I've never heard before accepting all but follow none this is the path that I must run I would give up everything to understand you Lord I would give up everything to understand your love I would give up everything to understand your ways I would give up anything to understand your grace I hope I find you someday.
4.
the orange and red of our memories set over the horizon as I sit below a willow tree I hope your worries all fade into the night and the this letter brings you light tell me what you have learned since you've been home I'm back to working hours and searching for an honest song yes my confusion has grown but I'll be fine I've learned to thank the mystery of life my friend I have no doubt that you're okay there's peace I see in you that won't go away no matter where you end up you'll find your joy I don't quite know why we're saying goodbye you know you haven't seen the last of me and if you feel alone just call me up you'll soon know that we all miss you like the setting sun and Arkansas' just not the same with you gone the orange and red of our memory set over the horizon as I set under a willow tree my friend I have no doubt that you're okay there's peace I see in you that won't go away
