Spiritual Warfare

Marry me to the blue sky

Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain

Meet me where they stop time

That’s you to me on the shovel

That’s digging deep grave

Till I can waltz on the moonbeam

Till I can find a way to turn all tears into wine

I’ll hitch my ride to a daydream

We can’t unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind

I ain’t living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I’ve seen what hate has done to hope

Tomorrow wasn’t built to last

I ain’t living with the ghost

How can I scream I’m scared to breathe?

I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline

I ain’t living with the ghost

I set my sails over wheat fields

Rode waves of amber let a new sunshine on my face

I dropped the sword, put down my shield

I left your scars for the stars that are guiding my way

I traded hurting for healing, I must admit that I was reeling

Now I’m feeling just fine

Traded nightmares for dreaming

Go tell your shadows that I got out alive!

I ain’t living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I’ve seen what hurt has done to hope

I found the tree, I cut the rope

Tomorrow wasn’t built to last

I ain’t living with the ghost

How can I scream I’m scared to breathe?

I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline

I ain’t living with the ghost

Last night I had this dream

I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water

Then he worked up to his knees

From his arms to his neck

Said I’m in over my head

He was crying, trying to get some relief

Lord, I’m just trying to get some relief

I had this dream

That man was me

I ain’t living with the ghost

No future living in the past

I’ve seen what hurt has done to hope

I found the tree, I cut the rope

Tomorrow wasn’t built to last

I ain’t living with the ghost

How can I scream I’m scared to breathe?

I wrote each word you gave the toast

But we were fire and gasoline

I ain’t living with the ghost

This isn’t how the story ends

My friends it’s just a fork along the road

Don’t say your prayers, save your amens

You’ve come this far, but you’re still far from home

Don’t say goodbye, just say farewell

Write every line you’ll live to tell

Hold your head high, like harry

Give ‘em hell

As the night ignites the day

Make some memories along the way, ay

Write your song

Sing along

Love your life

Learn to laugh

Dare to dance

Touch the sky

Take pictures each step of the way

Make this the best of you the rest of your days

Start your revolution

And I’ll see you at the reunion

Some friends will go and some will stay

Ok, some last a chapter, some a page

For some, love some disguised as lust

But you’ll find love when you find trust one day

Do better than our parent did

Imperfect husband, wife and kids

Go chart your course, then turn it upside down

Go live your life eyes open wide

Who’s to say what’s wrong or right? Right?

Write your song

Sing along

Love your life

Learn to laugh

Dare to dance

Touch the sky

Take pictures each step of the way

Make this the best of you the rest of your days

Start your revolution

And I’ll see you at the reunion

As the night ignites the day

Make some memories along the way!

Write your song

Sing along

Love your life

Learn to laugh

Dare to dance

Touch the sky

Take pictures each step of the way

Make this the best of you the rest of your days

Start your revolution

And I’ll see you at the reunion

I say go start your own revolution
