Hold the Morning

Thank you for the invite

To dance on golden streets

Leave the broken skyline

And charcoal cloud debris

I would likely join you if I weren't busy

But tonight my confession list is long

I will sit back, relax, and hold my head to the sun

Sit back, relax, and hold my head to the sun.

We will sing to thunder

Clap as the earth shakes

Hug under a hurricane

As we bypass the fiery lake

I will read my scripture in Dostoevsky

Change my television to twenty three

I will sit back, relax and wait for what's coming to me

Sit back, relax and hold my head to the sea.

We will leave our sails on trees

While chariots swing by the breeze

Lift our lamps unto the streets

May all the kings and soldiers see

Our lives are lonely enough without destruction

Calm your cares and families

And I will hold the morning for you

Take the time for townships and classics to be read

Finding all the soft skin that will fit in a feather bed

Let me spread my paper and sleep for centuries

The door will be there if you choose to return

I will sit back, relax and watch the mountaintops burn

Sit back, relax and wait for my voice to be heard.

We will leave our sails on trees

While chariots swing by the breeze

Lift our lamps unto the streets

May all the kings and soldiers see

All our lives are lonely enough without destruction

Calm your cares and families

And be part of division

All our lives are lonely enough without destruction

Calm your cares and families

And I will hold the morning for you

And I will hold the morning for you.
