Lyrics



​Dream Deeply – Goss/ Van Vliet

I’ve been traveling  since the break of day,
Bound for what, I can not say
 
And if there is a lake beyond what I see it is my dream
And if I want to wash I must dream deeply
I must dream deeply
Deeply in me
 
In the distance water seems to bar my way,
When I get there only shimmering rays.
 
Chorus
 
It’s been so long since I found this place
Out where my illusions break
   
I lay my clothes down
Down along the shore
And I lay my clothes down
And I dreaming deeply
I must dream deeply
I must dream deeply
Deeply in me
 
 
Coming Back to Brave - Goss

I love the way you make my heart beat
I love the way it shoots me straight up to you
Hands start to shake
Shocked wide awake
You place me before you
And you push me right through
 
You push me through
 
I love this fear and this aching
How I have nothing to do
I love my foundations quaking
Shaking away every thing that ain’t true
 
Shaking it away
 
And as I lay beneath this love
You’re helping me to wake up
Help me to finally wake up
Help me to finally wake up
Help me to finally wake up
 
I love the way you made me a soldier
I love the way I am coming back to brave
I love the way you teach me in my dreams
I’m trying to understand that I have no one to save
 
And I’m coming back to brave


 
Unstitched – Goss/ Van Vliet
 
Blue lifts first to the east:
the sky untethered.
I know the terror of seeing:
I am on my knees.
My need tastes like ground:
 
Crossed palm reaching.
I give unto you.
Bare wrist like an offering:
My tongue like a river:
the mercy of rain.
 
I have been unstitched by god:
Brought down to my ruin
I am tilled and planted with prayer.
 
The body’s ripe sorrow:
A heron lifting from the marshes.
My prayer rooted in this soil:
Words unfurl like a new leaf.
I plead to you
Crows shifting on the hillside.
The sky untethered
I am on my knees.
 
 
88% More - Goss
 
First of all I want to say I’m sorry, boy
For not coming for you sooner
I don’t know when it was I made the deal
To let you go, but each day
It makes me a little angrier
 
I bought the lie
I took the easy road
Time after time after time
Now the split is clear
And in each moment the
Choice is mine
 
And I want 88% more…
 
Slowly I’m seeing how this world
Has kicked the innocence out of me
I walked so deeply Narnia once
I knew every whisker, every bird, every tree
 
Then I bought the lie
I listened to the discontented
Time after time after time
Now the split is clear
And in each moment the choice is mine
 
And I want 88% more…
 
I’m looking for all of me now
Going down for all of me now
 
The Harley I’m afraid to ride
The Tornados that make me run and hide
The pain I do not want to feel
The sword I am afraid to wield
To follow you over the waterfall
To just fall and fall and fall and fall
I want my soul now
I want it all…

Jericho – Goss
 
Headache boy
With untied shoes
Through the lumber yard
With no safety fuse
On his heart
 
Mud puddles
He’d walk around
Moving carefully
Stepping all around
His heart
 
And there was nothing he could do
When he knew she loved him so
She would take him by the hands and sing
And his walls would crumble
Like Jericho’s
 
She could climb
To where he hid within
Love came through her
And just poured into his heart
 
A gift of light and destiny
Knowing that he was supposed to be
With his heart
 
And there was nothing he could do
When he knew she loved him so
In the kitchen there was always dancing
And his walls would crumble
Like Jericho’s
 
 
Land of Me – Goss/ Van Vliet
 
Hold me in this darkest of places where I cannot see
know only by feel this body this land of me.
 
I bring to you my body like bread,
broken in remembrance of you.
I bring to you my empty heart
to be made a chalice of
 
I am nothing but this agony
and your tender intimacy
Like a tulip cupped to collect
the healing waters of you
 
Hold me in this darkest of places where I cannot see
know only by feel this body this land of me.
 
I am nothing if I can not come to you,
wrecked and true.
I want to come, not in ruins
but in glowing radiance.
 
How hard to stand before you in my woundednesss,
to let you love me, love me, love me
to let you love me
even here in the pouring rain.
 
Omega Man  - Goss
 
 
Omega Man
Is that what you need to be
Standing strong against the hurricane
Unfailing for your family
 
The Waves will break upon you
Until the end of time
You rage so fiercely against them
You can’t hear they’re calling you in…
 
Omega man
The way your father lived
The storms broke upon him
They took all he could give
 
They took him away in pieces
When you were still a boy
If you could hear his voice now
He is saying let the waves, boy
Pull you in…
 
Omega man
I was mean when we were young
Thought I did for the least of my brethren
You remained the staunch unsung
 
I turn at last to see you
Was Lost but now I’m found
You have gone to stand point
I can only cry out loud
And be pulled in…
 
 
Half Way Through – Goss
 
If this is true
       Then that was false
If this is the dance
       Then that was our last waltz
The door was opened
       And I stepped on through
I guess I couldn’t bear to hear
The other one being closed by you
 
Things get true
About half way through
 
If this is bright
      Then that was dark
If this is being struck by lightning
       That didn’t even spark
We jumped in – drove it down the road
Without even checking on the gas
It wasn’t crazy or impetuous
But I thought it would at least last
 
Things get true
About half way through
When you’re half way through
 
Half way down the road
We hit an intersection
From where you got out to go on
I could see my old directions
Blessings are sometimes the deepest blue
Sometime they come
About half way through
 
If this is found
       I guess that was lost
If this is the product
       That sure enough was the cost
Eating up our equity with new debt
While the value was inflated
I’ll be paying off this note
Long after the memories have faded…
 
 
 
Don’t Let Go - Goss
 
Standing here at this point in my life
He has handed me a cup
Brimming with light
I’ll be totally His with just one sip
If I can bring this chalice to my lips
 
Oh, please don’t let me go
Now that I’m finally on this road
Oh, please don’t leave me now
‘Cause I’m gonna move through this place
I’m gonna move through it somehow
 
And I followed her – I leapt from the balcony
Fell slowly through space
Landed next to her in the tree
Now I have to fall again
Fall away from her
And fall into Him
 
Oh, please don’t let me go…
 
 
 
From Within Me  - Goss
 
Give me the words
Unlock this place
Show me the depths
 
Desire runs like a river
from my heart
A river
 
From within me
From where I cannot see
From within me
From where my Father speaks
 
Make me weightless
I have no more need for right
Please turn me slowly
Turn my face toward the light
Towards this blue light
 
You put within me…
