On the Surface

The only reason I am here is cause to us all he made it clear

He'd like for me to sit here at your table

For other guests you poured the wine, you got to me in your sweet time

When you finally found me fit and able

If he were here he'd pour my drink, set it down before he'd even think to take a sip to cure his own thirst

To sit here with your smiles fake or stand outside with swallowed hate, well I have not decided which is worse

Are you free or are you hiding

From the things you don't agree with or believe in

Skim the text, find the lines that feed your purpose

It's so easy to love your brother on the surface

I know how quickly things can change, they'll turn their backs, curse your name

For situations seeming predetermined

And if your footing can't be found they'll shout at you to turn around

Meaning well, but clearly lacking understanding

It's true, it wasn't long ago I traveled down a crooked road that ended in explosions, consequences

I fought the bottle with the sword, but won the battle with the Lord

A power that believes in second chances

So, are you free or are you hiding

From the things you don't agree with or believe in

Skim the text, find the lines that feed your purpose

It's so easy to love your brother on the surface

The only reason we are here is cause the spirit made it clear

That love is not reserved just for our own kind

It travels over many shores, through rivers, canyons, prison doors,

And I believe it travels all the time
