When I wake for the day
Will you hold me and tell me that I'll be okay
In the sun's rising light
Could I catch some to keep for the upcoming night
And when you finally go
Will you miss me the moment you leave, I must know
Will you still feel the warmth of the love that we sowed
Will you take it with you while you're out on the road
I will walk in the light
Let the world see my face as it's painted with pride
Yes, I will hold my head high
Though it pounds day and night as I'm wondering why
Is there peace I will find
In a well deep enough for the rest of my life
And can I go there to hide
Blowing in on the wind, drifting out on the tide
Wind my way through these streets and get lost in my stride
Let my mind shrivel up and my heart open wide
And if you ever return
Will you find that I've healed, will you find that I've burned
That I stood in the fire
Taught my brain not to think, gave my muscles for hire
Yes, I stood in the flame
And I burned off my sins and I burned off my shame
And I burned off my scars and I burned off my name
And I burned up my soul, love, and now, I'm not the same
When I lay my head down
Will it be in my bed or a bed that I've found
Or will I sleep on the ground
There's direction in earth and I'm all turned around
Will I sleep through the night
If I'm holding so hard that my knuckles are white
When I've wasted my days and I've wasted my light
When I'm tired of life and I sleep out of spite

Jonah Spungin Toronto, Ontario
As at home behind an acoustic guitar as in front of an orchestra, from the opera house to my living room, I'm really just happy to be making organized noise.
Thanks for listening!
