1. A SLAVE, A SON.

When I continued to run away
What kept me in your hands?
Did you ever think your flock would stray
Or that they wouldn't understand
When you said, "Wait here
Til I return with your brother
That was lost to the ways of the world?
Catch me in your arms
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes
And, once there I rest
Never let me go. No!
Never let me go!
It was your love that said

You're no longer a slave, but a son
What could I learn
By fighting the fires
With matches and gasoline?
Oh how cruel and melodramatic are we
For trying to make sense
Of all of this!

Just don't let me fall back
Through the clouds, to the ground
Catch me in your arms, like the stars
You hold in your hands


2. ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE

For so long I have waited
For this sense of urgency
For as long as I can remember
I've always been the type
Of person to just give in

I want to run just as fast I came in
I want to have the chance
To flee the scene
And to find peace
Oh, it's so hard to find relief
With this excess sensitivity
To the crimes that have been
Committed to others, not only me

How long must I wait
Til I'm at peace again?
And how long must I wait
Til I am whole again?
Oh, how long must I wait
Til I'm at peace again?
And how long must I wait
To see your face again?

I've got one foot in the present day
And one foot in the grave
I've got one foot in the present day
And one foot in the grave
One foot in the present day
And one foot in the grave
One foot in the present day
And one foot in the grave

But, it's your grace that gives us
The second chances that we don't deserve
And that we take for granted
But, it's your grace that gives us
The second chances that we don't deserve
And that we take for granted

How long must I wait
Til I'm at peace again?
And how long must I wait
Til I am whole again?
Oh, how long must I wait
Til I'm at peace again?
And how long must I wait
To see your face again?
(To see your face again)
To see your face again
(To see your face again)
To see your face again
(To see your face again)
To see your face again
(To see your face again)


3. BURN AWAY

Reveal yourself to me,
Something physical like the ground beneath my feet.
Or show yourself to me with a summer breeze
Blowing in between winter's trees
As far as the eyes can see.

And I'll wait here,
Patiently and watch the world slowly burn itself away,
Just burn itself away
And I'll dance here
Like a mad-man to the world,
But I don't care!
No, I don't care!
No no no

So I'll sit here
And watch the world slowly turning round and round
As it effortlessly dances with the sun.
And with the changing of the seasons,
I'll find another reason

And I'll wait here,
Patiently and watch the world slowly burn itself away,
Just burn itself away
And I'll dance here
Like a mad-man to the world,
But I don't care!
No, I don't care!
No no no

No no no

And I'll wait here,
Patiently and watch the world slowly burn itself away,
Just burn itself away
And I'll dance here
Like a mad-man to the world,
But I don't care!
No, I don't care!

And I'll wait here,
Patiently and watch the world slowly burn itself away,
Just burn itself away
And I'll dance here
Like a mad-man to the world,
But I don't care!
No, I don't care!
No no no
