Angel in the Lightning

There’s an angel in the lightning, where the lightning hit the tree
It takes a certain set of eyes and state of mind to even see
So give me eyes to see and give me heart to wonder
Give me such a hope as to believe that things under the thunder
Are where you and I find the divine and heaven shows its face
And the stars they only do align seen from our point in space
So the wood is charred, the leaves are gone; the storm it stole its glory
But the angels sing a different song and tell a different story
Would you listen out tonight?
Would you listen out? Would you listen out?
Would you listen out tonight?
Would you listen out? Would you listen out?
We’ve all seen the plastic bag and seen it dancing in the wind
We all need a little hope ‘cause we’re all bruised beneath the skin
Oh my God, I need a light, I need a different kind of sight
I need an altar in the world, I found a field, I found a pearl
Would you listen out tonight?
Would you listen out? Would you listen out?
Would you listen out tonight?
Would you listen out? Would you listen out?
There’s another song
Get your rhythm on
Feel the beat and how it’s
Pounding in the ground you’re standing on

Chicken Bones

You and I are overgrown
Adult size but adult, no
Little flame exposed
Playful make your home
The sun is low in winter skies
With shadow long and dazzle bright
How close we are to light
Little flame ignite
Burning off the mist
Of the morning, o my story
Is not gonna end like this
Flame is growing, little glowing
It’s nothing more than chicken bones
Cook ‘em up it smells like home
But you’ll be home tonight
You’ll be home tonight

Hiding Sun

I’ve had enough of feeling rough and getting through
I’m tired of being careful and holding you
I run on empty, run on rhythm, run my time down
I’m waiting patiently, I’m waiting way too much now
Close your eyes a little
Let the darkness find you
Slow your mind a little
Let the Divine find you time to be
You’re flaking up and breaking up, you’re nearly done
You’re tired of waiting for the dawn, the hiding sun
You know to take the positives, you know your mind
I know the passion narrative, I know there’s always time to love
Close your eyes a little
Let the darkness find you
Slow your mind a little
Let the Divine find you time to be
I once knew a man who said, ‘You make your own luck’
But then the first shall be first and the last can get fucked
So we turned it around, it got turned on its head
The kingdom came close and the Alchemist said,
‘Give me your weary ones, give me your grief,
I’ll laugh when you laugh and I’ll weep when you weep
But more than that child, I will give you my hand
And we’ll turn tears to gold and sow them in the land
Sow your seed a little
Let the saviour take your
Golden tears a little
Further than you might believe
