Crying (a song)

I walk the floor of the lonely home
I look out at the grey skies
Alone I pace the room
And lay down because I can take it no longer

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing for the arms I cannot reach
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, hear my pain
I don't want to be alone anymore

Fever in my mind and soul
God free me from solitude
Alone I am at loss
And grieving because I thought I was strong alone

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing for a friendly face and smile
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, hurts so hard
I can't stand to be alone anymore

But I'm too weak to move
Too scared to change
Breaking from my flaws and wrongs
God why give me cares and love,
Sensitivity and compassion
When I'm too weak to be any of these things
I'm useless
broken
dying
I can't stand to be alone anymore

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing to share the joy of life
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, yet softly
I don't want to be alone anymore.

Black Flight

One solitary feather I found,
The breeze teasing it off the ground.
In the light, the way it fluttered,
The raven's name I spluttered.
Long had they not been seen,
But upon this land, upon this green,
The violet and the blue,
The green and golden true,
Shine so soft within my hand.
Where does it fly, its owner grand?

I looked in the distance to see him there,
The places he had been I knew not where.
But there he flew, quick and strong
Onward, onward, his flight so long.
May-hap it be that I live as he,
My journey flows o'er land and sea,
Our paths are the same, this raven and I,
We both have hearts that touch the sky.
Though through trials and troubles we trod,
Still we fly, the created of God.
