Mightily

I saw love in your eyes
And I saw worry behind
The questions, confusion
This strange lovely life

"What is" is a miracle
of chaos and entropy
"What will" is a question
A strange, lovely mystery

Say what you know and
know what you mean
Be free with your thoughts and
share all your dreams
Be strong in your voice and
be kind in your words
Be sweet with your sweet thing
and sing like the birds
Say what you’re thinking
and tell what you feel
Always let truth speak
Her words can heal

A song with no rhythm
A bland melody
A waste of a lyric
with no voice to sing

The thought only counts if
you give it a goddamn try
Afraid she’ll scorn you
but you know that’s a goddamn lie

Be warm with your greetings
Give hopeful goodbyes
Laugh with your belly and
even more with your eyes
Be quick with a compliment
and slow with critique
Be careful of bitterness
when your tongue’s in your cheek

Cause she can feel it
when you don’t mean what you say
Oh she’ll feel it
in the way you say her name

Say what you know and
know what you mean
Be free with your thoughts and
share all your dreams
Be strong in your voice and
Be kind in your words
Be sweet with your sweetheart
and sing like the birds

I took the only road that I knew
a crazy kind of circle, but it led me right to you
It wasn’t for the fickle, nor for the faint of heart
At times I thought I’d lost my mind and worlds just fell apart
Here among the ashes and a burning, broken heart
sifting through the ruins, looking for a place to start
you found me with a brick or two, weeping as I built
You added to the pile and told me that you…

You love me mightily

I’m walking round in circles still
There’s just some things, some deep down pains
that even love can’t heal
But there’s strength within the love that we share
It’s hard sometimes, but inside your eyes
I see a future there
It fills my heart with hope and fear
but I’ll brave this road that I hope leads home to you

I’ll tell you I love you mightily

We thought we’d take a stroll
but there was lightning
So we took a seat and watched the show
of lightning
The air fairly crackled with an energy
Your face fairly glowed, you were so lovely
In the lightning

What’s the chance we’d both get struck
by lightning?
Can’t you feel it coursing through your blood
like lightning?
If there’s storm clouds around we’re the eye of the storm
While the thunder resounds through our very souls
This lightning

Oh I thought I’d bear my soul
To the lightning
It strikes deep down to my bones
This lightning
The moon, the clouds, the tempest sounds
The silver bolts come streaking down
Such lightning

When I think of turning gray
There’s lightning
If there’s nothing left to say
There’ll be lightning
If everything crumbles and the world’s gonna blow
We’ll sit out together and we’ll watch the show
Such lightning

What’s the chance we’d both get struck
by lightning?
Can’t you feel it coursing through your blood
like lightning?
If there’s storm clouds around we’re the eye of the storm
While the thunder resounds through our very souls
This lightning

Oh I thought I’d bear my soul
To the lightning
It strikes deep down to my bones
This lightning
The moon, the clouds, the tempest sounds
The silver bolts come streaking down
Such lightning

Oh I thought I’d bear my soul
To the lightning
