Keep You from Fear
I rush like a ghost through this salmon haze
To escape the shadows of this sisyphean stain
Where fires burn, for my little lass and lad
To have you stand on my shoes and call me dad
How I adore you, you are my air
I go before you, so I can pay your fare
And keep you from your fears
We shuffle our words like books inside a tea-chest
In this long goodbye, buried inside my breast
I watch you sleep, leave letters for your blood
One more breath, before I return to the mud
He's the calmest King, the one for who I was born
The kindest quest, the whisper inside the storm
He's the diamond pulled from the blackest coal
He's the maker and the lover of my soul
And keeps me from my fears
I stand in death, on the tip of his shoes
Beneath his umbrella, with nothing left to lose
And call you softly to this special place
And raise His arms to seal you in His embrace
To escape the shadows of this sisyphean stain
Where fires burn, for my little lass and lad
To have you stand on my shoes and call me dad
How I adore you, you are my air
I go before you, so I can pay your fare
And keep you from your fears
We shuffle our words like books inside a tea-chest
In this long goodbye, buried inside my breast
I watch you sleep, leave letters for your blood
One more breath, before I return to the mud
He's the calmest King, the one for who I was born
The kindest quest, the whisper inside the storm
He's the diamond pulled from the blackest coal
He's the maker and the lover of my soul
And keeps me from my fears
I stand in death, on the tip of his shoes
Beneath his umbrella, with nothing left to lose
And call you softly to this special place
And raise His arms to seal you in His embrace
