Relief

from Desert of Grace by Patrick Foster and The Locomotive

	/

lyrics

I am not absolute,
Though I am here for you,
The world could cut me down,
And I would be gone too,
There’s only so much,
That I can do,
To save you from falling down,
And pulling me right through,

I want more life,
I want more belief,
I want more spiritual,
To pull down more relief,
From my day to day,
Consumerism theif,
From my day to day warring soul,

Forgive me, for you’ll see,
Though in this moment, I seem so alive,
But you’ll see, as I cease to breathe,
The sorrow in my eyes, as I leave you behind,

I want more life,
I want more belief,

I want more spiritual,
To pull down more relief,
From my day to day,
Consumerism thief,
From my day to day warring soul,

Don’t forget us,
Though I won’t be here,
Recall the heart in my laugh the joy in my shout,

And days remembered,
Marked by such fear,
Courageous as I walk I still doubt,
And without this days,
Just pass in haze,
I’m sick from thoughts of you,
And as for those fears,
They’ll drown in years,
Of dreaming,
Of dreaming,
Walk in right, walk the plank,
Risk your life and you will thank me,
Bear your words and hold your rank,
Face your mind and clear it quickly,
Strive for light and strive for beauty,
For in it’s justice and in it’s duty,
I’ll strive to channel all these through me,
And aspire to not let this die alone,
Can’t let this die alone.

I want more life,
I want more belief,
I want more spiritual,
To pull down more relief,
From my day to day,
Consumerism theif,
From my day to day warring soul.
