Story Behind The Song
My thoughts on God in His various manifestations... God is everywhere, but WE NEED HIM HERE.
Song Description
A prophetic look at life, where Faith exists, but in an unrealistic stagnating manner. This song is a quest for the return of Faith and wonder, beauty and Joy and a need to feel the presence of God as we know Him, here in this real world.

Lyrics
We need you God:
Stirring roots with rain,
Drinking coffee through memory and pain,
Clutching handfuls of grisly images
Floating through an un-living brain.
Looking at the incredible silence,
In that twisted, broken, dull lane,
Stirring dry roots with rain,
With crazy, unhalting, spring rain.
So many sighs undone by death,
Faceless children with stranger breath,
Lifting shadows
Lifting shadows
Of heartless time,
That swallows lives and ends the story
Of every dream,
Empties bottles of sunbeam,
And ends the story
Of every dream,
Every dream.
{Chorus: Give us back our dream
Every dream}
Kill death and breathe life into life
Stay with us god
We need you,
Live on in this real city
Live on here oh God
We need you,
God have mercy
Stop running away God
To your unreal city
Kill death and breathe life into life
Stay with us god
We need you,
Give us back our dream
Every dream
Dream, every dream,
Dream
Dream, dream.
Fury grows in every heart,
Swallows, disowns sweet love,
Soulless voices sing of delicate loathing,
Hatred seems ever so haunting,
Ever so haunting,
Full of loathing
Delicate loathing
Primeval loathing.
Oozing from the drifting unchanging sea,
Whispering secrets of odium,
Turning violets to stone,
The sea spitting out its scum,
Of hate, revenge
The promise of death
Ending breath with breath.
No breaking loose from this hell where
Hatred seems ever so haunting,
Ever so haunting
Full of loathing
Delicate loathing
Primeval loathing.
God who are you
Where are you
What idea are you
What submission?
Wrench the pain
Ease the torment
Don?t make this happen again
And again and again
Stop
Stirring dry roots with rain,
With crazy, unhalting, spring rain.
{Chorus: Give us back our dream
Every dream}
Kill death and breathe life into life
Stay with us god
We need you,
Live on in this real city
Live on here oh God
We need you,
God have mercy
Stop running away God
To your unreal city
Kill death and breathe life into life
Stay with us god
We need you,
Give us back our dream
Every dream
Dream, every dream,
Dream
Dream, dream.
