Story Behind The Song

a conversation to God, paralleled with a conversation to a girl...

Song Description

Acoustic track to the likes of Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Howie day, dave matthews... Upbeat tempo, generally happy sounding, but with an underlying sadness... vocals have a hip hop feel at times... someeddie vedder type grit as the song elevates towards the end...

Lyrics

(chorus)
Turning to face you I fulfill my duty
I open up and you look straight through me
Oh my Lord I pray you renew me
Erase the day I made my debut? (Job 3:3)
Like an old flame burns into me
Again? ?Cause I held it too closely
There were days when her tears would soak me
But I let it cloak me
You can?t camouflage what?s true?

Life begins on a limb
What else have you got to be afraid of?
Let me die rising to my feet
Not falling into a fading future

(chorus)

Claim defeat and drink it in
Hang up the line, call the fight
Accusations, actions taken
Try and fake them or awaken

(Bridge)
And from this trip I?m never coming back
I?m just a sojourner on a slow journey to the truth
Facts & faith make a framework in the midst
Fate, creation & evolution coexist
Cooperate & facilitate, quietly assist
Create my own cell default to catalyst, or
Craft my own heaven & influence earth
Same story written on my face since birth

I face the light with shadows behind me
Eyes wide as the brightness blinds me
Nowhere I can go where you won?t find me (Psalm 139:7)
Begging for change paid overdue?
Like a long lost love reminds me
Again? I should say thank you kindly
Ain?t it strange how events are timely?
I let it define me
You can?t camouflage what?s true

(chorus)

Withdraw in all the words misconstrued
Extreme sensations won?t be subdued
Hunger so intense hidden from view
Cannot conceal how I feel about you
Can?t camouflage what?s true
