Yes, It's True (For AJ)

I'll chase you
Through waterfalls
Down fishing piers
Up mountains
Above clouds
Yes, it's true

I'll hold you
Through storm clouds
Down bumpy roads
Up on rainy days
Under starry skies
Yes, it's true

I'll sing to you
Through the years
Down on the beach
Up in crowded places
Above all other sounds
Yes, it's true

I'll write for you
Through the phone
Down on notes 
Up on sidewalks
Under hidden spots
Yes it's true

I'll be true to you
Through every turn
Down every mile
Up every river
Above all else
Yes, it's true

Exercises in Futility

I came upon a red light
Of which I blew right through
Slowing my course, yeah right
I had many things yet to do
No real grasp on any thought
But ask me if I knew everything
And I'd convince you that I ought
For to me, no humility would cling
To my outsides nor my innards
Pride became a mask that I wore
While I toiled away in vineyards
My boat was miles away from shore
By the time that I lost all hope
No one amongst the sea to save me
Yet a man named Jesus had a rope
He reined me in and then set me free
For His Glory, I recount His works
I'd be foolish to forget the past
For in it, all of my evil lurks
But no longer do its shadows cast
The darkest clouds of yesteryear
Like when I ran through life alone
That angry man who lived in fear
Has been cast away to parts unknown

The Woman Next To You

How it feels is how its supposed to
Forgetting all that came way before
The moment when she looks at you
Surely blows perception to and fro
You take her hand and whisper
That you have no other place to be
For this moment you've waited long
And long is how your heart feels
When she's laying on  your chest
You never got what you wanted
And your glad it didn't fall your way
Because she is more than the past
And your future is in her smile
She may not see your butterflies yet
But hers are already dancing too
Her laugh crumbles away your heart
For which you gladly let it fall
You tell her you'll do anything at all
And she believes your every word
Because she sees the way you look
When she's not looking at you at all
And the world blends into brilliance
The past just fades away to dust
For each new moment has a place
That never existed before now
And you know you'll do whatever
To chase dreams with her tomorrow
When woman next to you is everything
You never knew she would be
