Strife

Granted Eternal Life
You’d think it was strife
Over an earthly life
While living in Heaven

It is easy to step out
And hold your own
But with God
We are all but lost

Dreaming in forgiveness
And lowering expectations
Posits a loving environment
To love you forever is what I meant

Life

Your love my dear
Catches me here
Wish you were not so quiet
All of a sudden

Grasping straws
Enabling flaws
Seeking sanctuary
A prison instead

Wish I knew my crime
If it was to love somebody
And it meant death or life
Always choose life

Cause I want to dance with you
And hear you sing from your heart
Open up the skies
And have the sunshine set us all apart
