Lyric Man Poet Lyric

THE CLAY

[Verse 1]
A doctor or the lost and found
Can’t heal my heart or remove this frown
Find my wandering muse when everything's upside down
Even hands can hurt on a spinning wheel, going round

[Pre-Chorus]
I need some hope, a scribble in the sand
Sweat in the mud, someone to understand
The rhyme in the chaos, that I’m more than this lack
See a light in total darkness, maybe belief can bring me back

[Chorus]
Cause all feeling is gone,
Has it died or run away?
Am I a ghost or still a man?
Will love rise again one day?
Am I walking to you or nowhere?
Can I even ever know it?
If there’s beauty in the dirt,
Could a poet somehow show it?

[Hook]
Oh-oh-oh, I’m waiting for the light,
Oh-oh-oh, I’m reaching through the night,
Oh-oh-oh, hope’s got to find its way,
Oh-oh-oh, I’ll be alright one day.

[Verse 2]
Can you feel my wilderness?
Without a sound, I’m calling you
Tangled thoughts, lost in the wind
Are any of them getting through?
Taste my echo, feel my heart
Can you see when I can’t say?
Wondering soul, so far gone
Only the potter remakes the clay

[Pre-Chorus]
I need some hope, a scribble in the sand
Sweat in the mud, someone to understand
The rhyme in the chaos, that I’m more than this lack
See a light in total darkness, maybe belief can bring me back

[Chorus]
Cause all feeling is gone,
Has it died or run away?
Am I a ghost or still a man?
Will love rise again one day?
Am I walking to you or nowhere?
Can I even ever know it?
If there’s beauty in the dirt,
Could a poet somehow show it?

[Bridge]
I’m not lost, I’m just waiting,
For the spark to start the flames,
A broken heart can find its healing,
When the silence speaks my name.
A new day’s on the horizon,
Maybe tomorrow I’ll see,
That the pain will turn to purpose,
And hope is all I need.

[Chorus]
Cause all feeling is gone,
Has it died or run away?
Am I a ghost or still a man?
Will love rise again one day?
Am I walking to you or nowhere?
Can I even ever know it?
If there’s beauty in the dirt,
Could a poet somehow show it?

[Hook]
Oh-oh-oh, I’m waiting for the light,
Oh-oh-oh, I’m reaching through the night,
Oh-oh-oh, hope’s got to find its way,
Oh-oh-oh, I’ll be alright one day.

Brandy Nicole June 2, 2019 at 7:51 PM She is with you, her hands upon yours. She has never let go. She is your guide. When you send an echo, and it drifts in the wind, it will always come back again. To You, to Your Heart. A scribble in the sand may fade away, but words stay upon the heart- for always. ~ Brandy
