Fallen From Grace
Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion
That we once again see God face-to-face
Cyclic pain and joy cause agitation
Pursuit of happiness, unending chase
Memory erased, life puzzles we lace
Following our ego spawned suggestion
To get ahead, we thereby brace to race
Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion
One day we get to point of exhaustion
Surrendering thought, relying on grace
Stillness

Fallen From Grace
fighting for rights
that are god given
it's a jungle out there
all that bitterness and hate
what is wrong with a world
where so much evil lurks
greed at its heart
it's dog eat dog
and I'm a vegetarian
we could be in the garden of eden
if we all just got along but no ~
it's a jungle out there

Have You Fallen From Grace
Have You
Fallen From Grace
By: Tom Wright
5/26/99
Within your love
let me once more abide.
Your face from me, Dear Lord,
please don't hide.
For since the time I erred
and fell from Grace.
I have not Lord, until now,
sought your face.
Those things in life
that wrongfully I have done.
I'll lay at your feet Lord,
one by one.
Then when at last
you've let me have my

Fallen From Grace To Rise With New Love
How you I would like to tell
that I you find exquisite
and would move the stars
to make our fates agree.
How I live alone, predestined
to fall from women's grace
and to rise again with new loves,
though I hope to find a love
eternal with me forever,
to tell her I love her,
and to bring heaven's wings
to guide and protect her.
How

Fallen From Grace
Fallen from grace,
no longer do I sit high upon the pedestal that you had once put me
No longer am I seen as idol or mentor
Nor wanted as provider or protector
But now looked upon as an outcast and banished from your heart.
Betrayed by the one who now blinds you
With a veil

Fallen From Grace
Wondering around the
cemetery a child's doll held
close to my breast my aching
heart shatters more and more
as I ask myself, couldn't this
all just be some sickening
nightmare, that I am about
ready to wake from?
I yearn to feel my child's warm
hand closed tightly round my
own, then perhaps I'll feel

Fallen From Grace
We live in a world we didn't create
We were born into it
Into this violence and hate
We grew up with poverty
And breathed the pollution
And even if we could
It still shouldn't be us
To find a solution
They say we're the future
They're all a disgrace
Mankind was once divine
But we've fallen from grace

Fallen From Grace
Life can feel oh so empty
when you feel alone.
How did I come to wander
so far away from my home?
Thoughts I possess
have stolen my faith.
Please help me Almighty
for I've fallen from grace.

Fallen From Grace
Thirty days of grace
Before you see
A more burdened look among my face
Yes I have fallen from grace
Can you see
The burgundy upon my face?
Seems I have fallen from grace
I’m here
Perhaps I’ll take a cowards way out
Perhaps I’ll die
Awaken later afterlife
And wonder what it was about
Kiss this mask of mystery
Postponed
