You desire to be my master
Wanting me to be your slave
Well you can take theses chains from around my neck
I will no longer play that game
You see I'm not the same man I was
No, not the man that I used to be
I now realize who holds the lock
Better yet
I know who has the key
Satan holds the lock
Jesus is the key
Satan wants to keep me chained in sin
While Jesus wants to set me free
When I am free I shall be free indeed
Standing on the upper side of defeat
All that junk in life that kept me bound
Will not have a thing on me
So you can have someone else call you master
This Christian will not be your slave
The chains came off at the foot of the Cross
Along with the guilt, the shame, and the blame
longest and deepest
symbolize to be broadest
sky's love to ocean
as they are lovers
embrace each other's blue hue
unison of hearts
one smiles upper side
other replies reflection
up to end level

I sat beside you on a couch
In canted ground-
I sat on its lower side-
On purpose-
Waiting for you to roll over me-
But you were hanging tight on the upper side,
And that pushed me to look up in the sky
And wish the earth was vertical-

You make your move
Up the stairs
a cool breeze
Makes you flare
You shiver
like a duck on a river
You stay still
Stoned for death
White as a ghost
Fleet like a pest
You race
Like a cow flowing on the upper side of space
You make your move
Down the stairs
A cool breeze
Leaves the air
