ARYEH's Notes
thank you for supporting my album "Burning Questions and Empty Rooms" this is the finale
[Verse]
New style come around, I reframe my pain
I don’t wait on better days, I let God rearrange ‘em
Slow climb to the heavens, sit and watch the stars
Recline, countin' my regrets, thinkin' how many bars?
Flow a dozen-yard dash, run it back to a hundred
I say, "Rest in peace," and I'm restin' in peace
And a wise man said, “Still soul, quiet feet”
Leather seats, calm ride, now I follow God's lead
I don't watch what I'm sayin', see my watch say the time
Mind boggled, now my mind is at ease
The calm before the storm, now I sit in the breeze
Feel a hand on my shoulder, and my Father say, “Breathe”
A hand on my shoulder, and my mom is sayin', "Wake up"
Now I'm runnin' to the basin, now I'm basin' on the wake up
They think I'm greater
I'll still love you when I'm greater
Say it again, the dark hours ain't the same as before
[Verse 2]
You can find me in the east, 'cause it's quiet in the north
You can find me in His light, even when the winds roar
Before, when I was a teen, it was a dream to dream
Now the sound of my dreams are my own symphony
Now I walk in His purpose, and my soul sings free
My mind too open, been provokin' the wise
She saw fire in my eyes it’s a gift, not a curse
If it wasn’t for this worship, then I'd be the worst
As I stare at my reflection, this mirror is curved
But yet I still see my worth
First star that I've seen tonight
Some parts of creation feel like a piece of the mind
At least, I believe in the stars that are visible
But deeper than science, His truth is indivisible
The image of a child when I stepped through the door
Wrapped in grace, like the cloth that the Savior once wore
A journey to the temple on the heavenly shore
Where a servant of the Lord sat in peace by the door
(Verse 3)
His eyes full of wisdom, his gaze soft and pure
He said, “I’ll be right there,” as he looked to the floor
Then said, “It’s a blessing to meet you. What’s your name? Where you from?
What’s your story? How you walk? Do you walk with the Son?”
And I said, “I’m the servant, 'for I worship Christ above all”
He smiled and replied, “It’s so good to know your a brother in Christ”
Then I stepped in the temple
There were saints on the walls, they were praising
There were voices on the walls, they were raising
Hands lifted up, hearts all blazing
Lined up in worship, with a holy formation
One by one
And I looked into the light, and the light came from above
And I looked into the light, and the light said, “My son”
Yes, the light said, “My son”
Stargaze through the prism, different colors float
Slow it down, purple with the golden smoke
Another note, in a different land, roam the coast
Solar cold, float, what's the life of a poet's soul?
(Verse 4)
Rose-gold feather, can't measure how far it flies
Watch it glide through the stars and the autumn skies
Not a god, I was never built for the cross
Still I float with the lost, let 'em live through my thoughts
And as the hours tick, smoke 'til I lose the gravity
And travel through the tapestry of everything that's happening
Far beyond the galaxies and planets and the particles
Far beyond the senses that tell us what is and isn't tangible
But God still speaks through the wind
Through the leaves, the seas, and the trees as they bend
We believe and perceive, there's no means to an end
But it seems that I'm dreaming again
So what are dreams to a dreamer?
