Lyrics for "between" CD

borrowed time
Copyright 2002 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

We are living
In the midst of borrowed time
Chasing the future close at hand
Here we are
Living with all these how, when and why
We are seeking
But we never seem to find

The shadows who are lingering
On a whisper's edge
In the middle of a dream
Bridging the chasm to the infinite between
Rising up from the deepest deep

Where are the answers
To the questions left behind
Situations twist and turn our peace of mind
Human doers are we
Spirits who cannot seem to be
Certain of
More than our uncertainty

The shadows who are guiding me
From the corner of an eye
Whispered in a dream
Bridging the chasm to the infinite between
Rising up from the deepest deep

Chasing time
That we just can't seem to find
We deny
The need to hear the silence
There is life
We only hear the emptiness inside

Still we stumble
As the blind mislead the blind
No rhyme or reason seems to aptly justify
We fail to taste and see
The wonder in between
Our innocence
And our willingness to need


battlefields
Copyright 1999 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

The battlefield is deserted
All the soldiers have gone home
Some were alive
And others traveled on, ever on
The battlefield is deserted
Still the war is raging on
50,000 names on a wall
Heroes and martyrs
One for one, all for all

Chorus:
Where are the answers
To the questions left behind
Telling who is in control here
Is it all a game we play

A young boy is bewildered
By the thought of becoming a man
Wondering where and why
His childhood days fade away
Young boy seeks to understand
Where the child ends
And where begins the man
Embracing future's promises
Still savoring the past
Never neverland never lasts

Young boy dreams himself a dream
Filtering wishes through
The blue and silver screens
No measure of reality
Teaching him how to spread his wings
A grounded pawn of poverty

Young man faces murder one
Perpetuating anger with a stolen gun
Death row revives his sense of reason
So he prays for one last chance
Chance slipes away
In a chamber filled with gas


victory
Copyright 1999 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

We are strangers
Wandering in this foreign land
Searching to find our straight and narrow paths
And at times we can't define
Whether to move to the left or right
Moving on while others lag behind

Chorus:
One day, the victory can be won
One day, the victory will be yours and mine
But will we ever find it
One day, the victory can be won
But if we dont' open our eyes
One day may never come

On a pilgrimage
Never the time to consider a change
We hurry up to stand in line to wait
Hearing with eyes and not our ears
Speaking with lies and senseless fears
Lose the chance to love when we hesitate

How long will you stand here staring
Waiting for somebody else to care
And reach out with loving hands


like a river to the sea
Copyright 1991 by Steve Wariner, Published by Steve Warnier Music

You look like you did back then
You kiss me like you did back when
You and I first fell in love
Time has been good to you
I said I always knew it would
You're more lovely every day

Chorus:
Just like a mighty river runs to the sea
My love for you keeps growing
It was meant to be
It will never go away
It's deeper and stronger every day
Like a river to the sea
You know you can count on me

These hands on the clock should know
That time just can't pass this slow
When I'm away
But I've got my job to do
Then I'll hurry home to you
I'm waiting for the day


set me free
Copyright 1999 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

There was a time when I
Took for granted the blessings in this life
My eyes were blind
Waking up everyday
There never seemed to be a right way
Told myself lies
And foolish alibis

Speak to me sweet darlin'
When I call your name
Please here me cry
And rescue me
Only you can save me
It's no mystery
No reasons why
For me you sacrificed your life

Chorus:
Set me free
Your love is savin' me
Wrapped in your loving arms
I'll live for all eternity
There's no denyin'
Set me free
Your love is savin' me

Too many days in this life
The longings of my heart went unrecognized
My soul ran dry
Filled with anger and too much pride
No room left for grace inside
My soul ran dry


spirit of the living God
Copyright 1926 by Daniel Iverson, Published by Birdwing Music

Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
Melt me
Mold me
Fill me
Use me
Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me


dancin' in the rain
Copyright 1999 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

There's a hunger
Burning behind your eyes
The fire and mystery
You've never seen them before
You never looked into your mirrors
You never opened up your doors
Taking a walk inside and around

Chorus:
Before lightning there's no sound
Somehow the silence spins you 'round
Bringing us back again
We were never that far astray
And as the thunder rolls away
You listen for a sign to say
To say it's okay baby yes
To go dancin'
To go dancin'
Out in the rain

There's a cloud up
Covering both your eyes
It hides the life in you
While your life drifts by
You never stumbled through your anger
You never waded through your pride


seeking lessons
Copyright 2002 by Myron B. McGhee, Published by Ajalon Music

Seeking lessons
From my journeys long since past
The passage of a soul
Wandering through these tangled webs we weave
As we dance our dances
Round the choices we seldom understand

Seeking answers
As I turn another page
Seeking passage through this maze
Balancing in between what will was
And whatever what will be
Certain only of uncertainty

Sleeping somewhere deep inside our restless souls
Like a warm and easy breeze
Are the answers I can cling to
When I cannot comprehend
All I am and all that I must be

Seeking wisdom
On the path that we will tread
With a guide for what will be
Side by side and hand in hand
Is the only chance we stand
To live the joy and wonder of this mystery

Sleeping somewhere deep inside our restless souls
Like a warm and easy morning breeze
Whispering answers I can cling to
If I have the peace to hear
All I am and all that I must be
