All I Can Do

i've climbed many mountains
ran my share of hills
walked thousands of miles
driven many more still
but in all of my travels
i've seen nothing but pain
no rest for my body
no peace for my brain
(chorus)
All I can do
Is eat and drink, be merry with you
All I can see
Is chasing the wind with a closed hand
who can tell me how to live?
who could show me the road?
who will take me by the hand?
if my father goes?
the road itself is my teacher
as it grinds me to the ground
chews me up and spits me out
leaves me broken and unwound
(chorus)
i try to find beauty
in everything I do
but it's hard when darkness
is surrounding you
open up the curtains
of your heart, dark and cold
let the light flood into you
let it break the stronghold
who am i, that You love me?
that You'd want to take my hand?
what do You know of me?
that I cannot comprehend
i have been so empty
for such a very long time
longing just to be filled
with Your beautiful sunshine
(chorus)

The World is on Fire

The world's on fire but mine is fine
I'm sitting in my tower, sipping my wine
The world's ablaze, does that concern me?
I'll close my eyes, and think positively
Oh positively!
I'm feeling just fine looking out for me
There's not a lot to do at the top of the tree
I did my time, I cut my teeth
You just work hard and you'll end up rich like me
Oh be like me!
Life's so simple when all you see is your backyard.
Your four corners and your fence boards
You can run to the front or stay at the back of the pack
And go with your brothers along the track
I believe this positively
Take a step, walk out the door
Let the tower fall, tear down the wall
Walk a mile in another's shoes
Carrying on the same things that they do
It don't take much to be a friend
Showing kindness without pretense
We are all part of the human race
Flesh and blood, all in need of grace
I'm just trying to do good like the good book said I should
Loving and helping my neighbors as best as I could
Do unto others as you would have them do to you
I promise you won't regret the smallest thing you do
I believe this
Positively
*dance break*
* more positivity *
