Calling To Me in the Dark (love song for WOTW movie)

CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK

(love song for the Man With Sky Colored Eyes)

WARRIORS OF THE WAY

The Movie

VERSE ONE:

YEARS I STUMBLED IN THE TWILIGHT OF A NIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS

SEEKING SADLY FOR SOME COMFORT, SEARCHING STRANGERS FOR A FRIEND

LONGING UNKNOWN FOR THE SUNRISE OF LOVE SHINING ON MY HEART

NOW I SEE YOU ON THE HORIZON, CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK.

VERSE TWO:

HOW I'VE YEARNED TO HEAR A LOVE SONG, HOW I'VE PRAYED TO SEE THE RAIN

FALLING GENTLY ON MY SOUL NOW, WASHING ME CLEAN OF THE PAIN

NEVER KNOWING THAT YOUR SWEET LOVE COULD REVIVE AND MAKE ME LIVE

NEVER KNOWING YOU WERE LONGING FOR THE LOVE THAT I COULD GIVE.

CHORUS:

I HEAR YOU CALLING, LOVE IS FALLING

LIKE THE MORNING DEW IN MAY

AND I'M OH, SO SCARED TO LOVE YOU

BUT DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

LOVE, DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY.

VERSE THREE:

ON THE ROAD NOW FOR FOREVER, WILL I REACH MY JOURNEY'S END?

FIGHTING BATTLES OF THE MIND, NOW, KEEPING MY SOUL SAFE FROM SIN

LIVING LONELY, HEART SO STONY, KEEPING MY GOALS FRESH AND TRUE

BUT JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS TILL MY EYES WERE LAID ON YOU.

VERSE FOUR:

NOW I SEE YOU RUNNING TOWARD ME, YOUR HANDS REACHING OUT TO ME

AND I FEEL THE TOUCH OF HEAVEN THAT MY EYES COULD NEVER SEE

AND THE FIRE IT BURNS INSIDE ME, WAS IGNITED BY THE SPARK

OF THE EMBER OF YOUR SWEET LOVE CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK.

CHORUS:

I HEAR YOU CALLING, LOVE IS FALLING

LIKE THE MORNING DEW IN MAY

AND I'M OH, SO SCARED TO LOVE YOU

BUT DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

LOVE, DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

EXTRA: SPOKEN WORD

THERE'S A LOVE FOR EVERY SOUL NOW

IN THIS LONELY, LOVELY PLACE

AND I SEE ME IN YOUR EYES NOW

AND I'M SHINING ON YOUR FACE

I CAN FEEL TOMORROW RISING

I SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY

AND I'M HOME AT LAST IN YOUR ARMS

AND I'LL NEVER RUN AWAY

NO, LOVE, I'LL NEVER RUN AWAY.

Waiting For Water

Waiting For Water

In between the raindrops

And the sun,

Every now and then,

We find the thing

Our souls cry out for,

Our bellies crave,

Our hearts need,

And our heads want.

It isn't often, mostly, rare

And hardly ever found

When we most need it,

Or crave it

Or want it

It's usually on a far-away hill

Hidden in shadow

Or smoke from the burning of dreams.

Life

Is a puzzle piece

Lying

In a box full of death

Waiting to be pieced together,

To be made sense of,

And solved

Like a mystery,

When the picture comes clear.

Love, we suppose,

Should be a right

And not a gift

Should be waiting for us

At the dawn of the day

And the fall of the night,

But very seldom is,

Very seldom,

Even shows it's face.

It runs from us

Because it's afraid

Of what we'll do to it

Once we catch it

And so it runs,

And keeps it's distance

Outside of our hearts

And our hard clenching hands.

We are bellies

Begging to be fed,

Minds,

Wanting to be filled,

Souls,

Crying to find peace

And our hearts are cages

Where no bird sings.

But every now and then,

In between the raindrops

And the sun,

Though we may not know it's name,

Or recognize it's face,

Or understand it's touch,

(For we are humans, after all

And do not know what we do not know

Till it has passed.)

We find the thing

That gives life meaning

When clarity comes

Like a cup full of hope

Drawn from the wells of our darkest despair

And all of us, from the least to the greatest,

Before dying is over and all dreams gone to dust,

We will come to that well

And stand peering deep down

Sometimes, a mirage, and sometimes, for real

Waiting for water

In the desert of love.

Lovely Rain, Deadly Rain song from WOTW story

LOVELY RAIN, DEADLY RAIN



 VERSE ONE

QUIET LIKE A WHISPER, THEY'RE BEGINNING TO DROP 
THEY FALL FROM THE DARK CLOUDS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM STOP
FALL TO THE DUSTY EARTH FROM THE BLUE OF THE SKY 
BRINGING FORTH NEW LIFE TO SPRING UP AND DIE.

 VERSE TWO

RAIN ON THE ROOFTOPS AND RAIN ON THE GROUND 
FAT SILVER DROPLETS, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUND 
GATHERING MOMENTUM AS THE THUNDER ROLLS ON
WASHING AWAY FOOTPRINTS TILL THE TRACES ARE GONE.

 CHORUS:

 RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH
 THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH
 BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP 
 A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.

 VERSE THREE

IN THE MIDNIGHT, IT'S MAGIC AND IN THE MORNING, IT'S SWEET 
SPLASHING IN MUDDY POOLS FOR THE BABY'S BARE FEET 
LIFE GIVING WATER FOR THE FARMER'S DRY FIELDS
SUCH A GIFT FROM THE HEAVENS THAT YOU KNOW GOD IS REAL.

 VERSE FOUR 

MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD, MEMORIES OF LOVE 
COLD ICY SURPRISES AS THEY FALL FROM ABOVE 
HIDING UNDER TALL TREES AND OLD BARNS AND SUCH 
OH THE STORMS OF MY CHILDHOOD, HOW I LOVED THEM SO MUCH!

 CHORUS:

RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH 
THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH 
BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP
A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.


 VERSE FIVE

 NOW THE OLD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE GREAT FLOODS OF THE EARTH
 I'VE HEARD ALL OF THE TRAGEDIES SINCE THE TIME OF MY BIRTH
 BRINGING SUCH MISERY AND BRINGING SUCH PAIN 
 LIFE AND DEATH COMING DOWN IN THE FORM OF THE RAIN.

 VERSE SIX 

BUT TONIGHT IN YOUR SWEET ARMS WHILE THE LIGHTNING IS BRIGHT
AND THE THUNDER, IT FINDS US AS WE HIDE IN THE NIGHT 
I FORGET ALL THE WARNINGS ABOUT DANGER AND FLOOD 
AND WE LAUGH IN THE RAINFALL AND IT'S TOUCH FEELS SO GOOD.

 CHORUS:

 RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH
 THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH
 BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP
 A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.


 EXTRA VERSE TO END

 BUT TONIGHT IN YOUR SWEET ARMS AS I HOLD YOU SO TIGHT
 I REVEL IN THE STORM CLOUDS AND I DREAM IN THE NIGHT
 LOVELY RAIN IS NOT THREATENING BUT I'M STILL CARRIED AWAY
 LOVELY RAIN IS NOT THREATENING BUT I'M STILL CARRIED AWAY

 LOVELY RAIN, AND YOUR SWEET LOVE ... IT STILL SWEEPS ME AWAY.

All I Want

All I Want

Young and ancient in my heart

I yearn to feel alive

I long to feel the touch of love

And know the reasons why

Why life is sad and days are long

Just something to get through

I need to know why I was born

And I want to know the truth

Friends? I never had a friend

At least someone I could trust

I thought I had one who loved me

But all it was was lust

My innocence was lured away

My trusting soul rejected

My emotions killed with cruel disdain

And my heart cries were neglected

All day I search the sky for God

All night I cringe in fear

My sleep is stolen by nightmares

And I feel no angel near

I walk the streets alone and cold

Even in the sunlight's glow

And laugh my bitter hardened laugh

That hides a broken soul

Too young! they tell me, you're too young

To feel like you should die

You have no reason to feel this way

To have sorrow in your eyes

But they don't know, they cannot know

How my heart longs to fly free

They see my youth, my unwrinkled brow

But I know they don't see me

I reach a halting outstretched hand

Sometimes to others when

They slap my hand and I say then

I'll never reach again

This nothingness is heavy

This emptiness is full

How can I believe that kindness lives

When all I see is cruel?

My life is like a bottomless pit

I tumble down and down

In dream and shadow, falling, hopeless

And laughing like a clown

And all I want is for someone

To fill up this widening crack

For God to reach down from the sky

And pat me on the back.
