Build Your Own Haven

Build Your Own Haven
August 1st 10:41am 2022

Build your own haven
Strong and tall
Build your own haven
Let down the wall

Here is the key
In idler hands
out in the weeds
buried in sand

There is the girl
Give her a whirl
She's taking a dive
She's finding the pearl

For wings and for snakes
bears and for lions
Do not condemn her
For lord she is trying

Have your eyes seen me yet?
or am I still dark?
Brutus, my lover,
the angels, the arch

Forgiveness is easy
A dance that I do
love takes some work
but you're worth it, it's true

Build your own haven
Your own rock n roll
Build your own haven
Save your own soul

Saved by the bell
Freed from the cell
The cure to your blindness
is giving up hell

try as you might
you'll soon plainly see
a little bit you
a little bit me

Hop off my stack
of old Sunday papers
I'm creating my own
which with you cannot taper

Wait what's that?
The screaming town crier
Not my will but,
higher
and higher

So you let go
Surrender, swing low
here it comes now!
Sweet seeds we have sewn!

You knew you could trust
Faith was a must
so don't let your trickster
tell you it's a bust

you know who you are
return to sender
I'm so very glad
you finally remember

isn't it funny
the powerlessness
you hop on it's train
it leads you amiss

scared from your mind
plucked from your scene
use the delusion
to wake from your dream

The conductor is you!
Thought that you knew!
Well now that you know...
what will you do?

there is a chance
you'll forget the dance
If you're not careful
you'll fall in a trance

so stay with us now
in the heaven you built
and if you should change it
well that is your will

and then when it's over
you'll know where to go
what did they say?
Surrender
Swing low
