All my life I've been looking for something

Don't you step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away

with every secret that you make public
your influence on my life grows, ain't this true?
Don't step on this ground

I'm but a lad, oh for I'm twenty, tuned in to dreaming
Gazing at your sign, for mad men only, my poet's screaming
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
Take me to the wild black seas of madness, the savage dancer
Clothe me in insanity and leave me, to find the answer
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you

I searched for you, but I can't find you
I searched for you, but I can't find you
I picked you up, I held you out
I love you, I love you
I placed you down, I held my breath
I wonder, yeah, I wonder
What'd I do? You're not around
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
Get through, you'll get through this
The moon strikes one, you rest your head
This refuge, oh this refuge
The sun comes up and life begins
There's danger, oh, there's danger
What'd I do if you weren't around?
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
The human condition
Needs a hiding place
This human condition
Needs a hiding place, a hiding place
It's a fall, I've got to tell you
That this wall was not meant for you
I see sides all, sides all around
You'll get through, you'll get through
Ani auni vevyone. Hashem yashav li. Ezrati, umafalti, atau.
As for me, I am poor and destitute. Hashem my G-d will think about me. My help, my rescuer, you are.
My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock,
crack through your heart and take the evil apart
From the end of the earth unto you I call, time and again I fall, back to you I crawl
You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy
Enemy, enemy lines I find I let myself get tied up too many times
You can't have my heart I'm taking back what's mine
I know it lie just smoke in your eye and you saved my soul from the other side
When faint grows my heart to a rock that too hard for me to climb alone lead me
For you have been a refuge
With you I smash a troop and with my G-d I leap over a wall
May the king answer you on the day that you call
Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled,
heavens lay draped over New York like a prayer shawl,
the holy one enthroned upon the praises of Israel
Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam
locked out and pushed aside. anger and hatred it's in their eyes.

Walking through the fire at night,
She cries for him,
Gives her love to anyone,
Who dreams like him.
In the Paris night your child screams for horizons,
Dies on the floor.
And with her serpent eyes she gives her love away.
She gives her love away.
Surround her with colours red and white, blue light.
Surround her with angels red in pale moonlight.
Coming through the waves and thunder,
Burns her eyes.
Walking over blood on the ground,
Her arms are tied.
In the moonlight Paris night, she hopes it's over,
Dies on the floor.
And with her serpent eyes she gives her love away.
She gives her love away.
His screams pull her to the window,
Hides her smile.
Falling to her knees she prays for them to come.
In the fire filled Paris night she bids the world goodbye,

Step
Step away
From the aching
Because one of us is fighting such a hard battle
So step away from the loneliness and the deceptions
And if we are strangers here
Then I wonder
Are we mislead
After looking night and day
Falling into shifting sand
To lift our eyes from the black and blue grave
We need a new perspective
We have to find our place
Where we seem to have no home
In this shifting sand
Each one of us is fighting such a hard battle
So I hold on to my life with an open hand
So we stay awake
We lie awake
That one day all these things will come to light
As they really are
Then we will ask
What do we have
That will not pass away?
We have to find our place
Where we seem to have no home
In this shifting sand
So let us be bold and deliberate
What remains is our breath escaping now
So we should protect these moments
These moments of authenticity
Like a remedy (if there is one for us)
To be bold and deliberate
Take a good look inside of me...
Season of night took hold of me...
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide away
The damage is done, the chaos' dissolving me
What am I to do
Where am I to go
How can I be strong and find the strength to carry on
Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
tomorrow
Don't want to be a refugee of love
Found a new way to the future...
Created a past to remember...
No ties attached, no one to hold you down
Am I the stone that made you dislike the crown
How am I to say, what I have to lose
When your mind's made up and it's your
happiness you chose
Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
tomorrow
Don't want to be a refugee of love
[Solo: Henrik]
Take a good look inside of me...
Hatred and pain controlling me...
Holding the cards fearless in front of me
The sun on your face, the coldness it's freezing me
What am I to do
Where am I to go
How can I be strong and find the strength to carry on
Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
tomorrow
He's gonna knock
Three times
At my back door
He's gonna knock
Three times
At my back door
And I know
That it's him
Won't you please come in
Oh welcome in
The Refugee
Good evening
How do you do
Good evening
Stranger
How do you do
And I know
You need a rest
Won't you be my guest
Oh welcome be
The Refugee
Oh Mama
Whatcha gonna
Cook for supper
Oh Mama
Whatcha gonna
Cook for supper
Make it good
Make it square
He can have my share
Welcome be
The Refugee
Oh brother
You ain't gonna
Ask in vain
Oh brother
You ain't gonna
Ask in vain
Cause I know
You're alone
Won't you feel at home
Oh welcome be
Here it is, my life. My pain now lays before your feet. Listen to these words and do with them what you will, though I ask you to curse judgments fist and open your mind to my greatest fears. For this world has beaten me down, and I've she'd more than my share of tears. So with that in mind I greet you into a reality of nothingness and bitter dark, and welcome you to my home of escape, my refuge, Argyle Park.
I am a refugee, I am a refugee
I can see you but you don't see me
I am a refugee, sometimes I'm just like a mirror
A reflection of what you ignore
The look on my face is just the disgrace
Of the child you locked outside your door
I am flesh and bone born of mother
From a home that ceases to be
I have walked these roads to long my friend
To return to my family, I was born in a different time
In a world not run by machines
I am part of a time that is no more
'Cept in my heart and in my dreams
Some men they call me unlucky
Some men they just call me weak
They look on with shame as if I am to blame
For something they dare not to speak
Most every place that I go
I am greeted with suspicious eyes
As if a man on his knees has some disease
That mankind must despise
I am flesh and bone born of mother
From a home that ceases to be
I have walked these roads to long my friend
To return to my family
I was born in a different time
In a world not run by machines
I am part of a time that is no more
'Cept in my heart and in my dreams
I am a refugee, I am a refugee
Like a ghosts I've returned
I was caught up and burned
In the machine that created me
I am flesh and bone born of mother
From a home that ceases to be
I have walked these roads to long my friend
To return to my family
I was born in a different time
In a world not run by machines
I am part of a time that is no more
'Cept in my heart and in my dreams
I was born in a different time
In a world not run by machines
I am part of a time that is no more
Lord, I feel the weight of a mountain
Pressing down inside my soul
I can see the pillars fallin’
There ain’t nothin’ left to hold
The reigns are broken too
I can’t steer this
There’s nothing I can do
Except to throw my arms out
Take me to
A place where love can mend these wounds
Where mystery can dance with truth
And the broken soul finds refuge
I get so tired of fighting
Throwing punches in the dark
When mystery’s seduction
Keeps a blindfold on my heart
Oh, it seems too much
God I fear this
I’m longing for your touch
And for your kisses
Take me to
A place where love can mend these wounds
Where mystery can dance with truth
And the broken soul finds refuge
Can you calm this angry tide
The fears and rage inside
Won’t you lead to the place where beauty dwells
You go dancing on the hills
And I won’t rest until
You take me to the place where beauty dwells
Take me to
A place where love can mend these wounds
Where mystery can dance with truth
when life becomes a little too real
and the weight of this world falls heavy on my head
when i feel the pain
and agonize over failing you again
then i come before your throne
Your grace and mercy fill my soul
winds of deception whirl in my heart
thoughts without discernment flood my head
take me far from this emptiness
forgiveness- i need forgiveness
wash me in your blood
Lord I come to you this hour
touch me with Your healing power
tame this heart that goes astray
lead me down the narrow way
restore in me the man I am
in You and in Your mighty plan
touch me * heal me * restore me * fill me
I hear the sound of a million voices
Like they say, I can’t even hear myself anymore
Yet this thundering echo still beats steady like the rhythm of the leaves
Wisping down from their mother’s arms
And hit on this cold earthship of home
Where is our home
Home?
Where is our home
Is this it or is it simply lost hope?
I am trying not to see this ring of fire that is surrounding us
It has burned my eyes
Just when I thought that I could see again
Hold on
Is this refuge
That we have formed falling?
Or is this our form falling?
Despite pride, despite dispute
Despite discrepancies, despite choice
Despite living this life in fear
And despite this life as it has shown everyone
And now as each new day has passed
It has brought us to share the same path
We watch together as the leaves change
And as things change, we change
Is this refuge
That we have formed falling?
Or is this our form falling?
And as things change
Like all things change
Just like all things change
And as things change
Like all things change
We change
It’s too late and I am tired
Of this life feeding me lies
Just because you claim your redeemer
Doesn’t make me a believer
Can’t believe what you see
It’s just another enemy
That was simply my two cents
Craig Smith
Lord, You are my hiding place
The strength on which I stand
Your truth alone do I embrace
Not the wisdom of this land
You are the only resting place
From the perils of this sphere
Prince of Peace, the God of Grace
Keep me from the enemy's spear
Chorus
You are my fortress
Haven from the storm
Shield me with your faithfulness
Refuge of my soul
Though I'm in the midst of war
The enemy all around
If I gaze with the eyes of man
It seems I'm losing ground
But in the shadow of Your wings
A refuge I have found
A place where I find strengthening
And Your serenity abounds
Chorus
Concealed within Your shelter
In the troubled day
In Your secret place You hide me
You're my refuge
Chorus
The very nature of the world in its present condition, causes
tribulation (Matt 16:33), but even in the midst of enemy confrontation,
attack, and confusion, we are assured the Lord is in control and is our
place of refuge. Psalm 91:1,4 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most
High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with His
pinions and under His wings you will seek refuge, His faithfulness is a
shield and bulwark."--Craig Smith
" Thou art my hiding place; Thou doest preserve me from trouble." Psalm
32:7
"He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of
justice and H preserves the way of His godly ones." Proverbs 2:7,8
"...the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength
in times of trouble. And the Lord helps them and delivers them; He
delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge
in Him." Psalm 27:39-40
Several years ago, one of the worst tornadoes in our nation's history
swept a quarter-mile wide path of destruction, devastation, and death
through a town in the Southwest United States. The responses of the
people in that sudden onslaught of nature's killing force are
interesting to observe. Many were caught completely unaware. Some
were warned, but ignored it. Some, seeing the approach of the
threatening cloud, panicked and scrambled about unprotected. Many
were unprepared, having no knowledge of what to do or where to hide in
the midst of catastrophe.
But there were others who were prepared, though not knowing the time or
place of the storm. They were aware that where they dwelled there was
the potential of destructive tornadoes. They did not underestimate the
ability of the unleashed power of this world to kill, sweep their
possessions away, and destroy everything in its path (John 10:10). These
people recognized the threat, obtained knowledge of what to do and
where to seek protection, and remained ever alert to respond promptly
and with wisdom in the face of danger.
One group of people was at a bank when the tornado came on the horizon
with radios and sirens sounding the warnings. Choosing not to flee in
their automobiles, they entered the bank's vault and stepped out
unharmed. The bank building was demolished. Automobiles were
overturned. Everything unprotected was crushed, and those without
sufficient cover were killed.
Now, how should we view the potentiality of catastrophic happenings in
this life that we live? Should we not have an expectation that it could
happen? Should we not know that the Enemy of Gad, Satan, stalks about
seeking to kill us, steal away what God has given us, and destroy our
lives? Then we must also know that the Word of God is wisdom and
knowledge to those who will hear and receive His preparatory truth. He
has given His Holy Spirit to dwell in us to sound the alarm and give us
strength. We can know beforehand of dangers and pitfalls. We can know
how to respond in the face of threatening situations. We can know what
shields us and protects us. And, above all, we can know assuredly that
God the Father, Himself, is a stalwart Hiding Place; always close to us;
desirous to preserve us; strong enough to save us; and faithful as a
Refuge for us.
All of this is not to bring us to a tense existence always waiting for
the brink of calamity. Rather, the Word of God makes us able to rest in
the assurance of the Father's complete provision for us: "...he who
listens to Me (Wisdom) shall live securely and be at ease from the dread
of evil." (Proverbs 1:33) Will you choose to enter His security and rest?
You must walk and live in the reality of your salvation through the
blood of Jesus Christ, your spiritual sustenance through the indwelling
power of His Spirit, and your ever-present Refuge in the arms of the
loving and eternal Father, God.
A brief word to those who may have already suffered tragedy and
destruction when perhaps you were unknowing and unprepared. This same
God who is your Refuge is also a God of healing and restoration. Turn to
Him. Confess any sin of ignorance or rebellion to Him. Remove the
rubble of previous hurts by forgiving all who were involved (including
yourself). Allow God to rebuild your life. Like Paul, "...forgetting what
lies behind and reach forward to what lies ahead...press on toward the
goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 3:13,14) If this is your situation, you may pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father, remove the scales from my spiritual eyes that I might
see the safety and security of Your Refuge for me. In Jesus' Name, I
cast down all fear of the future, and I stand on the promises of Your
Word. Holy Spirit, teach me and give me understanding of my inheritance
in Christ Jesus. Teach me of my Refuge. I will rest in Your Word. Amen.--
You felt my hurt
spoke to my soul
took all my pain
gave me lost hope
confused and alone
no more to give
when all was lost
you helped me live
take me away
save me again
chorus:
you tried so hard
you tried to take away
all of my pain
but it's not enough
i'm in despair
i won't let go
a refuge i seek
you're all i know
take me away
save me again
chorus
ahh's
take me away
save me again
take me away
save me again
chorus
you tried so hard
Think you see through my wall?
Think you see through my wall?
You don't see me at all...
Closing down my life and hide
Closing down my life and hide
Until I end the war inside...
I can't love you
In fear of drowning
As my heart keeps pounding
Striking ones step
To hold on to what's left
Hold on, to the strings of reality
Bouncing on my heel of prosperity
Leave from my cell with a gleam in my eye
Watching it all wash by, watching it die
Its so hard to see it all fall through
But it's too late nothing left to do
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
Release me from a world unkind
A world where the blind is leading the blind
It's so unfair that i can't feel free
That i have to be what you want me to be
Shadows of the past keep stabbing my back
Reminding me of when i slipped out of track
Their wasting their time another morning dawning
And time when the restless keeps on joining
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
(Whaaaaaaaaaa!)
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
