In Our Bedroom After the War--Stars

Wake up
Say good morning to
That sleeping person
Lying next to you
If there’s no one there
Then there’s no one there
But at least the war is over

It’s us
Yes, we’re back again
Here to see you through
Til the day’s end
And if the night comes
And the night will come
Well at least the war is over

Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

Listen, the birds sing
Listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead
And the dead are all living
The war is over
And we are beginning

Gridlock
On the parkway now
The television man
Is here to show you how
The channel fades to snow
It’s off to work you go
But at least the war is over

She’s gone
She left before you woke
As you ate last night
Neither of you spoke
Dishes, tv, bed
The darkness filled with dread

But at least the war is over

Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

Listen, the birds sing
Listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead
And the dead are all living
The war is over
And we are beginning

We won
Or we think we did
And you went away
You were just a kid
And if you lost it all
And you lost it
Well, we’ll still be there
When your war is over

Lift your head
And look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day
And watch the time go

Listen, the birds sing
Listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead
And the dead are all living
The war is over
And we are beginning

Here it comes,
Here comes first day
Here it comes,
Here comes first day
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
After the war (repeat to end)

A King and a Kingdom ~ Derek Webb

Derek Webb A King & A Kingdom Lyrics

who's your brother, who's your sister
you just walked passed him
i think you missed her
as we're all migrating to the place where our father lives
'cause we married in to a family of immigrants

my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
my first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
it's to a king & a kingdom

there are two great lies that i’ve heard:
“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die”
and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him


but nothing unifies like a common enemy
and we’ve got one, sure as hell
but he may be living in your house
he may be raising up your kids
he may be sleeping with your wife
oh no, he may not look like you think

Hafiz, A Mime- Sol Seppy

A mime stands upon the gallows for a crime he did not do
When given the last chance to speak he remains true
A crowd of hundreds has gathered to see his last performance knowing he will not talk
The mime takes from the sky the circles of bright spheres
Lays them on the table
Expressing deep love for the companionship and guidance they have given him
For so many years
He removes his heart from his body
And seems to arouse all life on this splendid earth
With such a sacred tenderness
There for an extraordinary moment it looked like someone was giving birth to the Christ again
He mounts his soul upon the body of freedom
And grave breeze comes by
And the sun and the moon join hands
And they bow so gracefully
For a moment
For a moment
Everyone knows that God is real
That God is real
