Why Now

And I know it’s a little something
Like everything about it
When the sunshine hits your face
Its warmth is intoxicating
And you sense It’s trying to tell you
Something that you already know
But you’ve never bothered to dig for it
So it might as well be exciting and new
It’s a little part of everyone
Encoded in your DNA
And there’s little to do about it
But why would you want to anyway
We spend our time training hard
To beat the monster that’s coming near
And I guess it’s just my burden
To carry the cross across the field

It's Only Natural

Getting through to you
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe it
If that’s the way you see it through
I can’t go there
I won’t go there
And the sun bakes off the dew
From the fields of green and brown
It’s His specific plan
It’s only natural
It’s so important you have trust
You can believe it
You can believe it
These are not my words at all
I didn’t make them
But I believe them
And the love that we could feel
I don’t know why you wouldn’t want
And it’s His specific plan It’s only natural
And now there’s a song to sing
It’s so joyous
And it’s honest
If you let your heart just be
It’ll follow
It can’t help it
In the warm light of Yahweh
In the knowledge of his Son
He’s known by many names
There’s only One
Open up your heart
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
In Him it’s you gain life
You can see that
If you’re open

Walk with Me
04:31

The smell of fresh rain
On this muddy windy path
Brambles overgrow
Thorny barbs reach out and snag
Insects buzz and flitter about
Birds chitter in the dry tall grass
You and I walk along
On Sunday morning
The dog runs up ahead
He’s sniffing everything
Is that a rabbit in the bush
Yeah he bolts and chases him
We call his name he stops his game
He looks around and gallops back
You and I laugh aloud
On Sunday morning
And whoa we worried so so much
About the world and where we live
Now it seems so small
Why'd we make it so big
My sweater is warm
Your scarf is very fetching
Soup’s on in the kitchen
Warm when we get home
The sun peeks out from behind the clouds
We talk of things and nothing at all
Then we walk without a word
On Sunday morning

Pilots in a Dream

Pilots in a dream
That is what we are
There is proof of life
We are days
We are nights
Only subtleties
That is all there is
There is something there
It’s not easy
But it’s real
We are travelers
We don’t care about
Things of the world
They’re just there
And they’re gone
And we know it well
When there’s laid a trap
Right in front of us
It’s so obvious
That it’s real
For quite some time
Quite something
There’s a reign
Of fire on earth
Thief is dark
But appears so bright
Revealed in the end
True nature’s light
And He is love
And He is light
Ends the reign
Of violence on Earth
Don’t give up
There’s little in acts
To follow Him
Opens your heart
Frees your heart

Old Fashioned Fight Song

Somebody
Somebody once had you
Holding tight
A lazy breeze
Warm and haunting
Up from the South
Oh tell me
About the time
When we had the freedom
To do what was right
And what’s so wrong
What’s so wrong with
The love we had
Don’t need much more
An old idea but
Still so true
Oh tell me
What we should do
What we should sac ri fice
To get it back
As if you didn’t
Know
It’s so
Obvious
One true
Path
And do you have
Do you have
The will you need
I know it’s hard
You’re used to things that
The way they are
It’s not my words
The door is shown
And the path is hard
Oh tell me
Can't you feel
Can't you feel
The need
To get rewards
Extinguish desire
To get rewards
It’s common sense
But very few want
To see the truth
Oh tell me
What we should do
What we should sacrifice
To get it back
As if you didn’t
Know
It’s so
Obvious
One true
Path
As if you didn’t
Know
It’s so
Obvious
One true
Path
As if you didn’t
Know
It’s so
Obvious
One true
Path

Bruce Robert Boise, Idaho
Sometimes I feel like my head is radio receiver for random melodies floating around the universe. I have the experience, desire and know-how to take those melodies and create a complete piece of music from it. As long as I can remember, that’s how it’s generally worked for me. I rarely set out to write a song. They just sort of pop into my head, and I give form to the idea. ... more
