But By Me

No way out, no other way to go

                                  To the Father, but by Me, the Son Of Man, 

                                  The Father wants you to know

Your Teacher and Brother

                                                                 My Father wants you to know

             That I love you, i'm one that carries you across times sands

      With me there's no way around, where the blood red ferns grow in                             the                                          wasteland

      There's nothing to give but what is worthwhile and of feelings sound
                      No hope to give? Try but a little closer-bound, and
                                  Neither bleed nor burn

                                Will your heart truly know

               No hope! I'll never be unable to give the table a turn

                Time after time I will be there, (I) want you to know


                          (I) will even play it on the mall radio 

                        (for all to hear)when you are in despair

                                                                       a private smile to show 

So sing and hum, a psalm of thanksgiving and give Life a turn
                                         No other way out, to no other should you turn
With me there's no way around, where the blood red ferns grow
                   Where I was pierced and crowned and made myself, the mold

There's nothing to give but what is worthwhile and of feelings sound

No hope to give? Try but a little closer-bound

No direction, no way home? To the heart, but your piece of soul shine

My name is the keepsake of Kings and Prophets, thrones and the like

                                                                               You don't know me?

You can only ignore me for so long 

These stardust patterns of strata and
Auroras mirror on your face, 
lines of worry will be erased, Done

It won't be long
