[honestly]

i've seen the face behind your eyes

i think i saw it first in the evening

under the Talmud sky

i threw a snowball in the river

your dog followed me home

even though i told him to run away

a music box at midnight

woke me up beside my bed

i held your name, you held your head

and i can still remember the night when

you said it was no longer easy

to wake up or fall asleep

no matter what the time was

is this love in your head?

or a feeling in your chest?

can you know that you know?

or will you just to your best,

to live honestly

i got a message from the LORD

he said "watch your feet! change is coming,

like the wind under the door"

so with my bags packed and ready

i waited watching by the window

for something that was out of place

you came around again

is this love in our bed?

or just in the books we've read

should we say we saw things clearly?

or was this all just a failed attempt,

to live honestly

well the last time i saw you, you were free

and i hope you still live, live abundantly

my dad went soft when he heard the news

and my sisters in the kitchen singing the blues

but my mom found hope in the words he said,

"today, today, listen here my friend,

today, today, you will be with me

today, today, you will be with me"

is there love in his hands?

like the love thats in his feet

there was love in his mouth

when he made for us a way,

to live honestly
