terrible mistake again

- Holy Road: Lizzie West

download at Lizzie West - Holy Road: Freedom Songs - Holy Road
I found I could go no more,
my basket empty, and before me
a thousand colored doors
So I sat down to plead
with a force beyond my reach,

Hey Lord can you hear me,
I've been calling your name
Tell me Lord do you feel me
my nature remains,
'Cause I am human anyway,
you help me please
If I may say

I know a stable built
by the hands of man
and I know a small-town boy
wants to star in a rock'n' roll
band, and I know a ten cent tip
on a 22-dollar check, and for
these few things I know,
these are the things that
I have been told

and I still don't know the walk
of a holy road, I still don't know
the walk of a holy road

Hey Lord can you hear me,
I'm begging your name, Tell me Lord
please speak clearly now, do I live
in vain, For I am human anyway,
you help me please, if I may say.
Oh mother may I, and father may I,
tell me teacher may I, you proud
preacher may I

I want to know the walk of a holy road
I want to know the walk of a holy road

I know the time for a seed to take
I know how high the water rises
just before it breaks
and I know the touch of a man,
from a lover who can't give enough

and for these few things I know
these are the things that I was
never told, Are these the walk of a
holy road, are these the lines of trees
are these the hedges seen, are these
the signs of a very holy road

Hey Lord you can hear me now,
I spoke your name, and Lord it comes
clearly to me now, I live not in vain,
although I am human I can pray,
and as I pray I celebrate,

'Cause I know the soothe of a song,
when the trap has got me lame
and I know the chorus of crickets,
singing out their nightly praise,
I know the sound of a swelling storm
just before it rains.

These are the stones of a holy road
I pick them up and I gather them as I go
These are the stones of a holy road
I pick them up and I gather them as I go
These are the stones of a holy road.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that flow
I am the sunlight on my own grave

I am a gentle autumn rain
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight

do not stand at my grave and cry
do not stand at my grave and cry
do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die

(Spoken)
man as yet is half grown
Even his flower stem has not appeared yet
He’s all leaves and roots without
a sign of stem in sight
Blossoming, establishing a new pure relationship with the cosmos
It is the sign of heaven.
It’s the sign of the cobra.
It’s the sign of a man who knows himself royally.
Crowned with the sun.
His feet gripping the earth as he goes.
We have arrived.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there I did not die.
I am not there I did not die.

they say i'm gone
but i've just arrived
they say i'm dead
but i'm more alive
than i've ever been
i'm reaching for light

chorus:
a melody is a
supernatural score
a highway from me and
it's straight to
my lord here i am
reaching for light

me and the child we
are naked and warm
waiting for magic and
bubbles to form
here we are
reaching for light

chorus:

i watch her fall
i watch her rise
i watch her wake up
right before she dies
here we are
we're reaching for light

chorus:

what is the time
the time is now
where do we sit
my friends
we sit here somehow
'cause here we are
we're reaching for light

chorus:

you bring the grass
and i will bring the drum
you bring the
book my friend
and i will bring the sun
'cause here we are
we're reaching for light

you bring the crowd
and i will bring the song
and we'll build
the four walls
where we finally belong
'cause here we are
right here, right now
reaching for light

chorus:

and when i wake
then i'm born to die
i cannot fake it now
and i'll no longer lie
here i am
i'm reaching for light

take these demons from my brain
i can't get caught in that thought again
and all these patterns seem the same
first my mind begins to slip
then i fall and loose my grip
and it all comes back to this

take these demons from my brain
i can't get caught in that thought again
and all these patterns seem the same
first my mind begins to slip
then i fall and loose my grip
and it all comes back to this

she is no ordinary girl
but you'd be good to know
her, world from on high
i know 'cause we walk
side by side
she says i'll help you
keep your dream alive
c'mon, let's walk
side by side

and while we go
we all sing,

chorus:
they won't bury us
till we die
they won't bury us
till we die

we'll rise in his shadow
we will overtake his throne
while me and sister
we are headed home
and while we go,
we sing

chorus:

- Waiting for a Sign

Chorus:

In the end I will descend
Like all the rest have done
But in my way I'd like to stay
Until I know I've won
I have won
Until I know I've won
'Cause I can't take that midnight train
To another time
I'm stuck here and it's getting late
And I'm waiting for a sign
A sign
I'm waiting for a sign

I was told of gold
Traveled fifteen miles to find it sold
And then ten more
To the man who made the gold's front door
He let me in
To tell his sins
And left my pockets empty
As they were before

Chorus:

In the end I will descend
Like all the rest have done
But in my way I'd like to stay
Until I know I've won
I have won
Until I know I've won
'Cause I can't take that midnight train
To another time
I'm stuck here and it's getting late
And I'm waiting for a sign
A sign
I'm waiting for a sign

All the lazy boys
They join the choir to make their noise
Lifting off of the ground
Eight and ninety doctors will make their rounds
They let me in
To count my sins
And not a one can tell me
What it is he's found

Chrous:
