World Of Steam

In the middle of the forest is a place I know
And if I ever leave here that's where I'm gonna go
But the city keeps me comin', coming back again
Somewhere in this world of steam.
I'm stacking stones to the heavens to reach out for my dreams
There's a girl that I know. I believe I'll meet her there
In that house in the forest. she's waiting on the stairs
But all I have is a picture; with a promise on the back.
Somewhere in this world of steam.
I'm stacking stones to the heavens to reach out for my dreams
All I have is a picture; and a promise on the back.

Matters

These years flash by like moving pictures past my eyes
I felt so small inside I'm surprised that I'm alive
This might just matter
Wires in and power on. start the dynamo
Spins around the room until there's no more asking why
I think this matters
You can hear the metal shaking loose and breaking free
But holding it together's why we love you so
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Wires in and power on. Start the dynamo.
Spins around the room until there's no more asking why
I think this matters
You're all that matters

Faith of Heart

When my father died I was not surprised, no
but I closed down inside
I went to a sermon looking for an answer
and wound up high and dry
I don't blame the preacher
he did what he could do
and I heard every word
I'm not jaded
I have faith
a faith of heart and mind
looking under tables for answers in the dark
finding only keyholes to doors I can't unlock
Somehow I found morals
a compass in the darkness
to tell me right from wrong
I don't think it's too wrong
to say I found the answer
without that preacher's help
I'm not jaded
I have faith
a faith of heart and mind

For The Light

I saw a light hung by a doorway
and searched the sky to find my own
covered up against my fears
and I steer myself away from here
Maybe next time you'll be there
holding up a light to steer me home
Maybe someday you'll be there
and maybe someday I'll come home
Found myself outside a window
searching for a friendly stare
I caught the eye of one I once knew
but she didn't seem to care
Maybe next time you'll be there
holding up your eyes to steer me home
Maybe someday you'll be there
and maybe someday I'll come home
In the limbo between then and now
in the middle of my life
in the back seat; holding tight
headed toward the light
Pushing forward with my hands tied back
Moving onward with my mind
in the back seat; holding tight
headed toward the light
Maybe next time you'll be there
holding up the keys to my front door
Maybe someday you'll be there
and maybe someday I'll come home
