written summer 2003
midnight drivin'
highway ridin'
destination far beyond
the empty confessions
endless questions
silent supressions of my mind
to leave it all behind, lost in time
let the music ease my mind
and follow the road as it unwinds
midnight drivin'
freeway flyin'
silver starlight guides the night
to the open spaces
endless places
countless graces of the Light
to leave it all behind, lost in time
in silent prayers that ease my mind
to follow the road as it unwinds
into the night
i set my focus on the Light
and when i do
i realize it's not You
that i can run, and i can hide
look to the skies and wonder why
but when i see
i'll come to find it's just me
midnight drivin'
morning risin'
new horizons find my eyes
searching for somethin'
reaching for Heaven
arms wide open to the skies
i leave it all behind, lost in time
the whispered secrets of my mind
to follow the road as it unwinds
into the night
i set my focus on the Light
and when i do
i realize it's not You
that i can run, and i can hide
look to the skies and wonder why
but when i see
i'll come to find it's just me
let's leave it all behind, lost in time
with silent prayers to ease our minds
and follow the Road as it unwinds
into the night
i set my focus on the Light
and when i do
i realize it's not You
that i can run, and i can hide
look to the skies and wonder why
but when i see
i'll come to find it's just me
it's just me, it's just me
it's just me, it's just me
it's just me, it's just me
it's just me, it's just me
it's just me
about this song:
This was a song that was a long time in the writing. It actually began as a sort of upbeat, fun, pep-rock kind of road trip/driving song (think along the lines of Soul Assylum's "April Fool," Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway," or even the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Road Trippin'.") In the end, I guess this one really wrote itself, and it turned out to be the first song that really was originally written about God and faith.
