Every day I grow braver,
each moment brings me closer,
to the heat
from the fire in your eyes
when I first saw you,
all the tumbling digits
within me
fell into place.
I opened wide
I did not wait for you with patience
I sought you with
calculated determination
like a heat seeking missile.
I frightened myself
This isn't quiet love
Not wine and candlelight
But bonfires and firefights
(Explosions in the sky)

Kingdom come
pulled in a thousand directions
taunt tight-rope
toss and tumble.
Every teacher at my school
every song, every book
save a sacred few
screams at me that God is dead
hope is gone, and truth isn't true
your kingdom come
your will be done
in this burned out,
cynical world
for you surpass the
weak understanding of man
and the foolish philosophies
of the bitter-hearted
but I know:
I need you
your kingdom come
your will be done
amidst my conflict and confusion
you're a map in the wild
lamp in the dark
roof over my head
boots on my feet
money in my pocket
for a cup of tea
you warm my bones
fill me to overflow
in every cell of my body,
your kingdom come
in every word, in every thought,
your will be done.
taunt tight-rope
toss and tumble.
