Friday
Embracing the Easy Life: Jacob Bellens' Friday Journey
Lyrics
I wake up in the morning
I start my day
the sun comes up
The sun rises
the City has a heart attack
The city experiences a crisis
while lonely hearts are calling
Lonely hearts seek connection
from mountaintops
Expressions of emotion from high places
I head towards the railway tracks
I move towards the train tracks
my bags are packed and loaded
I am ready to leave with my belongings
and soft guitars
Soft guitar sounds emanate from the radio
are coming out the radio
The magic of the present moment
the magic of the moment
Prompting me to ask something of you
is making me ask of you to
Take me to where life is easy
Take me where the living is easy
Without fear
I’m not afraid
Choosing not to stay in the current situation
staying here
Causing confusion or disorientation
is making me dizzy
There is still time for change
it's not too late
I move over water, defying convention
I walk upon the water
What Jesus avoids
what Jesus won't
We, the rest, will do
the rest of us will surely do
Crossing borders may offer a better life
and life across the border
For both you and me
for all we know
In the unknown territory
is better for both me and you
There's potential for improvement
if I begin to mention
If I talk about
he summer rain
The rain of summer
the light upon your face at night
The light on your face in the night
just to get your attention
To capture your attention
I might give in or just let you know that
I might surrender or inform you
Life goes on
Life continues
but I will be ready
I will be prepared
to let love intake control
To let love take charge
of my life in the city
Of my life in the city
and state I'm in
Despite my current condition
Take me where the living is easy
Take me where life is easy
I'm not afraid
Without fear
staying here
Choosing not to stay in the current situation
is making me dizzy
Causing confusion or disorientation
it's not too late
There is still time for change
