What We’re Looking For (Lyric & Music: John A. Walsh & David S. George)

 

Sidewalk cracked and wet with rain; I wander through these streets again

The clouded sky is dark with grey and I’m wet and cold as I make my way.

Storm blew in and it’s here to stay; the fog of life obscures the way

There is no shelter, I can’t keep dry and it’s hard to run from what’s inside.

And I’ve been waiting on you to come and save me

You’ve been look at me too, searching for your sky blue…

 

What you want from me is what I need from you;

What we’re looking for we can’t find here.

We don’t need more lies, we don’t need more time just to work it out.

We don’t need more second chances; we’re just looking for the way.

 

Years go by, time and again, the same old storm keeps blowing in.

You’d think I’d finally had enough, but my soul get worn as the road gets rough.

And I’ve been looking for you to pull me through this

But we’re both lost in the storm, drowning in our lives…

 

What you want from me is what I need from you;

What we’re looking for we can’t find here.

We don’t need more lies, we don’t need more time just to work it out.

We don’t need more second chances; we’re just looking for the way.

 

City On the Hill (Lyric & Music: John A. Walsh)

 

Imagine, if you will, a moonlit desert highway                                                          

Like a black & winding ribbon underneath the midnight blue                                   

All’s quiet but the drone of the rubber meeting road                                               

The land is dark and desolate and with a mystery imbued                           

 

Surely, this is the right way; you know the roadmap says it’s so                  

But the night spawns apprehension and doubt begins to grow                   

It might be best to turn around – go back from where we came                  

After all, that’s familiar ground, without the threat of unknown rain          

But wait…

 

There’s a City on the Hill; high & shining there                                                         

With the promise of a resting place from the burdens that we bear            

This road will take us there if we can find it in our will      

To brave the palisades up to the City on the Hill                                          

 

For so long we’ve been yearning to get loose from these chains                     

But the darkness only seems to deepen with each rebellion that we wage   

In our thirst we have been humbled before the Ancient One of Days              

Have we not suffered for our trouble?  Can He not save us from our ways? 

Yes…

 

There’s a City on the Hill; high & shining there                                                         

With the promise of a resting place from the burdens that we bear            

This road will take us there if we can find it in our will                                

To brave the palisades up to the City on the Hill                                          

 

As the path begins to climb you can feel the warmer air    

And we’re drawn to go inside as the city gate appears      

With our faces streaked with tears                                                  

After wasting all these years…                                                        

 

There’s a City on the Hill; high & shining there                                                         

With the promise of a resting place from the burdens that we bear            

This road will take us there if we can find it in our will                                

To brave the palisades up to the City on the Hill
