Powerlines
Once I followed your words like powerlines
Energy of infinite will
Chasing it I climbed high over peaks
Down creases of green
The treetops could not touch you then- only me

Now I just call and let it ring

I took a turn that felt wrong
Left my studies on the table
Joined a celebration raging
In the black belly of Babylon
Darkness into dawn, and all my work at restoration
Was overturned, undermined
I wonder why I never learn

Until I'm on the other side

Hey, I'm here calling your name
I'm here losing a day to fear
But I'm calling your name

If a color disappears- goes gray
And stays that way for years
And then one day, then one day
Shows up to shine
And paints a line between the laughter and the damage
A little test of trust could earn the understanding
And burn back to dust any evil we were planning
A little test of trust

I just call and let it ring...
