From the album: Canticle of The Plains

LYRICS:

I sit on a piano stool and I make up songs for these men who

come in with dust on their faces and mud on their boots

From these places that I'll never go.

I sleep in a rented bed with a woman who gives me

what lttle I get of the love that we'd like to imagine is left

Of the love that we never did know

I slip out and scribble a note that reads like a million books

It's a four cent nickel for my dime store theme, but it sure reads good

And If I could make it work in life

Like it works on paper

If the love that I describe

Could be anything but words

Then I would wipe my eyes

I'd dry this ink

I'd trade my pen in on a pair of wings

And I would... I would fly

If I could only make it work in life

And at the end of every night I add up the tips and I count for what's mine

I come down to a thing that amounts to a lie

And the sum of it all I'm afraid

Is less then what I know I need

to slip beneath the surface of my forgeries

Where I buried my hopes where sometimes my dreams

Still stun me and steal me away.

And I can still hear Dine Bikeyah call just like we were kids

I could tell you all about it in a song

But Lord I wish

If I could make it work in life

Like it works on paper

If the love that I describe

Could be anything but words

Then I would wipe my eyes

I'd dry this ink

I'd trade my pen in for a pair of wings

And I would fly

If I could only make it work in life, Oh, If I could only make it work in life

Then he's communicating it well. His character is very sad and empty at this point. It is a sad song. Such a beautiful voice!

He was part of the recording, he played another character, this is from Canticle Of the Plains by Rich Mullins and Mitch McVicker, Beaker.... if i had it in front of me i'd know better. Anyhoo, it's possible. Probable. Not sure why i didn't write that last time.

This has nothing to do with DC Talk - it is a musical by Rich Mullins, Mitch McVicker and Beaker.

I wonder if he was singing this because he misses his brothers from dc talk?

@disposedsoul - without even checking, i knew exactly what you had to be talking about :) His voice is just indescribable (at least by me and my suddenly limited vocabulary)

@JesusFreak1john17 - really? I didn't know it was anywhere but Canticle of the Plains, i'll check it out! :). Michael is on that recording as well, if you haven't heard his "Oh My Lord"... oh that song makes me cry and just be so grateful to Jesus every time i hear it! Amazing singers and amazing writers for that musical - Rich Mullins, Beaker, and Mitch McVicker.
