Some Kind Of Zombie

All around the world people are trying.
Deserted souls cry to be filled.
Spirits left undone their hearts are hollow.
I can see, in their eyes, hollow lives.


And every heart, and every soul
And everybody's got a god-shaped hole.


You may have tried to fill that hole inside
With an empty hand you reached in vain.
Substitutes don't work, bandages only hurt.
The only thing that heals is the hand of god.


Nobody's meant to be left all alone.
Our lives are much too short
To have an empty soul.

Now my heart and mind agree
A super natural selected me
I see a plan so grandiose
My very own galapagos
God laid down and he began to trace
An image that he could embrace
Then he smiled down on his plan
And from the dust he made a man


I'm an original species
More enlightened than nietzshe
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
I am loved
By the maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
Though my body turns to sand
My soul is in his hands


A breakthrough theory of origin
A simple truth that's always been
Fingerprints have been left behind
That point us to a master mind
Stars in the sky
There to please my eye
The cosmos in his command
But he has time to hold my hand

Have i become, a target that some people
Can't resist?
My flaws have become a greater risk
If my name is a synonym to love and
Happiness then why am i bombarded
With distress?
My old friends, haven't seen them since i
Don't know when
But i can send them a signed 8 by 10
My sweetheart, she understands why i'm away
But still it gets harder every day


But it's my delight, to sing all night
Till the sun comes up again


After all my cross isn't hard to bear
It is heavy, i am weak, but you are there
There are times when i am down and
Feel undone
You pursue me like i am your only son
My old flaws you've overlooked and put to rest
They're farther than the east is from the west


But it's my delight, to sing all night
Till the sun comes up again
Yes it's my delight, to share a flicker
Of your light
Just a ray of hope to a friend


I've spent about 24 hours in a flying j
Truck stop
I haven't had a shower and 'bout to drop
It really doesn't matter if we make it all up

Bouncing like a buoy
Drifting on the water
Singletary solitute man begins to holler
He says "man overboard"
I jump ship on the trip
It was a worldwide cruise
Trading riches for some fishes
I've got nothing more to lose
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard


If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a trip bound for nowhere
On a unforgiving sea
I thank god for the light


Legs and arms are burning
I swim against the tide
Keep an eye above the water
So i can see the light
I'm a man overboard
I dream about the saviour
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand
You take my hand
And we will walk forevermore
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard


If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiving sea
I thank god
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
On an unforgiving sea
I thank god for the lighthouse
I thank god for the light

Twenty years ago i watched in awe
As my dad drove up the driveway.
More than proud to have a brand
New family car.
Thirty miles to the gallon, 0 to 60,
Sometimes.
I remember putting down the back
Seat and lying in the hatchback.
Looking at the sky watching
Trees go by.
I was the son of a preacher, and
He was a rich poor man.



No a.c.
No fm,
And no regrets,
In my chevette.



The winter cracked the highway and
We tried to dodge the potholes.
He never promised us it would be a
Gentle ride.
He never had a problem though,
Keeping it on the narrow road.
