NEW EARTH

(Album: A NEW EARTH - 2023)

And I say
Deacon wake up
Deacon wake up
You gotta wake up

Oh, I've been lied to
I've sold my soul
To call your name
Oh, I'm connecting
To move past you
And stop the rain

I'm sorry I can't fake it
I can't spend my whole life chasing
Something I won't love when I make it
To me, this life is better when you face it
Look, I've been down so long now its only up
Dreaming with the guys, yeah its only us
The Ace is always High, that's the only trust
Libra on the edge, I was born on the cusp

And I can't stop now, I'm iN2DEEP
Put in my ten thousand hours, I'm only nineteen
But I'm dreaming so damn hard, I wrote this song up in my sleep
Yeah I'm all in or nothing, ain't no world where I wasn't

So I'm hoping what I say don't sound like hoping all the time
Cause I open up the gates and then I know in side my mind
Just gotta keep an open soul, and keep becoming full
And keep being a man while I'm keeping up my fam

No I ain't the kid that I used to be
Don't know how I ever was with what I used to see
And I grew up in the light so now they think they know
But damn there's so much shit I guess they'll never know

But even if they did, I gotta take it on my own it's my shit
If you're sitting at the wheel, then drive it
It was all too real to let lies win

Okay, I'm all in, all night no halfway shit
I'm all up, in my mind, so just be patient
I'll get it all out, like I did from LA, when I left for the south
(And now I'm on my way)
Yeah I'm watching, I'm waiting, I'm a student of the game
And I'll smile through the rain so all the students know my name
But this song ain't even for or about me
This energy it blocks the lies that surround me

Oh, I've been lied to
I've sold my soul
To call your name
Oh, I'm connecting
To move past you
And stop the rain
