(feauring Jon Gibson)

As the sun rises

The moon descends
Bringing another chapter of my life to an end
I plan to win

If I fail, try again
Body leaning forward
Into the force of the wind

Wearing shades to sustain my vision
Commissioned, conditioned
Cause I train

I have goals I must obtain or go insane
Worshiping God
Gives me strength when I'm drained

Delirious from my quest
Chris you must understand your purpose
Before you can expect someone to be blessed

When they purchase
A recording packed
Wt. ecclesiastical recordings

I thank you lord
For once again with wisdom you showered me
A vessel who offends you daily

Knowing this and I still choose
To disobey thee
My God how can I ever repay thee


Chorus


As the sun rises
The moon descends
Bringing another chapter of my life to an end

I'm awaken by the rays
Shinning through my blinds
As I stand to live out yesterdays thoughts

I left behind
Are the detrimental or instrumental
Is my ego so thick

That even if the answer is negative I won't switch
Man I'm leaning on Proverbs chapter 3 verse 6
Trying not to get caught up in the mix

Tripping of f of baller's and tricks
I love the grip and the lavish life style
But then I'm spooked

By the phony smile
I feel like I'm on trial
The path I stroll

Controls the destiny to my soul
Trying to imagine forever
Then my concentration is broken by this peddler

Asking me for a dollar
I look into his eyes
And I can see that he's not right

He explains
Man I haven't been the same
Since I was 19

Sent off to Vietnam to fight

Chorus


As the sun rises
The moon descends

Bringing another chapter of my life to an end
A communion of interest to those who respect my
opinion

A pothole to those
Who feel they need no more wisdom?
I choose not to argue

Because ones thoughts
Are shaped by what they've seen
But I firmly stand on 1peter 3:15

Though at times it seems
The more I !@#^yze
The more I realize

We've been programmed to memorize
And except it as the way to be
Living the speakers reality
Well my millennium mentality prevents me
>From this act

I must study to accumulate facts
For everything has truth
It was one big pie
Someone got the recipe
Added their own ingredients

Giving birth to a lie
Hindering the possibility
Of one experiencing the maximum level of Gaiety
When I die
How will the world remember me?

Will my family benefit from my legacy?
This is the mind state
That I am continuously in
As the sun rises
And the moon descends
