Wake Up Old Adam (Underneath A Late Setting Moon)

Hey, I’m talking to you

With your head down

Goodnight darkness

Good morning late setting moon

The tides are changing because of you



Now that everything’s changing

Hope again is born new

And, dust shakes away

As light severs trapped love loose

My eyes open again to truth



I became so comfortable pacing my steps away from you

I forgot what I was running from or even running to

But, now that I’m so tired and breathless

I realize how far my restless legs took my blistered feet away from you

And, how deep my careless heart left my soul so bruised



Hey, I’m not finished talking

About how delicate love can move

Or how quickly it can prove you wrong

Or what it really means to stand silent

In the midst of wisdom’s truth



Though your axis may wobble

Nothing can shake it loose

If you’re planted in a foundation

Dug wide and deep

And anchored tightly to truth



I became so comfortable pacing my steps away from you

I couldn’t feel the agony of my soul missing you

Wishing again to be securely tied to you

In an early morning meadow

Underneath a late setting moon



Hey, I’m talking to you

Wake up Old Adam

Hey, I’m talking to you

Turn yourself around



I became so comfortable pacing my steps away from you

I forgot what I was running from or even running to

But, now that I’m so tired and breathless

I realize how far my restless legs took my blistered feet away from you

And, how deep my careless heart left my soul so bruised
