about

Is it possible to hide spiritual immaturity behind a facade of good deeds? Do we ever do the right things for the wrong reasons? Does it matter?

lyrics

SAINT (ON THE SHELF)

It's an uphill climb
And it's facing her all the time
showing a face that's brave
finding a life to save

Discerning a goal of life
through all of the trying strife
Appearing to face her fears
But staying away from mirrors

(ch) Focusing only on others
Avoiding confronting a self
Taking all the deeper questions
And putting them on the highest shelf
Ah.....keep 'em up on the highest shelf
Ah.....don't look

Of course life's supposed to be hard
But someday will come a reward
At least that's what she's been told
By other poor lambs in the fold

No one would say that she's wrong
Been practicing this for so long
Staying with what she knows
Ignoring the wind that blows

(ch) Focusing only on others
Avoiding confronting a self
Taking all the deeper questions
And putting them on the highest shelf
Ah.....keep 'em up on the highest shelf
Ah.....don't look

(br)
Identify problems, and focus attention
Who is the judge in this scene?
Bringing a god force into the equation
asking the shepherd what does it mean
(what does a shepherd know?)
(what can a shepherd know?)
,,,,,,,,,
Musical verse interlude

Then chorus

If you're here, you probably already know me. But just in case you happened here and don't know me personally, I will tell you just a bit about me. I'm a school teacher in Utah who makes music in the basement using electronic and acoustic equipment. It's a fun hobby. My track prices are cheap because I'm just happy if someone wants to own one or two! ... more
