Reform

Reform (A Song)


Vs. 1
I hear my bones rattling
In this dry and dusty place
I’m a valley of silence
With no body and no face
My life and dreams are shattered
All you get is what you see
But something’s begun shaking
And it won’t turn loose of me.

So, Noisy pile of bones
Come together and form
A framework for new life
Where dreams can be reborn
Yeah, Dreams can be reborn

Vs. 2
Things they are connecting
If it’s one strand at a time
I'm feeling more protection
Form around pieces that I find
It’s all come together
But there’s more yet that I need
Dreams they can’t lay still
It’s by motion they are freed

So, now, flesh and sinew
Give these bones a chance to move
They’re calling for “do-over”
They’ve got something left to prove
Yeah, someone left to prove

Vs. 3
A breeze begins stirring
Like breath blown across the land
And I’m craving animation
My chest wants to expand
You know dreams fully formed
Still await the perfect word
Right there on the starting line
Until the words are heard

So, Speak into the wind
Words are carried upon it
Stirring life again
And then I breathe them in
Yeah, let’s breathe them in

Vs. 4
I feel my body moving
I have now become a part
Of something bigger than me
My reformation’s just a start
Every step I take forward
This beating heart takes a leap
My identity is in motion
Synchronized with destiny

So, do not be afraid
If dream-sands fall through your fist
For the power of Ex Nihilo
Oh, it really does it exist…
‘Out of nothing’ does exist.

Inspired by Ezekiel 37 while reading a description of that passage in The Abbey's membership class manual "Belong 2011" and by many "going's on" in my own life and coversations with dear friends about it...
