I am a Work in Progress

lyrics

I am a Work in Progress

here I am finding a voice as if I had a choice
of who I am cos this is who I am
if you give a damn about what I got to say
and the colours of my day

born in the south east grew up in the south west
In a part of Devon that has no roots in the
Earth - no sense of worth, no respect for the
Mysteries that surround us

I’m not from Brighton Manchester or Liverpool
or any of those places where the accent is a bit more
cool but Jesus got me breaking down the classes
And I will fight for justice for the masses

that would rhyme if I came from another part o
town - Still its time to get up of our assets

Chorus
I am a work in progress, an incomplete design
A shadow of my creator, a reflection of the divine
A curious invention, built to fall apart
To discover in my breaking, the reason for my art
I am a work in progress, an imperfected scheme
A child on a journey, towards his makers dream
The point is I’m not finished yet, my story isn’t done
I know it never will be, until we all are one

So where do I go? I’ve been hiding in my
Studio – Trying to write the songs that speak to you
In the language of the world around me But
you ain’t got the words I need in your vocabulary

I wanna talk about angels and demons
I wanna talk about rebuilding the world
I wanna talk about purposes and reasons
I wanna see your wings unfurled

I wanna dream up a vision of the future
Where everything is brilliant and OK isn’t good enough
I want you to listen to the wisdom of the teacher
And ask bigger questions when you don’t understand stuff

The blinds are down in spite of the
sunshine – time for me to step outside now

repeat Chorus
