“maybe I’m Crazy”
Another one to re-record one of these days. Written Circa 2003, and was the first complete original song E and I ever played together. Church at Bethany. Back in the day. We had a saxophone and drums to back us. Who knew? . . .

Do You still call me “son” when my heart’s on the run
Or do I need to find a foster home to call my own?
Will it still be the same when I call on Your Name,
Even though I only pick up the phone, it seems, when it rains?
Before my world’s falling down, Will I turn around and walk humbly out
Of the foolishness and the pride, the lusts of my eyes, and walk by Your side?
Well maybe I’m crazy, or desperately lazy, Lord knows that I can’t tell.
Or maybe just foolish, but I know I can’t do this by myself.
And here I stand like a child all alone trying to cross a busy street
without a hand to hold and I know that the road is long, and the traffic is deep,
And sometimes that “don’t walk” is for me.
Sometimes I find myself caught here between bars and lines,
Counting in time to my own mind. But He moves like a song around me
And suddenly He is my key of life, so why can’t I play it right?
Well maybe I’m crazy, or desperately lazy, Lord knows that I can’t tell.
Or maybe just foolish, but I know I can’t do this by myself.
And here I sit like a man all alone trying to wade this flowing Jordan
without a boat of my own, and I know the is river’ wide, and the tide she is deep,
but I learned how to swim at His feet, and He will always carry me,
so the waves never pass more than over my feet
Sometimes I find myself caught here between earth and sky,
When clouds define what’s on my mind,
But He moves like a storm around me
And suddenly He is the air I breathe
And I survive as I inhale the breath of life
When I’m wallowing in the filth and pain,
Walking just like Cain will you still call my name?
I know you are able. And if I fall away with myself to blame,
Will you seek and save and change my heart’s label?
