Hey there Condor
I heard you as you were soaring by
When all your heart's doors
Became walls a thousand miles high
I'll be the quilt around your shoulders
We'll walk together through the storm
I saw you shaking yesterday
Only wanting to be warm
Let me take you over
I'll be your bridge when you have nothing to give
And I don't mind
Make me your solder
Take my hand if you want to live
See the light in my eyes
Paint a fourth petal on your clover
As it takes hold
As it takes you over
Hey there wanderer
I'll take your staff as you step inside
I know what you're seeking it's simple
Trans-existential peace of mind
There's a healer not far
He's more potent than time
If you open your heart maybe he'll use these feeble
Hands of mine
When we walk alone
We doubtless arrive a little further from the throne
But God smiles as he looks down
And we don't take the long way 'round

Flight Over Flood
03:44

Ivory skin, blackened with tar
She relents
Bows her head
Stops pressing so hard
Apostate sin
No explaining
Rather be the prodigal than a bride of Canaan
So she stands a little closer to the rain
There's a subtle change in her voice
Draw a chain across the stage
The light made its choice
It's easier to fade from the life she had begun
Into the grey
We let her run
Better the honesty
Than the facade of faith
The clouds gather overhead
She waits for a sign
The wind receives her as a fried
It calls her name when
She stands a little closer to the rain
There's a subtle change in her voice
A mark of hate upon the way
She lost her day of choice
Beneath a mountain's worth
Of water not stone
I'll gently support
Her heart with my own
Don't fear this water-deteriorated road
You blessing forever strong
May it be what, truth be told
You find your messiah upon
Be my armor in the rain
Like a long-lost love
When you need restitution
I'll be your dove

Jacob's Song
02:53
|

Evening breaks
Esau begs
Before the day is sealed
Jacob gave
And his slave
Forsakes the birthright for a meal
His mother wept
Jacob left
With no excuse to give
From the throne flew
Angels who knew
A song for the fugitive
Roll the stone over and rest your head
When night falls you have no fear
Heard a whisper on heaven and it said
The Lord will meet you here
Rachel cried
Demons died
When he opened up that well
Did he see light in her eyes?
Fourteen years time would tell
Oh Laban, what were you thinking?
His God is drinking your plans up
For all the tricks and the games you play
He will take
Both your daughters away
Send the women and children to the other side
He's got an angel keeping him up at night
Esau says this is my own flesh and blood
He's fought with God and Man and overcome

Ted Bridgman Seattle, Washington
I was raised by wolves. Maybe housecats. Or bearcats.
One of them taught me to play guitar.
So I do. And I keep on because people seemed to enjoy it.
I hope my music takes a little piece of you, and you grow in understanding when you try to take it back.
