Kat Jones Rheanna is one of the greatest songwriters that I have ever met. She's an unbelievably powerful guitar player, performer, and one of my best friends. I wholeheartedly believe that the later comment does not bias me, however. Favorite track: Steel Boat Astray.

Well I loose my plans, I let go again. I know there is no way apart from Him Where I've planned my steps, direct my path And I come today to surrender at last I raise my hands, my hands, my hands I raise them high and I let go again I raise my hands, my hands, my hands Well I will walk the length and stand I will stand again To taste this love and to hold it near, I can't count the ways that it would persevere And the grandest eyes that I could look through You gave vision clear to unveiled truth So I raise my hands, my hands, my hands… When my heart is stone instead of flesh When I see no good and I have nothin left I will raise my hands to give that which has no name And you will make it real, so I can feel again So I raise my hands, my hands, my hands...

You must try to bypass disillusion, it's keeping them down; it makes them confused. Even though the trouble is within, there's always someone to blame The dark cloud in the tin covered box that their heart's in. You must stop questioning yourself, always worried about effecting somebody else. And you can't help bringing truth to the surface, People swimmin around in a picture they're producing. It's always too slow for them to grow. Cause here we know there's always some way out. Building walls of snow in the middle of a drought. Does it make it better now? There is one piece of lost information, they say too many words may make a display. So they buy the listeners a big birthday present, there is nothing inside But it sounds awfully pleasant. Keep you sick, Don't know what you missed. Cause here we know there's always some way out. Building walls of snow in the middle of a drought. Does it make it better now? And I know better now. Swallowing rainbow covered clouds. And it's all I can run from to the truth. I know where I come from, do you? When the day arrives too late, You'll lye awake, starring straight Cause you know, you've been building walls of snow Ya, you know, you been building walls of snow.

Winter's racing up and down my veins again. I have not believed the things of You for them. But you're on my side The weight that correlates is carefully aligned. How many hallelujia's break the page Before my heart can truly know their weight. Some things are too reverent. I have not nearly reached them yet. We fall asleep in the sunlight only to pull the moon in place The world will move us to follow and lose our views within it's race. The calm never stays too long. Soon enough so tangled, don't even know it's gone Till it's much too late The frozen stare of my reflection casted off the frame.

By the Hand 05:03
In the shade of this dream I will follow you. Cause I believe nothin else will do. All that washes me is in your hands. Oh but I got so much time to kill. Boredom will haunt me, I need a thrill. Won't you take me by the hand, Take me far away, I'm starving for another land. All your glory and your perfect, perfect plan. I'm barely a grip, holding to your ties. If I should slip, hold me to your side. So many ropes leading to demise. I've tried to choose so carefully All of these sorrows won't let me be Won't you take me by the hand Take me far away, I'm starving for another land All your glory and your perfect, perfect plan...

Six o'clock in the morning, alright… alright. I feel my head startin to spin. Way too early for sunshine, my body thinks it's sleeping in. So I sing nananana… Alright, alright The day was long the night was short. And now I'm wishing for some more… sleep. But this I can not afford, so I will hold on. I will hold on, singing Nananana… alright, alright. The morning is so unforgiving And coffee's the only thing that takes. Tell me is this the cost for living, when all I wanna do is stay up late Singing nananana…. alright, alright….

I Want 05:39
I raise questions of my fate here, but I know I know He will follow through. These days are like mountains caving in, But I know, I am not hollow. And each hour shades my youthful full heart. When I want To be free And I want To see Just for once I believe But I want And You know what I need. These tired, lonely heartaches for the world They can not be silenced. And I am a piece of work myself But I know heaven can fix this Would I cry myself to sleep at night Over this? When I want To be free And I want To see Just for once I believe But I want And you know what I need...

Give me a chance, without all the hangup's You're questions are just deflections of trust. And I can answer into the evening, But would you believe things you don't understand? You are not the first one to think that you have got a Better explanation than the death of my son. And I am never forceful, some will come and some will go But I am not changing, just taste what I've done. The seasons of life will always amaze you. Your weaknesses may show you a need. They say I'm a crutch, pawn me off as religion It's too hard to trust things you just can not see. But you are not the first one… When moments are over what is the question If there's nothing left to hide behind? Philosophies, traditions, even good manners, What's left is the truth and you just can not hide. Cause you are not the first one...

I am opening up a door to let the whole world in. Man no longer has to work or wage to pay for his own sin. Now you can listen or talk over the sound, but I am always knocking. I never tire of the door in the way, it's just the front screen locking me out and.. Is this safety enough for you? You say, "It's alright with me." I don't want to change the real you Because you're alright with me. I just got so much better to offer "you know it's alright with me" I'll keep one hand in my pocket till you unlock it Cause it's alright with me to stand here and try. The seasons come and the seasons go I feel the whole world staring to change. You are no longer young, you feel your body start to age. And now the questions in your heart are wondering what it is to be alive or dying And I am just sitting here, trying to educate you, dear And what in the world are you finding? Is this safety enough for you….

Again 02:58
Wake me out of a desert, I climb. Freedom is wherever I find Him. Again. Can I be alone with you my love, I need water from above.

Water 05:29
He holds me like serenity, poetry Skillfully driving me, infringe upon privacy. Everything dear to me, all of my anamoly The things that you don't usually see. And I take form of the infantile hold- The seed that grows, the melodies that mold me, The free and everlasting glimpse… Everything that's near to me Everything that's dear to me. He's like the water that runs over me Too easy to lose my grip Feels as if my soul is washed out to sea Don't want to lose what He made me to be I don't want to lose what He made me to be.

After the wars that we have weathered it all, I see the light reflection of Your victory. I am the peddler, the far away land I seek. Pieces of gold I've sold, abundance of all the treasures I bring. So off with it all, I beg you to offer it all And don't let it bend you Cause no matter where you are, It will find you No matter where you are, it will blind you. Oceans may manifest across a dry land, and yet so unbelieving with all of the evidence. In a stolen city, I am walking a golden road. Narrow, it may be fitting for those unwilling to sell their souls. So off with it all, I beg you to offer it all And don't let it bend you Cause no matter where you are, it will find you. No matter where you are, it will blind you.

I'm always dreaming of the summertime in winter, And I'm running through a field aflame with nothing but your name. I'm always speaking through a tired and limited version Of what I wanted you to see. And I'm sorry But there will be a brand new body I get excited all the time There will be perfect evening with always something To fill the sky And we will never be bored We will never be bored Or bound by time. I am awaiting an arrival of perfection Though I know I am short, to be sure. And being prey to time is something that should not apply But to learn the lessons that we must endure And I'm sorry But there will be a brand new body I get excited all the time There will be perfect evenings with always something To fill the sky And we will never be bored We will never be bored Or bound by time.

Waking in a steel boat astray Fever of the midnight to play. And I am not afraid now, The sky has turned to grey And the color's green all around The leaves are frozen and my mind crowds I am not the same now How could I ignore?
