lyrics

I could stay within this moment for days.
Inside its name:
A hymn to all the brave.
Let me call him Father freely.
As nights linger, a girl must believe
In anything that’s stronger,
Anything other than me.
And I remain Somebody’s highest concern.
The tide may change,
But still the psalm is heard.
Delight takes me,
turns all inside out.
With eyes open,
and hardly a sound-
Cuz everything is silent,
As He was just looking at me.
Taken in, they’re so polite,
In their shining robes of very pretty lies.
And uniforms of strange deceit,
And stranger countries they’ve wanted me to see.
One day, spells break and walls do come down;
Head bowed, hands reach for the rose on the ground –
A symbol that it’s alright.
And I remain Somebody’s highest concern.
The tide may change,
But still the psalm is heard.

about

Miriam Marston Portland, Oregon

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
