lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm taking stock
What I've imposed
My self believed
My self deceived
Faith blind embraced
Religion preached
Cosy rejected
Givens replaced

[Chorus]
Offer to you
Surrender ownership
Use as you will
Forgo desire fulfilled

[Verse 2]
What I've dismissed
What I confess
What I admit
What I regret
Awareness gained
Innocent lost
What I've remembered
What I've forgot

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I'm taking stock
What I've achieved
Should I go on
Or time to stop?

[Repeat Chorus x2]

[Spoken word outro]
For me it's eight hundred plus songs sharing a personal journey with spirituality placed in the public domain. My intention to somehow be a spiritual positive in the lives of those who enjoy them, or at least to help a lonely traveller or two feel a little less alone. I believe you're in everyone's heart ... guiding the wanderings of all ... the 'arranger of happy coincidences'. Can I therefore leave it up to you what happens now? Defer to your judgement? Herby forgo desire to directly enjoy the fruits of my activities? Is my mission complete? Am I done? Did I do good? Are you smiling?

Songs Of Dave England, UK

David's songs are generally confessional or observational in nature, sometimes comedic or ironic, mostly of philosophical or theosophical subject-matter ... often in the form of imagined dialogue with God.
