Jerry Heard The Canon Roar
©Jerry Axson

And when I fall this hard, my eyes closed so tight,
that’s when I slip so deeply, into the darkest night,
my opened mouth is screaming, but not a sound comes out,
I heard the canon’s roar, as I was tossed about,
It’s not for lack of trying, it’s not my will to bare,
the pressing host of weight, the earth, the moon, the air,
form watersheds above me, dancing landslides below,
and I am in the middle, don’t know which way to go...

I have walked through this world,
made my way by your hand,
In faith I’ve never questioned,
what I don’t understand,
now my song is dying,
and I must be set free,
all I ask my lord -
please release me...

Beneath this ancient mountain, hidden from eyes that see,
inside a secret room, immersed in melody,
the structure and the temper, still take my breath away,
as I am laid to waste, all but swept away,
from time spent in your presence, on lips that held your name,
the river in my eyes, will quench this final flame,
hear me crying to you - hear me crying to you -
hear me crying...hear me crying...

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
