My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for

of a crystal tarp
Touched by dawning light

Underneath this plane there is a weight
That pushes me upward
Visions bounce where my oar breaks the face
Fractals

and out and rejuvenate
Grooves I make
Now I figured out what I'll do today
Who are they?
Don't try test don't be rude to me
Anyhow, get the oar and row

Yahweh 
Ocean diver
Yahweh 
Way maker 
Yahweh 
Life giver

Oh oh ah ah ah ah

Indescribable father 
Unexplainable lover
Architect of man kind

play by design
It’s almost like its truly mine
Architect to my own outline
I’m only human
Letting go is a common trait
Let it be let it free it will

Time ticks by, one day it's going to stop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
We don't want this
We can try but I don't hold out hope
I'm fine but

an anchor or an oar,
You're a cottage sitting pretty by the shore.
When love is on fire, I'm a bird on a wire.
It's easier to stay, high above the way,
It's

you on your way 
Flyin' by goes a stork 
You decide to bring your oars in now 
But accidentally knock out the cork 

Row your boat to shore

at the oars
   G#7              C#m
Or staring from the rail
        E -A         B7
And the sea bids farewell
             G#m
She waves in swells

Standing by a riverside 
A river so deep and so wide 
Current's too strong for only one man 
I know because I tried 

I got eight oars - 
four

Because of you Medusa, Medusa
The architect of pain
You know the reason why, they're all standing still
Because of you Medusa, Medusa
The architect of pain

you love to call
I'm feeling numb tonight
I'm no architect but the blueprint I drew up in my mind
It comes and goes yeah, thought I knew you
It comes

And we won't bow down to the likes of you
When we first started all we had was our last names
Digging ditches, swinging hammers with the architects

This is mass hysteria in these days and times
Blinded by the signs you living life in brail
You scared of your inner son, That's Why they skin is pale

nor by might
But by my Spirit says the Lord
I am the architect of your destiny 
I drew the plan long before you were conceived
Your greatness

she's drawn by an architect
And all of the mistakes that I made before in my life
All fall by the wayside now that she's mine

[Chorus:]
I know she's

the places you won't go

With your hands
Built with your hands slowly
Through your hands we won't slip

We are the architects
We are the architects

at the oars
   G#7              C#m
Or staring from the rail

 of an empire
I see a new architect
I see a fuse to be set fire
Forged in the wire
Pulled tight around your neck by the ICA

The balance of power is a delicate

If I were an architect
Drawn by my flaws
Could you teach me how to sketch
A solid facade
We live in the aftermath
Of spires and globes
The weight

architects that started
Designing t-shirts instead of buildings but
Just to see the work actually be actualized

If I sit down and talk to Oprah for 2
Hours,

I'll push off from the shore
Lay down these oars
I don't need to know
Where this river goes
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Where she goes
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na

You

those bound by blood
For those who found common ground on mounds of mud
The sound of us is comfort and closeness
We each play a note in a humbling opus

to the lifes designed
By the mind architects
It is then when you look around
And start doubting everything you were taught
How can the world be
Standing on such
