Late night on a Sunday and he’s working
He’s changing the things that he can change
His night is comprised of fixing errors
Preserving language in the world
The sunlight gives way to total darkness
While others are sleeping in their beds
His night is composed of several hours
Correcting usage that is wrong
Late night on a Sunday and he’s working
He’s fixing the things that he can fix
His body of work comprises thousands
Of times he saved us from ourselves
Fighting for our world
For order and not for fame
Saving all of us
Though nobody knows his name
He’s cleaning up messes made by others
He’s moving through life and doing good
Mr. Henderson keeps us from destruction
In ways we hardly ever knew
Late night on a Sunday and he’s working
He’s saving the world but no one knows

Pave the steps
Along a path unfaltering
Never break or turn around
You yearn ever more
Fertile soil beneath each stride
Unrecognized
Blinded by these foolish thoughts
Of what this is for
Take each step
Along the path unfaltering
Never break or turn around
Always wanting more
In the earth
Each footprint marks a moment passed
The trance we’re in is rapid pace
No time to explore
Rain falling down washes out what we don’t need
From up above we are nourished by life giving nature
Rain falling down feeds the plants and the flowers at our feet
Bringing us life brightness beauty if we choose to see it
Shaping a life is a series of choices
Happiness comes from within you if you look inside
In the journey forward
You can choose your own way
If you search for meaning
You will find what you’re looking for
Focus on your values
Seeing things as they are
Open eyes there’s more here
As you find your own path

Rain is falling
Sky grows darker
Wind pushing through the trees
Never ending
Dawn is breaking
Light is turning
Storm in the dead of night
Turns to morning
Sit in stillness
Calm and steadfast
I am a mountain
Overlooking

Broken in pieces and all on the floor
Snapshot the moments a picture of you
Taking what’s lost here and what lies in store
Feeling the fear that I know is untrue
Holding the pieces I see something more
Previous moments have grown into now
Taking what I’ve learned I go through the door
Finding the peace that I never allowed
And here we are
In moments changing
Our peace is gone
Where do we go
And here we are
Now rearranging
The pieces fallen down
Now built again

There is a place I know
A picture of greenery
That’s where we can go
Our calm in the storm
Beyond ideas of wrong
The right doesn’t matter
Our days will be long
In peace we can find
In everything we say and do,
You’ll see our souls rest
The language, words, the phrasing gone
I’ll meet you there
And now we’re here, we’ve just begun!
This state of being
The grasp, the hold is all undone
Each time you see
Inside this place we find
Our lives in a moment
With calm in our minds
And love in our hearts
We spend our days in joy
Our nights in compassion
In kindness employed
A presence and peace
In everything we say and do,
You’ll see our souls rest
The language, words, the phrasing gone
I’ll meet you there
And now we’re here, we’ve just begun!
This state of being
The grasp, the hold is all undone
Each time you see
It lasts forever,
So we have time
Our field in Redhill
I’ll meet you there
