Nine hundred and thirty years and I've seen it all
Nine hundred and thirty years and you'll see it all
I saw the world when it was new
Then I saw it be abused, and now I've seen it be reused
There's nothing new under the sun
There's nothing new that'll ever be begun
I've seen poor and I've seen wealth
I've seen heaven and I've seen hell
Nine hundred and thirty years and I've seen it all

Never been one to challenge God but how bad could this all really get?
I never said he was a slave master, but if the shoe fits, well then it fits
And I was struggling to find out what wisdom, was what wisdom was
Now the only way to find out is do the opposite of what wisdom does
But then that means I am stupid and there's no more thoughtful thoughts for me
Now see have you figured it out I created the world's first contradicting plea?
Oh God save my wicked
But let me die pleasured and full

I made an awful mistake
I am the reason the world aches
I didn't even gain wisdom
But I lost a kingdom
Now my child has been killed
Because I wanted my belly filled
The world will remember me
Today I day in infamy
I wanted the world
Everything that I desire
Now burns in a fire
Every night I scream for mercy
In the garden He used to walk with me
Walk with me
(God please walk with me, if only one more time)

My parents they raised me to
Love God with everything
And to sing when I could
Because life ain't always good
But everyday when I work with my cattle
I sing away Satan's rattle
But he still comes everyday
Trying to tempt my faith away
Running through the trees
Shivering with the breeze
Fond memories
And this simple soliloquy

Abel, Pt. II

The sky turns red in the midday
My head now matched the skies display
One last time I'll smell these fields
And then I'll dwell within their yields
I taste the blood within my mouth
There is too much to spit it out
I feel the blood pulsing out
This is the end without a doubt
His heavy breath all I can hear
He drops the stone onto my ear
Before my heart does collapse
Hate becomes my final act

Abel, Pt. III

Who would have thought that I would be dead?
Laying in a field with a stone in my head
O brother I gave God the best that I could offer
But you leaft me dead on the ground with worms fodder
My blood cries out as it curdles in the sun
What is this thing, o this thing that you've begun?
Where is God's vengeance? Where is my blood for blood?
God give me justice as I settle with the mud
The fourth person to live and the second one to be born
I tried my best to follow the Lord
When I count the numbers I'm the fourth to worship You
But this is what I get I'm the first to die, the first to conclude
But what do I care they say I'm in a better place?
But in that time between heaven and hell all I see is my brother's face
Hope I can forgive him before I reach the pearly gates
Or I may not enter because my soul is full of hate
Well can you sin when you're already dead?
Visions of murder clouding every thread
Of the new robes that the Lord has given me
I tainted perfection when she ate from the tree
As I glance at God I fall to my knees
With all my hate He still covers with mercies
He whispers in my ear, "O son I love Cain to,
And if that's good enough for Me it's good enough for you."
If it's good enough for God it's good enough for me
(Who am I to say otherwise?)

Without God what are you?
Without you what is God?

I am my brother's keeper
Though I tried to deny it
When life left his bones
I just stared at the stained stone
God does he hate me?
I've gone where no one has been
All the while redemption's smeared on my skin
Oh God does he hate me?

Cain, Pt. III

Every night I awake to hear my brother's failing lung
Every night I awake to taste the blood and dust on my tongue
Every night I awake I smell the scent of rotting flesh
Every night I awake to see life turning to death
God is this justice?
Or just merciless pain?
My life is like a desert,
You'd never bless with rain
If this is righteousness I'd hate to see Your vengeance
If this is mercy I would hate to see the condemned
Every time I run I'm always stuck within Your gaze
You bless with a cursed mark and call it grace
Well I believe in consequence but how could beauty torture so?
I'm stuck in a battle with a sword that has gone dull
God is this beauty?
Is this Your master plan?
Is this what love is,
Forever being damned?
If this is righteousness I'd hate to see your vengeance
If this is glory I would hate to see the condemned
I don't really know who You are anymore
Are these the actions of a loving Lord?
I don't really know who You are anymore
But maybe I never really did

I'm here and I'm knocking
You're afraid of your own mistakes
But I love you anyway
Don't you know that debt must be paid
I love you anyway
I'm here and I'm knocking
Smearing salvation in blood and sweat
But I love you anyway
Don't you know that I can forget
I love you anyway
I'm here and I'm knocking
You spit in My eye and bruised My face
But I love you anyway
You killed Abel and you killed Grace
And I love you anyway
I'm here and I'm knocking
Darkness the kind that you can feel
But I Am the Light that heals

Micah McCaw Medford, Oregon
McCaw's third album releases 11/4/2022. "A Beautiful Divorce" is about how the American Evangelical Church needs to divorce their patriotism from their faith and put love of people and the teachings of Christ above political parties.
