Triggered

Triggered by the teachings of the cross 

 

Triggered by that which is lost 

 

To lose is the gain 

 

What have we won

 

Pleasure without pain

 

Simplicity gone

 

Triggered by a simpler time 

 

When the cross was born 

 

And community\'s thrived 

 

Where bread and dripping was meat 

 

And children played out in the street 

 

Where hardship found a happy home 

 

Where love was tough 

 

And no one groaned 

 

Triggered by the cost 

 

Of life 

 

Without the cross.
