Amen

sorenbarrett

If I could do it all again,

Would I be able to say amen?

And if I did, how long would it be,

Before a blemish I did see?

 

Out of reach, parched with thirst, a water bucket swings between heaven and hell

Right or wrong, better or worst, desire and disappointment fill a bottomless well

 

In the blurr of eternity,

I can't see reality

A binary system leads to blame

In times plane, no values, no shame

 

In a battle between fear and valor, the victor carries a heavy load

At times too hard, we loose our footing and take the dark road

 

My balence lost

Guilt the cost

Memory's regrets

A jostled hornets nest

 

With his tools from birth and time on earth, each man does the best he can

Faults are found, on trodden ground, after his race is ran

 

God or devil is the test,

Both imprisoned in my chest

As I slide, down the hill of time

On this ride, speed increases as I decline

 

In the dance of dark and light

Will I stumble or hold on tight?

 

It's all a matter of timing with the tempo climbing

The secret is logic and emotions aligning

You can't dance a waltz to a tango

Flowers, planted in snow will never grow

 

The man that can see through eternities lies, no matter how wise

Will never be believed by society, but blamed for his impiety

 

With all this we must have the courage to stand

Totally naked before the eyes of the land

To extend to our neighbor a helping hand

And with all nature form an eternal band
