the heart of life


Momma she told me stories

Of a man that died

We wear our crosses

Like a shield against the world we love

But fear the same

I always knew I had all these choices

But one way signs at every crosswalk

Lead me to dead end signs

I wanted white horses

To ride into the night with

And now I see

What I could not back then

The truth is different for every man

And mine I underline and trace

In case I lose my way

I always lose my way

Sister sings a song to praise him

Friend she cries

She lost her face

And can not see the lines that separate

She stands upon the highway blind

i wear this wooden holy every now and then

it doesn't make me any better

sometimes I think I am

found and then I remember

I too stand out in the open unable to see the lines

Father soaked in water holy

He wants to bathe the world

The world wants to bathe in themselves

Every man for himself

So he places his water upon a shelf

I wanna reach the highest

I know not the heart of life

I have this hope its more than science

A man screams at the corner to an audience of silence

I hope theres more

Momma told me stories

about a man who died

I still remember

I still try

To love above all else………

Ill always hope for more for this stone cold earth

Sister songs a song to praise him

Full of beauty I wanna chase it

Incase I lose my way

Ill trace the words save for someday

i wanna reach the highest

I know not the heart of life

but i can try.
