You do what you can
Your best to try and save
But with the little that is left
The Gov comes and takes it all away

He knows just what he wants
Sees all that you have
Well, bless my soul don't let go
Cause he wants even that

He'll twist and bend until you break
Or at least until you bruise
To top it off you have no say
What his bags of tricks preforms on you  

You work yourself to the bone
Day after grueling day
When the Gov comes along
And takes all away

After all you scrimp and save
Everything you save and scrimp
I'm not sure in the midst of this
It's what the Government

This I find
This I know
A lot in life
Comes and goes

Here one minute
Gone the next
Smack dab in it
Nothing left

Just when you
Get used to it
Disappears
Up and splits

Leave it all
Far behind
Sayonara
Till next time

This I know
This I find
Things come and go
A lot in life

take time out
to move around
try and find
what life's about
to move in faith
that of a child
the best of days
that you're allowed

take time out
to wow the crowd
there is still joy
to be found
all you need do
is to look around
change your mood
when in doubt

take time out
to hear the sounds
and the sights
that really count
with open eyes
and heart laid out
all this and more
when you take time out

I close my eyes for the last time
And take my final breath
My soul shoots straight up through the sky
With every ounce of strength that I have left

I turn around in the nick of time
To see my friends and family left bereft
A sad reminder of my life
As I turn and face what lays ahead

The loving pull that's guiding me
Leaving life's worries behind in its wake
In elation I find I can finally see
All that awaits me for Heaven's sake

Soon to be on bended knee
Eternity to sing and praise
My Lord, my God, my Loving King
As I arrive at Heaven's Gate

I'm welcomed in with open arms
Name written in the Book of Life
Reminded again, How Great Thou Art
Forever more, no constraints of time

With eternity set before me
I'll never cease to always find
God can't help but to love me
All because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ

here i am
a speck of sand
in a cloud of dust
blown on the wind

like many souls
that i know
back and forth
with little control

without a say
throughout the day
blown in haste
as we make our way

in a crowd
finding out
in a spin
losing count

specks of dust
chipped in rust
as old age settles
in on us

Bless their souls, out of control
Pray for the Prodigal
Lost their way straight out of the gate
How far down they don't even know

Caught up in this cruel captivating world
Making promises it never keeps
A place for the lost, heart, mind, and soul
With forever thoughts of being free

Once safe in the fold, now out on their own
With every direction a dead end
Living the life, they thought would be high
But how low can you go my friend

You get what you get in this live and let live
But take heed and be forewarned
By those who know the score that have been here before
Messengers sent from the Lord

Who desperately warn of things to come
In hopes that they'll see the light
And turn from the sin that is dragging them in
To the jaws of the serpent that bites

Lost in their way straight out of the gate
How far down they don't even know
God bless the souls that are out of control
Pray for the Prodigal

You won't see me
On bended knee
Bowing down
To any king

Without much thought
I play the part
Of resistance
On my Facebook

I cruise control
Tik Tok videos
Supply the need
For those to know

Once they peruse
My brand of truth
Then they too
Will lose some screws

I do my part
To boycott
Unless it's stores
I shop a lot

Stand strong, stay tuned
There's more to do
From the comfort of
My living room

I'll raise my fist
Beat my chest
After I've had lunch
But not before my nap

Because I play a part
Without much thought
Of resistance
On my Facebook
