Only one
|                       |
::

such a simple song

Drifts ( as we drift )

                                                   ••

Ain't gonna fight no more

You wanna win ?  ( you won ! )

//

Tired ( I am ) of Mass Stupidity

//

Softly Lost

In the       LOVE

that shades the streets from the Pain

That we impose

Upon eachother
in our shame

//

Strength

Lingers for awhile

But leaves

(Knowing it shall not be used again )

Our lives are but tenderness

Silhouetted in the darkening days

Of our abject surrender to our unworthiness

And our irresponsibilities



Strength


( to love anyway )

••

Here we are

We can

TELL ANY STORY THAT WE WANT !

We can

CREATE THE WORLD WORTHY OF OUR NAME !

"""""

Listen

all we hear are hungry children weeping

Why ?

( no one Speaks )

/////

Lost in the tenderness

The shadows and the streets

The MAN !

so simply

Gathers

Who so ever would go

And takes them HOME

again and again
