**this song will be on YouTube next month** locks of flesh and bars of bone in these bodies we're alone holding on for all we're worth in this prison made of earth why is it that we so love this foolish thing that's just a glove? why is it that we despise the spirit in us that is wise? we fight and clamour for this cell trapped inside a wishing well - we wish for wealth we can abuse having jewelry, clothes and shoes we wish for mansions, yachts and things we wish to fly, but don't have wings we flip through magazines and books how we envy other's looks! tho they're beautiful and bold the eyes are windows of the soul look inside, it's just a shell just another wishing well --- Jesus looks upon the heart the spirit in us has a part is Bible reading in your plan? do you feed your Spirit Man? do you have a nagging fear? do you listen with your ears? or do you try to just dispell the angst inside the wishing well --- you disregard the hole inside and all it is is foolish pride we don't know, we disagree we may have eyes but cannot see we may have "fun" but it's an act we're just deceived, and that's a fact those who are blind will find it's hell down inside the WISHING WELL soulsurvivor written 2009 rewrite 5/20/2015
