I only know in compassions tone Which way a statement falls And should I reach to those closest Forgive my limping as I escape And that I would be required Or cancelled along the tombs Is filled over and again I've nothing left to prove My eyes are aged And shadows I did see But the retreated light Succumbs to the gain The wisdom wasn't taller Catching blame as fodder While reviewing the two feet below

I only know in compassions tone Which way a statement falls And should I reach to those closest Forgive my limping as I escape And that I would be required Or cancelled along the tombs Is filled over and again I've nothing left to prove My eyes are aged And shadows I did see But the retreated light Succumbs to the gain The wisdom wasn't taller Catching blame as fodder While reviewing the two feet below
