I used to go along...
..... my way
Picking up all...... the...lost...causes ...
...I could find !
But it seems I'm just..
..... wasting time
Both yours and.....
..... sadly mine
I try to find all the good
I try fixing what's has been broke
But I have never understood... how
How the sadness reaches down so deep
And just seems to have no end
I end up with so much that I cannot keep
All those who just will never bend...
..yet have nothing
That they will ever need ...to defend
But they too often seem to fight
A hopeless war against the light
For in darkness it must be found
That problems seen cannot make a sound
But me! ...I must be a damaged soul
For I can see and I hear and I feel
What the dark..ness can..not hide
What the truth is destined to reveal
If the ones who so simply toss aside
The lost causes that they cannot hide
..away from.. could only come to see
That it's not as big as it might be ...If we
.....could only hold them up... to the cleansing light
Just like a glass prism and see the fact ...that's
.....right there... for all ..who will accept as truth
That it's just a lot of reflections all piled
... into a mass of energy going to waste
If not used... to show
... that what's there to be faced
Is nothing but... a rainbow in disguise
Stare too long at what is one ..it hurts the eyes
So if its understood that just like that prism glass
As clear as air and ...
... all the time just as easy to see through
Broken down into individual rays
They shine
In so many different ways
And then if we could all begin
To take an individual color band
Into our hearts and in our hand
We will find a world where sadness fights
To be a cause and a course that might
Be worth seeing
Worth hearing.. worth showing
By knowing .....that all lost causes were only lost
Because they were so often tossed ...at so high a cost....
Into darkness !
So it really ain't no big surprise
To actually open up our eyes
And see the truth and then to re..alize
That darkness ....Is where
The truth goes ....and where... it always dies !
