The paths we take now seem to part
And our feet can naught but take the cue
We've come thus far both hand in hand
But feet and hand are both with one
...
The friend crossed his heart
The promise got broken
The builders built
The city's now in ruins
...
...The labour pains ceased
The new born shrieked
The shepherds bowed
And the angels sang
...
We had dared to hope...
We supported.
Campaign chants in the streets
...
When we hug ourselves and give in to wrenching sobs
It's not as though we imagine them in the depths of hell
When our red-rimmed eyes still pour out an ocean
It's not because they died too young to be great
...
I loved you so much I let you go
Or maybe I loved me too much to hold on
You'd planned our end before we began
And I feared my heart was too fragile
...
The smiley face in every closet
The sweetest voice in everyone's heart
The generous soul in every want
The presence there when you want him near.
...
Sweat beads the size of rocks
waist beads move in a flow
See her revibrate with zest
Her feet moving with the rest
...
Some are lowered in glasses made of wood
Arrayed in white and gold
As if they could take along those with them
Others in boxes of wood
...
