Had a little talk with god um
He said don’t mumble, you’ll be fine son
I asked how long will it be
How long does it take
For me to see what I should be
I said I’m starting to get tired from all this running around
Then he laughed at me, asked, why not write that down
If you like to read, then write, that darkness will be a place for your light
And never fear your always asking why
Realize its not a curse, it’s a door you walk through to your greatest high
Looking to the sky I no longer wonder
What am I for, where do I go, turns out these answers, I don’t need to know
Just love, just fight, struggle to define your wrong from right
Know that love is not a feeling it’s something you give
Not a right, but a privalage, lucky to give once for as long as you live
So I finally know who this is staring back at me
Who yet still somehow judges what he cannot see
A friend in need someone who battles his greed
Your greatest hopes your worst desires
He’s not like me he doesn’t tire
Of this, this endless list, demons and angels all in a row
Which is which, he doesn’t seem know
Looking to the sky I no longer wonder
What am I for, where do I go, turns out these answers, I don’t need to know
Just love, just fight, struggle to define your wrong from right
Know that love is not a feeling it’s something you give
Not a right, but a privalage, lucky to give once for as long as you live
So I finally know why I have a shadow
Always keeps me wondering what I have yet to show
Use to hate the questions will I be free
A tiger eating its tale endlessley
But now it is that I finally see the questions are the answer to who I will be
Gotta box my shadow gotta keep on the fight
It’s how I change it’s how I know wrong from right
Looking to the sky I no longer wonder
What am I for, where do I go, turns out these answers I don’t need to know
Just love, just fight, struggle to define your wrong from right
Know that love is not a feeling it’s something you give
Not a right, but a privalage, lucky to give once for as long as you live
“that darkness will be a place for your light” – wonderful line.
And wonderful poem. Very deep and very tall.
