Introspect

When first we touch
Source of all, I see

Time arranged this dance for me
I'm shaken at first, am I not really free?
Stepping o'er the waters the hungry I will feed
But I am safer now in the hands of God
Than in the fists of man

While people are staring, tempers are flaring
Sharing the daring their fears have unleashed

My platform is falling, the hangmen are calling
With my death, they'll all sing while praising their king

As I walk, I feel so different now
And why are you all turning away?
Leaving me cold and alone this day, of all days
And why are you all turning away?
All turning away

Then he cried like no other man has cried before
But he knew that no other man has known, known more

You'll die a fool, my friend
You've brought us to what end?
What is the word you send?
Once, I held truths of life
Forged the steel, eased the strife
Earth, wind and sea, my wife

Sweat in my eyes, facing fears, casting out lies
Reaching for you
They, in my hands, last their grip, breaking the ties
Denying you
Child in the dark made his mark, caused my demise
Entering you

Many waves of confusion
Visiting my days
Restless as they linger
Binding me astray
