Death is calling like the falling of the snow
Life is stalling, crawling as I go...
"Lord, pick me up and hear my cry
and wake me up before I die
Help me spread my wings and fly
before I say my last goodbye"
"The world, the world, the world is out to get me
and it's been trying to kill me since the day it first met me
I can rise above with love, if only you'll let me
You promised that you'd hold me and you'd never forget me"
"So please set me free from these shackles and chains
and ease these tears that fall like the rains
Deliver me from life's pleasures and pains
and let your voice...be all...that remains..."
"I tried to set the world on fire
but lit the match to my own pyre
Preaching, teaching...then reaching for desire
God, tell me that the world's a liar"
"Tell me that the time is near
Say you'll bring me far from here
Give words of courage in times of fear"
and then Christ whispered in my ear...
"Breathe, my child...look around for a minute
You are where I've placed you, though the world will try and spin it
You can't finish the race before you even begin it
If you can't change the world, then change yours...and those living in it..."
