Beyond Light

Lose or win, just keep pushing the tin Win or lose, all that matters in this life Is our ability to choose Because in a world full of boundaries and laws All that’s truly free is the human spirit For despite it’s many flaws If you listen you can still hear it And our heartbeat sounds out like thunder But the pounding speaks only to our woes For as much as we bury the pain asunder In quiet times it shows Lost is the growling of the lion Like a guardian at the door The flickering candle light that’s dying With no surprise for what’s in store And on a crowded city street Where all who pass tread on about No stranger will you meet And no one will hear you shout
