And Still We Do Not See
What is it we long for to strive yet not grasp
The teaming of images welling up from times past
Often this life we’ve been given such signs
To guide us our way through turbulent times
God is still with us as always we’ve known
He leads us our way down paths which he’s shown
And continue we wander from this life in the light
As if could determine wrong from the right
Why do we do this when not our desire
Forever our destiny grant substance to fire
Why when we see what life holds in store
Do we sit on our hands and do nothing more
A power within us to conquer the flame
Bury the ashes and will to sustain
How many more chances after this time
Is it weakness or strength which cobbles our minds
And when is it we change to what we must be
Re-write out lives to that which we see
Why when most everything is so easy to grasp
Are the things that we need are those we let past
