Falling From the Tower
Propelled to new awareness
Old structure outgrown
A glimmer of light
As truth is known
Crumble the dead flower
Flashes of insight nag
Summoning change
Called to a higher challenge
Escape the old range
Falling from the tower
Higher will flows
Perceive how to run
Position of freedom
False perceptions overcome
Crumble the dead flower
Upset the status quo
Confront the truth
Drastic conditions arise
Matter changes its booth
Falling from the tower
Mind is opened
Self in true nature
Accept your position
Surrender to the stature
Crumble the dead flower
Solitude or imprisonment
Understand and transcend
Sudden, fitful inspiration
Squarely facing the end
Falling from the tower
There’s no escape
Raging emotions overwhelm
Rational thought of no use
Insight flashes from the helm
Crumble the dead flower
Made our own prison
Understand the new road
Accept who we are
Walls miraculously explode
Falling from the tower
We are suddenly freed
Lightning flash strikes
Fall into the unknown
Accept future’s spike
Crumble the dead flower
True price of freedom
Words are but signs
Language represents people
Communication changes time
Falling from the tower
Individual and collective
Embrace destruction of lies
Face to face with devastation
Resistance hurts and denies
Crumble the dead flower
Embrace unknown future
Self-realization abounds
Sacrifice personality
Revitalize Love’s sound
Falling from the tower
