Heaven's Grace
Heaven's grace

Count back from 10
Leave your body behind
Get the surgery done
Out of sight, out of mind
If only we could heal
Our problems the same way
Cut them out with scalpels
Disposed of in medical waste
But life is complicated
More often than we realise
We can try to simplify it
But it's difficult with emotional ties
Being human takes its toll
That's why we die at the end
No one should live forever
The lessons are part of our journey
Everyone has their problems
No one is exempt from the tests
We only choose different paths
To learn and grow to be our best
Everyone has choices to make
No one else can do it for our souls
The triumphs and the losses
Are ultimately ours to hold
Maybe if we count back from 10
Breathe slowly and meditate
We'll find solutions in the ethers
And raise ourselves to Heaven's grace
