Knockin On Heavens Door

through the pain of life and with the added splash
 we must run the race we are given
 not any one stop shopping event at your local seven eleven
 drift through the forces with all there voices
 faced with many choices yet we push on
 living on the edge and its going to my head
 sitting up at night all alone in bed
 following a rainbow to the sky
 i see a vision of you pass me by
 still we have to learn another choice that burns
 from deeper within its plausible quest for all of life is a test
 there are road blocks far to extreme
 living in a land that's so very mean
 we must all come together to treasure
 look not at the weather
 our eyes need to be fixed on the very next switch
 getting caught up in the variable mix
 it just keeps going and faces are showing
 its not in the no but in the very knowing
 one step at a time and you will climb
 stay clear away from the false signs
 got yourself in a bind
 blind leaders of the blind
 in a grand illusion
 what is the solution
 to reach that place called heaven's door
 lest I implore something more
