My Hearts Desire
She is born with the sun enlightening upon her. Bathing her in glory
Revealing the strength that soon she would bear.
Although wounded and scarred she grows stronger, Steadfast in truth.
Her purity she proudly proclaims.
Alas as she Ages and becomes wrinkled, she begins to run. Frightened
she abandons her past,
Her true love then becomes dark thereby weakening her foundation
No longer does she stand, no longer does she shine, for she has changed ,
She has forsaken the purity of her first love.
Will she live or will she die, for she is a nation
And sin has misguided her into walking a path of lies
Whoring herself to destruction.
Change I plead, proclaim the just and pure
Destroy the folly and focus completely upon the glory that is thine.
Or die, oh nation, in darkness and mire
Utterly crumbling my true hearts desire
