Principles
They drag me along down side canals
By my hair I come
Left alone I spiral down
Grace has seen me through
Longing for my own pleasure
To come and I go as I wish
Until grabbed in a grip
Leave me be so success won't fail
But one little whisper
And all is undone
Plunged into the furnace of life
Out the other side a hollow husk
Matted
Ready to be burnished along the road
In the end I may shine
In the very end
I didn't know where I was going to begin with
