Recognition
It came down the wire, it came down the line
Rattled my body, settled in my spine
The power was sudden, came like a flash
Burned me all over, invisible rash
My mind wandered to heaven, it went
What was this force, from a god was it sent
Many months after, I woke from my rest
Pains in my body, my bones, in my chest
I thought long about the matter of fact
A certain time and place to be exact
Am I the one to have this put upon
Now that all of my family have gone
Will I take charge and find a brave new way
So I may live at the end of the day
