Soul's Cry
There he is, there he dwells; be ever wary of him.
Do not think that all is well; must not be conquered, by sin.
You must watch; truth be told; He is ever, watching you.
You may try, to be brave and bold; your family will also die too.
You may chance upon his tower; Man shall kneel, become forever humble.
And deeply suffer his awesome power; your tongue, your words, shall become a mumble.
You may dream, think, and wonder; Begin to ask brothers, why?
But these are men, can’t even ponder; the reason of a woman’s sigh.
Then I searched, pondered, and looked for; the answer, to let me break free.
Freedom; I crave, nothing for more; Then I was, I could see.
Then I knew that he must fall; He must be humbled, thrown off.
All have come, together in call; they were stern, none were soft.
Then we left, marching to tower; Men make ready, for the coming end.
Prepare to make him cower; all was still, grass didn’t bend.
There he was, yet meek, without care; anguished beyond any cry.
Dead yet alive, more than despair; His crown rolling on by.
Turned to me; quiet as night; Sad, angry all from sin.
Began to fade in the light; I cried, he was my only kin.
