Suffer a While
Eyes are sore
spent too much time
in the light I'm facing the Sun
reading of my plight all but I'm not surprised
my hands hurt
I dropped the ball in the dirt
and as I lay on a bed of roses Thorns
puncture my back and my voice is frozen
I have chosen
the leap of faith
in the dark while I am brace eating grapes
I contemplate
my faith
who am I to surmise
to surprise
who am I to cry
of the Innocents
in the night who am I to deprive the innocent
of the flight while on this time all this time I suffer a while
I put on a smile
I pretend I'm a child I'm open Pine
and wine out of a cry while
asking myself why I plunge I dive I fall on the ground
and on the rebound
once again I pray
help me out today
I'm up I'm down
I'm all around I Fallen
continually again over and over underground I fall down I must relate
I do not hate I hesitate as I cross the gates
where is the bridge that's how I found
I'm Homeward Bound I must have crown Homeward Bound
I've hurt myself I've nothing left left when the storms rages on communicable diseases Faith Healers it's treated misfortunate Captain plate procrastinate
in the kitchen eating blue grapes electricity and utilities have been turned off
I fell down the stairs oh well I guess I just lie here and suffer a while
