The Gathering

My journey is long My path is so wide I've met many souls In which to confide I've seen many scenes I've done lots of stuff I've walked varied roads Both easy and tough I've soaked in the sun I've cried in the rain I've basked in some glory And ached in some pain I've trembled in fear And stood solid ground I've felt human love When it gathered around I fell to my knees At the thought of the end I raised my hands high To ask for amends I've broken the chains Of the bondage of life I sought education And married my wife I can't say I've never Looked back in regret But I keep looking forward To what happens next The world is a garden An orchard. A feild We must learn to love All the things that it yeilds One bad apple Doesn't spoil the bunch If it did, we wouldn't Have apples for lunch I have much to say To the world in my realm My mind is a maelstrom And I'm at the helm I think that there's more To this thing we call life Some have their fortune And others have strife But how would it be If we could exchange Could we handle their pleasures Could they handle our pains Life is an edict That's been handed down The poorest are humble The richest are clowns But they rule our world With their gold coated hands And expect us to live By their every demand With their hand in our pocket We're held by our throat They're asking us, "Now, Just how do you vote"? We have the right To choose who they say Will be voted in At the end of the day But where is the peace And where is the love Where is the life That we're dreaming of Alas poor Urich The future is here The day is approaching That we all must fear The inquest remains To determine our fate Let's hope it's not based On a world filled with hate Let's learn to live And let's learn to love So we can all gather In Heaven above Rockman :-)
