Oh it's timeout time my friend
Will you ever seek to be free
These chains will not break
For they hold one from below
That will not let one go
No matter the lies and deception 
The Prince of this world no longer has a key 
For the first thing we need to see
Is that you are a goat first
Stubborn mindless creatures
Running in all directions
Get down off that rock
With your head up high
Appearing as if your a shrine
In drunkenness of the worlds wine
Seeking guidance from the rising sun 
Turning your back to the temple
It's been a verdict 
The true light has come
But yet so many love the darkness
Lost following others in confusion
In hope another goat can explain
Why they are placed on the left side
Left outside the gate blaming others for hate
I took notice myself , I was a stubborn
Foolish , drunkard on world wine lies,
But I had to open the book of Life
Then God revealed my blindness
To what's going on around us
Being held captive in bondage 
Christ has the key to release the lock
To shed off that old lifestyle
To have direction and clarity
To become a part of His flock
To become a new creation of the sheep
Which trust their Shepherd's guidance
And hears His voice from among 
All the other false ones trying to mislead
Says nope I think I will just listen to this one
I can tell He knows for His words bring life
They have placed peace, joy and love within.
Seek Jesus in these times, one does
Not need others seeking glory from man
To teach one how to live for God
We have so many religions that come
From the same God separated into division
In the works of man to receive praise from man
To become in unity
We first have to see
One God, One Shepherd, One flock
Call upon Christ to resurrect His spirit
Within you to seek the mystery
Of the true knowledge and wisdom
In His word that gives life and clarity 

Love y'all I only write for love for one another, 
Don't take any of this as judgemental, for I was as bad as any
In not living for God, it's not within us until we seek and He 
Places the spirit within to purify and mold one.

I am going to put a song in comments from a great friend that was
Suicidal, then the day He was planning his death, Christ said
Will you give me a chance and he received new breath, he had to 
want to die before he could live
