Mind Had Been Walking Plank
Remember when mind had been a blank;
And caused problems when walking plank;
God calling;
Started falling
Did end up in deep water and then sank.

His mates made old Barney walk the plank
They had, for a long time, told him he stank
For bathe he would not
Or pee in the pot
But it was his feet that were just too rank

I was prepared to walk off the plank
I hadn't realized my heart already sank

The Plank
Look at the Horizon glow
Look out down below
The clear blue sea
The sharks are hungry...
Only four more feet
Then punishment complete
Pausing to catch my breath
Before the final step...death...
Look at the Horizon glow
Look out down below
The clear blue sea
Is swallowing me...

How can it be that you're
trying to tell me that
I am not seeing
what you're saying?
You should really think twice
before giving your advice
because your own situation
is displaying!
Now if you're going to tell me
the way you see things should be,
that's fine, but you know,
just before you try-
this tiny speck of dust
that's making me blink-
can't compare to that
"plank in YOUR eye!"
Now it has been said
that a speck in the eye
will cause one to see three worlds!-
but the more that I blink,
yes.... it is going away,
and a clearer vision unfurls!
With the good intentions,
I know that you have,
I offer this for you to try-
you will see much more clearly,
quite frankly.... and sincerely,
when you remove that
"plank in YOUR eye!"
