10,000 Days<\/b><\/p>\n
Listen to the tales and romanticize,
\nHow we follow the path of the hero<\/p>\n
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
\nHow we rise to the height of our halo.<\/p>\n
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
\nOur way into the arms of the savior
\nFeigning all the trials and the tribulations, <\/p>\n
None of us have actually been there,
\nNot like you… <\/p>\n
Ignorant flippants in the congregation
\nGather around spewing sympathy,
\nSpare me…<\/p>\n
None of them can even hold a candle up to you,
\nBlinded by choices hypocrites won’t see<\/p>\n
But enough about the collective Judas
\nWho could deny you were the one who illuminated
\nyour little piece of the divine<\/p>\n
This little light of mine, a gift you passed onto me,
\nI’m gonna let it shine,
\nto guide you safely on your way <\/p>\n
Your way home…<\/p>\n
Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
\nwithout you to guide them all to Zion?
\nWhat are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
\nother than tremble incessantly?<\/p>\n
High is the way
\nbut our eyes are upon the ground.
\nYou are the light and the way
\nThey’ll only read about<\/p>\n
I only pray heaven knows
\nWhen to lift you out<\/p>\n
10000 days in the fire is long enough.
\nYou’re going home…<\/p>\n
You’re the only one who can hold your head up high,
\nShake your fist at the gates saying,
\n“I have come home now!<\/p>\n
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
\nTell them their pillar of faith has ascended.<\/p>\n
It’s time now!
\nMy time now!
\nGive me my
\nGive me my wings!”
\n“Give me my wings!”<\/p>\n
You are the light, the way, that they will only read about<\/p>\n
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
\nBurden of proof tossed upon non-believers.
\nYou were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
\nJudith Marie, unconditional one.<\/p>\n
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
\nDifficult to see you in this light.
\nPlease forgive this bold suggestion:
\nShould you see your maker’s face tonight
\nLook him in the eye
\nLook him in the eye and tell him
\nI never lived a lie, never took a life,
\nBut surely saved one
\nHallelujah,
\nIt’s time for you to bring me home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
