Tag: brother Jesus

Been alive now long enough
To gain perspective
Bout who is owed and who has earned and so
Been saved from out the pit
Just to end back up in it
Learning more and more

I’ve played more roles now than it’s safe to mention here.
Not a one was ever wild and free
It takes much less to buy em
Than to tend and to tide em
It seems to me.

The pressure’s off now that I’ve
Been enlightened
For brother’s yoke is easy and its light
I’m following his lead
In heart, in word and deed
In day or night.

Revealed beneath the layers are those layers
Neglected, pushed aside, and made to wait.
No wonder they’re upset.
No wonder they object
And sleep unsoundly outside the gate
