this kid discovered something today.

he looks at the sun
he figures it all out
why can't we look at the sun he wonders
he knows now

our eyes are the window to our soul
but for who to see?
for them to see
for them who will judge us
where we exist will reflect us
what we do will be shown
our memories a record of our deed
they see when we hurt
they see when we give
they see when we care
they see when we grieve
but we can't look at the sun
because thats where they sit
proud and all knowing in their thrones
watching us
we the fish in the bowl
we shit and we feed in the same water
they don't want us to know they are there
they don't want to prove they exist
for if they do
it might just be too easy for us to comply
the true test is to have faith without seeing
oh my we cry
this actually means
do not bring us to the test may be a whisper
for who will deliver
us from evil when evil is within
oh my we cry
its our eyes
its our eyes
for if it is they who gave us vision
it is they who can truly see
no speech no heart can reason
with the guilt one bears on his tree
our denial can numb our heart
but our existence merely a conduit
for this story
this record of humanity
where the blind
the ignorant
the evil
against all odds
swimming in their own shit
ascended eventually.
the boy rushes within
he nourishes others
he cares
he gives
he makes mistakes
but he cares and he gives
and he shows he has a heart
of course there is guilt
there is regret
he cannot explain it other than
cares
gives
did he dare?
did he dare say
love?
and up there in their thrones
the divine all agreed
to this young scum
could they give way.

oh it is a sad sad life,
sing your sad song and make it better.
