| Dear God |
| A moment of your time is all that I request To share with you what�s in my heart Regretfully whether right or wrong It�s but what I know best Forgiveness from you I won�t require For the way I live my life I humbly appear before you now You know I am no liar I�ve chosen paths to live my life anew My heart tells me they are right There are people out there who seem to know the rules They tell me I�m losing you Forgiveness now I ask for me This soul belongs to you According the others round Back to you it will not be When the day of Armageddon Comes upon this earth I have removed my chance to see within the gates The place we all call heaven When I appear before your feet As you sit upon your throne You will be my judge of all I�ve done Not the others whom cast stones Again I say it�s forgiveness not I seek For the life I live upon the earth I do request you give me strength To continue on my path Twenty years ago I tried to end this life You told me �no�, continue on So here I am today still looking for the answer Will I ever know what for? The soul you gave me has been hidden deep within I took it out for air There were others who said they liked it And with them I tried to share I told them all the paths I choose And some don�t feel concerned But some recall the good book now And tell me I will fail what�s learned They could be right you see I�m not too sure So there is a chance that I will not meet All those that end up there For me you see, hell is where I�m bound I�ll go smiling to that place down far below For you will remain within my heart Forever I will remember you And the love you tried to share Your love I feel within my heart On earth with me here now To share it round with others I try But it seems to only fail If it's hell where I�m going Then your strength I now need To share the love you gave me Wherever there is need If you could do this for me I surely would be pleased I will share the love that�s hidden And let others in the world see This soul you just might lose I plan to stay my course Again forgive me Lord I feel I have no choice That�s all I have to say to you I know you understand I can�t follow the rules that others tell me The cost might be the Promised Land ~Jim Ferrell |
