Lenient
The song the lawyer sang
Our nation's wrong
Well how can that be fair at all
Repented changed
Aware where I have wronged
Unfound corrupt
This song the jailer sings
My time has run
Sound the victim's song
The trial is gone
The trial goes on
A gilded wreath on reason
The flower crushed conceives
A child of fragrance so much clearer
In legacy
Everybody needs someone to live by
Rage on omnipotent
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself
Of mind
Sheltered broken
Denied gifted stolen
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
When it gets my heart out
Nature's son
Don't you know where life has gone
Burying progress in the clouds
How we learn to linger on
Head in sand
Expecting the dour to redress
Ascension in incentive end
Nature's son
Don't you know how life goes on
Desperately befriending the crowd
To incessantly drive on
Dress in gold's surrendering gown
Heaven bless you in your calm
My gentle friend
Heaven bless you
Tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
Is it worth so much when you taste it
Enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
A time to sell yourself
A time for passing
Spirit
How long
Create upon my breath
Create reflection on my flesh
The wealth of love
Bear me a witness to the years
Take my freedom
Create upon my flesh
Create a home within my head
Take my freedom for giving me a sacred love
