Spent my young years unhinged and carefree
A crazy man is not one to pacify
Thinking the clock will never break me
But who will be there, to answer my prayers as I die
Confessional is opened for penitent’s wails
Curtains lifted, the spectacle pays our bails
Raindrops in a pond
In face of death we paralyze
Then we theorize
What’s beyond
Our earthly bond
From which we’ll vaporize
But there exists a realm
Where life and death will compromise
It’s a paradise
As we search
For the forgiving eyes
Yeah! Their judgement’s upon me
I had those friends on which no honest man rely
As my last stand I fled this country
The weight is lifted along with the aircraft as I fly
Umbilical endearment can’t be sought from this land
Body’s weary, my aching knees bend
Raindrops in a pond
In face of death we paralyze
Then we theorize
What’s beyond
Our earthly bond
From which we’ll vaporize
But there exists a realm
Where life and death will compromise
It’s a paradise
As we search
For the forgiving eyes
There’s not a damn thing we own here, we just borrow
Oh Lord, detach me from here and take me away
Spellbound by lights and wonders that only you foreshow
Show me the way
And take me with you
Heavens ensue
Yes I’ve read all the scriptures
I’ve softened up my posture
All knees will bend
Forgive me
Forgive me
Will God bless
Regardless
Forgive me
Forgive me
Raindrops in a pond
In face of death we paralyze
Then we theorize
What’s beyond
Our earthly bond
From which we’ll vaporize
But there exists a realm
Where life and death will compromise
It’s a paradise
As we search
For the forgiving eyes
