Belief

You know you’ve had your way,
Of grace and love to date.
But all you ever knew,
Will know just fade away.
Can you cap it off,
Can you find a way to stay?
You know you never had,
A finely crafted way.

And don’t you crawl
That smile won’t hide the shame
You learned your lines instead.
Your feckless singing out will never make a change.
And you know belief’s a start
But you can’t write new limits,
So you feel it instead.

Lord, please look the other way,
I can’t seem to find a place
Where we can both stand higher
I can’t hear all you say,
It’s easier than speaking down.

That smile won’t hide the shame
You learned your lines instead.
Your feckless singing out will never make a change.
And you know belief’s a start
But you can’t write new limits,
So you feel it instead.

And everything will change you know it,
Right from the start.
And even if we make it up dear,
We will feel it instead
So lord, please look the other way,
I still can’t seem to find a place
Where we can both stand higher.
