Always asking, never knowing
Cautious keepers ever growing,
Never finding, always wrong,
Weak is weak and strong is strong
Always following along.
Stepping stones, they fly away,
Looking for a place to stay
Where days are nights
And knights are dazed,
Yellow jackets, green berets.
What a message to convey,
To live a life without and pray.
Pray for understanding senses,
Pray for fields without the fences,
Pray for peace and love and joy
And pounds and pounds and pounds in Troy.
Forget the life you know and love
And fix your eyes on Him above.
No matter what you think or feel,
Still serve the Lord with zest and zeal
And release your heart of steel.
You're strong enough this very day,
So come on down and don't delay,
Here's your chance to come and pray,
To hear the words he has to say
And end your daily dawn decay.
Forever feeding ephemeral flames
While freeing fears and knowing names
And never gathering the fame
We seek to find within the world
Instead of in our hearts.
