Can’t Begin to Say

Written January 2005

Tab

you can try to guess what the day will bring,
spend your life obsessively wondering
if maybe there’s a reason for everything? I can’t begin to say..
or you could put your hope in a pretty face
to cover what you lost in another place,
& maybe we’ll discover some new mistakes? that’ll be the day,
+++ I can’t begin to say why we keep falling all along the way,
+++ maybe we’ll escape our higher calling? not without a chase,
+++++ but what if the winds of heaven blow through this world we live in?
+++++ and if you could be forgiven, would you hesitate?

you can shake a fist at your angry world,
swear that you have missed what you so deserved,
maybe what we get isn’t what we’ve earned? I can’t only pray..
+++ I can’t begin to say why we’re still falling all along the way,
+++ maybe we’ll escape our higher calling? Not without a chase,
+++ I can’t begin, I can’t begin, I can’t begin to say..
+++++ but what if the winds of heaven blow through this world we live in?
+++++ and if you could be forgiven, would you hesitate? would you hesitate?
