Walk away

What if I just walked away

Away from all the pain

Turned the other cheek

Flushed the whiskey down the drain

Walked straight into the light

What would happen then

No more fights

No more just giving in

What if I just stopped

And told you the gods honest truth

That real life is truly fair

And that we've all been abused

That the sunlight of the spirit

Can be felt even by the blind

That the truth can be heard

Even by the deaf

That there's always someone there

Who can recall

Each and ever time you took a fall

And that it will all be paid back in full

What if I told you that your excuses

Only ever end up in nooses

Be through with them

This is your time to shine

What if I said you were meant for something more

Than you'd ever thought you'd become

Wouldn't that change things for good?

What if I said I'm looking for something

That money cannot buy

Because it seems everything good has a price

But be careful with things that seem one way

Cause they may be the next

Next greatest thing for God to use to test

To test you and see if you are true

Yes it's you he is molding

All the while the truths unfolding

What if I told you that I believe in Jesus

Would you put me in the corner

Til I told a lie that pleases

Would you exclude me in the choices

Would you hammer me down

Maybe I'm not the only one who goes dark

Maybe what goes really comes back around

What if I told you one day I'd talk to Moses

And David and Job

And hear their stories and how gods light shone through their souls

What if I told you many folks care for me

To the point where they'd not flinch to bleed

To meet a need for me

What if I also told you some of them forget

They are blinded by lies they've secretly kept

And what if I told you they're gonna make

Mistakes

And you may be the mark

So be careful who you judge

Else your headed for the deep end

Where the sharks live and demons come

Out to play

Lord have mercy let me never see that day

What if I told you everyone gets a shot

A shot at anything that means a damn thing

Equally

By the time it's all said and done

There will be peace that rests

Until then keep your chin up

And do your best

You'll rise above and pass the test

Pass all the rest as you fly on by

Those tears you cry will dry in time

But the love will never end

What if I told you that you'll never end either

Maybe you'd say id been huffing the ether

Whatever your sick mind comes up with

Holds no more worth than dust

Maybe the lies will rot and rust

But what will stay

That's what I'm in search of today

What will be open and honest and true

Find me a knot one cannot undo

What if one day I turned and never looked back

Would they all say then that I was on track?
