Question

what would we do

if we all had just one more chance

to rectify those problems

we have ignored, perpetuated,

or left behind

for someone else to fix

by the edge of the water  

we gather   

to carry forth thru our collective burdens,

worries and concerns we all share

do you believe that we all must carry

the cross which we have created in our lives

Lifted by the burdens which we have endured

do you believe?

for the creator has paid in full 

the sacrifice and shown us by example

surely the way is clear

we suffer, struggle, falter  

fall and rise again

the toils  the trials and tribulations

which define our character

and we endure the troubles we all share

can you see in the world that surrounds us

the people with whom we share existence

although we may differ in belief

we are all fed from the same source

(do you believe)
