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, ...)
