AWAY

 

HAVING TO BE
ON A RESPIRATOR FOR THREE
DAYS
HAS A WAY
OF CHANGING YOUR LIFE
IF YOU LET IT.
MY MIND WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE,
SILENTLY WANDERING
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THIS WORLD.
I DON'T REMEMBER,
BUT I KNOW THAT I WAS THERE.
TRAVELING AROUND THE GLOBE,
WALKING IN EXOTIC PLACES,
AWAY FROM MY HOME,
TELLING ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN
ALL ABOUT THE MAJESTY WE CALL LORD.
FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF MY BRAVE ANCESTORS
WHO LEFT THE COMFORTS
TO SPREAD THE WORD.
OH,
IF I COULD JUST GO.
IF I WASN'T SO SCARED AND FRAGILE,
AFRAID OF BEING ALONE.
WALK THE SACRED PATHS,
PROCLAIM GOD'S LOVE AND SACRIFICE
THROUGHOUT HIS UNIVERSE.
