Change of path and destiny
Here we are again,
It used to always seem the same
Nothing ever changed
Not now, my how things have changed
I can’t stop what you’ve determined yourself to be
Trial after trial we have faced
Yet here we stand again
Face to face
A road we started together
We ended quite separate before joining again
Here we are again,
Standing at those cross roads
In another time and place
We’d pick up our packs and race again
Not this time though
Who would have ever thought?
Instead of standing next to me
As it once would be
Here we are again
Only you’re opposing me
You made a choice a few roads back
Though thick and thin we’ve raced
Hand in hand through these paths we flew
Until something changed in you and me
I had your back and you had mine
Yet here we stand with your riffle pointed at me
Is this what you do to your friend?
Your family, your destiny
A few paths back I began to see
You didn’t really change so much as me.
Your path our path became clear to me
Your choices was greed and envy
You thought you needed power over me
You thought you could enforce your new ideas on me
How many times must I say?
You can’t depend on me
Not this time, not this way it will never be.
I will not follow you; I will not bow down to you
I will not sacrifice my soul for you.
Not this time not any more.
You see I’ve started to change, you gave me no choice
So now I really see.
I see how you’ve lied and brain washed me
I see how your need for power has grown substantially
I see you never really wanted or loved me
I see you wanted my gifts my abilities
You thought you could trick me, brain wash me
To believe that you’re the answer I’d been seeking
For a while that’s exactly what you achieved.
Before I began to see the light you kept hidden from me
In all your efforts all you achieved
Was shining that light on the darkest motives
I’d ever seen.
You call yourself my friend, my family, my teacher, my leader
But really all you’ve ever truly been
Is a character made up long ago in a distant history?
You may live in someone I’ve always known but your still make believe
That light you tried so hard to hide its shinning bright as can be
I tried so hard to believe your rules your ways your random selections
Of just who was truly worthy
For years and years I followed you
Running to you every single time I felt weak
I prayed and begged you for years to be allowed to walk with thee
When the prayer was answered I truly believed
How stupid you must have thought I was to believe
Coming to you for all my worries and my woes.
Just for you to say keep trying there is more and more you must do
I walked your path for years and years I walked with you
Until the blindfold was removed.
So here we stand again
At another crossroad you wish me to take
Only this time things are different
This time I see that love I thought you gave me
Was a gun and bullet aimed straight at me
I’ll do what you want you think if you frighten me
With death and hell and things unthinkable that you’ll make sure gets done to me
If I don’t follow you on your path of rampage for power
This time and for all times to come I’ll refuse you
I denounce your make believe
The hold you once had on me is broken for the entire world to see
Never again will I walk down a path of inequality
Never again will I bow to make believe
Never again will you convince me to walk a path
A Path paved with murder, greed, and depravity
You can hold a gun on me you can torture me
You can kill me you can do what you wish to me
But you will never have me again not as your friend or your family,
I’ll walk my path and you walk yours and maybe someday
Your path will bring you back to me
Maybe then you’ll see all this time you’ve been following
You could have been leading with me.
But for now go on believe what you want to believe
Because I’ll be out there working longer and harder then you
To right the wrongs I helped you do
For the next time you meet me
I’ll be all the things you aspire to be without the pain and misery
Without the judgments, or greed, without prejudice
Without make believe,
You’ll see everything I was always intended to be
You’ll see what you thought you were compared to the reality of me
Maybe then you’ll see it don’t take hate to create
Only love can truly create
And when you look inside my eyes you’ll see that love shinning back at thee
For though you think I judge thee
Your wrong how could I judge something filled with make believe?
It’s not my place to judge your path your believe or your dream
I can only tell you what works for me.
And I found love is always the key!
