"Now or never not to wait forever for the pie"

Just Like Forever At church the minister was so sure as to shout it Far and near as maybe easier for God to hear Inside looking out I saw me outside looking in The condition though fatal not serious about A cure and though unsure there was no doubt about it Outside looking in I saw me inside looking out As to me enduring was to be doing it wrong Obsessed with sin there never knowing where to begin I never thought forever was so temporary As he made it appear to be or at least to me I thought right or wrong it was about a sermon long Forever in the negative was never to fear The freeing of the soul as the unbeing of me The measure of my wary fear of pleasure very Much the pain of never wanting to be hurt again Having to believe somehow I never had to leave Believing because I was afraid to be leaving Paradise my paradigm unfolding right along Or if not unfolding holding steady if frozen As a snowman slow to warm to cold reality Having learned early to fear change and innovation Having learned if I could not believe I would not be Or not be where I would be there I could be for all The days of always out of sight and out of my mind Left behind as guilty still though by insanity Whatever else it was an awkward situation The permeating pall of permanence I knew then So constantly strange to me the constancy of change To be one way one day another way and day when The time would come then for everything to change again Never or forever not so hot or not for me Reality not cold but realistic again If forever ever was I started to doubt it Let doubt about it all out let fall what I had known Or believed I had known as it were scales from my eyes As well as the part about us being the chosen As I began to realize I was not alone Began to realize how together we would rise Now or never not to wait forever for the pie Nor give life away to get a piece of it someday Cooling on the window sill of heaven in the sky I feel lonely for how it was before only now But now or never here we are for now you and me If we feel lonely now is only temporary Just like forever always was and always will be +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
