LSD 18-19 November MMXI * for my son Teddy I used to own a castle in the air Assigned a mansion all alone up there By those who had it all figured out for One of many one without anyone None told me much beyond heaven or hell Nor what it might mean for me here between Though wanting because I was to do well Do good while I could before it was gone Given my soul was given taken up Inducted into spiritual war Myself given up for an empty cup On a shelf castled alone in the air When living for their then and there here now Is just to do what some church will allow Me and not do what they tell me not to Then one way only or else go to hell To live life disappointed as my due They make it clear they are not now not here Just being someone I must be somewhere Look in new places for a few faces Who used to own castles too in the air With traces of shadow light replaces When it is good then to be understood To be here and now and not then not there Not heaven not hell but meaning between Just being someone and being some more Nor where I remembered what I forgot Where it could not hold me since it was not But what I doubted out there In the air was in Myself without a doubt where I am here within I prayed God please believe in me But God said yes I do And how it is enough to be Now we know who is true And so we are a double star Where one is never two But two are always one so far As far as I can see And God said yes I do believe in me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
