Paradox 1 When being now was sinful then For being original or Being different I was sent Away at last when out I went A goat then but a sheep no more When cast out from some garden of God oddly without any love For a doubt about what was done To one of many without doubt No doubt about it or get out 2 Seeing me being different Seeing one to wonder about No doubt about it I was one When original was a sin Cast out of the past like a star To fall like lightning through the sky Out past the limit of too far No doubt enlightening as I Found how to rise by falling when Down but around then up again 3 How on my way around I found Myself unbound by what had bound My mind to find it fall behind Reminding me again begin Now whenever never mind then Finding my being becoming Me to be going and coming Finding myself overcoming And understanding some who were Wondering about Lucifer 4 Tripping slipping through a rip in The fabric of society Down through the darkness in between Light all night to know what I mean So you do when I write to you Who understand me then somehow By light of day what I might find Descending transcendentally Out past the limit of to be Or not above all falling free 5 To fall and yet almost to fly The it to get is letting go And that was what was hard for me Not knowing then what I do now Getting it what I got to know A paradox ascending by Descending through why not to why Transcending to mean what I meant A falling star tattoo to mark Me in my arc across the dark 6 Past forgetting at last and yet Remembering out past regret Realizing myself I see No doubt about it I was one Who lost it all but falling won Down but around then up again Being original I win Realizing as I have been How falling all the way is to Rise surprising the way I do Steven Curtis Lance
