Created of earth, ash of ash, dust of dust, spirit forever.

My lord stopped today
My words just got in the way
Of all the feelings in my heart
Like the time that I said, I wish I were dead

He reminded me of how we drifted apart
In the silence of these words it was his love I heard
He simply said it is okay
We can stop and talk today

Children in the past I promised more than that
I held all the words I’ve said to view
He simply smiled and said I love you my child
Those are things I’d never hold you to

When the world was new, I first saw you
A special gift, I gave made all your skies blue
I knew the promises you would not be able to keep
Still from the pain, I granted you sleep

In your hands I trusted those who you’ve come to love
You know that I love them too
It will hard I know when it’s time for you to go
They’ve become so dependent on you

My hand will guide them along, now don’t you fret
It will not be that long and the world will grant you peace
I do understand you are a man faults don’t become you
So tall above the rest you truly have been blessed

There are times I am truly proud of you
Still there are days that should have been put away
I looked knowing you tried, knowing also that you also lied
Now just what am I to do with you

In all the prayers you say
I find you love me anyway
I know, you know that I love you
Inside, your heart beats strong

Now before I move along
I want you be the best you can
And do not fear, when you fail, I understand
For once upon this very earth

I too was a man
