Tune to Love
Come inside, sit down a while
Rest your ancient bones in style
Call the housemaid, have a drink
Before the walls begin to shrink
Around you, as you fail and fall
Men of power, men so small
Dripping tongues, wordy styles
Take you down with toothy smiles
Quivering muscles, plumped with gold
Features lost to flesh grown old
Inside the mind of madness move
Untended thoughts, a different groove
Judge and jury, hired guns
They point their fingers as they lunge
Toward punishment for crimes committed
Less than perfect plans, dimwitted
Lost in shuffles, forms and money
Gods to whom you pray, so funny
How to move the demons now
Without a plan, a prayer, a vow
Turn the camera, face the lens
Forget the faces of your friends
Tune to Love, that fearsome foe
Who’s scared you all your life, you know
You can’t survive this storyline
You’ll have to leave it home with time
When Death does come and end your show
The world might then begin to know
Forgiveness as it reaps the gifts
From those who sail so far adrift
From status quo, long beaten paths
Conjuring unruly wrath
You’re strong enough to ride the wave
Even lost, alone, depraved
Perhaps you know, deep down inside
You wear your shackles steeped in pride
