SONG FOR JEFFERS

1v-
why does the nite-time bring me fear
what do you have that brings me here
life was never bonded to be long
without the pain of doing wrong
i fight to understand your words enough
to fuse them into song
i walk on
i walk on strong

2v-
within the life of jesus christ
youll find the flaw that cant be priced
[ he was just a man ]
i read your mortems post ante
and then a hundred times again
i know how bertrand russell feels
i know the pain of using pen
and then a thousand times again

3v-
i know the long hard road to hell
i know the costly toll as well
ive used the courage gandhi used
ive suffered more than just abuse
thru strength of will i took a pen
and then i used it to transcend
i shape opinion for myself
i take compassion off the shelf
im rich in love and i share the wealth

4v-
the age of reasons come and gone
ill die like every man has done
i might rage against the dying light
into the darkness of the nite
your words have made me less alone
i wrote the spirit in the stone for you
the spirit in the stone
