Soul searching
by Walter Jones (Age: 63)
copyright 01-11-2004


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Nothing is free, even salvation has a price
Silver letters on a plaque
blood stained dreams
an't no lookin back

Salvage a nightmare
words written in que
an't nobody dream'n
were just look'n for you

Stand alone on the platform
tell your song to the crowd
just look'n for heaven
face to the ground

Heard my daddy say'n
don't nobody win
if your look'n for forgiven
then you must except the sin

saw the pastor
look'n heaven bound
knew he was scream'n
hell and fire go in down

Children talk'n to gold
old man say'n it is time to go
water a float'n body soft
baptism of the reborn soul

Saw the silver letters
shining black on black
if your preach'n redemsion
just an't no look'n back

Muddy water can lift a body high
you don't know who you are
if you never try
blood stained dreams

Fire floating in the sky
floods left a rainbow
even God can cry

Man he has been here
left his mark upon ground
listen to the pain
even children will drown

Flesh is the day
Burning morn'n sun
all of us marching
to the sound of the gun

Cross planted on hill
just a few drops of blood
outcome of the kill
water tastes like wine

Child of salvation borne
its Christmas time

If everybody is so set on saying this sounds like an old gospel hymn, I wish they had songs like this in the churches I've been to! This poem is shockingly blunt and honest. It gives a cynical kind of approach to what everybody believes is easily won salvation and freedom. Or maybe I'm totally misunderstanding the poem... (which I might add happens quite a lot... >.<). Wonderful write!

Like a gospel hymn but should it not be forgiveness
