Tread Lightly (in Your Ways)
A life without a reason
Is like a songbird without sound
And unless I am told plainly
How surely I’ll run aground
The sun never rises
Seasons never change or go around
And you realize hopelessly
That your life is not profound
Eternity will move on without you
Whether you live or die
But there is only one hope
Heaven or Hellfire, you’ll decide
The cold hard truth leaves some abandoned
Few others take it well
But it would seem as most “Christians”
Don’t believe in a place called Hell
They ask me to preach sunshine
With a stormcloud overhead
For it would seem few can cope with
The fear of brimstone, dread
Not many will survive it,
The worldly onslaught coming fast
Though some think it in their present,
Their “faith” is a thing of the past
You, o reader, take care here
That you don’t fall to the same demise
For it fells more in my sight
Than any faith seems to rise
Insincerity kills trust,
I’ve seen it all my days
So take care, o friend of mine
That you tread lightly in your ways
