Into One World

 

Courtesy

Just a few steps from here to there

A little walk to the chain of defense

The iron wrinkle

The rusted snake

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

It’s enough dirt and gunpowder

It’s enough blood and sick power

It’s enough loss and caution

Enough lost bargains and foul traps

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

We’ll play together in your home

I’ll cook you a meal in my attic

Forget the past, lets stop the fights

Lets pray together, lets just smile

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

Here I am

In the skyscraper of sins,

Here I am,

Smoking like a chimney.

In the downpour of doubts,

Here I am,

Living another mystery.

In the circus of nonsense,

Here I am,

Yawning away the ennui.

In the enigma of beliefs,

Here I am,

Burning down the blasphemy.

In the ocean of wisdom,

Here I am,

Erasing my own history.
