Black Boots

I look down at my black boots I wonder how far they would take me Would they last from coast to coast Would they break before I do I look at my hands Are they too small To hold you right To move the world I look at my life Is it too empty To be filled I look I see I breath But sometimes I wonder Sometimes I want to wander Far away Never had a home Never felt safe Never stopped crying on the inside Never stopped lauging on the outside I wonder if they like my paper Mache smile But I really don't care I want to sing and dance Hold on to the romance Let my heart my heart take me away Feel my feet lose the ground The wind caress my body You caress my soul In the end I lose but along the way I win Opposition my best friend A state of saddness mingling with my grace An honest gentle smile take the place of fabrication Meditation Sophistication All things melt away leaving only truth I realize my love is real My soul is bleeding My flesh tattered and torn My roses all have thorns that prick my fingers But I breath their essence anyway Pleasure Pain Sorrow Peace I wear it all like joseph's coat of many colors In all its monochrome The colors bleed to gray Another day We is the state I want to be in Us is the journey I want to take Be my student Be my teacher I droped my bag at the state line Left those memories behind Travelled a long way But never got away Running scared Straight into my fears Life is made of sand I look at my hands Are they too small Doors open Sunlight streams in Kissing my skin Soft feathers that tickle my senses Wipe away your tears Wipe away your fears Stand on me Let me follow Let me lead Falling down Getting up Life is all about the road Those yellow lines Painted in a mix of blood and bitter tears Paved with hardened fears Cast away dreams litter the ditch I pick them up Whose little boy lost this truck Whose little girl misses this doll We are all sons and daughters We are all orphans Alone Together In a world that just can't forgive Sins never commited We are good enough We are strong enough To walk away But can we hang on Does it hurt too much Does it feel too good I don't know But I want to find out Walk with me Lets see the world Look away Look for something Tare down reality Lets build something new Something better Than just me and you Two heart beating in rythem Makeing a beat Singing a song of life Can we change it all No But I would like to try I look at my black boots I wonder if they will take me to you Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 20 2001 05:24 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
