I wish I still believed in faith


but no one's childhood lasts forever

and now after a lifetime of regret


I wish I had a faith to believe....


ah what am I saying? I do I do

all liability is on us and we fail


to the degree we suffer by not

making our own choices....


stop praying to the imaginary god of your mind

and get down deep and dirty with the rest of us


we're all at the mercy of the unforgiving Source of Life

and not a single one of us is exempt

I wish I still believed in my delusions


but a truth has wiped them out

with the compassionate sweep of our shared reality...
