I thought it was important--

I thought it mattered whether right mattered--

I thought I'd add my voice to our choice

and through the years--here and there--

I found a few who agreed

and we acknowledged to each other we agreed--

and as we parted we thought it important

that we acknowledged the choice of right--

and through the years this convention

wore as thin as the edge of a collar--

right and wrong indistinguishable--

I thought I'd remove my voice from the clamor--

I thought vows mattered only when they mattered--

I thought it was no longer important
