Testing Ground

Welcome home to Mother Earth
This is life not some rebirth
Can't spend my time awaiting something that may never come
Apathy, the thief of time;
I confess guilt of the crime
yet I refuse to act I place the blame on someone else

Sacrifice what I have,
fade to the past
or shall I take a stand
here in my world?

Fabric of my life unfolds,
must reach out and take a hold
I must prove a point
Can't watch the others pass me by
Gift of life or punishment?
Will I worship or resent?
Am I on a mission or is this what I deserve?

Cry insignificance
Surrender my life
or shall I take a stand
here in my world?

Should I ask the questions
of the things that I'm unsure
or should I take for granted
what I'm told to believe?
You must find out for yourself
There is no absolute
Belief is what you make it,
self-realized truth

Sacrifice what I have,
fade to the past
or shall I take a stand
here in my world?
