Blessings

Shine down a ray of hope, to vigil over me
Speaking words as they come
My heart knows what to say

Listen, I beg of you, before time slips away

Who's to say they're right or wrong
It's just something we must face
When ignorance fuels the firestorm
Giving guilt someone to blame

Listen, I beg of you, before time slips away
Free them and spare all of my pain

Take what you want from me
I'll die to set others free
But I know what your intentions hold
You'll be the death of hope

I laugh inside, you clip my wings
I sit and count my blessings
Cure in hand, you watch me bleed
As I close my eyes in eternal sleep

Into the ground they lower me
I pray someday you'll learn
That evil stalks our immunities
And pleasure bears a curse

Listen, I beg of you, before time slips away
Free them and spare all of my pain

Take what you want from me
I'll die to set others free
But I know what your intentions hold
You'll be the death of hope

I laugh inside, you clip my wings
I sit and count my blessings
Cure in hand, you watch me bleed
As I close my eyes in eternal sleep
