Concrete and coldness Cobwebs and chaos Poison and promises Liars and lies Deception falls like ashes from the skies Intentions and motive lost to distraction It sometimes seems easier to leave it alone And sort through the wreckage when the buzzards leave the bones Empty ruins rumble, wake and come alive One waits for a rainy day, while there are stories left to tell One more chose to look away, a penny for the wishing well Blood in the water the saint and the martyr will stay Wish away Watching and waiting Fearless and faithful Strength in surrender Survival and hope Another taking hold by letting go One lowly vessel, scarred imperfection Converging pieces in the master's design To work in the potter's field while there's still time Father, night is coming, mercy for the dawn One waits for a rainy day, while there are stories left to tell One more chose to look away, a penny for the wishing well Blood in the water the saint and the martyr will stay Wish away Beware - The silence when apathy sets in like a disease Reliance - On anything that pulls us off our knees Approval - A vigilance to storm the gates of hell Refusal - Of sideline lethargy and wishing well From ashes a vision Angel of mercy arise With no action it withers up and dies Fire - Immortal, the hands of God to touch the face of pain The loyal - To dust them off and lift them up again The fervent - A refuge for the broken souls in need The servant - Unto the least of these as unto me From vision to action, there's a new story to tell When living beyond the wishing well
