Throughout 01:54
tear in my shirt a favourite of mine faded and frayed muddied and patched yet I wear it like an ornament with confidence and pride tear in my heart aches all the time trembling and tense crimson and raw yet it beats on with tenacity and capacity for love tear in my thoughts terrified mind shaking and scared swirling and dark yet I reason through adversity to distant chimes of hope tear in my soul pretending i'm fine battered and bound strung up and scarred yet I grasp the reigns of hopefulness with fervor and with faith
2.
not the sparrows, but the vultures get their way not the children, but adults show naivete not the beggar, but the passerby can thrive not the hopeless, but the fortunate survive if I could soar like the eagles and make it right I would I would if I could sing like the robin with peace in mind I would I would I would not the suffering, but the flourishing get aid not the outcast but the tyrant can tirade not the exiled but the neighbour is received not the honest but the liar is believed but the gentle mind, with the purest thoughts can sing or the poets with the honest lines they bring or a painter, in the beauty that they see these bring us hope, pull us from calamity

Wither 02:18
all my work is withering planting crops to watch them fail in spite of these two blistered hands all my work is withering i'd rather drift than face the day my wretched limbs they seem so frail like sisyphus repeats his chore i'd rather drift than face the day solace just beyond my reach solace just beyond my reach when i'm sleeping in my tomb all my fragile thoughts made pale my epitaph will still remain when i'm sleeping in my tomb

amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me i once was lost but now am found was blind but now i see
