You´ve built yourself a pretty house
With Kings and Jacks and word of mouth
Who am I to expose your flaws
I´m just a Samson without a cause
I never vowed to never stop
until each tear stained card was dropped
and I could help you bear the pain
If i could bear to speak your name.
What can I say I can´t write my wrongs
I never trusted me. I wished you hadn´t so long.
The stars have not written a sonnet for me .
And I´m going to regret but not apologize.
the choices I´ve made with me will die.
And I´ll accept my fate so willingly.
Amazing Grace was quite a sound
Until you turned the words around
had me running every way
Afraid that I might die today
A million before me have heard the call
Who was I to let them fall.
How could i just turn my back
On miles and miles of well worn paths.
What can I say I can´t write my wrongs
I never trusted me. I wished you hadn´t so long.
The stars have not written a sonnet for me .
And I´m going to regret but not apologize.
the choices I´ve made with me will die.
and I´ll except my fate so willingly.
A tear. The blue. The Depth. The truth.
intertwined together in the soul of you.
I see salvation when you see the sky.
Through your faith I can cry.
They say you must look up to see.
But memories way my eyes so heavily.
if you thought I was damaged then, look at me now.

last stanza is gold. do not alter it.
title of post is funny. i know what you mean. but it's something you care about, scratch that, something you are passionate about. it's bound to come out. for me different things come out at different times.
the only thing i'm not completely comfortable with is the Amazing Grace line. And not because i don't like what you did with it, just that that is a pretty common thing to use so i thought maybe you could find an old hymn that is a little less known instead. I think people would still get the connection.
Thoughts?
I used amazing grace just because of the ¨how sweet a sound¨ line that I referenced. And because it was one of my favorite hymns back when...
And How Great Thou Art. I still love that one.
And I guess you are right about the title, I just feel like I´m being redundant sometimes.
Hey, I saw the Pyrenees today covered in Snow.
