Forgiveness Accepted in Confession

by Dane Carpenter   Oct 29, 2014


From me to you
From you to me too
We'll justify the story
Of the boy with the blue

He sang of winter in bitterness and woe
He sang of summer with a tune so low

A seasonal suffocation in bound
He knew it could always be found
But wouldn't stop to question
Why it was all year 'round

He forgot to differ
He forgot to prefer

Craving sentiments of a love transparent
Waiting around for a dove coherent
And twig, a sign of impossible hope
To owe himself a life-long merit

He tried for an end
He tried for a friend

Only finding what he looked at
For looking for, was only that
He found nothing
When on thought he did not act

He wasted away
He wasted a day

Infatuated, dismissing the world
With chaos and coincidence it would twirl
And without the wisdom and wander
He might have found it all in one girl

He thought it through
He thought it true

Never did he stop to see his wrong
Until at last he had lived her song
In an unfound greatness they said
They found him leading them strong

He found a trust
He found his must

Running from the heights as fast as he could
Running to the lights as fast as he should
Running
Running for the flights as fast as he would
Boy don't you stroll to wander
Now nobody needs to witness the good
Or acknowledge him as misunderstood
To find his way home
In a quiet and humble cabin of wood

He dreams now he's sure
He dreams now of her

But what of a god or a hell
He's scared now you can tell
The mistakes were not misfortune
But acts of one precisely broken cell

He'll love now again
He'll love to the end

And he stands tall but still with worry
He dare not witness above, it's starry
He mumbles, but in a lighter tune
All he can think is father, I'm sorry

Who could say that he's forgiven
Who could say that he's worth living

She could, he thinks of that
Now all he needs to do is act
