I want to tell you I'm not ready for this yet
It's been so long in coming
Don't know if I'm going to make it without a net
And whether it's fear or longing
I'm looking through a glass darkly
And I'm not quite aware of all that I see
And though the clarity eludes me
I am not unafraid of what's following me
How far can you burrow yourself in this little hole
Tunneling under the sunlight?
How long can you sit all alone in your ivory tower
Vicarious in your fight?
And always I question my place in this little world
Yesterday and forever
I'd like to reach back and hold on with my little hand
But yesterday's just like never
And who's there to save me recover the time elapsed
Wondering always my state?
The words of a prophet, the songs of an angry man
Or only amazing grace?
