Had I the Courage

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition
Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Plumed serpent slithers and slides slow
In this slippery mind this kind I know
And in mine eye I have kind of known, kind of known

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Too much confusion with this here kind; Too much
illusion
Too much delusion in this here mind. Why, I know
Illusion; this illusion, disillusion.

Somehow the raindrops always fall in rhythm

Had I the courage to call you by your true name

Had I the courage to call you by your true name
Had I the courage to call you by your true name

I'd not mind the rain, I
I'd not mind the change
Whatever I'd find strange I'd name
Your volition, your volition, your volition.

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

And I sit in the rain, and I'm wondering...
And I sit in the rain and I'm wondering
Why the birds don't sing in this night
Why the kids don't play in this night
Why the sun don't shine

Had I the choice to call you; I'm wondering...
Would I see you? I'm wondering
Would I peel in the thundering sight?
If I'd feel you wandering.

This rock I stand on rolls
forever I walk but to where I don't know,
I don't know why the kid don't play in this night
Why the sun don't shine for me

Under the night I roam, and stroll
Within the light I'll roam, it's true

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

Take these two steps on this beach at sunset
At unease with the rest
And my knees at unrest
And my head at unrest
I don't care about the best
This duress is a test
I could do with a rest now

Let my mind relax
Let my soul come back
Let me know I passed with the courage

This mission: your volition
this ambition: your volition
this friction: your volition
your volition

Your volition is the faith that drives me on and on...
