Changing Hands

How far, will you go?
With your plans
You've set to sow

When the pressure starts to build
Calibrated with time
You'll find you're not the first
To step over the line

Down from the depths they'll beg you to stay
Those worth their salt will light the way
Some will get ahead others left behind

Some born beneficiaries and victims of the times

How hard, will you run?
My warring daughters
Forgotten sons

When the tide begins to shift
And equilibrium found
What we once held true
We find no longer sound

Picking up the pieces where they lay
Constructing them in our own way
We can win the most but not them all
Accept the differences or expect to accept the fall

How far, will you go?
To save
Your immortal soul

With the depression from your lungs
You breathe your last
New beginnings
Come with the closing of the past

We'll march and carry your body away
Six feet below in an unmarked grave
Open up the gates and we will find
The most precious place we hold inside our minds

As above, so below
We pick up where we left
And we continue to sow

In our darkest hour
We will find
The strength to rise above
And leave it all behind

Learning to trust in what we can't see
Resisting negativity
They'll back you in a corner and they'll use fear
Insisting that the end times really are near
