lyrics

She was raised on a farm in Arkansas,
a pretender honest
meal to meal, picking cotton.
And I'm not much different,
now wholly indicted.
A wry, kindred liar
A sinner, but trying
to make my amends
to a collective dying
whose blood is the chase
to my unhealthy diet.

Burning both ends,
Spread out too thin.

The power of death's in the dust left behind.
An abandoned diner, a withering garden.
I've never seen life in such graceful denial.
The elegy read was so honestly faithful.
Her daughter in law lives for Vegas,
but cried at the wake
singing "God lives within us".

While you were awake,
I could've come calling
proclaiming a name
so familiar, yet foreign.
But the Greatest one stops,
and with outstretched arm, beckons all:
The Name you forgot,
always hold it close to your heart.
