Walk Heavy in the Light

We walked so lightly
When we were blind
When we were interested in simple things
And tied to the duties and structure of religion
We never dared question our authorities
We never wanted to live without boundaries
And then we grew up…
Faced the light for what it was
Faced ourselves and toughened the edges
Made the round turn hard
Made the blurry turn sharp
And saw behind the curtain to what was really Hollywood
 done up in a different Frock
But the hymns still rang true
Even when we questioned the writers who had written them
 The Bells still banged heavenly
The Vibrato still rang melody
So now we walk heavily
Conscience of our steps
Conscience of our body
Conscience of our words
But we still yearn for the Magic
Of youth
And the Truth
Turn
Turn into the shadow of who you have created
In Your own Image
But with a Microsoft
