PASSAGE

how strange life is my friend
not revealing its beginning

it has no end

faces pass as people go
changing growing

unaware and never knowing

who or where
or what will be

then there's you
you'll think of me


the ghosts within my mind must die

this i know
it is no lie

i ask no forgiveness
i have no alibi
but for awhile

i will cry

you can toughen your soul
if you thicken your skin

pass up a lover
turn down a friend

when this life
comes to an end

you will have chosen whose shape you're in
