    THE LOVE WE SAVE

    let us pray. for we definitely have sinned.

                    tupac shakur...hail mary

     

    fortunate is the woman who asks for nothing

    always givng love never expecting to receive

    will we grieve

    on the eve

    of everlasting forgiveness

    or be standing room only in an auditorium

    waiting for the demon to deceive

     

    hear the cries of twelve tribes finally exhausted

    the mighty lion of judah is long in the tooth

    see the christ detained at guantanamo bay

    an in terror gator saying if you are the rising son

    walk on water show us the proof

     

    feel the child squirming within the motherlands belly

    a  premature delivery to occur in a foreign land

    what is truly white..what is truly black

    somebody please tell me

    do you care in your desperation what color 

    the helping hand

     

    are you my brother

    can you my sister

    will we ever be truly brave

    tell me i really need to know

    is everlasting life worth the love we save

     

    unfortunate is the man who needs confirmation

    basking  in the glow of an artificial light

    will we be captured

    on the eve of the rapture

    ignoring the road to redemption

    while taking part in a senseless fight

     

    hear the cries of a child being viciously beaten

    as earth angels fall from the sky

    their waxen wings melting in the light

    see the anointed one bruised beaten and battered

    little did his crack addled father know

    he was assualting the christ

     

    feel the sun encroaching  upon a blue pearl so brittle

    a premature end

    to all we should have been

    somebody tell me

    when all flesh is burning

    who  among us will be the first

    to acknowledge our sins

     

    are you my brother

    can you my sister

    will we ever truly brave

    tell me i really need to know

    is our everlasting life worth the love we save

     

    is our everlasting life

    worth the love we save
