I Knew About Them

I decided to live for man instead of God

I don't know how it happened

I learned when you live for man, you die for man

I didn't have to die

It takes a lot longer to die than to live

I was wondering if you wear out

Many clothes these days

If you lose, or need to change, or outgrow

And is it easy to let your old clothes go

And bring them

To the place for the other unknown segment

Who somehow wants them

I decide this way is the best

But the time is so hard to corral

And pull out little intrigants

Which I can't read no more

I surely can't keep the light on

It's too dark to see

Let me tell you somethin

I sure can hear

I sure can hear

They didn't know that

They knew I couldn't see

But they forgot

That I could still hear

And hearing is knowing

I knew all about' em, yes

I don't know how they even got so close

For me to even hear them

But they know that I'm listening now

And I've got some plans

To stop anything negative dead in its tracks

Go away now

You're too heavy on my mind

I need to lay back

Close my eyes

So go away now

Before you're gone
