Life in Transition

There was a shift among the ranks

It wasn't subtle but the changes they all came with a catch

And many, so many, had tried and many had failed

They lacked the vision to predict what was next

And one dream was out of the picture

One try is all that you get

One life is not much to gamble

And so your work isn't finished yet

It's not what you recognize

So now you're tenure is done

You would embrace this life in transition if only your pretense was gone

There was a vision focused through a composition that the chemically imbalanced would know

And over and over they said it's over and done with

And the choices of the few made it so

And one piece of misinformation

One guess is all that it takes

One tale is passed out among us, and though untrue it was not a mistake

Foreign thoughts will infiltrate and slowly change the common man

All who walk among us are rewarded as the diligent

Rights are gained and and taboos broken, build a concept once again

Close the door on those who left cause bitter men have bitter ends

Just cause you've been there, just cause you know,

Just cause you're sure, it don't make you right
