Wicked Mortal Lie

©2014 David Moody

I know you're watching me
I wonder how I look
Do I act my age or act out in rage?
Would this life of mine make a good book?

We’re used to living free

I wonder will it last

Now everyone must fight or we’ll lose all our rights

We’ve seen this all before in the past

I see the children cry

And I’m longing for their laughter

You can see the reason why

I have to wonder what will come after

This disaster

I put my faith in you

And I’ve got plenty more

I’ll be your friend until the bitter end –

Just give us strength and we will even the score

There’s no replacing you

No matter how they try

And with the love you gave, you’re more than just my savoir

More than any wicked mortal lie

I hear your children’s cries

And I can’t understand

As water rises to my eyes

Is this really how you planned it

Lord and Master?

I can’t pray any faster
