Flesh and Bone
Created by a dreamer’s dream
Conceived before the concept of time
Blessed by what made me
I am eternal, divine
Ego hate, love faith
Light shadow, gratitude grace
Opposing positions of the human condition
Permeating the innocent mind from birth
We are flesh and bone
Water eroding stone
Dwelling at the bottom
Ascending to the heavens
What is done in the night
Will be revealed by the light
For every transgression, learn the lesson
Atone and make it right
