Let the Peace be Near

A tale of mind came to me, It was my past life you see,

One time I saw the weirdest slug,

I apologized for my flaws,

He grabbed a jug,

I joined his pace for the cause.

Why must everyone be in a race?

I use to chase, O' so long ago,

The bottle was the only one,

Because he made me numb.

We took a walk,

I showed him the creek,

I say this is my peace,

When I'm alone,

Hate to be here when it's dry as a bone,

But I'm glad to share this peace,

With a dear old friend.

Me and Joe we saw a man,

I say, "Do you cry?"

He sits down next to us and says,

"I'm a man tears don't shed from these eyes,

except when I'm alone."

We get to walking,

We share some talking,

We stopped down the ways along that path,

Here down in philly had a nice long toke.

I tell him my piece and I end with the truth,

I need to see my baby but he's on the next coast.

He's gives me a word,

Says here's my advice

Don't take it to heart 'cause I'm just being nice,

He said " Don't trip so hard

'cause we all get scarred

He said take a run if you feel like

He's your only one

& Shed those tears 'cause that's really you're fear,

Don't let the past hold you down 

Wipe away that frown 'cause you won't be wearing no crown

Next thing you know

It'll hurt to get low

Clear your mind 

Once in a time

The cloud sheds its rain

We call that Jesus tears down here,

They all feel your pain,& know it's really fear" 

One last thing he had to say "Before you go always know

you never that alone."
