LEST WE CRY # 1

And then he waded into the shallows, hoping never to surface again in the deep.
Hopin not to be part of the sheep
Hopin never to weep
Hopin to sleep

And then he entered the hallowed portals, hoping to educate his mind
Hopin never to be part of the other kind
Hopin to be the one to find
Hope for his kind

Lest we cry
So we try
Lest we cry
So we sigh

There in the shadows lil one
There in the sun, see the one
There in the murk, you've overcome
Therein wade and wallow, till I'm done

Lest we cry
We will fry
Lest we cry
We will sigh

And then with no thoughts on his mind, he chose one thought of hope
A piece of bread is a hungry man's loaf
Try as we climb the rope
From earth to our sky of scope

Lest we cry
So we try
Lest we cry
So we sigh
