over and done

 

Oh I long for the morning…

For the moment when moonlight dives

The darkness seems darkest

To get it over and done

So finally

The dawn can sing

 

Oh I long for the morning…

For the moment when depression fades

The despair feels sharpest

God, just get it over with and done

So tranquility

Can finally rise from the east

 

Oh I long for the morning…

For the moment when all things are made right

The judgment is rejoiced

For the sea is over and done

So glory

Can be tasted and shared

 

the weight

Must I bear it?

The ego denied The nailing of pride The being crucified

Must I lose it?

The gnashing of teeth The forfeit of peace The bending of knees

Must I follow it?

The murderer’s eyes The widower’s cries The lonely goodbyes

Must I find it?

The lift of my head The unleavened bread The side where he bled

Must I bear it?
