all that cant be said

A MILE AWAY

because love is a mile away
as the road sign on the right says
shimmering in green
words made out to show the world
60 miles an hour
love my dear is only a mile away

across the road from the broken down tavern
fields harvest seeds of years to come
life triumphs with each step of the way
i sold out the devil for a place with god
because life is only a mile away
life my dear is but a mile away

we're never there until we arrive
same, we never learn till we experience
past the crack skip the abyss
do not fall into deceit and entrapment
that's the truth a mile away
truth my dear is only a mile away

so the grass is greener on the other side
down we fall with each beam of pride
been there done that how about you?
row on over my sinner friend
one mile across to the other side
humility my dear is a mile away

persevere on dont bat an eyelid
cast away the shadow beside you
be gone and never come back say to it
that's the prize a mile away
from now on let evil have no say
heaven, yes, heaven is a mile away

dedicated to mark. if not for you i won't be updating. glad to know i'm of some help! in my words is how i inteprete certain things in life. and the understanding and appreciation of the woes and triumphs.
