chapter & verse

What story is it,

You’d like me to tell;

The one where I found heaven,

Or where I re-discovered hell?

Of how high i climbed,

Or how low I fell;

It’s up to you,

I know them both well.

Do you want to hear,

About how I touched the sky?

I believed I could and I was,

Really able to fly.

Do you want to know,

How it all went away;

How it all came crashing down,

One fine summer day?

What chapter should I read,

From my lifes’ book?

There was no well traveled path,

No read that I took.

I went my own way,

I blazed my own trail;

With the triumphs and tragedies,

And all that entails.

I’ve always danced,

To the beat of my own drum;

And I’m not gonna stop dancing,

‘Til the music is all done.

When I finally stop dancing,

And the music fades away

My God rest my soul,

It was meant be anyway.
