The Irreplaceable Flower Called Truth
Walking the same streets again
Seeing the same things die again
There has to be release from such a mundane life
He sits on the same corner
Looks at the same sky again
As if it would give him answers
The questions are as heavy as always
Just like the piling of sins
"I've heard stories that would make men cry.
I'm tired of them" he tells me.
One day I heard a story
Of a glorious paradise
So he set out in search of it
But all he found was ashes
One day a voice from heaven told him
"I'm what you should be looking for."
The stains of a cynic are stubborn on the heart
And he found himself unable to read it
But the more he ignored that book
The more it haunted him
Until he could no more
And in that book, he read a story
Of a glorious paradise, no tears or chains
In his despair he cried to heaven:
"I've searched for so long
For a place to rest and so I wandered
But all I found was a world of ashes
If I reach out and take hold of You...
Will You finally lead me there?"
Walking new streets now
Seeing new things form now
Finally finding the answers searched for so long
No longer is his face full of questions
And now he wants to share this story with you:
When what I found were ashes in place of paradise
I fell down and found a flower growing at my feet
On its blood stained petals
Was a love letter written for us
The things I've always dreamed of are now falling into my hands
Out of the ashes of the lies that destroy & cover the world
I found one eternal thing
It has come to me in the shape of a flower
The irreplaceable flower called the Truth
Your irreplaceable flower
That continues to bloom & guide us
