Playground

I try not to burn any bridges,
I try not to run if I can,
Never again is something I try not to say,
and when I do I usually eat my words.

I'd rather face my fears, look it down if I can,
and see what happens.
I look to see if it's all your saying.
I look to see who's right, and why.
I look to see if something will change,
because I know nothing changes for the better by itself.

I desire truth and search for it, so tell me it.
I desire things I can hang on to and look for them, so show me God.

It may seem that it's me against the world,
me against all these demons that try to control us.
But really it's far from that it's not me against anything,
it's follow the leader, it's a playground where you hold the teachers hand.
Your not here to climb the tallest structure, build the tallest tower, beat up the toughest kid.
I find I have no strength to do these things and I thank God I don't because I would have.

And maybe it's my problem,
maybe i should light some fires.
but I really do not know, the door is kept open,
I save the burning for God.
