Good men live and die; evil men repent

Good men live and die; evil men repent
|
STILL
Perhaps it’s my time,
And maybe it’s not.
In the Grand Design,
In the Master Plot.
I feel confident;
Feel I can make it.
Sidestep that Serpent –
Don’t want to wake it.
Alone in my room
Or out in the crowd,
It’s safe to assume
I’ll make my folks proud.
Always help others
To get what they need.
Stand by my brothers –
Together we bleed.
Do a full day’s work,
Earn all of my pay.
I’m not one to shirk,
I know when to play.
When it comes to love,
I’m gentle and true.
No push and no shove –
I’d never hurt you.
Centuries roll by;
Nothing’s permanent.
Good men live and die –
Evil men repent.
When I cease to be,
Don’t mourn my ashes.
You can still see me
When the lightning flashes.
You can still hear me
When the thunder roars.
You can still feel me
When the spring rains pour.
You can still smell me
When the flowers bloom.
You can still touch me
At night in your room.
You can still touch me
At night in your room.
