wisdom of wisdom fools

If I say the god I believe in doesn’t carry a brief caseAnd the devil is in need of a shaveIf I dare to ask the question Will you stop me and tell me to behaveIf I question every answerIf I fold beneath the sheetsIf my soul is eaten with cancerWill you still believe I take up arms so defensiveI take up position so wideI act not to be offensiveI act until I dieMy god needs no worshipNo slavery in sightNo servants at the doorNo widows plight I take up arrows of good fortuneAnd plunder what is leftOf your sanctions comes my thunderOf you love I am bereftStolen from me before birth I reach out and yearnTaken from what I’m worthBut in you I never learn Take up arms of good sorrowSpears turn into earthly toolsIn your yoke I will borrowThe wisdom of wisdom foolsI look now for life’s long lessonAnd find it lacking in plain viewI beg forgiveness for my transgressionI wish your judgement were not trueI wish now for an answerA way to make it all worthwhileTake god away this cancer And put back my childish smileFinding meaning without reasonFinding reason where meaning once stoodNo changing within the season No words that come out goodI ask now for the guidanceTo find a way through it allI ask now not for your silenceI ask now not to let us fall
