Thou Art. You Are. Now, What?
The man is gone for you, for now, the one who
Risked with courage and tried to convince
Looking at and up and for your love
Ever after, for now, ever since
The man's gone who trusted in you
Because of him, because of God
Denying himself and obeying
A whole good deal of a lot
That man was neglected, ignored and some mistrusted
That man was ugly, even though unintentionally, hurt
That man was a foolish dog, a slinky cat, then a tiger
Now being some resolved "trying to fly away" bird
Could it have been some better?
Couldn't it even have been good?
Couldn't he have been fortunate?
Supposing, indeed, one could!
What is left residual is the woman
Fine, fragile, prideful and frighten
Longing for her man to support
Being precious and enlighten
Longing to be convinced
Longing to be found by clue
Longing to be such surprised
A better whole life through
Sitting in between and behind her walls
She's lonely but definitely secure
She still has got love to give
Heavenly, net and pure
Could it have been better?
Could it have been that good?
Could she even have succeeded?
Yeah, yes, I guess, that she could?
One person is so little
But the being is very big
And the hope is still alive
For you, my God, to stick
Now, who are you now?
And who do you want to be?
The woman who is some lost?
Or the man going to be Gee!
Do you want to fight for good?
Do you want to choose forever?
Do you want to be that hero?
Do you want to be clever?
Could it be yet any better?
Could it even be real good?
Could it be stupendous?
Absolutely, it could!
