I needed a place to stay
I asked and you turned me away
Running so fast from all we’ve been
Is it that the monsters dream
To find themselves in mine
And I did some time
In the hut at the end of the hill
And it wasn’t with the power of my own will
But sunshine
Warms the grass and I am fine
As I sit with Mary Jean
Teaching me to knit the seam
On the scarf I will wear
But there’s holes in it I didn’t tear
And I wonder about the free
If they have anything in common with me
When the lock clicks
And you’re let out of all the bricks
They build to house your strength
I’m shaking now, dunno where it went
As they all assure
Me that I am pure
And steadfast
And that this day’s not gonna last
But the night gives way
To pull apart what they may say
Into a new dawn
And there’s nothing of me that’s really gone
As I stand up on my two feet
Be the place the waters meet
Beyond those walls
Looking down empty halls
For someone to come in
But I was waylaid looking for him
And gave up on the storm that I am
But I’m still resting in God’s palm
And he never makes a fist
Only opens it
So I can see
A whole span of infinity
Ever spiraling forth
And it may not be a front porch
Or two broad open doors
But it’s a start
I still flame and I’ve got heart 
And no nonchalant can take that away
Don’t believe what the people say
