Answers - Susan Calloway

I close my eyes

Tell us why must we suffer

Release your hands

For your will drags us under

My legs grow tired

Tell us where must we wander

How can we carry on

If redemption's beyond us

To all of my children in

Whom Life flows abundant

To all of my children to

Whom Death hath passed his judgement

The soul yearns for honor

And the flesh the hereafter

Look to those who walked

Before to lead those who walk after

Shining is the Land's light of justice

Ever flows the Land's well of purpose

Walk free walk free

Walk free believe

The Land is alive so believe

Suffer Promise Witness Reason

Follow Wander Stumble Listen

Honor Value Whisper Mention

Ponder Warrant Cherish Welcome

Witness Listen Suffer Sanction

Weather Wander Answer Sleep on

Now open your eyes

While our plight is repeated

Still deaf to our cries

Lost in hope we lie defeated

Our souls have been torn

And our bodies forsaken

Bearing sins of the past

For our future is taken

War born of strife

These trials persuade us not

Words without sound

These lies betray our thoughts

Mired by a plague of doubt

The Land she mourns

Judgement binds all

We hold to a memory of scorn

Tell us why given Life

We are meant to die

Helpless in our cries

Answer Answer Answer together

Thy Life is a riddle

To bear rapture and sorrow

To listen to suffer

To entrust unto tomorrow

In one fleeting moment

From the Land doth life flow

Yet in one fleeting moment

For anew it doth grow

In the same fleeting moment

Thou must live

Die

And know
