March On - Human Drama

I’m slipping back into my shell

Never thought about it either way

It should be gone by now

But I guess it never left

Like a novel whose last page I read first

I’m somewhere in the middle now

Denying how

It all turns out

March on

All you poor souls

March on

All you scared sinners

March on

I walk beside you

Oh the days they pass so slowly now

When you’ve seen the sum of their worth

I remember when

They moved too fast for me

On the reins, my hands would stay

Now I have just let them go

Yet still

They are still

March on…

It’s true I walk beside you now

Tomorrow’s fear keeps love from hands

I’ve written of chains hoping it would

Break me free

But it didn’t, it will be no different this time

March on…

We reap what we sow

But look at what we’ve been given

It’s truly impossible

To build from nothing at all
