A little kid on the beach
Building against the tide.
Soggy piles of sand stand firm,
But turn to sludge,
Much like human pride.
And the almighty just rolls on by….
A child, at night, in church
Hell and damnation the message calls.
My head aches,
I cannot take the strain,
My thoughts run wild, death appalls
And the almighty just rolls on by……..
A teen on the bus to school
Struggling with festering feelings
That lead to dead ends
Plans that come to nothing
No way to make amends.
And the almighty just rolls on by….
Big decisions are made as time proceeds,
People come and go, changes all around.
The walls of the city bleed its dread life
People everywhere press,
Very little help is found.
And the almighty just rolls on by…..
“I to the hills will lift my eyes…”
They say the hills have eyes.
They cannot see my pain
It’s far away,
She bows her head and cries.
And the almighty just rolls on by…..
The doors are locked the windows barred
All is lost…..
Questions with no answers
Not worth knowing about.
Thoughts, feelings, tempest tossed,
And the almighty just rolls on by……
Free at last, the prison long gone by,
Life goes on without a reason why,
Children come and go and some stay,
Life has meaning again,
At least for a while.
And the almighty just rolls on by……
Up into the mountaintops I go.
Anything to stay there….
Dangerous substances.
All to no avail.
I am lost to those who love me.
And the almighty just rolls on by……
The doors are finally shut for good.
There is no way out from hell or doom.
A voice calls out in the dark.
One faint hope to hold on to.
And the almighty just rolls on by…….
Out into a wide open space.
Love is found, pure and true.
It was there all the time.
Amid the lows and the highs,
There is always hope,
Because the almighty just rolls on by….
