this place

i have hung my traveling hat
on many new door posts
found myself in countries that
the faint of heart would boast
i have looked way down inside
the deepest echoing wells
and cast my lot with those whose fate
would surly lead to hell
i have wandered to and fro
among those lost highways
where angels tred and satens hoards
had ravished long ago
i have been to heavens gate
and plumeted to earth
i've witnessed death and sighs
in ectacy and birth
i have seen the world go round
from war to peace and then
the battle's fought as they repeat
the same theme once again
i have been a traveler
in the vastness of my soul
lost in the dark and wandering
from pole to lonely pole
i have seen the agony
of a father who's only son
lost his life in a forign land
to the strains of infections gun
oh i do not wish to join that club
with agonies so great
i can only hope that he will heal
that joy will be his fate

now i stand above the clouds
away from the freezing wind
in the warmth of love i'm held
i'm sheltered from the din
oh i am greatful day and night
for this the angels song
as i pass from youth to age
at last i do belong
so judge me not for i know well
that this spell could fast be broken
then again it can last long
if we keep our hearts devotion
as for the lost and weary hearts
i cannot know the path
i can only pray that healing rays
will hold them soft and fast
if there be a guiding hand
who's light shines from within
may it bring abundance there
so peace can reign again
