    THE PASSION WITHIN

    Militant mastermind for whom the bell tolls
    justice begs to differ, as truth unfolds.
    I, who am not of large voice do speak,
    in search of the truth,
    am I strong, or am I weak?

    There is danger in treading on such thin ice
    so leap to the rocks when waters aren't nice.
    stay toward the edge when rapids are near
    go toward the beach where there is no fear.
    But as we fear, we grow
    without fear, we never know,
    that which our heart has tried to tell us,
    is it for more, for less, for joy,
    for success?

    Tremulous master
    controller of my senses
    give to me the wisdom of the ages.
    To tread these waters without rapids
    to grow strong
    and speak from the masses.

    One voice, that which I hear,
    is it yours?
    is it mine?
    who whispers in my ear?
    Or is it that of a stranger
    I've known once before,
    who,s voice I recognize
    but can not be sure.

    Rapture beckons from within my soul
    but the chains are pulling me back
    toward the shore.
    The ropes which have me tied
    to a wandering ship,
    are pulling me out
    into the open rip.
    Tread on the water, sail with the wind,
    trust me darlin,
    throw caution to the wind.

    But the chains that have me
    locked up and bound,
    are keeping me prisoner
    trying not to be found.
    That which from yet another place,
    is dancing in the monnlight
    tempting me out to fate.

    Oh so inviting
    temptation is strong,
    I've tasted the rapture, the sweet love song.
    Just for a while
    I'll dance in the wind,
    then I'll go back to my militant friend,
    and dream of the waters
    where love did tread,
    if only in my dreams
    on my pillow in my head.
