Second Wind
Streams of consciousness overflow
From mourning due our sorrows grow
Our hearts turn numb without a cause
And spirits dumb with lives on pause
As countdowns of politicking clocks
Locks the box that stocks the flocks
But the second hand within our grasp
The time has come to kill the asp
Lose the chains and loose the clasp
Inhale new life from lifeless gasp
We all want a Second Wind
Breath of fresh air
New spirit within
We all need a Second Wind
Air of freedom
Free from sin
From sinking sand we reach for sky
Needles of vengeance bleed mercy dry
Our hearts will pump the blood it draws
As we seek to blot our brother’s flaws
In vain our quest turns toward ourselves
Into our faults our psyche delves
But the second hand within our grasp
The time has come to kill the asp
Lose the chains and loose the clasp
Inhale new life from lifeless gasp
We all want a Second Wind
Breath of fresh air
New spirit within
We all need a Second Wind
Air of freedom
Free from sin
When our eye is dark from a worldview
That sees no future just judgment due
And the light within the rain burns out
Through warning tears pouring doubt
Thy kingdom calls for all to hear it
When it reigns its poor are rich in spirit
But the second hand within our grasp
The time has come to kill the asp
Lose the chains and loose the clasp
Inhale new life from lifeless gasp
We all want a Second Wind
Breath of fresh air
New spirit within
We all need a Second Wind
Airing freedom
Free from sin
