The Everglades (For Leonard)

You of grace Many ghosts alive in my mind Many paths I wish I'd taken Many times I thought I'd break Because in kind it seems to be A way beyond the bends There be songs to play There be grace for everyone And calmer days will arrive And we would not need to ask Why everything In this world been lost ever since And we're not giving in We're not gonna shy away We're growing tall with the pain We're searching the everglades And suing God with change And furthermore, I think it's just too late
