Sigh
Dying Inside
A path is inviting, I do not follow,
    And I die a little inside.

An injustice occurs, I do not speak,
    And I die a little inside.

A child is in pain, I do not comfort,
    And I die a little inside.

A person is in trouble, I do not help,
    And I die a little inside.

For whom does the state knock?
There Came a Knock at the Door
There came a knock at the door,
    "Who is it?"

There came a cry from the dark,
    "The Constitution!"

There came a knock at the door, 
    "What is it?"

There came a cry from the dark,
    "They are coming!"

There came a knock at the door,
    "Who is it?"

There came a cry from the dark,
    "The Bill of Rights!"

There came a knock at the door,
    "What can I do?"

There came a cry from the dark,
    "They are here!"

There came a knock at the door.

I ache so
I acho so---------
 my heart, my head, my soul---------------------------
I ache so---------
 my heart---------
 a burning lump of coal------------------------
I ache so---------
 my head--------
 a mass of twisted wires-----------------------
I ache so----------
 my soul--------

I ache so
I could fill the page with
I ache so
