Reason

i cant stay long
i cant stay long
i'm leaving and the distance calling
the distant call is like a native song
where home is never warm for the returning
with swollen feet and crimes committed
against my will and for it, and with reason
that i have grown a spine that stretches
all my bones, and gives me hands that reach
beyond my reach, and even further - for a reason
i break through thin and thick and again thin
the inside of the out and outside of the skin
i cannot sin, i pray- as there must be a reason
run, like in a herd without a shepherd
and run away from herd like in a dream
the crisp of leaves that tells me only
that i am going where no one else has ever been
i cant stay long, i must be leaving
somewhere,
there,
where my reason takes me - for a reason
