The Essence of My Rich Soul

I’ve help birth the sweetest of babies
I’ve sliced open the assassin’s throat

I’ve hung on the edge of crumbling buildings
I’ve seen the strangest things just float

I’ve raged inside as my tribe died
to circle in later to scalp more than a few

I’ve kissed a thousand men and women
I‘ve needed moisture from the morning dew

I’ve witness senseless, brutal killings
I’ve seen entire villages set free

I’ve done all of this just watching
How my dreams come play with me

In the silence of my slumber
In the early morning light

I seen the darkest images wonder
why I never seem to fright

I’ve run high above in the Moon light
And then been pulled to the Earth’s soft core

I’ve been called by God to enter
I’ve been pressed to Satan’s door

I’ve never stalled my dreams with boundaries
for these trips I would pay a great fee

I’ve learned that in dreams I am experiencing
the depth and essence of the soul that lives in me
