I used to think a soldier had no business in the war
I used to question harshly what a bayonet was for
But I don’t keep an arsenal of judgement anymore
I used to think a phantom gave out passes at the door
Handed down from empires and kept secret from the poor
But I don’t have a treasure trove of viewpoints anymore
I once believed the pastor was a joker and a bore
I used to think his ministry was rotten to the core
But I don’t drink the spirits of opinion anymore
I once believed the jury were employees in my store
And I believed the afterlife was just a settled score
But I don’t keep a shrine to condemnation anymore
I used to think that lions were the only ones to roar
I used to think that eagles were the only ones to soar
But I don’t have a field guide of exclusion anymore
I once believed our enemies were waiting on the shore
And I would hold the remedies to all their myth and lore
But I don’t have that talisman of answers anymore
So if you lean upon me we may fall down on the floor
And there we may hear echoes of the dreams we had before
But I don’t have a spell book of assurance anymore
