Did you ever find the garden

Where the doves go to bathe?

Did you open up your heart there?

Or were you quiet and afraid?

Did you light up every lantern?

Your flame whipping against the wind

Or did you fall back to the alleys

With all your secrets to defend?

Between the cities and the temple

Between the jury and the judge

Gavel pounds down like thunder

That's inside of all of us

Were we kids out in the desert

Or birds running cross the sun?

Did I stumble through your darkness

Or was I just another one?
