Voice of the spirit
When i lie in the lonely ebb of hours
And hard up in natures tempting hands
I'll hear the voice,voices of the spirits
Calling far beyond my hearing ears
That it is not now to fall in line
In the duty of men which had no gain
But it is time,time to bake-up instructions
That are wise,full of wisdom and gracious.
That makes the day of man shinesforth
When tomorrow is altered and seems lost forever
This is the voice of reason that cannot surrender
To life's failures and defeats henceforth.
