Reckoning...

The Stranger prayed for a homecoming
by the light of the fingernail Moon
and Dawn spread her rose tinted arms
perhaps a moment too soon
All things boil down to perspective...
The glass; half empty or is it half full?
Don't let life get you down,
there's always a chance
if you believe in romance
and you're willing to play Love's Fool...

Well, the Ultimate Rebel is limping homeward
as the streetlights blink off one by one
and the Last Angry Young Man
is refusing to go home,
talking to himself and no one
Lonely Girl waiting for the bus alone
as her day has just begun
She dreams of true love,
prays to Unseen Gods above
and cries herself to sleep...

The Old Guard is slowly fading,
their Treasure has lost is shine
The Masses are starting to come around
Lord, perhaps it's time
Time to take stock of our World
and see if we can save this Earth
Sinking in the sand for so long
we missed the Pearl of Great Worth...
