After the first awakening
A rude one
I was informed
I had to make sacrifices
Oh so many
And at first
I refused
But I wasn’t aware
I had no control
Will you listen
Listen to the stories
Of a thousand sacrifices
Each new day
And each new year
I’m not telling it
To feel sorry for myself
But to be so damn proud
Of becoming Myself
And I’d do them all
All over again
Because you yourself
And your second coming
Is worthy in full
Of each of them
