Do you know what it means?
Do you know the way it runs?
Do you know what it means?
Do you feel the price of life begun?
Do you know what it means?
Do you laugh and walk away,
and when the karmic ledger
tallies up your freely chosen life
do you whine and complain
that you didn't have a choice?
Is that your grown up voice?
Do you scream you never knew?
Do you offer up a deal?
Is it all a shock to you?
Do you try to run?
Do you try to hide?
Do you cry it isn't true?
Well when the sun rises tomorrow
when there really is no where to go,
and when the trumpets thunder out your name,
will you say you didn't know?
Do you know what it means?

I still reserve the right to toss rock glasses.



But I never touch the ones from The Sands.

Some things are sacred.
