Foolish people we are
Living drama filled lives
forgetting our true selves
Always striving for the top
What is the top?
Looking like everyone else
Acting like everyone else?
The top, there is no such thing
If we would only open our eyes
Which are blinded by society
We would realize what precious time is being wasted
Greedy is what we are
Never satisfied, always wanting more
Forgetting the man who died for us
For you, for me
For those who spit on him and threw things at him
Hate him as you wish
He is waiting for you to come to him
Confide in him
Foolish person, save yourself
Be forgiven for your sins
Let him in, Let him in
Dark lakes of fire
Crying, sadness, loneliness
Walking streets of gold
Beautiful scenery
Happiness, love, joy, laughter
It's your choice, your eternity
Quit trying, open your eyes
You are at the top
Let him in foolish one
He loves you

Amen, great read.  I for one have already let Him in, but for those who havent, you show many great reasons why we should!  Thank you!
