Sole Salvation
Sole Salvation: Embracing Tolerance for Personal Triumph
Lyrics
Of course I want there to be an us
Expressing a desire for a relationship.
I've always wanted that
Consistent longing for a connection.
And if giving time and patience
Willingness to invest time and patience.
Trying hard to understand
Effort to understand each other.
We never feel the power of our own hands
Reflecting on the untapped potential within ourselves.
Sense the danger late
Awareness of danger that is recognized too late.
And only vaguely ever grasp the means of our sole salvation?
Questioning our ability to grasp the means of personal salvation.
What then?
Raising a hypothetical question about the future.
Do it right, do it now
Encouragement to take positive action immediately.
Here there, everywhere
Emphasizing the importance of action everywhere.
Shouting out I'm mad as hell
Expressing frustration and anger.
He pushes his legs against the bed
Describing physical exertion and determination.
And feels the triumph flooding through his head
Feeling triumphant and empowered.
He could conquer, he could win
Believing in one's ability to conquer and succeed.
Now that dying only means you're not in next week's program
Contemplating the changing perception of death.
Stop being a baby
Advising against being overly sensitive.
Will you stop, will stop it
Encouraging someone to stop pretending.
Won't you stop play-acting little man?
Challenging someone's behavior and maturity.
Just how long till you drop it
Pondering the duration of the act and the possibility of change.
Will it be this year, next year, sometime, never?
Raising questions about when change will happen.
Stop, when you feel like saying have a heart but don't take mine
Requesting empathy without personal sacrifice.
There's a new dance the tolerance
Introducing the concept of a new dance called tolerance.
And it just might be your sole salvation
Linking tolerance to potential salvation.
