Glistening In The Distance

Mask 

your hurts

Turn your back

to all they've said

behind you


The mask will chafe

Its pain will fade

No condition is here to stay

You'll soon forget your sorrowful days

And what the wasted years took away


Glistening in the distance, a medallion

Raise your head, tough stallion

Obstacles do not define a champion

Even if they seem unmovable like Mt. Zion

Even if they stick like a lifetime companion
