Among the Ashes

Shuffle

Through the open door

Try not to disturb others

Into the sacred place

One of currency and kindness and productivity

Don't ever step back

From the row that you've hoed

My son, you must learn

Your place in this world

Try as we might we cannot scale this wall

My son, you may try but you will not succeed

Your place is here among the ashes

That flow down from high down to the bottom

There was a time

Not long ago, son

People lent a helping hand to others

But now that time's gone

You must make your way all on your own

Don't ever step back

From the row that you've hoed

My son, you must learn

Your place in this world

Try as we might we cannot scale this wall

My son, you may try but you will not succeed

Your place is here among the ashes

That flow down from high down to the bottom
