Please, leave alone my broken soul

Permit my heart to bleed

For my surrender yields control

Your ways elude my frail control

But still you plant a seed

Please, leave alone my broken soul

You sow rich promise in my soul

A puerile hope sprouts like a weed

For my surrender yields control

Such scarcity’s in my control

My dreams you tether to your greed

Please, leave alone my broken soul

And what am I without my soul?

A vessel from its purpose freed?

For my surrender yields control

Though I’m convinced you’d make me whole

Through burning tears I scrape and plead

Please, leave alone my broken soul

For my surrender yields control
