[Epigraph:]
|
"Destiny is not a matter of chance.
|
It is a matter of choice.
|
It is not a thing to be waited for-
|
it is a thing to be achieved.
|
William Jennings Bryan"
|
|
A question fades
|
In the stillness of the air
|
I have to seek
|
The answer by myself
|
What if I don't?..
|
What if I quit?..
|
Life is a game
|
I'm the misfit
|
There is a scar
|
Cut deep, too far
|
Beyond my flesh
|
On through my soul
|
Lifetime dividing gash
|
Ten thousand dreams
|
And miles away
|
There's my lost yesterday
|
A peaceful flow
|
Through days... and maybe years
|
Among the thoughts
|
Of how it could have been...
|
If I was there
|
Back then again,
|
Was unaware
|
Of any pain
|
Day after day
|
It gets harder
|
To bear this scar
|
And overcome this depression bizzare
|
I close my eyes
|
And wonder why
|
Someone does not give up
|
A remedy-
|
The healing power
|
Is it really in me?..
|
|
[Post Scriptum:]
|
The idea for this song came after the tragedy that befell Jason Becker.
|
To the authors the way Jason treated this terrible SCAR is the clear example
|
of how a person, a human being DOES NOT GIVE UP in the face of earthly
|
misery and chooses to go on strugglingonly with the strength of his will.
|
This is indeed a choice to be respected. The authors would like to address
|
this song to those making their final choice of life and death.
