The world is spinning too fast.
Hold me up.
I'm losing my balance.
Stop the revolving
For a little while
So I can get off
And catch my breath.
But how can I
When I'm holding it together?
If I let go
It will fall apart
And break.
If I should slip
Or lose my grip
The world will shatter.
Call the King's horses
And all the King's men
To stand by to put it
Back together again.
Like the Dutch boy
With his finger in the dam
I cannot move from this place.
But would someone
Please come repair the hole,
And hurry,
Before the flood waters
Burst through.
See what I'm doing for you?
I am responsible, as in,
Being
a responsible person. I have integrity.
I am strong, as in,
Not weak. I have stamina.
I don't give up.
But what if I break?
I have given of my strength
To make others strong.
They took it from me.
But when all my strength was gone
They called me a weakling.
I gave to them liberally
From my abundant sunshine
But when mine disappeared,
They abandoned me,
To the shadows of the night.
I was no longer the source
Of
their strength and their sun
And they didn't understand
Why I no longer had none.
Why wasn't I a hero
For holding up the dam
And preventing the flood waters
From devouring the land?
