Ascent

I guess that it’s not
Always on me
Or on anyone else in this place
And I thought it was different
And I thought I was nobody else
And I thought I was inside this box that I built upon myself
And I’ve been wrong before
And I’ll be wrong again
But at least we’re tying up these loose ends
And I’m ready to step
Halfway through the door

And I’ll never be sure
And I’m feeling the floor
Is changing under my feet
But that’s the way the tide turns in the ocean of our lives
Our lives

I’m not ascended
But we’re getting there fast

And it’s getting hard
Not to believe
That I drove myself out of the way
But faith is never ending
If you hold onto your hat
And forget the past
It tests that little part
Of patience that you have
To think about the berries that went bad
And it’s tough to take that step
Halfway through the door

And I’ll never be sure
And I’m feeling the floor
Is changing under my feet
But that’s the way the tide turns in the ocean of our lives
In our lives

And I’m not ascended
And you’re not ascended
And none of us are ascended
Nobody’s ascended, nobody’s ascended
But we’re getting there fast

And I’m not ascended
And you’re not ascended
None of us are ascended
