Awake dear friend no this isn't the end no it's not quiet beginning to start Though I know you've been wronged well it will not be long Till your problems are deep in the yard So bury all you carry and let by gone burdens go Sink them in summery sand or wintery snow And you're wondering why I am qualified How can I give a ghost such advice Well I've been mistreated too treated too Treated just like you, I wanted vengeance for all of my life But I came to conclusions my illusions were just that I dug down deep and threw the heap in the black But the stakes are raised so you dig a grave And you bury everything around And if you have your doubts let me spell it out Let me make myself perfectly clean You've got to dig a hole and rest your soul And soon you will see what I mean But meanings may arrive at later times than we would like They're not always obvious no and they're not always nice And mistakes are made, every single day But we pick them up and put them down But the stakes are raised, so you'll dig a grave And you bury everything around
