mrs. jaded   loved a man whose passion   had faded away!   so she waited   for the day when the fire returned   but it never came      what she said to me:   love's like the seasons, remember   love's promised spring and summer   will melt away with December   ....see for yourself      mr. vision   saw the future then found religion sacred   glitter-free salvation   took the patience of saints   so he cursed the time he wasted away      what he said was:   faith's like the flowing waters   a fierce and raging river   will calm and still in like weather      think for yourself, speak for yourself, see if   it's true   if it's true      just like the seasons, untender   life burns in spring and summer   but fades away like these embers      the world's elusive, remember   where love's the leaf   faith, the river   what's born as flame dies in ember      see for yourself!
