Disciple

You will be my disciple
And you will learn my trade
You will only understand me when you come of age
Disciple of a prophet
That no one else has named
You will hold my spirit when the body’s in the grave
And you’ll learn the world has solved her problems on
her own
And you may wake one day believing you’re alone
But you’ll never be alone
Fragile in your breathing
Omnipotent with age
Time can only measure what is left of life remains
Freedom’s for the ignorant
Everyone is chained
Courtesy’s acknowledgement that you are not afraid
And you’ll learn the world has solved her problems on
her own
And you may wake one day believing you’re alone
But you’ll never be alone
Blessed are men of charity
The wise are of their own
Be cautious with your judgement
For you never truly know
Pity on the privileged
For they have been betrayed
Follow truth and honesty and you will be repaid
And you’ll learn the world has solved her problems on
her own
And you may wake one day believing you’re alone
But you’ll never be alone
No, you’ll never be alone
Pride is part of jealousy
It’s ugly when defined
Strength is in the humble
And belief is in mankind
Your fervent heart is endearing
Your mind’s as strong as man
The last of life is living in the soul where you
began
And so learn, the world has solved her problems on her
own
And you may wake one day believing you’re alone
But you’ll never be alone
No, you’ll never be alone
