Steer Your Way |
| Steer your way past the ruins of the altar and the mall |
| Steer your way through the fables of creation and the fall |
| Steer your way past the palaces that rise above the rot |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
| Steer your heart past the truth that you believed in yesterday |
| Such as fundamental goodness and the wisdom of the way |
| Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women whom you bought |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
| Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you |
| That smashed the cosmic model, that blinded every view |
| And please don’t make me go there, though there be a God or not |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
| They whisper still, the ancient stones |
| The blunted mountains weep |
| As he died to make men holy |
| Let us die to make things cheap |
| And say the mea culpa, which you probably forgot |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
| Steer your way, o my heart, though I have no right to ask |
| To the one who was never, never equal to the task |
| Who knows he’s been convicted, who knows he will be shot |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
| They whisper still, the injured stones |
| The blunted mountains weep |
| As he died to make men holy |
| Let us die to make things cheap |
| And say your mea culpa, which you gradually forgot |
| Year by year, month by month, day by day |
| Thought by thought |
