The Crossing

Show me the arrows that I must follow
But don't abandon me in this place of darkness and despair
My skin was purchased for kindling and
The only tenant was cast out
To find a new abode somewhere under the gates
Disgracefully I have no shekels and can't pay the toll
What must I do to cross this river?
The oarsman waits with open palms and
He shivers at the thought that I cannot pay
Must I wander the shore forever?
Send me a dove
Let it light my way through this dream
Give me wings that I may walk the waves into my eternal rest
I can see my ancestors waving
Beckoning to me
They wave at their long lost son
To welcome him home
I don't want to stay here any longer
Let me go to the other side
