Suffer Not A Witch III.

  
Life's ha-aaard enough  
without the Lord piling on  
more heavy heartache  
one can shoulder  
as you get older  
 
Come the day when  
Life wouldn't be so rough  
Destiny written in the stars  
She wouldn't let anyone  
or thing hold her back  
 
Child, take it from me  
be sure that you don't suffer  
needlessly  
 
Run wild and fast!  
Outlast misery;  
leave it in the Past  
 
It's a chest squatting hag  
baggage you shouldn't carry  
when what you really need  
is to unpack;  
 
break free  
of the mold from which  
you were never cast  
 
and partake in Forgiveness  
best drug ever passed around  
I recommend you get yourself  
a daily fix  
 
Embrace Love whenever ya can  
An' wherever they may  
let the ashes fall  
 
Phoenix  
crawl out from that ditch you're in  
Dust yourself off and rise  
through the mist  
above it all  
 
proud  
strong  
and  
tall  
as  
an  
Appalachian
