What You've Got

So you’re ready for death?
You think you’ve finished the test?
Don’t you know that you’re loved?
Don’t you see that you’re blessed?

Will it be worth it,
All the things you’ll be missing?
The flavors of this life,
Replaced by the death that you’re wishing?

Have you really had enough of the sky,
The caress of the wind,
Hearing the laughter of light,
Overcoming the darkness of sin?

Are you willing to pay the price,
The surrender will require,
Give up the potential,
For a dead-end desire?

You may think you are free,
I assure you you’re not,
And the blade of that knife,
Won’t bring you the peace that you’ve sought

You’ve been given a treasure,
Don’t throw it away,
Because there are those around you,
Wishing they could stay.
