To Heaven or Oz
    7:10 a.m.

I want you to care about something that's real
realer than clouds in the sky
realer than alcohol's high
realer than life passing by

I want you to care about something you feel
maybe I'll tear out your heart
just to give you a part
or maybe I'll fart

sometimes I want to shock you
rip at your senses
break down your defenses
to know who you are

not a pie in the sky dream
but what do you find
when you challenge your mind
(do you go that far?)

I want you to question (and answer) your prayers
to take charge of your life
to take responsibility
for yourself

I want you to challenge your core beliefs
and how you abide them
and how you ignore them
what's on your shelf?

sometimes I want to rock you
give comfort a pause
sometimes I want to inspect
all that ever was

for the truth is out there
and what do you find
when you challenge your mind
to Heaven or Oz

what if everything you've ever believed to be true
about the things you can't explain turned out wrong?
would you hide your head in shame or take arms to fight
or would you be able to learn another song?
how far would you go to feel you belong?
I want to know your
faith, heart, mind, soul
most of all
what about you is really strong?
