Day of Reckoning

by Kristina

I was born a long time ago
I’d bet you did not know
You don’t have to be grown or old
To have a chameleon soul

They called it the golden age
Even the good old days
But they weren’t so good to me
I had pain stricken tragedy

I was born sometime back when
We were ruled by lesser men
Then when I was born again
Different face not circumstance

So still I say
Not much has changed
When is the day
That we’ll be saved?

Oh, the reckoning
The end of you and me
Rebirth of humanity
As far as the eye can see
Oh, new beginning
Set the broken free
Sweet redemption
Please protect them
From the reckoning

I was told a long time ago
To think fast because life ain’t slow
You blink once and before you know
You’re halfway across the tight rope

And all the sudden you’re holding on
Trying with all you’ve got
To get there and back safe and sound
Feel your feet on solid ground

I was born sometime back when
You had more enemies than friends
Then when I was born again
I saw them all there holding hands

But still I say
Not much has changed
When is the day
We’ll all be the same?

Oh, the reckoning
The end of you and me
Rebirth of humanity
As far as the eye can see
Oh, new beginning
Set the broken free
Sweet redemption
Please protect them
From the reckoning

I think in time we’ll
Find some divine real
Meaning of this
Pursuit of happiness
I think we’re meant to
Find a brand new
Way to do this
Where we can all exist

Oh, the reckoning
The end of you and me
Rebirth of humanity
As far as the eye can see
Oh, new beginning
Set the broken free
Sweet redemptive soul
Please carry us home
After the reckoning
