There comes a time in a life

to pull on your coat,

and go outside.

Taste the vinegar and find

a bitter life...

but taste a second time,

a sweet surprise, a sweet surprise.

Its not that hard to figure it out.

When there's no question,

there's no doubt.

It burns in effigy, a time,

senseless time,

to view the miracle of the wine,

but it still was wine

and that was my crime.

There is a face in the storm

and we let it out to find its form;

to shape a testament of will,

strongest will...

of pride, humility.. its a bitter pill,

a bitter pill...

But a sweet surrender, oh my lord,

never thought I'd see.

Not surprised that still I find

I'm shaking... and crying...

but I'm laughing,

softly.

There comes a time in a life

to pull on your coat, and go outside.
