Great song. You’ve given me so many moments of musical bliss over the years, I realize this isnt proper channel... but sincerly ... thank you

Self deception 
Is that my election? 
To not understand 
Is it something I demand? 
Gentle hand 
Guiding me 
Wherever I stand. 
The gift of faith 
We try to negotiate. 
Leap of faith 
How do we pontificate? 
Do I buy into an event? 
Is it some reaction 
To death I vent? 
Or a state of mind 
I try to find? 
A place to be 
Where it sets me free 
Connection me to you 
Past the religious 
Propagation 
Of specialness 
To death 
No understanding 
It just takes 
One breath. 
The breathing in of air 
Connecting us 
Everywhere. 
I try to be more clear. 
Let’s try to clean the air 
By understanding your faith 
More than something 
You were 
It’s found in releasing 
The grip we place 
On our mind 
Dividing the oneness 
Lost in time. 
Dragged through 
Suffering a sight 
That’s blind 
Blind to the gentle nudge 
Of the silent voice 
Of mine 
Faith is our 
Mental state of mind 
Knowing of the truth. 
This is the gift 
Given to you 
To let go of the world 
Of space and time 
Replacing faith 
Back into my find. 
A hidden treasure  
Misplaced wealth 
There it is 
Upon the shelf. 
Is it just a shelf 
Wretched bier 
Or really 
A holy altar 
touched by light and air. 
Let go of  
The hidden guilt 
It’s our own  
personal justice 
that tilts  
our judgement 
Reinforced  
by the belief 
In special proof 
Of an inclusion 
Built upon 
a divided illusion. 
Find yourself 
Experiencing faith 
In the simple fact 
It was always  
Given by God’s grace 
Don’t let it appeal 
To the shadow’s prolonging 
An illusionary battle 
Stop and stand 
Or just sit with no plan 
and take the next breath 
While feeling the hand. 
A simple breath  
with no mind 
is the path  
to love’s Divine  
opening the doorway 
to faith in my mind.
