The Price to Pay
We have a journey coming. The path is marked for you.
Youve all received instructions in the things you have to do.
Dont worry about the payment. Your fares been paid in full.
It took a little influence, but we know Someone with pull.
You may have had a chance sometime, to give some kids a ride.
Im sure it made you feel real good, somewhere deep inside.
How generous could you have been to pay the price in pain?
Could you have had the courage to go back again and again?
A million times? A billion? Ten billion ... even more?
We cant conceive the suffering, or the purpose it was for.
The passage has been paid for us, but somethings still not fair.
You still owe a debt of gratitude that cant be paid by prayer.
You can pay this debt to others who may need something from you,
Pay it forward, if you will, when you see that its come due.
The ones who need are needy. Some even carry signs.
Be careful though to choose your path, there are so many lines.
Do not fall prey to giving, just for the givings sake.
The proper way to lend your help will give your back an ache.
And blisters could show up on those oh-so-soft hands you have,
Be comforted that where youre bound, there will be healing salve.
