SAINTS AND SINNERS

Tell me of the nature of the human mind

Is it basically evil, or basically kind?

Is it really true that people will always fight?

Or are we all constructed out of towers of light?


Mother Theresa, Ghandi, and all the saints.

Hitler and Mao, Bin Laden, all had their day.

Do you believe in original sin?

Is there a devil that is hiding within?


Or are we all angels inside?

Moral and pure only corrupted by lies.

Or is there a darkness that hides?

Deep inside us there's room for both of these kinds.


***


It's all inside us, and there's more.

The shadow, the saint, the sinner.

The pure child, safe in mama's arms.

A little devil. A towering pillar of light.


This darkness, buried deep.

Gets darker, down the deeper we go.

Touch the dark side, and proceed.

Let the light shine, down on you and me.

Let the light shine, down on you and me.
