Obliged To Man lyrics

I am the guardian of lost souls

Who wander into my care

My task of intention

To give direction and cause

The shared standing and falling

Their tears of joy and pain

Fall from my scarred cheeks

All that come and go

Know my presence

In their distance

Their spirit is near

These many years have passed

Wisdom grows with time

Pleas of forgiveness go forth

To those mistakenly wronged

I am a servant of this world

A teacher of the ignorant

A doctor of the ill

A keeper of secrets

A shoulder to weep upon

These days are so cold

Compassion frozen

Man is like a material

The disposable possession

A convience of the moment

Our social crime

Those who feel the loss are many

Those who deal with it are few

My destiny is of the few

In a world of so very many

Perhaps this is a persuader

To those who value my words

Though meager they may be

There are many debts to be paid

But few of such importance
