"Let me sit and go blind in my dreaming and be that dream in purpose and device." Amiri Baraka "The New World"

lyrics

Have you nothing to die for,
Pretending things are fine?
Are you looking for a new way,
Or still standing in line?

Does failure make you tremble?
Will you someday heed the call?

On a rainy afternoon, well into the fall...

We may find what heals us most,
When we recognize the ghost,
That whispers in the night,
"Are you willing to try or waiting to die?"

Another day has come and passed,
Every minute weighs a ton.
There are times your plans fall through,
And your dreams become undone.

How badly do you want it?
Will you grind and sweat and burn?

When stricken with uncertainty, remember what you've learned...

We may find what heals us most,
When we recognize the ghost,
That whispers in the night,
"Are you willing to try or waiting to die?"
