Abide

Music and Lyric by Dennis Davison

Would a man take it in stride

The long descending slide

Through a ghost town called despair

There’s no sanctuary where he’ll ride

If it were yours to decide

Would you flow with nature’s tide

Be content just to conform to the norm

Or would you dare defy

As you ponder the options

You will rationalize you must abide

There’s a sun and there’s a sky

You’re born and then you die

You will laugh and you will cry

You won’t change it even if you try

As you ponder the options

You will rationalize you must

Abide by the hand that reigns over the land

And abide by the rules that govern sea and sand

And abide by the laws that guide woman and man

As you ponder the options

You will rationalize you must abide
