Pay The Piper Poem by Kelly Zion

Now it's time to pay the piper
for the time that we have lost
We've been given pretty wings
but we chose to lick the dust

Oh, how kind is humankind?
We inherit a lost cause
it's time to change the minds
of a people come and gone

We reach inside ourselves for the courage to go on
but our pockets they are empty and our hope it is lost
And we can't pay the pipe off

We were given a job to do
we knew all the truth
but we sold it for the lies
we were given pretty wings
but we chose other things
and now we're running out of time

As we reach the edge
Now standing on the ledge
looking down at the weak
we can't wait that long to speak

Now it's time to pay the piper
for the lives we have left
looking down as the whole world
lose their souls to the flesh

Reaching down in our hearts now
All we find are empty words
have we lost the heart now
to continue on our journey?

When we are so close to the finish line
when this world is so close to the end of time

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Oh, they won't have to pay the piper
because the piper has been paid
If they turn their eyes to the Lord
And their backs to their ways

Oh he opened up a doorway
So they could find peace
He made us a pathway
So we could escape

Oh, the piper still is coming
He's humming an old tune
And all of those hearts blinded
Will follow him right down

So turn your ways now people
Avert your eyes and ears
Your Shepard He is calling
And His voice alone you hear

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
