chasing after justice

Opposing torrents roaring to and away them
When their listeners hear another tune
Justice and justice nearer they beckon
Mounting the hill tops and plains
Asking the noisy blowing winds
And touching the running rivers
For answers and a stand still

Justice and justice all around us
Yet find we not when we call
Hiding their heads in the hole
Leaving their body all to space
For the little fingers all to see

We search for justice far away
When righteousness so near us to take
Take we not but in the dark shadows
To grope, strangers to lead astray

Justice and justice when time past
That hurt and pain that I once bear
Not smelling the aroma of righteousness
When close to it I had lain
Will leave me here, when all is done and gone

Justice and justice demanded his rights
With eyes that are covered
With the revenge of yesterday
Yourself you’ll become unjust
To even plea for her unfailing mercy

Justice and justice our undeniable rights
Mercy and mercy still the best

If we can temper with justice
Righteousness we’ll not call
But like our shadows will lie with us
All what we have achieved for years
The toiled respect and earned reputation
That we’ll be in the heavenly field
An illusion and its place a shooting star
Still roaming the firm firmament because of justice

When the free entry with mercy awaiting us
Will be gone.
Gone into perpetual glory without us
