The Lesser Faith

Dreamed up a new word today
In my ignorance I gave it meaning
Who was I to know
To say it is to know it To hear it is to believe
I dreamed the world would end
I was not wrong
To doubt, to discredit
The words I’ve heard before
From inside a shell pretending
It’s all you’ve shown your faith
And what you’ve always known
So lay your trust in the unthinkable
It’s time to justify your lesser faith
It’s all your faith has shown
And all you’ve ever know
Why do you matter, you’re insignificant
How can you justify your lesser faith
To know it is to fear it To feel it is to say no To the blazing highs and lows
I know I’ll fail
To break, to cast it down
You take your lead
From the staff that must be broken in two
