In Your Soul

In your soul is the future of the world
You see and say and tear the lights in you
Within this context your future's unfurled
Without, we pray There's nothing left to do

Of course, prayer isn't going to help it
Without action, we might as well be sleep
What's an heirloom rock if no one smelts it?
Unless we act and then begin to weep?

In your soul is the power of a gem
You can't win with your one head in the pot
I will it that you'll promise me again
The Sultan of Swing's lighted mind forgot

I can't sleep without a well-lighted Jab
You forget all the things I never had
