Price

A price for everything
Pay with sense to sing
A free life for a ring
Dreams for smiles to bring
Blankness to sanity cling

A price for everytime
Weary mornings for a night prime
Bruises and cuts for fun's grime
Gutter's slime for a much-needed dime
Loved faces for fortuitous clime

A price for everywhere
Comfort of here for a greener there
Beauty for a well-fed layer
Innocence to be a player
Scruples for unwilling cheers

A price for everyone
Hopes for every crime done
A rose for every gun
Countles nights behind the sun
Home for a man on the run

A price for you
Taunts for a love so true
Embraces for a heart beaten blue
A price for me
Freedom for acceptance plea
My whole world for this wild spree
