HOLE TO HELL

I found a Hole in my backyard
It's very deep
I found it late one night
When I was sound asleep

I woke from sleepwalking
My eyes looked down the Hole
One gust of wind would knock me in
And steal my soul

I stepped away so cautiously
That's when I got down on my knees
I crawled back over to the Hole
And shined a flashlight deep inside it
But I didn't see the end
The bottom was unseen

I found the nerve to try
To crawl into the Hole
It drops diagonally
It's not a straight down fall

The Hole too narrow
For a slow but steady slide
I have to push myself
It's free but not a ride

I pushed my way past water springs
I drank the water and found things to eat
I ate some plants and bugs and worms
And anything else I could find
And I kept crawling down the Hole
I had to see the end
Continued to descend
Saw faint but growing light
Felt heat like fire bright

I found a Hole to Hell
It's very very long
I'm much too tired now
To make my effort strong

To crawl back up to Earthcrust
To see the sky again
Too weak to make return trip
To where I've always been

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
