So Begins the Task Lyrics

Artist: Stephen Stills
Album: Manassas

And so begins the task
I have dreaded the coming of
For so long
I wait for the sun
To remind my body
It needs restin'
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
Camping on the edge
Of your city I wait
Hoping someday
You might
See
Beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling
Hard
But not real
Like the bars that cage
You within yourself
And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
All of these cages
Must
And shall be set aside
They will only
Keep
Us from the knowing
Actors
And stages
Now fall before the truth
As th love
Shared
Between us
Remains
...Growing
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how

"Ascension" song, Bubba! You were
years ahead of US back in 1972. I understand it now. WOW! This Master work should be re-released so EVERYONE can hear it. Really!
