Oracle

I come to you, humble and willing Brave stepping over the bones of my brethren I wouldn't come here if I wasn't desperate But I am too small, I cannot lift this One cement block could hold all I love Each moment sinking into the mud And I would do everything in my own power But I am too small, and so is the hour And will I never be great Because I refuse to be cruel Will I always be afraid Will I always need An oracle? They said you were great, and they were not lying But why is this greatness so terrifying Great and terrible, always in pairs Come to an oracle, trembling and scared And will I never be great Because I refuse to be cruel Will I always be afraid Will I always need An oracle? I do not steal like the rats in the rosebushes I do not kill like the owl in the forest I do not lie like the leaders of fortresses So will I die with the kind and the powerless? I do not steal like the rats in the rosebushes I do not kill like the owl in the forest I do not lie like the leaders of fortresses So I will die with the kind and the powerless Powerless And I say that I will never be great Because I refuse to be cruel So I will always be a little afraid I will always be little, but I would rather be little Than ever be An oracle
