Photograph

Take a picture of your life
Put it on your bedroom wall
Check on it from time to time
Make sure that you don't lose heart
Take a picture of your life
Frame by frame
Profiles of courage
Name by name
Put a picture of your sadness
Next to one from better days
It's a holy madness
There's holy joy and there's holy pain
You came to bum a smoke
We stayed together as the season pass
You left with story
And a shoebox of photographs
Lightning
The cameras are flashing
The moments are passing
The proof of it all
Lightning
Petty and tragic
The horror
The magic
Remember it all
