So Begins the Task Lyrics by Manassas

Manassas

1972

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 live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow
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 live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow
And I must learn to live without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part somehow
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 the love shared
Between us remains
...Growing
And I must learn to live without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
