for jeremy at twenty

there are no obstacles on the sacred way
your path was made as smooth as heart could hope
we ask that you remember on this day

life has a healthy share of plots to lay
but we are sure that you've the skill to cope
there are no obstacles on the sacred way

don't let the foolish visions make you stray
a little error and you're down the slope
we ask that you remember on this day

there is a price that each of us must pay
you learn this long before you have to mope
there are no obstacles on the sacred way

you will soon find we aren't allowed to stay
and that for some things we for long time grope
we ask that you remember on this day

there are so many things i have to say
time it turns out is not as long as rope
there are no obstacles on the sacred way
we ask that you remember on this day
