    Please read these lyrics and reflect on your time as a witness and as you exited and let me know what memory's and thoughts it brings back to mind. Im interested as to how you all felt at that critical time in your life.

    I've this creeping
    Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
    Reassure me
    Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
    Now I've been praying
    For some way to show them
    I'm not what they see
    Yes, I have done wrong
    But what I did I thought needed be done
    I swear

    Oh, Unholy day
    If I leave now I might get away
    Oh, but this weighs on me
    As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
    I was just wondering if you'd come along
    Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
    I'll do the same if the same's what you want
    But if not I'll go
    I will go alone
    I'm a long way
    From that fool's mistake
    And now forever pay
    No, run
    I will run and I'll be ok
    I was just wondering if you'd come along
    Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
    I'll do the same if the same's what you want
    But if not I'll go
    I will go alone
    I go a long way
    To bury the past for I don't want to pay
    Oh, how I wish this
    To turn back the clock and do over again
    Now I'm just wondering if you'd come along
    Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
    I'll do the same if the same's what you want
    But if not I'll go
    I will go alone

    I need so
    To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
    And oh it weighs on me
    As heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold
    I was just wondering if you'd come along
    Tell me you will.
    From the song "The Stone" by Dave Matthews Band

    I was just wanting to share these lyrics with you and see what you guys thought.

    For me this song really was a comfort to me in my exit and seems to emminate many of the feelings I had during this turbulent emtional period of my life. To me many things were a creeping suspicion at the time as to the honesty of the organization and I was trying to show others I cared for the truth, hoping they would not just view me as misguided and apostate. I felt the need to help them and in doing so it helped me, but I had to go hoping they would come too but if not I would go alone. All of it was as the lyrics express a wieght on me as heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold.
