Never Touch The Ground Again

Number the stars and go and see them
Be a Renaissance man who’ll rearrange them
And never touch the ground again
Fly away from the homes of men
More honest than a math equation
Be the change and change the station
Fill the streets with fear and mayhem
But don’t leave us very long
Make a dream and pass it on
Find it rest in the hands of God
Stand aside when sinew weakens
But don’t desert us who run along
Strange shapes and stranger fiction
Blood is thick but ink will thicken
Don’t give in to the old prediction
The world needs what you’re bringing
Feel me, stay in the light
Walk with me, that’s alright
Stand by me, through the night
Here we go, time to go.

"Find it rest in the hands of God"
i really, really like that line. glad to know i'm not the only one who incorporates religion into writing, so i'll give you a plus one.:)
In contrast, I loved every line _apart_ from that one. I can respect writing with religious aspects, but it's something that -- personally -- really turns me off.
However, the rest of the piece compensated for that! +1
Understandable, religion turns me off too, but be sure to note the difference between 'religion' and God. It is huge.
Be sure to understand the difference between religion and cult, for it is small and important to notice if possible.
loved: Fill the streets with fear and mayhem/ But don’t leave us very long
though i must agree with neoeno's first comment b/c i'm a grumpy old stubborn prick of an atheist. :/
don't worry though, that still +1s it. ;)
The first two lines of the second stanza were what struck me. Mostly I think for the math equation bit, but the word play, for lack of a better phrase, on "change" was clever. Although, honestly, almost quoting Ghandi is a little overdone. Well done, though.
