Outside the gate there lived a man

A man with a forgotten name

Who tried to feel most everything

But where he ended up was wrapped in shame

It's how you shape the day to day

Not what you hide behind

We are born with this sin he said

And with this sin we must surely die


And we don't see him anymore

He's lost his way now that's for sure


She doesn't recognize him

But she knew him very well

The tattered suit, the leather boots

The ringing of the bells

She said, "It's what you give"

And what you take and what you leave behind

That marks the measure of your life

She said she knew him very well


There was a man who lived outside the gate

And guilty was his name

He tried to love most everything

But where he ended up was wrapped in shame

It's who he loved and what he took

And who he left behind

That marked the measure of his life

You know that Guilty was his name
