keep complete (the mission)

o my love
...the tears so like rain
   start to fall down...
   
reminding of
...all the years of pain
   that've come before now...

with the love
...and mercy from above
   they shall wash out...

any lingering
...taste that still remains
   in your mouth...

as i walk these streets
as i stain these sheets
can i come correct?
can i keep complete?

you know i strain
    to refrain
from complainin'

but sista can you tell me
will i ever be complete?
