When your head’s grown tired
And you feel ashamed
When the lies reveal
That it’s been a game
Don’t close down your heart
As you run away
Knowing love that’s pure
Doesn’t play that game
Just wait
Don’t give up on your self this time
When you
Need to leave that pain behind
Just trust
There’s a reason you came to witness
Hope isn’t
A bad word of yours or mine
All the world’s aflame
Not just one soul hurt
Others feel the same
Pushed into the dirt
Mismatched frequencies
Those winning losers
Wait for harmony
Not hasty users
Come here
And sit at the table beside me
We’ll feast
On more than the fruit of plenty
I’ve got
This secret I need to tell you
Don’t let
Their hatred’s momentum jail you
Pride’s a faulty horse
Unsure of its stride
Leads you off your course
Kicking biting mind
What you need is sight
Clarifying
Put your hand in mine
We’ll go flying
We don’t
Need to have all of the answers
For lessons
Will reveal as we go dancing
If we
Could understood all of the methods
There would
Be no need for our hesitation
Life is but a dream
‘Til you drink its wine
Nothing’s as it seems
‘Til we take that climb
Looking down we’ll see
More than humankind
It’s our destiny
To keep our worlds aligned
Yeah
I bet you didn’t know the reason
Of why
We arrived during altered seasons
Don’t give
Into dread’s deceptive collusion
Just know
Your part in creating solutions
When I look at you
I see my own light
Even when feels dim
Its still shining bright
All I have to say
All I know that’s true
We will find a way
I believe in you
So let’s
Go play at the feet of mountains
And breathe
In air from the salted seas
And glide
Across waves of grass in the open
And dream
Beneath forested canopies
No
Don’t be afraid to remember
There’s more
Than the years between you and me
Revealed
This world is waiting discovery
How real
It becomes when we can agree
Every time you looked
When nothing was found
Gained you more insight
To know if solid ground
Now our biggest leap
Putting fear aside
When the right one comes
It’s ok to try
I know
You see how we’ve all been struggling
So rest
Your weary head upon my thigh
It’s time
All our doubts have got to be bested
Dissolved
No longer have to suffer and cry
Who’s the boss of this
Who’s in charge of that
Doesn’t need a rule
Just the simple facts
What is functional
Verses greedy mess
Our truth will reveal
Hear its warmth instead
I know
You’re weary from the confusion
And why
Doesn’t anything ever make since
We’ve come
To create our own resolution
Just help
Wherever you feel that its best
Over time we’ll see
Rewards of attempts
Though never easy
And always put to test
Endurance has shown
Intentions come through
What’s false falls aside
Earth can be renewed
To care
Is not a lost cause investment
For love
Is the greatest prize to be won
Your will
Is the might against harsh illusion
Just grow
Our strength in full has yet to become
