Of what do I know?
How did this come to be?
Such ways that one could grow
To understand mercy
When hardships befall
And insults are common
A wave engulfs them all
Beyond logic or reason
Kings serving their subjects
Children lifted high
Words that pierce what fear protects
A brighter dawn is nigh
Take the stairs to grow higher
Sacrifice passivity
Refuse the escalator
To achieve tranquility
Notice the little things
The whispers of the pain
The unheard murmurings
People shout inside their brain
Stillness allows you to hear
Souls crying to be cared for
Sorrow of the unshed tear
Wounds buried in their core
When you can grasp at the roots
Feel and heal the brokenness
Find the gold beneath the suits
And melt away loneliness
Then you will have discovered
The beginnings of honor
Focus on what's uncovered
Gold with worth beyond measure
People do soar higher
Value beyond their thinking
A touch can light them on fire
An ocean of oil burning
Though blinded from the treasure
Most people's eyes are sewn shut
By threads of lies so clever
That weave and wind and curl and cut
Eyes shining with blazing glory
Can see deposits of gold
And rewrite a dark story
Of a heart that has gone cold
