Tell me one of your
beautiful stories.
Sing me one of your
wonderful songs.
I have been left here
with nothing but sorrow.
I have been left weak
in the land of the strong.
Show me the breadth
and the depth of creation.
Show me the valleys
and show me the sky.
I want to see all
above and below me.
I want to be there.
I want to know why.
We trap ourselves
in these lives of distraction.
Busy our minds
with material things.
When all our hearts
could experience wonder,
tasting the fruit
curiosity brings.
We close our eyes.
We close our minds.
Silent and blind.
How can this be life?
Show me what you bring.
Tell me everything.
We exist here
more than just inside.
Open your eyes
and describe me your vision.
Wake from your slumber
and tell me your dreams.
Start at the heart
and depart at the ending
and I will live with you
in the space between.
We are
more than just stars.
We are
more than our start.
We are
the light in our hearts.
Tell me a story
of whom you would be,
If your life
touched infinity.
Sing me
the song in your soul.
The one
that nobody knows.
