Creature of magnificence
I am ecstatic to see you glow
You’ve been lost in shadows cast
by those you want to know
You are more than what you think
though at times it may seem
your worth is less than zinc,
the final page from a ream
I know the light is there
I can feel it in your stare
your fingertips move mountains
and quiet fountains of despair
Your words can build temples
and leave them in ruins
Your mind screams for purpose
while abiding outside influence
The system is broken
and we are broken too
and we fill our cracks with darkness
but the light always shines through

I know the light is there
I can feel it in your stare
your fingertips move mountains
and quiet fountains of despair
Your words can build temples
and leave them in ruins
Your mind screams for purpose
while abiding outside influence
The system is broken
and we are broken too
and we fill our cracks with darkness
but the light always shines through
