I reach out
A voice projecting from the masses
You look around to see where I am
I was covered up an invisible coat
Worn by those who had lured me in
A fish on a hook drawn by the bait that was you
I held back the tears
I tried harder to stand out
for you to hear and see me
However, in the end, there was no you
I forgot the inner me that I used to so stronger see
Now my passion is recharging and so is my trust
The person I'm trying to reach has a radio that is out of order
No voices heard just static
The switch was shut off on me a unit lay to rust
The day will come when you are at the Microphone
Singing to me
For me to save you from the coldness that chills you to the bone
You will lose trust in people
You shall feel fear in places
avoiding places tied to memories
Chilled to find you will not make it to the steeple.
One fine day the one who has the heart to hear me
shall have her radio on
It shall be in top running shape as she knows how it should work
Keeps it in fine tune - she hears me
A connection binds of such I'll be found
of as the lonely nights end and we dance together
Loving each other through all days, forever.
To those who fail to keep their radios on
don't listen to this voice
Missing the blessings from me that I've been giving as gifts to you
You shall miss out on this blessing that is my heart
As my voice is my broadcast and you have known when I started.
To reach out to all in-kind faith
You have the heart to return the transmission
You have been confused on what trust truly is
what fear paralyzes the soul
and what motivation aids in the transmission
of your feelings to voice
or a hand to lift back to mine
Then our hearts will truly be intertwined.
My mission is straight and loving
There is no reason to question it there
In your heart
Let me finish this broadcast and see you reach back
My story is complete
Now, what are you going to do?
But reach out and not simply freeze and stare.
