I dare you
To come out
Of your hole
And be my friend

You're in for a ride
An adventure gone wrong
A plane gone missing
Another broken heart

I dare you to tell me
All of your secrets
All of your hidden pride
All your beautiful imperfections

And I'll bring you
To the guru's without record
Prostitutes long forgotten
Extracting your awe-struck truth

Through pain and suffering
through love and hate
through joy and peace
I will take you

Till you once again
Bare yourself to the ocean
To those who've mothered you
On your hopeless travels

I dare you to reach for the skies
To love anyone who comes blindly
To find peace in the worst unrest
To be among the most judgmental

Yet to find love for a world
So wrong and unforgiving
By creating a unique fire
Spreading the ripple effects

Till you have found yourself
In the emptiness surrounding
Our pityful limited figures
Narrow-mindedly refusing

To see with eyes
Unclouded by hate
To be blind
Yet to believe

To hear not wealth
But kindness in one's heart
And to live by sharing
A vivid understanding of truth
