to live in the world
to live in the world
as the salt and as the light
the stories you’ll tell
to live in the world
as the salt and as the light
the stories you’ll tell
how far will we fall
as a once great nation
history watches
what are we become
wrapped up in self righteousness
imprisoned children
casting of shadows
the break of sun through the trees
a lantern awaits
chemical engines
feed us right and watch us go
powered by caffeine
with diversity
we are stronger together
nurturing kindness
anticipation
of a hot bath being drawn
a taste of whiskey
a single candle
to fight against the darkness
renegade poets
shadows are stirring
underneath a broken moon
northeast approaching
the night held voices
whisperings in its deepness
all bonny and blithe
