Life

All the world's a mirror
All people wear blindfolds
All the sky is pale grey
All the sunset grow so cold

Who will dare to listen
Who will dare to do
To take off these weary facemask
And see the reality of you?

No one likes to see the truth
No one likes to know their lies
Yet finding true fulfillment
Starts with opening our eyes

To see our lives for what they are
To see the hearts behind our hands
To follow the threads of reason
Into our past, those cold and distant lands

Who will dare to listen
Who will dare to do
To take off these weary facemask
And see the reality of you?

Follow threads of raw emotion
To the secret place of pain
From where springs wrath and envy
From where you flinch at a name

Why do you do what you do?
Why do you seek that one thing?
Why have you still not gotten it?
When will your life truly begin?

Dare to find the secret pain
Hidden deep within your soul
Dare to seek and find a way
To heal the wound and become whole

The things you do without thinking
The things you think without just cause
These are the triggers the subtle hints
They should be considered, take a moment and pause

Find them out in the dark places
Bring them to the glorious light
Let healing and forgiveness enter
Do not resist it, do not fight

When you know why you do what you do
Then you can decide to stop of keep going
But either way, with more self discovery
You'll feel yourself start growing

So look, look, follow those clues
Find them, in your past's dark halls
Expose them to the light of truth
And no longer answer their silent calls

Take charge of your life
Live each day for your King
Laugh loud, run fast, breathe deep
And learn, with all your heart, to sing
