tell me what you see.

Do you see the little child still lingering in me?

Do you see this soul yearning for peace and harmony?

Afraid of what is coming,

afraid of what is to be.

Look into my head.

Can you see inside my dreams?

Swirling thoughts within my mind,

life’s not always as it seems.

Look into my soul,

tell me what I feel.

Tell me that this is all a dream and that its not real.

Tell me that I’ll wake up soon and that it will all just disappear.

Why must some be cruel and others rush to war?

What is there to gain or prove, when hatred is the score?

But through the dark and dust I see our nation rise above,

we can soar above the soot if we fill our hearts with love.

Let us never forget that we are united as we stand,

and we can build a tower of hope and face anything hand in hand.
