I can’t always say

Things I want to say

*

To keep our lives together

We have to be smart

I can still love

The way I want to love

Even if I can’t say it loud

From the bottom of my heart

One day at a time

Chip away piece by piece

Tear down barriers

Try to make it right

Even pure words don’t always do justice

That doesn’t mean we can’t still win the fight

*

Look at who we are

Conscious beings

Different folks and creatures

All born from a spark

No matter where we came from

Or how life is going

We can find brighter hopes and features

To get past nights that are dark

Quiet or loud we win

When care and love are on the mark

*

I’m right on target

Arrow splitting arrow

Maybe you can see it

But you just can’t speak

The bullseye we’re looking at

Is the aim of our hearts

Incomparable

Maybe you can feel it

When this thought is complete

*

Say a word for peace

Say what you want to me

Don’t leave anyone out

Aim higher to help us all live better

*

We can’t always say

Things we want to say

*

To keep life together

We have to work hard

We can still love

The way we want to love

It can be best to say it loud

From the bottom of our heart

One day at a time

Chip away piece by piece

Tear down barriers

Try to make it right

Even pure words don’t always do justice

Doesn’t mean we can’t still win the fight

*

Look at who we are

Conscious beings

Special folk and creatures

All born from a spark

No matter where we came from

Or how life’s going

We can climb over higher slopes and detours

To get past days that seem dark

Quiet or loud we win

Caring

Way more

A walk in the park
