Light
So simple we forget about it
So important we can't live without it
So universal we don't speak about it
but it's always there for us
through thick and thin
through anger and fuss
through pride and sin
and we hardly stop to acknowledge
the light
The light
That reveals to us the beauty of the world
The beauty of ourselves
The light that makes our food grow
Without the world would just be a shadow
A rock void of life
Sailing into the pitch black emptiness of space
No animals, no plants, no human race
No beauty
The light that loves us so much
it literally goes to the moon and back
just to warm us through the night
The light that’s loved us from the beginning
For so long we take it for granted
Granted we haven’t been around that long
Not even a fraction of a second
In the eyes of the light
but
I can’t live without that light
Not just the light keeps me alive
But the light that warms my soul
Because everyday it strengthens my drive
To smile even when I loose control
Of my life, of my thoughts, my world
Even when it seems everything is coming unfurled
I keep running, I keep going, I keep smiling
Even as the woes keep piling
Up on my mind, I tell them to go away
Because the light shows me the way
It shows me the wonders of life
Tells my to put down my knife
Cast aside my hatred, And fight, And embrace forgiving,
Because all life is bright, And all life, is worth living.
