Changing the Ink
Tears escaping the corners of my eyes
As I looked down on my baby’s face
She watched my cries
Emotions pouring out in a race
Baby, welcome- take a look
This world is your unwritten book
Do what you want- do what you can
Etch your legacy into every woman and man
Darling, you will see things that are nice
But you will also see quite the bit of vice
Change the mouth of the liar
The one who was the betrayer
Hatred and ignorance, you will find
Try also to change that in mankind
People crying into mirrors you will see
Remind them they are as pretty as can be
You may see wrists with pouring blood
Understand, they see their lives as mud
People will look at situations and think of Hell
Reassure them that everything will be well
Baby, welcome, take a look
In front of you are empty pages
It’s time to start writing your own book
