A Shell In Hand

Location

 In time you will see that life is a shell

Alive in the water but cold and pale

No time for the wonder

No time for the awe

Deep in the dark no one sees a flaw

Dream your dream to be above water

To see sunrise

To see sunrise

This shell in hand is a safe one

Grip it and it wont fade 

Drop it into the ocean.... and it wont fade

What is life to you when you walk the beach

The sun is set but you can't reach

The ocean is for freedom

That is not you

You are the shell in the great blue

Outside is beauty for what you allow 

Silent is death you must Speak Now
