Bubbling below the surface
Anger fills the vein
Beneath a smile, under the joy
Peace cannot contain

Absolute truth, relative dream
Competing to take the stage
Naked emotions scream for calm
Pain of life from all the age

Grateful for the clarity
Yet, I'd like to cower and hide
Understanding has it's price
Closing the greatest divide

Life goes on as I walk the path
Knowing that I can choose to fly
Today, I will accompany my friends
Sweet aloneness; connected, you and I
