When
we are One
Singing
with the choir, we are born into this life
some
of us raise hell and fire
some
of us just dust
and
the years go by like passing moments
when
we are one, we are beautiful
in
this world we tame the fires
we
start the fires we breathe the fires
I
wonder if we all are lilies, lilies open hearts desires
and
the years go by like passing moments
when
we are one, we are beautiful
even when you think, you're falling
apart
you are stronger then the weight of your
heart
and when you think your falling apart
don't be fooled by desire, reach for
something higher
maybe
we are exploding stars, exploding stars
maybe
we are the greatest part, the greatest part
and
the years go by like passing moments
when
we are one, we are beautiful
I can definitely hear this as a song, it's a beautiful poem.
