Beauty

There is beauty in this world if you can find it

There’s a light that shines inside the human soul

But we surrender to the darkness that surrounds us

Never knowing we can make our own selves whole

There is kindness in the smile of passing strangers

There’s a message in the words of your life’s song

But the worries of your life, the fear of danger

Make it difficult to simply sing along

All the mysteries the soul tries to unravel

All the secrets that you’re trying to conceal

Make it hard for you to find a rhyme or reason

To the truth you think you’re trying to reveal

Like a pilgrim searching for some hidden purpose

Looking everywhere but deep inside your heart

Always blind to all the beauty that’s inside you

Where the answers having been hiding from the start

Set aside your doubts and foolish inhibitions

And the fears that kept you frozen in the night

See the beauty in yourself and all around you

Moving forward, always walking in the light.
