Peace

I got up one morning and asked who I was
Couldn’t recognize my face still had remnants of buzz
Kinda scared me at first when I couldn’t place my face
My body hadn’t caught up to my living fast paced

I lost my sense of self tried to find it in the mirror
The longer I looked the more the picture got clearer
So tangled in performing and other peoples perception
Got my spirit sick dying from infection

Living the way I was was poison to me
I was numb from head to toe dead emotionally
They teach you to be cold so you can bear anything
But acting like it don’t hurt don’t lessen the sting

Life is so hard like it’s our nature to suffer
I can’t believe that our faith gotta be tougher
No matter where we are we all search for peace
We choose different avenues just trying to be at ease

Living and dying is all u are required to do
Everything else is a choice that’s left up to you
Move Closer

Cant change circumstances you can determine outcomes
Things can change from just the power of one
Move Closer

Its not my intention to change world
But if I can catch one ear for my words to grab hold
I can make the angel on the shoulder just a lil bit stronger
Maybe we can keep peace going a just lil bit longer

Not one more life lost in vain causes
Not another mother who for love no longer pauses
It shouldn’t take a death for you to realize life
Especially when your next day is just a roll of the dice

Try to appreciate things view folk in a good light
Try to avoid problems know when arguments are trite 
Be your brothers keeper but look out for you own
Recognize people that will do you wrong

Move Closer to your dreams like Goapele say
Get on your grind don’t let the negative block ya way
For all you know this could be your last go round
You want to be at peace when they lay you in the ground


Vengeance is sweet but it not mine to taste
Won’t let it consume me even though it needs to take place
Positions of power need to be cleaned out
Cuz their good intentions I seriously doubt

But I don’t hold power can only do so much
But I got the sense to know their lives I can touch
Where there are tears I got hands to dry
Yes I will be there in the blink of an eye

So don’t worry your little head its all under control
Someone watches us and cares for our souls
Just trying to make through live day by day
Looking for my spot in this musical soiree

Using what I have because its all I can give
Searching for peace cuz its how I want to live
Doing what I can to move a lil closer 
Doing a little good before its all over

The flow was nice, i don't really have anything negative to say, i get all biased when things have a beat to it lol. BUT i do look foreward to reading more of your work. This seems like it would be even better spoken sooo....add your voice to it lol.
