Adversity

 

 

Some say dreams don’t come true it does not happen to me and you

Yet all the miracles I have seen wait in the shadows to be weaned

Though we walk through the valley of death often with adversity met

There are blossoms in the dessert to be seen they don’t wait to be

Show me a rose not needing rain to flower

There is heartbeat  stirring in an arid life

Show me a person with the keys of power

Who unlocks the pearly gates out of strife

Some say life is a bloody battle we are led like sheep and cattle

To the mediocre life of bone and survival and consuming of things

The media like a baby rattle everything’s shiny and soft nothing of metal

So we are earthbound trapped losing the shape and the span of our wings

Give me a rose I will show you where they flower

Give me a second of the miracle of life

Give me a story waiting for its hour

Give me a human reborn out of strife

Some say dreams get caught in our head then thy leave us for dead

We mourn grey clouds and rake with blood spattered ploughs

We just don’t get we are the drivers of the dreams that just fled

Where the tangles of our mind allowed all our visions endowed

We are the rose bleeding perfume as we flower

We are the essence of the miracle of life

We are the heroes of the hour

We are reborn from strife

 Some say there’s no rainbow end striking gold

Some won’t wish on a downward spiralling star

Some see the end picture and all the broken folds

Some doubt the beauty of who they are

In the fierceness of living we so often get beat down... yet here your music sings a song of hope and life to ever lift us into the skies. Passionate and beautiful.
