What Can I DoA Poem by Healing StarIt's Here, it's here, the Christmas Spirit has Returned.What can I Do What can I Do What can I Do For the man who must sleep on the Bench For the baby who cries all Day For the woman that has nothing to Share with her babies at Night Am I ashamed Am I ashamed Am I ashamed For Not being Them Can I see it in a different Way Can I not give up before opening the Door Can I believe in these Arms that I Have What can I Do What can I Do What can I Do For the people caught in the Struggle For the people who have been bombed Out For the children who are trampled Under Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed For not being Them What can I Do What can I Do What can I Do Can I stop looking Away Can I stop my addiction for Distraction Can I focus my Intent to bring the Change Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed For not being Them Do I Believe Do I Believe Do I Believe There is Hope for the Hopeless That something can be Done That I can plant a new Seed Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed For not being Them What can I Do What can I Do What can I Do I will keep my Heart Open I will look when the darkness rolls Past I will weep for the Child who is left Alone Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed Am I Ashamed For not being Them My hands are here if you need Them My roof offers protection for any one of You My roots go deep and I'll ask them to feed You Too Wash my Shame Wash my Shame Wash my Shame Rise from the ashes you Phoenix growing Strong Spread your wings mighty Eagle and carry us to a Brighter Day I will Lift Ya I will Gift Ya I will Sift Ya I will take you to my Palestine And in my room we'll drink some Heavenly Wine I will See You I will Not turn Away Where ever you Are I will go There And I will be There Not be somewhere Else Hey, my name is Gary I am pleased to meet You Is there anything, anything at all that I can Do And You my Friend Will wash my Shame You will wash my Shame No longer living a life of Neglect But each Day A life of Intent A life of Trust A life of Meaning A life of Being Present This, this Beauty, is what I Can Do © 2014 Healing Star |
