The Beautiful People

The Beautidul People

For all of us standing by

waiting with a tear in our eye.

We shout in our hearts. When will be the time

when there will be no crime!

 

There are a lot of us who feel this way you see.

Those of us who have so much inside but just don’t know what to be

so we keep it all inside and stand idle like a tree

and oh do we wait patiently.

 

In our daily lives

we are there by our loved ones sides.

When they make mistakes we show them the way in strides

and when we can’t help them we hurt in secret inside.

We are the good, we are the enlightened, and by God de we try

 

Every day we find ourselves in a war that we fight.

An endless struggle to show our fellow man the foolishness of their plight

 

Can’t they see that this very day

would be so much better if they would just let us show them the way.

For God’s sake, ours, and your own listen to what we say!

We swear life could be better someday!

 

But no. Our thoughts, our actions, our love, and our words fall on deaf ears

so we stand by and watch the world throughout the years

be consumed by temptation and its fears.

Yet still we wish that we could help as our faces fill with tears

but then… the answer is clear.

 

Raise your head up from the ground

look around

and be proud.

We are the people you meet on the street that can smile and turn your world upside down.

Then lend an ear and listen for the sound

of a million and one people just waiting to be found.

If we all got together we would make everything better, and so help me we will astound

and make this whole world come around.

 

We are the people that cry when they watch the news.

The people who care and always speak the truth.

We are the artists, the lovers, and the peace makers who if you let us would be your muse.

Because whether you know it or not we love you.

 

~For all of us who feel every day like they were put here to make this world better, know your you’re not alone.~
