I Live pointing the way

I live in a world that's lost it's way.

I live at the end of one day

and the beginning of another

I live in a world, where brother lies to brother.

 

I live in a world of lost dreams,

where we wake up hearing our own screams.

A world of corruption

where people live who have forgotten how to sing.

We live in a world where dreams have died

yet still cry out in the night

tormenting their owners in the night

like lost ghosts lost in time.

 

I live in a world so confused

that the victims soon become the abused

where people confuse wrong with the right

and divine answers that are falsehoods

when the truth could be easily known

if they didn't perpetuate foolish behavior and suffering.

 

I live in a world of fear and delusion

where people seek happiness in wealth and illusion

Where greed destroys future and present

and people throw away the good without taking heed

of where their real value lies.

 

And I live and I dance and I sing.

celebrating life in internal freedom

I am one among millions of I's

I am I, unique and powerful in potential

And I know how things can be so I dance and I sing, pointing a way.
